It's possible it's not the B2, but here's the best article I know of on the subject:

Thanks Mark,
I'll look up the details on the b2 symptoms, and talk to my guy.
I doubt the b2 has been replaced, yet when I asked if my earlier
problems were related to b2 at the time, the guy said no.
If I remember correctly, the b2 deals with the 1-2 shift, and other
parts deal with the 2-3, 3-4 shifts
