nothing wrong with the F13/F15/F17 boxes at all

on a standard car too, i think where i was having it 1st to 2nd the car wanted to spin but the t/c cut in and aplied the brakes and caused it the engine torque forcing against the brakes trying to stop it!

yea, the F15's, and the big block 16's and 20's are solid...as are the 28's. Old boxes were cracking...and took an absolute pasting. Just new ones are bollocks.

The traction control doesn't use the brakes, the traction control of the H doesn't use the brakes either, the ESP function will if it needs to correct though.
