Manual or auto. I have 44% reduction gears in mine. I didnt like them in the auto. But in the manual they are awsome. Its just like having an extra lower gear and losing 5th gear in low range.

now, 2nd gear low range is eqaul to how first used to be without the crawler gears. First is half as slow again. Enables me to crawl up hills and rocks real slow without any slipping. Full control
