Same here. I've had an Allison (now Crane) unit on the GT6 for fifteen 
years now, with no problems.  I think some of the early failures that 
queered people on the Allison/Crane setup was that the main cable had 
more of a strain relief than a waterproof seal where it exited the case, 
and moisture may have been a cause.  When I installed mine, I forced 
some sealant into and around the cable and it's survived driving through 
some very bad flooding.  It can't cure other faults, such as bad rotors, 
but it's done yeoman service for a decade and a half.


Cheers.
