Sorry to hijack here but...

Was looking to spend just over 1200 for a nitrous kit, just waiting for the sponsor to give me a breakdown on the parts and I am ready to order.

My trans feels "notchy" between gears and I'm not sure if that's because I'm used to DD'ing a civic and just got the SS back on the road or if it's an indication of a problem.

Better to run it until it breaks or spend the nitrous money for a rebuild? Could the rebuild price double if something lets go?

I apologize to the OP, had a beer or five and I owe ya one if this is rude of me

just take that nitrous money to xtreme transmission and get a built trans, then you can run all the nitrous you want and wont have to worry about your trans taking a ****
