Level 10 AT Transmission Upgrade
After over 2 years and many many upgrades my AT decided to start slipping so bad that even at 20 psi i could not keep up with a stage 3 stock turbo meth car .
Shifting got rough and very abrupt, car started to shake slightly at idle etc etc The next step was to upgrade the Transmission but unfortunately i could not find any viable solutions in Europe in a short period of time. Aware of another forum member pushing 500 whp that went through my same issue and upgraded it with great results so far i decided to venture myself to the same direction. I contacted Level 10 in NJ and shipped my transmission there. I got really good feedback and customer support so far I will have my car back in shape in about 2 weeks Here some pictures of the open transmission. The clutch packs are pretty burnt out and there are some deep marks on hub splines:

My new HD lower stall torque converter and fully rebuilt ready to be shipped,
this is what has been done to it. High energy clutches-The clutches are designed to work with our vb to handle the power Front pump upgrade-The pump works with vb to maintain pressure and to keep transmission cool. Valvebody upgrade-The vb is to send the signal to clutches to handle the power Torque converter-The tc is used to tune for change in torque in engine. (lowstall) And special clutch for lockup

Very nice Enrita, looking forward to hearing about your results. I am in the process of researching a tranny build myself in preparation for a turbo upgrade in 2012.

Interesting... I read a comment in a recently posted thread in a forum that we dare not speak of that Level10 upgrade kit is nothing more than the OEM rebuild kit + some shims....
