    New Member, New M52A2 Owner Questions

    Normally there are a set of air valves on the transmission that shift the two sprag units inside the transmission, those valves were problematic at times, my guess is that the PO had a problem with the tranny mounted set and jury rigged a dash mounted switch. A sprag is an "overrunning clutch"...
