Soooo, even tho it's to late and I am committed anyway, how do you like yours... and was it a manual before the auto conversion or have you only driven it with an auto?
I bought the patrol, already converted with the 6.5l Brunswick, and it had a manual gearbox. When you took off, you were lucky if you got 20m before you had to change in to 2nd gear! I felt like I wanted to take off in 2nd but didn't want to do any damage.

I got Brunswick to fit the new 4L80E auto for me and I farkin love it! It is a fully electronic and programmable gearbox and the only issue I have is that the rev ratio/ change rate in 1st gear still hasn't been smoothed out. As it is programmable, and I have the manual to read up on how to do it, it is now jaut a case of me getting off my butt and sorting it out. (Hopefully.)

IMO... it's still way better than the manual gearbox!
