[QUOTE="ManInBrown, post: 4476311, member: 46614"] They look great, they are garbage. If you don’t randomly switch to manual and run in a lower gear once every 20-30 minutes on long haul runs the stack gets dirty and they break down. The problem with them is they are built for fuel economy so all the thing wants to do is race thru all the gears ASAP into 12th no matter how fast you’re going. So if you don’t pay attention you’ll be on the highway in 12th running at 900-1000rpms. That’s not a high enough RPM to clean the stack. They bog down, and then next thing you know you’re on the side of the road broke down. If you’re local that’s fine, enough starts and stops to run a little higher. [/QUOTE]
