95, I agree...I was very disappointed when the 450 came out without a manual shift. I think it was about 15 years ago that someone converted a Wolvy to a manual shift with a clutch from a Warrior and it was quite a bad-*** machine, especially with the Warn 4-2-4

Unfortunately for the Wolverine, even with all it's "improvements" it wasn't good enough to keep it's place in the market. Not that it was a crappy machine, it just wasn't unique enough and/or didn't have a big enough reputation to warrant continued production

As far as the SRA v IRS, the SRA is far superior at power-sliding through corners...rough or smooth...to the IRS, and the SRA is also more stable on off-camber or sidehill trails than IRS...but IRS beats SRA pretty much everywhere else.
