I have reading an I am going to go ahead with the TC as it seems it is a great mod for an 5AT. Anyone know the best place to purchase it and the best prive to buy one at?

Thanks!

You might try a search. Quite a few have upgraded their TCs.

Mean Gene has a Level 10 TC and valve body. I have and Edge Racing TC, Stillen valve body and B&M Aux ATF Cooler. My TC was under $500.00 - then there's ATF, transmission seals, removal & replacement costs.

The TC is my next upgrade, I have been looking at this group(Protorque). I have not made the purchase yet, but this is the group I will deal with.....take a look.

sorry to bring it back from the dead, but do they give u the tc or u have to remove your own? Also there's soo many different ones from edge racing (mild,street,etc). How do I decide if this car is mostly daily driven with weekend trackin and wat is the best stall to request? And how much will labor run. I get it that part is 500 but is labor expensive??

edgeracing: if your local then you can just drive to their store location. if not (like myself), you have to drop the tc, ship it to edgeracing and they will ship it back to you within 2 days modified. re-install and youre done. if you want to keep your current TC box, you will have to stick to the mild to street setup. talk to andre and let him know what your expectations are, and he will give you a setup that best fits.

total cost: around 1K including labor, shipping and a tranny oil cooler.
