yes, before rebuild It felt like I am towing a tractor.. now it goes way better than before. I have noticed some power gains in 5th gear at around 2400 rpm's to ~3000 rpm's I don't usually rev past that.. So in 5th around 2400 rpms while doing about 64 mph it takes about 2.5 seconds to accelerate to 74 mph.
I don't know if that is like it supposed to be or not, Maybe somebody can test that I have noticed that there barely is smoke behind me when I accelerate,
The only odd thing is some smoke when I floor it in 3rd gear, but I can fell that it accelerates faster comparing to other gears on full throttle...

One of the best thing is.. before rebuild Average mpg was 42.2 now it is 45.6 and still going up..
And when I accelerate I like the way reflection from side mirror moves more to the ground.. feels like I am in bmw or in other rear wheel drive car
