Sharif,
I can only speculate on what exactly was done to the frictions. The fact is, stock frictions lasted longer than "upgraded".

JoneZZZ,
I don't know much about our trannies. All I can see is excessive wear on bearings of some parts and some non OEM work performed, I just wanted to get more insight from people who might know more than I do.

 

how much whp were you pushing on that tranny?

 

I have had 0 problems with my level 10 work but plan on doing more tranny work after my motor build just to be safe

 

I did not have any problems with level 10 except for the credit on my card for the valve body return also. Chris did you ever put the tranny cooler on yet? It works great and makes a difference.


Thanks Glen

Don't know exactly. 13lbs on 8.5:1CR motor, 17 degrees of total timing advance, 7100rpm redline and fuel in low 11s across the board, my guess around 460whp on RON98 fuel.

PumpedVa,
Did Level10 modify your internals, or just VB and TQ? I'm curious to see how much power your car makes and how it is driven.

 

Yeah, I installed one this past weekend. I haven't had time to really go out and see just what kind of difference it has made in performance yet though.

 

just VB and TC and at the time pushing 350whp

 

hmm, did you have a tranny cooler? im curious b/c im having my 5AT being built up (cams, springs, rods, pistons, 9:1 CR). i had the vb upgrade done by stillen and they claim it can handle 450-500whp with a good tranny cooler.

 

We have Blitz tranny cooler kit. It is very big, almost like half of the radiator.

WHP claims for powerholding is bunk. Let's say you car makes 400wtq at 3800rpm (wow, good tune ), that is only ~289whp, but that's enough to break things.

 

It is official, we're doing 6MT swap, since there are no signs of progress with autos in the near future.
Are the driveshafts the same on 5AT and 6MT ?

 

 

how much something like this run?

 

I have a few soares lying around that need 3rd gear sync if your interested

 

Man that really sucks, sorry to hear it. But out of curiousty. Did you ever look into www.SGPRacing.com Auto tranny that they build? I believe its only around 3grand or so, and they say its good for 600rwhp and beyond. Sounds like something u could of used.

 

cloudy,

call them, their tranny wouldn't be out for another 4-6months. It just sits on the website as placeholder.

Guys, sorry I can't answer questions for a month or so, I'm travelling all over the place and frankly speaking could care less about the car right now, vacation you know

 

That's what I was going to recommend. I'm not sure if the driveshafts are the same though. I have a FSM at home and I'll check it out when I'm off work.
