Re: Are two speed transmissions worth it?

We got two speed working pretty well in 2005 and 2006 with no technical problems, but the drivers got so caught up in the match that they would forget to switch gears and got pushed around. I guess it's fine when your drivers have had enough practice though

But yea, besides the question of whether your drivers will use it, a nice 5-15 two speed is really worth the extra work.
