F/R switch... There is a new design now. The switch will have an s on the side of the new ones. They put a piece of steel shaft in the center of the thumb lever. Should take care of most problems. They still wear out though. The drivers need to be a little conservative and they will last longer. I know the old ones could be slammed but those days are gone. I guess the new ones are for the driver in his place of zen.

Fact of the week
The two internal cavities in our nose called nostrils function as separate organs. Each nostril has its own set of turbinates and olfactory receptors. The two independent organs work together through a mechanism called the nasal cycle, where one nostril is dominant for air intake while the other rests and is better at detecting scents.
