Damn, that's cool stuff. You could definitely cut some time on the quarter with a tq converter. Anyone have experience with the kit from levelten?

Level Ten has a seriously bad reputation. At least from 3-4 years ago. Things may have changed by now though. No one I know of here on the forum is running a level ten transmission.

Just remember that if you only upgrade the T.C. you are going to be putting more stress on an already weak transmission.

Velocity Resources was bulding "built" trannies for awhile. Not sure what happened to them. I believe a few of the members have had problems with them though.

I did a little research on different transmission rebuilts etc. I talked to a sales rep at Levelten about a month ago and they told me about 6,000 for a tranny and torque converter which comes with a 6month unlimited mile warranty. I have also talked with a couple people at Speed Distr and they were talking about 2500(not including shipping of it) and turn around time of about 3-4 days. I believe Dr. Evil is about 4,000 as I have the information but I never called them.

i've been looking to get a tranny rebuild but i've been hearing nothing but bad info about level ten, speed distributors.... i know some domestic muscle car guys using dr evil trannies, but i haven't heard of anyone using it for imports.

with a highly efficient tq converter you will see gains... but which company can make a transmission that wont crap out every 20k or so miles for our cars?

Don't get me started.

If you have $10,000 laying around let me know and i'll go into details on what's needed. Otherwise i'll just leave it at "no"
