This is a mod that anyone with an auto should get. It changes the whole personality of the car and make it more efficient.

When you stomp the pedal, at any speed, the downshift is crisp, no waiting. Upshifts come when they are supposed to and are also instantaneous. My stock tranny would wait at least 3-4 seconds before shifting into the next gear. That might not sound like alot, but when you've got a V8 Mustang right next door, it seems like an eternity. The ungodly noise of the engine free-revving at WOT while the tranny stops scratching it's head and chooses the next gear is gone also. Now the car shifts as quickly as it takes to snap your fingers, literally. I doubt that you could shift a 5spd any faster.

Don has also stated that it will prolong the life of your tranny. I wish I had done it before my tranny died. IMO, if you drive your car hard, even if you have no performance oriented mods, you should get this mod before anything else.

Today is the last day of the group deal. You could actually pay less for the VB than I did if enough people get on board.
