Re: Vehicle Recovery in Reverse Gear?
Do they actually break often when run opposite or is it just they break
when extracting and usually the extraction is done in reverse so it
seems that way?

Re: Vehicle Recovery in Reverse Gear?
The R&P gears just have a much bigger chance of breaking when you're trying
to retrieve a stuck vehicle if you are also in Reverse.
Before I knew about this problem, I was attempting to extract a stuck
vehicle 6-7 years ago while my TJ was in in Reverse. He was really stuck
and I was really trying, using momentum and a ******-strap in an effort to
un-stick him. All of a sudden, several guys ran up to me and hollered to
stop doing it as I was doing and to turn around. One of them was an axle
guy and explained the issue. I've since had that confirmed by other
4x4-oriented R&P techs and others who know far more than I. :)

Hi Mike,
You may see why, just by looking at the teeth, one way the gears
just push on a flat surface like the stairs we climb, the other way,
half the energy of the bearing are devoted to just hanging on:
