Inkjunkie.. Why would I or anyone believe any of that.
For 1 I have and do use GV's, I have 3... I have never seen any other aftermarket piece so damned reliable.
Remember when YOU make a post with accusations, YOU will be the one questioned, can't deal with it, then DON'T post the bs..or second hand hearsay..
I have a gv behind a 510" indy headed 2 stg b base in a 4000 lb car... So in 10 years the A&A trans/dyn tc and GV have performed flawlessly....
Oh sob I haven't changed the GV fluid in 5 years... Talk about damned reliable..
Burned up..27's c'mon who are you using tci...
That is some mother goose post there inkjunkie...lol burn up trans because of hills... Yeah use the right Tc man.. See my boy Martin Saine at MSPerformance..
Bottom line is he asked about easier.. Not better..
So
1. Its not easier
2. Its not stronger
3. Its not cheaper
So to answer the OP's post..
It is not a direct bolt in, and its not easier or cheaper.
Easier is buying a set up dead gear and putting that in..
Next best thing and easy a GV..
. The gv unlike the 200 or 518 or 4l80 is that I works in every gear and is extremely versatile unlike all od trans..
