for an automatic, i could see this as a concern.. i have a clutch i can depress to free it up. i am interested in seeing /feeling the torque of this monster though

Awesome.... you will probably be able to get outside of the vehicle and walk next to it while it idles up stuff...



I hope the rest of the drivelines are up to the task...

they recommended it just for that reason... there are some clearancing issues to fit the atlas. without actually field testing this thing, i will speak very highly of it.. this thing is a BRUTE!

OK, that sounds better. Last I heard, they wanted close to $500 for the part to fit my '03, and I was thinking if I still had to finish the job after paying that much, then I would just do it myself. I still think I will just do it myself. Be a good project one of these long weekends......

well, i have it all in and driving now. it seems to have no problems at all thus far. i cant wait to put this thing in the ROCKS! it is extremely low geared, which will take some getting used to, but i think i'm going to like it.
the extra few inches that the atlas gains for the rear drive shaft is awesome! i dont forsee any driveline binding, or vibrations, even with the nth degree tummy tucker.
i will update again after i put it on the trail.
