After years of thinking about an overdrive and which one to get I opted for the Gear Vendor. I always had a TH-400 in the car and I always liked it. Only reason I wanted an Overdrive is when I am driving the car and going 55 or faster it's loud and I don't like her taching up for a long period of time. So here are some things if your interested in the install and how it has gone so far. The install is not as straight forward as I thought. Just more wiring than I realized. Nothing bad I also bought a G-Force cross-member that is "Supposed" to be made for the TH-400 and the gear Vendor unit - Model: RCAE-GV I have read so many posts about the trouble with the GV fitting and the Tunnel having to be Massaged or cut to get the unit to fit. I did not have to do that. No adjustments made to tunnel, don’t know if it is because of the G-force cross member I bought. . - Removed Driveshaft - Took off Tail of transmission. - Placed jack under trans and Removed the Stock cross member. - Installed the G/V adapter and just snugged mounting bolts. - Then installed new cross member and trans mount for test fitment. - Used templates provided by G/V (Paper cut outs we transferred to cardboard) to check clearance in tunnel. No issue not needing any massaging or cutting.. - Input shaft extension in adapter – checked clearance and added appropriate shims. ( Didn’t Know about this – sounds worse that it was) - Installed the G/V unit and it fit and bolted in without any trouble. Just a little hard to get to bolts on top. - There are two LED’s red and green along with a thumb switch to turn the drive on and off you need to install in the car . - There is also the Shifting Switch , just like the Headlight - bright switch but taller that gets installed. Still need to wire the Module and get the driveshaft length figured out. I wont be able to use the X-pipe any longer.. Her are some pics

At long last that is very good news for sure!! finally someone is thinking of us...now if they can just convince them to try fenders...yea right!!
