The most difficult wire is the full length tranny wire developed by GroundingGear Ltd. since it requires that you get under the car. A Short-Tranny wire option is available that is very simple however and 90% as effective.

Grounding Gear Good to Go!
GordGee offers a very professional product at a better price than anyone I have seen. Very good to deal with as well.
As for the grounding gear, the wires are stamped with their numbers, making installation very easy. Results were good, throttle response was improved, and idle was smoother. My butt dyno is not calibrated fine enough to determine any torque/HP improvements (which should be approx 4-5, judging from other grounding systems) but the driving experience was overall improved and the price, professionalism and quality can't be beat!

i got my 10 wire kit for the sedan 5AT installed about two weeks ago and it made a huge difference in the shifting i would def recommend it to AT owners and the install was crazy easy, i actually had a harder time installing new parking lights cuz i couldnt figure out how to get them out for like 30 min. if you want to see what the red grounding looks like check it out here:

Sickone, I see you finally got your G'Gear. Your Review
Great stuff, isn't it!
I'm getting interested in the plenum spacer now as well, but I'm going to see how that non-metallic one works out.
I'm going to take the liberty of pasting your GroundingGear review here, so it's all on one thread:
Sickone's Review:
Grounding Gear 5AT Performance System (pm GordGee on this bulletinboard)
This Mod ROCKS !!!, absolutely showed noticable improvment as soon as install
was done. Without a doubt a win all the way around. I got the full blown 10 wire
(7, +1, ECU, TCU) system. The car is smoother, it shifts like a madman.
Now being that for 25 years I have done microcontroller work with a lot of
sensor inputs, I knew it would improve things like smoothness, shifting etc.
I had no idea how much I would feel the improvement - Jaw Dropping...
PRO:........... Great performance improvement, absolutely great.
CON:........... NOT A SINGLE DOWNSIDE !!!
COST:.......... Depends on kit you buy, if you have an AT, get the full blown
10 wire. Send a message to Gordon for details.
INSTALL TIME:.. 120 minutes (also doing the connect to the tranny is a bitch
but well worth it)
Run, don't walk to get your Grounding Gear system. Don't bother with the others out there like Stillen, or Nismo, etc. Absolutely don't cheap out. Get the best kit available.

GroundingGear™ Edition MazdaSpeed Miata
I just thought I’d post this consistent to the development of this thread:
I’ve been working with various New Car Dealerships in developing GroundingGear™ Signal Optimizing Systems for their vehicles.
For the past year, the Mazda Dealers have noticed the significant performance improvement that GroundingGear™ has made on certain of their cars. In particular, to the performance oriented MazdaSpeed Miata.
I’ve been equipping one dealership’s MazdaSpeed Miatas this way, and it’s been offered as a new car option, right from the showroom! Many of their MazdaSpeed Miatas sold at this dealership have been the GroundingGear™ Edition MazdaSpeed Miata, and though I’d love them to stay in the showroom to give me greater exposure, they sell out quickly, even in the midst of winter, when convertibles rarely sell.

Grounding Gear
Just installed GroundingGear 7+1. Car starts stronger, Shifts are much crisper. Better idle. Car is much smoother. Wires nicely done. Service and follow up were excellent. Sent email to Gord asking for a picture to install one wire, the reply came 6 minutes later.
(Hindsight) Should have got the 10 wire!!!!

BTW, I just got confirmation from the Canadian Intellectual Property Office today.
In Canada, GroundingGear™ is now an officially registered Trademark, and is now GroundingGear® !
Only in Canada, eh?...Pity! (Nod to Red Rose Tea drinkers, for you Canucks that remember the Ads)
