February 20, 201115 yr comment_504534 Its only a few hundred revs at 100kph, but it is very worthwhile, knocking it from 3500 back to just over 3000 on my auto diff. If you come to a hill dropping it down to 4th at 3000rpm usually runs it over the hill without dropping any more speed. I'd like the manual's 4.1 instead of the auto's 4.3, but this diff is in great condition so I can't justify the cost of changing it. Every KE70 should have had one! Report
