G3 Transmission....


I believe the reason the G3 transmission doesn't seem as good as the later one's is the G4 and later models have a Centering Spring in the handle mechanism that keeps the transmission from running off on you. I have put a centering spring in a G3 before so if you have one, you can make it drive better. The spring returns the handle back to a neutral position when you stop pushing or pulling on it. I don't know of any other transmission design changes in the models after the G3 so I can't speak to whether the centering spring was the only improvement. Also, I am pretty sure the G5 was when they introduced the fan that had the plastic material designed by Nasa. It was supposedly much stronger so if you sucked up coins or other hard objects, the fan wouldn't break as easy.
