Pretty damn easy to do. Easier than my long tube install. IF you are a bigger guy like me you are gonna hate installing the ****** pedals.

on the dragstrip autos are way better. The street is a different story though.

Your auto has to be set up right with a decent stall and good hard shifting.

I had everthing set up for that but i just cant get a transmission that will hold for some reason. I miss my stick lol

This would've been my 5th tranny if i put in another auto but i'll try a m6 i think it would be less trouble.
