Well, I just installed it. Only cost me 3 busted knuckles from the cheesy-ass Ford scissor jack.

I got a little worried when mine required no twisting at all. It just fell right out. The same when I put the new one in.

But, so far, it seems to have made an incredible improvement. I took a quick spin around the block. I could make it do a hard drop, but it was significantly less jarring than before, and didn't do it almost every time from 1-2 like it used to.

Shifting was very smooth 1, 2, 3. And there even seemed to be a little bit better improvement in the shifting times, and sound (if that makes any sense). And, it may be my imagination, but it seemed to be a little quicker on the response.
