Not bad.im used to modernish cars feeling like it shifted gears when the ac kicks in.

Random question for anyone - i know your supposed to pull a vacuum on the system to properly recharge the ac system. If you dont and just use the refrigerant cans to add enough does that affect how hard the ac system kicks in?
