Smile trannie

Depends on how you drive it. very easy - yes. Like I drive, NO! Third gear would not last a month.

You should buy a used 3550 or TKO or one of the new TKO 500.

I 2nd the gforce.

I never usually had a problem with 3rd. I always lost 2nd. If you are planning to do alot of high rpm shifts where you are slamming the gears (drag racing) it won't last long. If you are just going to drive it like a normal person on the road, it'll last a reasonable amount of time.

Astro A-5 is another good choice. Im looking for a G-Force or A-5 and have been reading some threads on these. Both seem good, have heard some better customer service from astro though.

Hi xracerbob,
Can you tell me more about your decision to sell the FFR and buy the ERA. I am considering both options. Your input would be invaluable.
Thanks
