By posting, especially something this mundane, you subject yourself to criticism. I've dropped a few engines, and i understand the feeling of accomplishment you get afterwards, which is why you took a video of the speedometer. To those who don't understand where you are coming from, it is a slow automatic maxima, therefore they hate on it. Your engine should pick up a bit over the next couple of weeks; try some seafoam and take it up on the highway a few times(in dry weather). Good luck

Seafoam is available at o'reilly's. Autozone should have it, just ask someone to point it out.

Dude dont wait to do the swap..

Your car will seriously haul @$$ with the swap and the bolt-ons.. you'll be absolutely astounded by the difference betwen the auto and the 5spd

My VE 5 with CAI, UDP, Y-pipe, Exedy, Fidanza, and GReddy absolutely hauls, and that's with over 170k miles and low compression in one cylinder

Do the swap mang

I have a really good auto (120K on it) I will sell cheap including brand new axles. of course it would cost a good bit to ship I would imagine...still $400 for a good trans and 2 brand new axles
