low range issues

Post by lj »

i own a 75 series troopy. now in the owners manual it says not to exceed something like 16km/h in low range. does this mean not to exceed this speed when engaging low range or not to exceed it at all. if the second option is the case why is this. this speed can be exceeded in third gear when in low range.

thanks

i also have a 75 troopy. dont use 5th in low if possible. If you need to use 5th Low you should be in high range. Watch your tacho, and try not to stab the throttle but rather press/release it gradually. You have a lot of torque there and you could break something if your violent with the throttle.

i'm not implying that the drivetrain is weak. however there is no point putting unneccesary stress on the drivetrain. I still havent broken anything yet..... in the whole 3 months i've had my troopy.
