I finally got my 3.73's done. I dropped it off on Monday and got it this afternoon, here's my impression so far....
After just a little driving I know I'm going to like these, a lot!! I have to go easy for the break in but I do know that it will launch a lot harder for sure. I finally have a usable 6 speed manual. All the gears will now be usable. Before I drove it like a 4 speed, I would put it in 5 or 6th gear and there was no power, now driving in 5th there is some power at the pedal.
I could see how some people wouldn't like these gears. If I had an automatic I don't think I would like them either. The RPM range is much higher and might make you a little crazy if you have an exhaust that drones. For the manual it's great. So far I really like the gear choice.
I think you said that until something like this is done you don't know whether you would like it or not...now I understand. I do like it but I can see why you might not.
Invoice on my swap at Steeda shows Ford Motorcraft gear oil used, still going back this Wednesday to have them swap the motorcraft to 75w140 royal purple, if I would have done some research before, I would have just brought in the gear oil to begin with and have them use that.
Thanks. Its a place here in Temecula called Dyno Trans. The owners name is Steve, hes a good dude. He has a great company as well, very professional and they did a great job!! Oh yeah it cost 400.00.
In with the 75-140....originally he told me 60.00...he said ...hey just give me 50.00. Used Mobil 1. Car will really get it for a v6. Lol...no more babying it.
