gr8gatzby Posted May 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 now having driven her for a full day, i don't even recognize her. my teeth don't shatter from the reverb everytime i hit a small bump in the road, the car actually hauls assssssss now...the software update i'm guessing + new ETM perhaps. the tranny rebuild is amazing, crisp shifts is a first for me.Aamco is the shizznizzle. Polite, respectful, prompt; they actually admitted to making a mistake and then fixed it on the spot(loose bolt in the strut mount causing clunking)! i must say, that's never happend before. the new tranny rebuild is warrantied for 36k mi, as well.only downside is MPG appears to have taken a hit. my average all day is 18.5 in 70/30 city/hwy. hopefully this remedies itself with time.
