shifts well. hasn't broken yet unlike previous getrags. you lose cruise control. short crisp throws, long awesome gears.

i suggest buying it from liberty enhanced if you can swing it its not much more but well worth it.

Is your 6th gear .5 or .67?

How many data points is that based on? Usually, it takes about 10-20 fill-ups to begin getting a really good, accurate idea of fuel mileage.

Lost cruise control? Not worth it for a DD IMO. Couldn't the new gt500 transmission work in place of the t56 and retain the factory CC?

Well, on a 2008, the cruise control still works, but only in 6th gear, with the 5 speed it worked in 4 & 5.

My '08 cruise would work in 3rd- you just had to be higher than a certain speed, I think 35-40 mph.
