I am thinking about getting an 05 eiger manual but read that the reverse gear is to High geared. Is it really bad on the trail or with 26" tires? I might get the auto instead because of the reverse override. Whats your thoughts?

Auto with strong reverse?
Manual with more power and weak reverse?

Or is the manual reverse fixed on the 2005 models? Will a clutch kit make the auto perform closer to a manual shift?

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!

 

the reverse is a problem...but you can still back up good...donno about with bigger tires

 

I have never had a problem with my reverse and I am running 26 inch mudlites. Seems to work fine for my uses. What is the problem with the reverse?

 

Never had a problem either - it's geared the same as low range first gear.
