    Glad to hear more information coming out on these questions, thank you!

    Can you maybe give us some background on this, pros/cons? I read comments about this earlier making things quieter / less transmission whine. I'd also read that this was due to supply issues. I'd think that the 1.7 vs. 1.76 would also maybe mean less need for a super low pitch prop... maybe 0.06:1 difference isn't that impactful but I'm sure it helps a bit on the low end.

    Thanks, what I think many of us were hoping to hear! I understand calling things different names when they're somewhat different makes sense like Swell vs. Flow but it seems silly and question provoking on things like identical vinyl Not a big deal buy hey.

    You'll feel virtually no difference with the 1.7 vs 1.76 unless you're running the 550. The 1.5 change to 1.7 will give that engine more grunt. The change was due to a vendor change but if we didn't tell you that we changed it, I don't think anyone would've noticed. If you're worried about noise, I would recommend opting for the added optional sound deadening. It is standard on transmission cover though.

    Mobius, does the sound deadening apply to the Supra line as well? Standard around the transmission with option for more or does the Supra have the additional sound deadening standard?

    In my build I did yesterday, this was not a dealer option for the SA/SE. I can’t speak to the SL/SR as we didn’t play with those builds. From the SC dealer instructional videos sound deadening wasn’t mentioned in the Supra line.

    According to my dealer it is available in the Supra line. I’m just wondering if it’s just around the transmission like Moomba or if they include it standard in the other locations as well for Supra

    Do you have any pictures or videos of the what is added for sound deadening? I’m curious what is added and where. Also whether there is any data showing the db differences.

    I’ve done quite a bit of work on vehicles and my HT so just curious what materials are used and where. I assume you are using adhesive butyl damping mats similar to dynamat or noico? Not mass loaded vinyl (MLV) or other sound barriers.
