Thanks for that, I look forward to hearing more as you become more familiar with it, but this is making me happy about saving my nickels.

They never sounded bad, they were just a bit loud. These have a different tone with the fabspeed cats.

his reputation aside. that is a lousy and unacceptable answer ( or would be to me ) from someone that just took 10 grand from you for a trans repair/refresh. but, whatever.

if he ( or anyone ) put a *rebuilt* m96g50 in a car that never had second gear popout, and it suddenly materialized? chances/odds are good, it was shimmed incorrectly. ten grand for "unlikely"? whew.
