mine locked as i chopped the throttle and used the front brake right at the time the rear tyre hit a bump all whilst in second gear.If your not pushing a bit its no problem.Definately noticeable downhill shifting from 3rd to 2nd whilst under heavy braking.The potential is there in the right circumstances.Even with no welded clutch,heavier spring resist the clutch plate separation that occurs when engine and wheelspeed aren,t matched and the back torque limiter slides up its ramps and separates the friction plates when slowing down.Its generally far better under 90% circumstances.Just don,t kick down to 2nd gear for 35k corners unless the road is smooth and you do it early.I just crossed the line between onroad 6/10 and track9/10.
