While I wouldnt say more important, I would agree that it is equally important. I think each game effects the consideration for a shifting transmission. This year seemed to be a good year to shift, especially if your drivers use it. Even though we went with an AM shifter and it worked well, I do feel that if we had spent a little more time with weight distribution we wouldnt have gotten pushed around even as much as we did.
