Does anybody else have work done to their auto ls tranny if so please let me know in which ways did it help. I just sent mine out for the whole shebang (Torque converter 2600rpm stall speed, PTS KIT, SUPER PUMPS, HYDRO SYSTEM, ALL NEW INSIDES,). If anybody has gone on their site they say these systems can handle up to 500hp and 400ft/lb. This is supposed to be an excellent setup at the 1320ft. Holla back!

There's been alot of talk about doing this on here, but i don't think anyone ever ended up actually doing this. I've never read anyone going through with it, so it will be interesting to hear your results. How much did it all come to if you don't mind me asking?

Yeah how much did it all cost and how long is it suppost to take? Interested since I have an auto also.
The best thing about those about the Level 10 convertors is that you have instant lock up from the start, which makes you quicker than a standard tranny. Plus every shift just slams into gear. Never done it in an Integra but have had done it with domestics many times.
Well it wasn't cheap for sure but in order to handle the boost on an automatic you have to do this setup or else you will be buying new trannies:
LEVEL TEN PTS TRANSMISSIoN=$3264.00
LEVEL TEN TORQUE CoNVERTER SERVICE (SEND YOUR EXISTING UNIT IN FOR AN UPGRADE)=$498
SHIPPING=$150 oNE WAY + oNE WEEK OR YOU CAN PAY LIKE $500-$600 TO HAVE IT THERE THE NEXT DAY.
JDMUGEN PM ME how did your domestic trannies work out with boost and running n/a did your times increase did you see more consistent times at the track?
Holla back!

Sam Ismail said this setup will be quicker than a manual setup. Don't quote me on this, but I will definitely see when I get it back. Plus I'm going to use it for the drag strip most all professionals say a automatic tranny is the best for the strip. Bracket Racing you want consistency in your times the auto will give you that. You slip a gear in a stick you are sol. Everybody to their own I respect everybody's opinion. For my particular setup I chose the Level Ten auto. Also www.jmousa.com works on torque converters to they are a little cheaper.
Just because someone drives an automatic, why does that mean that they can't drive stick?loud_whispers on Feb/16/04 said:
In all honesty, I can not see what the major probably is when someone wants to modify an automatic transmission. Could someone please explain how it is different from modifying anything else on the road.
I would love to hear how the level ten setup works on an integra. I've thought about doing it, but we have never had one single review on this board about it. I've seen it on a few domestics but let's not compare apples to oranges. And Mr. Moe, I completely feel you on this one. Why is it that all these "manual guys" assume that just because we drive an automatic we are somehow handicapped. Get over it, not everyone wants a manual, and a beefed up automatic will shift faster than you'll ever be able to shift. Also, I don't know who told you that this can only support as much power as a stock manual transmission but whoever it was is full of sh!t.

I bet I could drive a stick better than you and I drive an auto teg. So don't front.loud_whispers on Feb/16/04 said:
Ever heard of braket racing?
You got to expand your view of things, auto vs. manual. I keep my auto cause I'm not throwing out a perfectly good tranny.
If you think that way, think of what american muscle guys think of us, they could be like man, they are at a major disadvantage, they got 4 and we got 8, we are automatically better. It's ironic that some people are involved in import racing which is a skill and talent yet try to insult people who are doing the same thing in their hobby.

Hey when are you suppose to get your tranny back or your setup? How long did it take for them to modify it? I have an automatic also and would like more power to it. I just did the basics: intake, header, exhaust. Can you just get the torque converter itself or you need the parts too for $3k? Let me know how it feels. Debating wether I should go manual or do the level 10 modification. If it gives you that much of a boost, I would consider it and surprise all the manual f*ckers who talk too much sh*t about auto tegs being so slow.Martian on Feb/16/04 said:
Yes, you can just buy their torque converters. JMO also makes torque converters for the integra. You have to take it out and send it to them though. It might be better to just go to a junkyard and find one and then just send it in to them. I can't remember the site right now but there is a company that sells the torque converters, you would just have to have it installed.
on the levelten website, it says that there PTS Transmission incoporates all of their parts. So its about 3500 if you want everything.
Martian, exactly what did you get? I just looked at the parts availible for tegs. They do not offer the full transmission.

im kind of interested in one of the rebuild kits and what that'd do
Okay here is what I spent all that money on it is not a whole tranny. You have to take out your auto tranny and ship it to Level Ten. I gave Sam $2000 to get the parts in from the headquarters it took about one day to pull tranny one week to ship it to fedex in New Jersey two days there then out to Level Ten. The same to get it back. You can pay $500-$600 dollars to get the tranny there the next day then do the same to get it back if you're in a hurry I'm not I have another car I can drive.
If you look on their site under Level Ten Performance transmissions or under the imports section they will tell you it's all new parts inside the best of the best. The Torque Converter Service is seperarte Yes you can just have that done but your stock tranny won't be able to handle the power of boost without it breaking. Now you can buy just the kit Level Ten PTS kit and take it to a tranny shop and see if they will install it for you or you can do it yourself. You have options. Yes I did pay about $1250 for labor. So if you do it yourself you would probably save about $1500 from the cost that I posted. I don't drive my integra everyday anymore it is just a weekend car. Enough bullsh*t for now if anyone is seriously interested in hooking up their auto trannies please PM me. Thanks

Hakamoto, will the torque converter hold power without the other setup?
Yes, the torque converter would make a substantial difference. It raises the stall speed, how high you can rev and launch, it is directly connected all the time instead of being connected by ATF so it will be much faster. In response to loud_whisper's last post, you fail to take the other person's goals, needs, and wants into mind before giving them advice. Everyone chooses to make power in their own way, or else we would all be saving up for that ideal setup and everyone's car will have approximately the same amount of power. Your powerband should be molded around your gearing so yes, I will consistently fall into my powerband and not have to worry about rev matching, or missing a gear.
All things being equal, power output wise, the auto would have the lower ET. But instead of turning this into another auto vs. manual thread let's get back on topic. I, personally would have bought the rebuild kit and sent them my torque converter while I had a local shop use Level 10's parts to rebuild my tranny.
