Does anyone here have a Level 10 Tranny or Torque Converter. I hear very good stuff about their Torque Converter, and some about their tranny upgrades. I know people have shaved off a full second on their 0-60 on their maximas from the Level 10 torque converter and tranny.

only MCHtypeS had it on his 3.5l typeS

I have the torque converter. On our cars you can drop up to a full second off your 1/4 mile, just w the torque converter. I havent expeirenced a full sec off my 1/4 but damn near close. I'm happy!

does this make your car peel out every time you take off?

can you post some info about this converter? is it for CL-S ? who makes it? how much? where to buy from? how much for install? hehehe, sorry for all the q's.

I HAVE to drive w the traction control on or I'll just rip through tires. In automatic the car revs all the way out to redline Sometimes it hits the limiter & then shifts. If I'm on an incline I dont use my brakes if its a steep incline my car rolls back, like a stick I noticed that I gotten better gas milage. When your on the throttle hard and let off it holds in the gear doesnt shift right away.
While driving slow the shift is a bit more harsh.
The torque converter is just rebuilt for 500. I got it installed there of a good deal. It takes 3 working days.

Sounds great! Maybe except for the part about hitting the rev limiter when in fully automatic mode, but that'll be easy to get used to....just use SS. This really makes me want to know more about Level 10's other offerings for the CL, I can just imagine their $2,500 tranny rebuild. And it's supposed to allow you to select between normal, sport, and race modes for shifting, so that should minimize the harsh shifting you feel when going slow. I just have to check now if this package includes the TQ, or if that's an additional expense.

Not familiar with this converter. Can anyone tell me what the stall is on it?

Man...the improvements just from the torque converter sounds really good. I think the torque converter is running for $495. Does anyone have the whole transmission from level 10, besides MCHtypeS. If so...please post your improvements. Oh, btw... MCHtypeS, what improvements did you see from the level 10 tranny?

Rod

I believe mchtypeS only had the torque converter also. I don't think anyone on here has gotten the complete tranny upgrade.

yeah i had the tc ..........stall speed is increased to 34-3500 rpm yes it made a difference off the line and in 4th gear y car would always go into vtec but that was with the 3.5 upgrade i dont know if it will hit vec on a reg 3.2 motor

I was noticing the stock converter moving from 5K- to 6K at 4000 feet and on slight grades in 3rd gear (I was out in the desert). I had never noticed this before, and realized that a converter with a higher stall speed could hit the rev. limiter on hills.

I originally thought the "stock" or "modified" converter would stay in lock-up after a given rpm or load, but it seems that the torque converter goes into partial lock depending on a set of tables in the computers.

So, I like the idea of the "beefed-up" converter, but wonder about all of this without a way to alter the lock-up behavior of the converter. Until my torque peak is at 7K, I don't know that I would want the unit moving off the torque peak on grades.

Please tell me I'm wrong...
