Acceleration is the most noticeable improvement, the car really wakes up, and is much more responsive.
This is my personal opinion, but i hoesntly believe its one of the most effective - cheap mods you can do on an mv6
yes...this is what i'm looking for...
my opinion is that standard gear ratio setup is to high...it is great for autobahn, because 100+mph accelerations are great. but, if you live outside of germany, this feature isn't that useful, because of all the speed limits on motor ways and civil cop cars.
on the other hand, the car is rather lazy in urban driving (sub 40 mph) and sometimes not up to a challenge of beating boy racer cars.
my previous car, 2.5 v6, was an automatic (4.22 diff). when the gearbox died, we put the manual one in, but kept the auto diff. Accelerations were astonishing, with great flexibility, especially in lower speeds.
i'm certainly going to fit either a 3.9 or 4.22 diff. i know i will lose some top speed, but i am not using it anyway, because of all the civil police interceptors cruising the motor ways just waiting for somebody driving 100+ mph. and i will gain acceleration, and that makes me happy
do you have a 0-60mph figure? with what diff fitted?
