That is why guys are looking for aftermarket setups, the power gearbox are the limitation on the mopars, the firm feel is just that, a firmed up feel, still has that on center sloppy feel to it , Had a "stage 3 box" and that was my impression, better that stock , but that isn't saying much . The only gearbox setup I have personally been behind the wheel that felt decent was the 90's IROC,WS6 etc , they had a firm quick ratio 12.7 box that could pass as a rack and pinion setup. The gearboxes are a thing of the past , all your new cars have a rack and pinion setup in them for a reason, even the 1500 ram trucks are r & pinion.
