A question to ask when considering a GV is "Can the gears be split PROGRESSIVLY"?
I've asked this question lots & GV dances around the answer.
Yes it will "Split" the gears, but if it won't split them "PROGRESSIVLY" then all you're adding is an OD box that will go from direct to OD & back again.
Also remember that the GV box is very small & uses it's own lube reservoir, not the trans lube & there's no way to cool it.
Not bashing GV units but it's a lot of $$$ to spend & not know the answers.
