Well, by "easiest and best" I would argue that it's merely the least expensive. But now that the seal issue seems to be resolved and people using it to good effect for some time, I guess "best" might also be high on that list now too.
Easiest might still be to use the adapter specified by the manufacturer for the specific trans. I've never installed either one though, so still can't speak from personal experience.
Correct on the 4wd/AWD version of the trans.
Which controller are you going to use? Factory computer or aftermarket?
