"The gearbox is fitted with a braking device which provides smoother gear-changing when reverse is selected. The device comprises a spring mounted on the gear selector rod. When reverse gear is selected, the spring applies a light pressure to the gear shift fork for the 1st and 2nd gears, whereupon a breaking effect on the gear is achieved by means of the 1st gear synchromesh sleeve."
Like I said, it was a nice idea, but they learned better for the 9000. It may actually have worked when the transmisison was new. But it sure doesn't work on any that I've owned.
