    that actually sounds like when the tranny in my cherokee went out on me, it was fine as long as i wasnt starting from a stop... then it just kept getting worse until i eventually lost reverse, and then the next day it wouldnt go into gear at all.

    have you tried taking off with the lever manually shifted down into first gear to see if there is a difference?

    Ya ur tranny is prolly ur downfall. Heck just talk to mike at 5star for tunes or rick (i think) at amazon tuning. When I get sum cash, mike is gonna redo my tune. And you might like the borla pro xs if you want a good sound but not as much drone, or borla xr1(louder). If you have lightning style exit, that can increase drone also.

    i think ima go back without them this next time. Loud exhaust are not my thing anymore and i think a good 3inch lightning style or dumped would do me fine. Pacesetters, high flows, and borla xr1 lightning style would do me fine.
