Default I didn't notice much of a difference...

Below is the link to the post I made when I put on my Autospeed TSB (arguably the same thing as your AWE DTS). At the bottom I said I noticed less stick wobble and crisper shifting, etc.

Default OK - I was merely polling the general consensus for some quick answers from what is usually...

....a friendly and helpful forum. FYI; I did "STFA" before posting the question, but so much history was available on this topic (that usually ended up actually going off the topic!) that I thought I would expedite the issue.......

OK, I liked mine I really think it tightened things up while shifting and decelerating.

Difference of a DTS + snub mount is noticeable and worthwhile, but not a must-have mod.
