You get it into 5th for me and then I'll demonstrate its not as strong in terms of applying drive or engine brakingQuote:

- Full flush at 80K Km with the timing belt + cooling system service.
for the manuals 40K km for the oil change
If theres any sign of contamination go straight to the 80K Km service interval
r380s can be uprated with with a kit from ashcroft

You can certainly select those gears with manual mode selected, and pull away in 3rd or 4th (it actually does a very quick I / III or I / IV ). Torque converter doesn't lockup in low range except on overrun.

I love them, the speed of the shift is so fast with a dog 'box, but agree it would be a pain when you are tired, etc. and it's easy to destroy dogs with ham fisted shifting, but you can do the same with synchro dogs too.
Quaife at one stage did make a dog change R380, as well as a six speed conversion but have dropped them now as they designed and built an R380 bolt in replacement for the off road race market.
