Beginning to research tranny after 100K...
VR tranny as well as www.levelten.corn (bullet proof tranny)..
Am very interested in getting a tranny that I can depend on after 100K. Of course, I would run the OEM tranny after 100K and when that goes at 100.1K, I could do the upgrade.
Anyone do an upgrade yet? Any comments/knowledge on the above VR or Bulletproof tranny..
Orignally, I thought I wanted to get rid of the Acura before 100K but I really like the car and would have no complaints if I can get 200K out of the car.

its a interesting site, the Q i'd ask if there tranny is "bulletproof" how come Most honda/acura trannys have had some sort of a problem, and more importantly why was the problem never fixed. Especially with the recalls in the last few weeks.
Do they offer any kind of a Warranty if they install one of there trannies and how much ?

Three Wheelin'
I called the Guy, take 2-3 days for the ordering and they do the install
The Tranny for Stage 2 is 3464 and the Torque converter is 598.
He said the car will perform like never before, and have a 6month unlimited warranty, but said never had any issues with their work
HE SAID " This is the Same Setup that Comptech Has in their Car"

You knon what, after 100K, if the tranny goes South, it is certainly worth a try for $4K. I would do that over heading to Acura for another OEM...
Hope somebody tries the upgraded tranny and report back..

Yes, mine is already installed. The greatest benefit(aside from the better shifts,etc..) has been the LSD my previous tranny just kept spinning the passenger side. The next update will be the 9lbs of boost and tranny.

Thanks for the updates, many of us are interested and you can be very helpful in keeping us posted.

Now I'm excited....
SCTL-SS I will keep you in mind and try to get another update in a couple month on the tranny....
Like I said, I would like to see 200K with this car as I can't imagine what else out there is that much better. If I trade, I get a newer car but I will easily be $20K poorer. $4-5K on a good tranny will be a good way to go.

STAY AWAY FROM LEVEL 10, THEY ARE CROOKS
just do a search for them on supra forums or even v6p.net
DO NOT WORK W/ LEVEL 10. They have even been accused of using stock parts in upgraded trannies.

I don't think he went w/ Level 10, sounds like he went w/ someone else.
And they may do it right, i've just heard NOTHING but bad things about them over the years.
