Re: Custom Vs. COTS Transmissions

In my opinion, COTS are better overall until you want your drive to do special tricks. For example, the inclusion of P.T.O.s and neutral gears of 254s and 1114s gearboxes in 2010 to drive their hanger was brilliant. That is one of very few specail cases where I would value custom gearboxes over COTS. Just for the timing of the build season, I would still expect many of the individual parts in custom gearboxes like those to be COTS to save time.
