Yup, its been great so far, no problems at all other than the "standard"
neutral gear rattle (sounds like a bunch of loose bolts in the tranny at
idle with the clutch out). My Getrag 6 speed did the same thing, so it
seems to be something with the 6 speeds...

I think they use the first couple of gears to give them the awsome 0-60
times. Its damn near impossible to run 0-60 in the low 4s if you have to
hit 3rd...
> Thanks for the info! PS: what's a half-shaft?
Half shaft is one half of the rear driveshaft. The Viper has independent
rear suspension, so there is a half shaft going from the rear end to
each wheel. On the Vipers these tend to twist and break when used with
slicks at the track...
