Retarded
That is not a misprint, I meant retarded. I too have the retarder and I can not go anywhere unless I am up and down the hillls because of the area I live in. I have to use it constantly. I believe it was designed for flat areas. Not only can you cook the tranny oil, the tranny then will shift very hard and feels like it will jerk something loose until it has gone thru enough shifts to wash the retarder from its memory.
If I was in the process of evaluating a new to me coach purchase the retarded would not prevent me from purchasing it, but would definitely get a check on or in the minus column.
We have had similar discussions on one these forums before about this, and we have yet to come across anyone who truly understands the benefits of the retarded over the jake.
I am in agreement with Jon and Toms remarks.
Roger that!
