I have had a few days to drive the car with the Wevo and it has softened up a little bit which is nice since it was very firm on the first test drive. Some interesting observations: my car is now drivable at low rpms, before it just was unpleasant under 3k rpms. Also I used to have this strange harmonic in sixth that kept me from using the gear unless I was doing about 80. I also had some weird vibes in downshifting. All of these issues have disappeared. When I mentioned some of the harmonics and vibes to the PO he attributed then to the SMFW. This fortunately is not the case. I am really enjoying getting to know the car in it's proper state instead of accepting things I did not like as part of the package.

This single repair will end up saving me about $5k in things I won't have to fix noww. Woohoo!
