I actually got the car back yesterday, but due to the gears being new and due to some rainy weather I didn't "get on it" at all. I was still able to notice the gears shifting faster and felt the back of my head get up close and personal with the headrest.

Today the weather was dry so I got to drive it a little more. I still haven't been aggressive with the car, but even taking it easy, I can feel a definate difference. My BF Goodrich KDW2's break loose a lot easier now. If I still had stock tires on the car they would spin all day long. At 80 mph the rpm's only increased by about 200.
I haven't really done enough testing to see how the gas milage was affected. So far I'm happy with the gears. Lidio adjusted my SCT XCAL II and everything is working properly. They shop that installed the gears was reasonable and there is absolutely no whine at all.

These are just my preliminary observations at this point. Several fellow automatic owners had pm's me about the gears and wanted me to post something as soon as they were installed so here you go guys. I hope this helped. I'll add to the thread if anything changes good, bad, or otherwise.

Rob

$400.00 The guy was highly recommended and I had to wait two weeks before he could fit me in, but so far it was worth it. My local Ford dealership wanted $600-$700 just for the install.

Correct, an accident reconstructionist with a traffic unit. I drive a 2004 Durango of all things.

Mostly referred to that "DA** Durango Kid."
