The price is high and the gear split could have been better. I think if it was half that price it would sell better.

But I guess they have to pay for R&D. At least someone is thinking out of the box. But I wish they would have invested money in make a standalone system for the 6l80/90 ready today.

Way over priced for the ratio splits. 6L80E/90E are much better. They will be available soon.

Its not worth 6k that is for sure. I looked at it again, and I am not sure it comes with a convertor. You would want to run something else anyways. A 6 spd auto would be really nice though

The paddle shifter is only used if you want to manually shift it.

How much are they saying the total kit would cost? I love my Manual, but I live in a smaller town and shifting all the time from light to light and stop sign to stop sign is starting to be a pain in the ***. But I do not want to convert over to an A4 either. So this would be nice.


Edit: NVM My dumb *** just needed to click the link. And I just seen the specs on it...I think ill pass for now
