I spoke with a factory rep at a show and he told me the alignment is critical, as Patrick has said.

The spec given on alignment is to assure the transmission will not be damaged avoiding warranty issues. For better shifting cut the spec in half.

Liberty upgrade will give you the best shifts. If I were going to race it, I would go with that for certain, and no matter what alignment is critical.

If it is a street car, ask yourself how fast and hard are you going to shift it. If a perfect fast shift is very important to you, then do the upgrade now.
