Just curious, why would you drive 50 miles to go there when there are many near your home base? I PM you.

Not sure but sounds like you have the lever in forward position maybe 3/4 the way and then squeeze the lever? And if this is what you are saying then you will have a quick jerk. You should have it close to the center position when you start out. Without releasing the clutch move it to the speed you like. Yes, 1/2 to 1/2 plus. That is what I was saying in my first posts. I was saying why not design it the right way the first time. All it would of taken is another or added bleeder valve to send the pressure from zero to 100% in 1 to 2 seconds. and you could be at full open speed setting with a VERY smooth transition to speed if done right. That would completely fix the issue of "double handing" the speed on every turn. I have two short driveways and I am always turning 180 degs. What a totally illogical way of design. I am going to have to live with it and it will become a way of life like driving a clutched car. I am a guy who always looks at design and implementation of design into products. So this is a big time fail for my way of thinking. I know many of you are fine with it. Kind of like so many people are fine with plastic PC's, I want an Apple machined out of billet aluminum. I expected more of design polish then that tranny, it is incomplete and not fully thought out and implemented if you have to always pull back the speed lever before restarting. No need for people to get pissed off at me, it is my opinion and I feel I am right to expect a fully functioning tranny when paying high dollar from a premium manufacture. It is just so easy to see that "adding a step" that is a pain in the rear to start out makes zero sense. It seems you all have adapted as will I, but why should we have to add a step because of bad design?

I will get use to it. Just like all of you guys. I already cut in new gear notches into the shoot to get 230+ deg turning radius.
