My only complaint is that I had to pay for it in the first place.

Why is that funny, chuck? Guy wanted an honest opinion and got one. You can definitely hear it, and the dealer verifed that is what was making the noise.

Did it work? Yes.

Shoot, think back to when the whole thing came about (last year) so many people were like:

"You're lugging your engine! Everybody should run their engine at 3K+ RPM in every gear all the time..."
"Stroker engines need a lot of RPM...you're lugging it!"
"If you want smooth, go buy a Honda!"
"Only a few people have the problem, it's not widespread! You guys are making this clatter thing up...."
"Stop complaining!"
etc etc.

Read the 07 tranny post...post after post of people picking on people who had the clatter problem. I can think ofmore than afew who were real a-holes about it.

Then the IDS comes out..... silence..... wha? where did all those guys (a-holes)go?

I'm enjoying the silence.... Finally...
