OK, but you said it has the 5AT. I dont think that was available until the 2004 model. Not trying to correct you or anything, just was wondering.

My install date for the Valve body will be next Friday. I am in Vegas for part of the week so I had to put it off till then.

I will keep you posted on the result.

You're right, and I have a 4spd now that I think of it.

I'm not sure when the 5AT became available, sometime during the 5th Gen period.

Sorry, this is what happens when you're parting the car out

They were ready for me, but I had to cancel due to travel for a funeral. I just did not have the time to take it to the shop. I will let you know when I have it done...

Just a note that the 5AT was not available until the 6th Gen

I am picking up my G35 Coupe A/T w/the valve body upgrade from Stillen this Saturday and will be driving it back home to Vegas. I will let you guys know how she drives with the upgrade.

The valve body works very well.It doesn't shift like an SMG M3 but it does make a huge difference.I've had it on for over a year with no problems.
