Isn't that why it tends to be more "crunchy"?
Yep, that's my understanding. Ya got three gears playing in reverse mode, one gear on the counter shaft and one gear on the output shaft and a little gear running around in between trying to hook them up. So, everybody has to hold still for a moment before the output shaft starts to go the other way around ...... or something like that .....
