This is a look at the interior and the PCS electronic shifter console, paddle shifters and gear vendors buttons. I take a drive and describe how these components work to together to shift the car through all six gears with the gear vendors unit.

Thanks for this video. I’ve been on the fence on purchasing the gear vendors overdrive for my 67 GTO. I’ve got the same 3.73 gears on a freshly built 455. When I started restoring this car I had 4.56 gears. That was 27 years ago. Now after the third motor. I just want to cruise with no worries of straining the motor. The difference in RPM drop is great. And seeing in your video you going above 80 mph with ease was unheard of for me. Thanks.

Ok, Deez it is done! I have an ididit steering column on order with ignition delete. I decided to go with the Digital Dawg iKey Premier PKE system with remote start. Its not perfect yet, but getting there. I created a test video. Check it out when you have time. I installed the push button in the Lighter hole for now. Interior upgrade coming next year. Please stop spending my money! :) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oc6HiNyc0b6nop8.html

I have a 1971 convertible impala gonna be running 26’ wheels on it equipped with a 454 & a TCI th400 (street fighter) I wanna put the gear vendor unit behind it. Is it still holding up good for you? Do you have any suggestions for me ? Thanks in advance

Yes, I still recommend it. The customer support is preety good and when I switched my tranny I deiscovered that I acutally had a TH375 with 9" tail. I ordered the TH400 TCI Streetfighter and it usually comes with a 4" tail, but I requested the 9" tail. The output shaft was much larger in diameter. So, I had to call GV and get some adapters to make it work with the long tail and big shaft. They basically built a piece for me that I needed. I did pick up a vibration that I did not have before and this seems to only be there when the GV is activated. I think the muffler shop removed my driveshft and likely did not get it set back in the same position. So, I need to rotate the shaft a few times and straighten that out. That is the only issue I have had. Its nice cruising at 75mph at 2700rpm :) with 3.73 gears and i still have hole shot speed.

Good afternoon I have questions for you I have a 1973 impala with a 454 equipped with a 400th and 3.73 gears on 26in tires I got on the highway and I can not get over 65. Any suggestions on what I should check or change but I gotta keep the 26in rims lol

If you go to 3:42 gears you will gain more speed. Go to speed tire rpm calculation

American Classic Torq Thrust AR105 17" rims 8" wide with 0 deg offset. I had to roll the fenders for fitment, and that turned out great. SC&C suspension corrected geometry but it lowered the car by about 1.5". Tires are tucked and the stance is wicked. The tires are the popular street rod tires in stagger formation, Nitto NT555 G2 275/50R17 (27.9") rear and 225/50R17 (25.9") Front.

how do you like it at W.O.T splitting the gears? and how much rpm does it drop in O.D lotta people saying only 400 rpm?

I still love the GV. I am much better at splitting gears now compared to when I first started. There is a .75s delay in the shift down, so timing it right is important. I activate the manual switch when I am about 500rpm less than my target shift. So, if I want to shift at the higher range of my power band I press the switch at 5200rpm and it will actually engage around 5700rpm. My rev limiter is set at 6200rpm. I feel like the GV charts are acurate at estimating the rpm drop in OD. There are several factors that determine your benefit. I have 3.73 posi gears with 27" rear tires. I will drop 800rpm. In the video around 7:45 I demonstrate this. I did not cheat. I dropped from 3500rpm in 3rd at 75mph to 2700rpm in 3rd over. It was worth every penny and I would still make this purchase again. I rank this upgrade up there with my SC&C suspension package.

@@scottcerreta1724 800 rpm is a great improvement. i need to go to 4.11 from factory 3.73 and my engine is super efficient at 27-2800 rpm, so I'm aiming for 2700@ 60 with my 4000 converter, thank you for the info and that's a sweet ride you got there
