You sir are correct but what happen was I hit a bump and the car only does that if it feels wheel spin because the emu can't communicate gassy enough lOok at my other video of 2nd and 3rd you will see what I'm talking about

Well I picked up the transmission and hour later and it was on then little things to fix
Anyways I'm sure you wanna know my reviews, well I love it, I feel its the best 350 I spent on my car in over a year, some of you guys pay that much just for a clutch this is def a nice trans to have altough I do suggest for boosted aplications only unless u want your n.a tc to be a tad slower just to have great gas mileage
The gas mileage has def rose but with the longer gearing also came the issue of loosing some acceleration in the mid range the 0-60 is nice but say a 40 roll car doesn't really show its prime till about 75mph or so when the gearing is stretched and car is sitting at 5k boosting
It also requires changing of driving habits as gear changes occour differently

Hey Borderguy are you Sean's buddy? I work with him and he's always telling me about your car lol. Name's Emory, I have a black turboed tC with Gram Lights. I'm def. considering this trans swap. Let me know how you like it. Gonna try and do it this winter/spring. Good Luck with the setup, interested to see how the trans holds up.

40 rolls are second gear territory with the E351 - just kinda high in 2nd gear unless youre running a 25.5-26" tall tire. When I was running my ET Streets (26" tall) I was right around 4300-4400rpm in 2nd at 40. With a 225/45/17 like most are running you'd be around 4600-4700rpm at 40 in 2nd - pretty much perfect for a big turbo Just gotta have the 7k+ rev limit
