My drive is on the way back from IMCO I threw a blade into my case. I ask them to check it all out while they had it I also ask about my shifting and was told it was the cable??? I was told they did change the shift cam. BUT I must say... I do think they were very reasonable and fast on replacing the case and prop shaft (Great Customer Service).

Thats good to know. I'm not expecting any problems.

yes it has the new style cable

Are you still considering the new SCX? Are yours still for sale? Will be interesting to see what IMCO does about your issues.

Got my drive back today looks great. Got a new Manuel with it. The only thing different I could find is this cable warning sheet was in with the Warning... Please read carefully . Now my question is…is there a different cable for left and right hand rotation??? If not... I am taking it that the RH rotation is ok with the shoulder on the cable. I will check my cable tomorrow to see if mine has a shoulder on not on it. My drive is RH (confused agene).

Rh rotation still could be a problem in reverse.

Got the drive back in ...my cable does have the shoulder on it. Fire it up on the hose and it shift so smooth and easy now (WOW). Not sure if it's the Torco oil or what work IMCO did to it or both. I am a happy camper.

I'm considering buying an SCX/SCX. So I read this thread with great interest. Whats up with the porous lower cases? Has anyone figured out the proper recommended fill procedure?

Per IMCO, how I did it, and it is working great.
Fill drive from the bottom to the vent screw. Fill reservoir to mark. Run it and recheck reservoir level.

Ok, sounds great. What about the porous lower cases and leaking seals? Since this drive costs 15k I would think that they would have sorted that out before hitting the market
