This way you can see if the problem is the tipical bracking issue of the mgm that doesn't do allways.
If your tests with the motor out the car run smoth all the time without reversing, or instant braking.. then try with tne motor on the car and shim diffs perfectly.
let us know about the tests.

I have pulled the motor and tried to duplicate the problem or make it do anything out of the ordinary with no success. I can't duplicate it or make the motor do anything wierd.

Today we drove this mugen Mbx5t i mentioned above (MGM 16018, Neu 1515/1y) and this time we noticed a clear mecanical noise (for a split second) when we went from top speed to neutral. After checking the diff we saw that the pinion gear was completely worn out (back diff) and the front one didn't look much better either. After replacing those parts i will post our findings.
The test proteinas suggested seems the best way to rule the diffs out of the equation.

I'm gonna pull the diffs again, I'm not sure what else to do. We'll see how well I had it shimmed.

I changed the neutral deadband to 15% and even went so far as increasing the neutral deadband on radio to 8% (4% forward and 4% backward)
And yes, freewheel is enabled.
Tell me about the reverse glitch... is this a common problem? Not only is it tough on the drivetrain, sometimes it locks down and god forbid you're on the pavement, the truck is going tumbling....
