No second gear...LOL. When the tranny takes a dump you have no forwarning. The tranny could take a dump and destroy and entire engine and send you over the bars. I would fix it before taking the chance. A lot of guys that are still on the original tranny have very low hours on their machines. Mine has crapped out twice. Engine tore down and an 02 upgrade on it's way....[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img].....maybe some power goodies as well...[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]. Good luck.

 

I think you should go for it. Especially since money is not a problem! I have a 01 raptor with high hours and mine is doing great except few minor repairs!
