Spec 3 would be nice, but my wallet isn't allowing it now - not to menion my car isn't even drivable, so I needed something ASAP.

After that incident, the pedal just sank to the floor, and I had to pull it up. Even sitting there revving it caused it to slip severly and start smoking. When I drove it home, and I'd stop and start again, it'd slip really bad and smoke and smell. Accelerating in 5th and 6th caused even more slip.
So it's grabbing, but it's just not too safe to be driving because who knows when it's just going to let me sit.
