Hopefully this weekend as it's in my Dads car and he had to take my Mom on a seven day cruse to Alaska, you know the old saying....Happy wife = Happy life and that means more car parts

Well, we finally got a chance to drive the car and wow what a difference the new gearbox made. Runs quiet and shifts perfectly. (did lose some of its model A charm no longer having that second gear straight cut gear whine though

) Put it in overdrive and the rpm's drop right where they need to be.
Dave's kit is well thought out, fits, and a great addition for a car that you want to really drive
