So I was an idiot when I installed it initially, too big of a hurry and no homework before hand and especially lack of attn to detail. All must be done before attempting this mod in the home garage :chuckle: . Spent an extra day chasing ghosts and ended up just redoing it the right way.

Now that THATS outta the way....OMG!!!! This is an amazing mod! It turns your car into a Jekyl and Hyde machine. When you drive it normal, thats how it acts, can barely tell anything was done to it. When you mash it, it'll snap yer neck, and that's in regular auto. When you put it into manual mode its a real monster. If my tires are cold, it'll actually get a second gear chirp. If I'm in a self induced drift "on a drift pad", it doesn't lose tire spin mid drift when shifting gears. Acceleration seems to be faster across the board and it has a more "positive feel" to it when pressin it to the floor. IMO this is one of the best mods I've done to my car. If you are looking to put that spark back into yer car relationship, I highly recommend it. :biggrin:

I installed a Transgo in my 97 Formula back in the day. Really woke up the car! Better get some better trans bushings now...I went through mine pretty quick after the mod!

If you decide to come to Reno,NV for any reason and you have the time, drop me a line and you are more than welcome to take it for a test drive to see if its a worthy investment for you. Fun times!!! Just remember that at 4,500 plus feet, the car may be a bit slower than what yer used too :gapteeth:
