As far as Z tranny, yes that was my one big beef. I got tired of it being labeled as "normal". The rattling, the sound of marbles, etc..... The 5.0 tranny is smooth but not without faults. It was a little vague, though short shifting. The MGW I did resolved all that.

Let me know how your test drive goes. And yes I would have LOVED to keep both cars in the stable... but I could not, since I am not so financially inclined as you may be. But yes, you will have the best of both worlds!!!

I wouldn't be testing it out until late summer at the earliest, maybe even later than that since I'm trying to buy a new house. New house or 5.0....hmmm

My tranny rattles only in first mostly; especially when you let off gas while in first. What bothers me more is the "sensitive" aspect. It's not very forgiving and a bit hard to figure out at first.
