i think it's a long shot that the reflash would be like an ESK...hearing that they'll be having a different reflash for the auto makes me a little bit more worried..trd went the "safe" route for the reflash of the 5spd..i think its gonna be even safer for the auto meaning less power.....but hey there's always hope

the auto fit kit will be realesed sooner than later.
the wait isnt on the bracket, they have to develop a different reflash program for the auto, different from manual...
they said that the last time on one of the other S/C threads that once was alive...

oh no, i didnt want to imply that there were problems, just that the reflash program is what the hold up is about, not just the bracket. i wasnt aware, well, i guess i didnt think about it, about the auto needing a different reflash program. but i was posting the info incase others werent aware of this, like me. but the delay is due to the program, but he didnt say they were having problems.

and even if it partialy changed the tranny's shift characteristics, like a mild esk, we should be so blessed!

you heard from TRD that it is the programming of the reflash that is keeping the fit kit from coming out??

if the supercharger creates less power than the manual, then i will have some serious thoughts, 175 whp is low enough for 3500. we can hope, but the first person to get this is OBLIGATED to dyno within the first week, OR ELSE!

hmmm well another dissapointment, but maybe not. Didnt receive it today like I had planned, got only my cf dash kit. Called mcgeorge to find out whats up and they said I had to call back tomorrow before 4 EST cause the guys that deal with shipping leave then or whatever. So I will call tomorrow and see whats up with it, hopefully they can give some insite. I just hope I didnt get mine or others hopes up too much

dude, i called mcgeorge like everyweek asking about the fit kit. they have it for sale on their site but when i asked about it they said it hasnt been released yet and they dont know when it will be. i know trdsparks advertises it but states that it has yet to be released. mcgeorge just has it out for sale thats why i inquired about it. good luck though..hopefully you do receive it so the rest of us can order ours too
