    I recent did the 4.10 gear swap in my '96 Cobra Vert. An had a horrible harmonic vibration after. I was a little skeptical with throwing 300 bucks at a hope fix. but now my vibration is GONE and the engine seems to rev a little more free now. Great product/fast shipping/ good buy.

    I only purchased this because after my 4:10 gear swap I had a nasty vibration at the top of 4th gear/end of the quarter mile due to the factory shaft. Right out of the box it had the marks left on the shaft showing the balance was checked. 15 minutes later smooth riding to 120 and beyond(at the track only). Very satisfied.

    Pleased with it for the most part. Noticeably improved acceleration. Especially above 3500RPMs. Cleared up about 90% of drive train vibration. Noticeable improvement overall, just not drastic. Just wish it wasn't such a pricey mod.
