Well, shifting is as smooth as butter. I did not get the RPM's too high but I can tell you at 4k it's as smooth as at 1,000 rpm. Took a little getting use to going into 5th but that was no big deal. Speed shifting is unreal!! The reverse lockout spring I swapped out from the OEM, works GREAT. Mustang should have had this from day one, I love it!!

This makes the 3650 look like a POS. Is it big $$, yes, is it worth every dime, you bet!!!!

Out of the car it's cake, took me 15 min. You can get the spring from two place which I have listed below.

Core Shifters
