Yes, it will help a LOT

I think Wayne's opinion may be biased, but mine's not. Yes it will help; there, a completely unbiased opinion.









Wayne, you know my paypal account...

BigD, it will help your flare problem by upping the pressure. Unfortunately tires don't last as long with the XCAL. Wayne you still owe me $1.79 for the last plug.

Jay,



From what I was told, the gasket is the cause of the problem in the solenoid. It disentegrates, and becomes clogged in the solenoid valve body jet, which causes the shifting problem. So yes, you do need to replace it. Couldn't tell you how hard it is to replace, as I had my Ford dealer fix it.
