Overdrive Transmission Question

Ok. It's been a year or longer since I looked. Still $2800 is a bunch of money. Figure extra's like fluid and getting the driveshaft shortened and your over $3000. My point was you'd have to do a bunch of driving to save $3000 on fuel. Don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking it at all cause it's a great product and makes the car drive much better I'm sure. Just saying it's not cheap at all and it'd be hard to save anything going to it unless you drive a lot and plan on keeping the car for several yrs.

I can do better than that on a gv, and shortening a shaft is $75 pretty much everywhere.


If you're looking to really save fuel, a Gear Vendors isn't the best way to go. If you've got a rareish car that you don't want to cut up, then go for it. Otherwise, go for the 500/518, a better overdrive and you get lock up.


How do you figure, the gv can engage in 1st, which is already now overdriving 2nd and 3rd, saving more fuel than the 500 and there is no locking unlocking and hunting with the gv like there is with a 500.... the 500 only works after 3rd, the gv can be switched on and start lowering the work performed way earlier than the 500

I have a few gv's and a few 500 and 518's, the gv's can pay for themselves in less than a year. . .

The GV can be removed and used in another car when you sell the one it's in or just want to put it in something else.
