I had a cc snafu, that I cleared up yesterday so I should be getting the parts next week. I wont install for like another month as I accumulate other parts.

I am going to use the stock TOB. Fingers crossed I dont have any problems.
I would have stayed stock on the TOB, but I already have the Mcleod TOB

I went with the Stock TOB and flywheel and it shifts considerably better than stock. Has a much lighter feel and a more accurate feel would be how I would describe it. The sweet spot feels alot more distict than the stocker and being a novice manual driver it allows me to perform much smoother and faster shifts than I could before.

Also I would definitely suggest giving it adequate time to break in before you bang on it. About a week ago I thought it was plenty broken in and I pushed it pretty hard and thought I might have broken it. Got it to about 5k in 1st and really didn't like that very much. Now its fine though and working smoothly.

Mcleod said 350 to 500 miles of alot of shifting, maybe I will wait 750 before going to the track

Ya 750 at the minimum for track you use just to be safe. I think I'm at about 300ish myself at the moment and around 250 or so is when it really started to break in well. I also do a lot of shifting being that I do almost all city driving so that made the break in period go a little faster.

The shop did not get started on it until late yesterday, as of 10am this morning they are still working on it, I am going to call them back in a few hours. The dealership is extremely busy with the other 3 ford dealerships in the area closing.

No its not finished and won't be until Tuesday because the mechanic that is working on it is off Sunday/Monday. I don't want someone else to finish what he started, he is the mechanic that always works on my car. So at this point I am going to wait until he returns. To be honest I think they just got started on it.
