I am going through a transmission. First gear is supposed to have only 1 brake band. All other gears have 2 brake bands. Upon inspection, I find that my first gear is setup the same as all the other gears. It has 2 brake bands and the same stop blocks as the other gears. I really don't understand why Porsche did first different except to save money on 1 brake band. I do understand that synchronization is on the down shift and two may not be needed. Question is, should this matter? Is there some advantage to the way first was setup by Porsche?
