Makes me want to go out and try mine.
We have not been to Colorado or Utah in our new 2016 Axis ..
I told Ron about this thread .. he has spent several hours under our Axis..
he sez the transmission has 4-5 joints .. he does not anticipate any problems with it in comparison to the 5 speed on our previous 2, e350 chassis. He certainly put those Class b & b+ motorhomes through the paces in the Colorado & Utah mountains. He does not expect anything less from this transmission.
