There is only one FTVB, and yes its deffinatly worth the money, don`t waste your money on other kits, the FTVB is the best one and its very easy to install, I installed mine in about 30 minutes.

Well there are two different versions, so the question of which "FTVB" would seem logical. They have the standard 2C which is what most people have, then they have the 2CR which is what me and philip have and that's the one that knocks calcium deposits off, lol. LFP has one, BTS has one, and a few other people do too. Nothing compares to the actual FTVB though.

As far as models, if your wanting it to shift better, not hard, go with the 2C. If you want it hard, 2CR. Either takes about 10-15 minutes to install "and requires only simple hand tools." You'll need the new pan, and fluid. It's cake but messy.

You can easily install the FTVB, pan, and filter with:

~8mm socket wrench
~10mm socket wrench
~A torque wrench to measure in ft. lbs & inch lbs.
~mallet & hole puncher
~ a BIG fluid catcher :)

And yes, it's a very worthwhile install.
