That sounds cool, but I'd probably never buy one.

I didn't make 5k KMs, I'd buy an upgrade instead of an OEM replacement if it was out there.

I had a bit of wheel hop, maybe three or four times when I first learning how to launch it. It's got screeching and grinding going on, so it's not going back in, new housing or not

Um...I have done RETARDED things with the F23.

Worked like a charm too.

The F35...has...a learning curve to it...it is the most finnicky tranny I have ever played with...

God that was terrible...

I had it in my old Balt.

Apparently you do more retarded things than I did.

But that thing is easier to drive than the 35....BY FAR.

It would have to be new parts. My guess is about $500 for those 2 parts. I can get you an exact price this week.
