Well I just got back from the mechanics. First the 3.73 gears and 31 spline build is awesome no whine, noise. chatter etc. It works great and the extra grunt down low is nice. 5th pulls better when cruising on the freeway. A final install cost of 323 is a great price. Now I should have eliminated the one wheel peal I had. I have a total of 800 invested. One of my favorite mods.
yeah the diff between an auto w/ gears and a stick are pretty stated. Tho having an auto sux ass and i wish i coulda found a stick in my area that wasnt thrashed, having gears and being in 3rd while punching it and having the tires break loose after this slams into 2nd is a nice feeling.
