I also thought about a $L80E but to find a rebuilt one, and buy a converter, and then get a controller, it seems to end about the same price. And the Gear Vendors seem like it would be less work to install. What have you used, and are you happy with it?
Mikes Answer to this: Go for the Gear Vendors. My car came with it as part of the purchase so I paid for It one way or the other. I can cruise at 3,000 RPM at 80 MPH on 15' Rims on the High- way with the GV on. Off, your down 500 Rpm and better Off slowing down. I use the TH 400 Automatic with a B+M Shift kit and shifter add the GV button on the shifter Grip. Mike Out. P.S. Gear Vendors has a fine screen in it and it needs to stay clear and DON'T use Synthetic on a street application. Also, I run 3.23 Gears in the Rear End.
