Well, after a few threads and only a few possible answers, Traxxas has finally replied to my question and it solved my problem.
My original problem was this... It would shift into second gear at the correct time but wouldn't shift back down into first immediately. I would have to let the truck sit and then eventually it would shift into first once again.
Here is the e-mail to Traxxas:
"I've gone to many different forums looking for an answer and I have found nothing. When my T-Maxx reaches 2nd gear and I slow to a stop it takes a minute and sometimes more to shift back to 1st gear. I took the tranny apart and cleaned it, checked for signs of binding and found nothing. What can I do?
My model is about 2 and a half years old. I still have the TRX Pro .15 also. If that helps at all.
Thank you."

"Hello,
I do not know exactly why it is happening but it is related to your 4988 shift hub. It is possible that it is pressing too tightly against the one way bearing and maintaining a high RPM. Something must be driving the shift hub for the pawl to stay deployed. the pawl may be damaged or it may have a bur of some sort that prevents it from easily retracting.

This might help some people... maybe that guy with the problem where he thinks it's stuck in second gear.
Later.
I was thinking about the e-mail I received from Traxxas. The customer service guy stated that the shift hub could possibly be pushing too hard on the 'one-way bearing'. I'm not sure where the one way bearing within the transmission is. Any help on that would be great. lol
