[QUOTE="tonka, post: 6955006, member: 624216"] Well its the same reason that car manufactures dont put rev limiters on engins when they are in drive, or why alot of 4 or 5 speed vehicles dont have RPM Tachs on them. So that they break, but technicly it will only break if its being abused so then its not the manufacures fault. But they want the consumer to pay an "approved technician" to fix it, there for resulting in more money for the manufaturer. And if automotive isnt your thing, Think about this. Why did it take Microsoft so long to fix the "red ring of death" problem on the Xbox 360 eventhough it was common knowlage that the problem was caused by over heating? They knew it was a problem, so then they put out an opptional "intercooler" that you could BUY that would prevent this from happening (I hear it only slowed it down though). They marketed on this problem untill sails whent down, then they acctually fixed the problem. It all points to one thing. More money for the manufacturer. Sorry to go on a rant but this is just my 2 cents on the subject. [/QUOTE]
