A friend of mine is near Scottsdale AZ towing a loaded 2 horse trailer in his 98 12V. 5th gear quit working and he'd like to find a shop to repair it. Anyone from around there?

 

Have him drive it home, My neighbor drove his around for 2 months waiting for time to install the torque king shaft and gear for his NV4500 he said it never hurt a thing and the tranny shop said so too for what its worth .02

 

Yep, been driving mine for almost a year now......gotta get under that stupid thing and fix it. Mileage hasn't suffered too much as well.
