Speaking of Tina, where is she? Did she give up on SL and start a crossfit forum?

 

The key is hitting the 250-260 mark safely without destroying the tranny.

 

True. Nothing worse than rocks in a box and a non-drive-able car.

 

Has anyone on the board had their Auto transmission built yet?

I spoke with someone at Boost Logic and they said told me they built a Scion tC trans but never heard anything about it from their customer, so I just wondered if they were on here?

 

ZPI used to offer a build for auto trans iirc it was claimed to be good to 300hp

 

We had a "fully build" IPT "bulletproof" trans. Well, now that car is a 5 speed to make it short. Honestly, Its easier, cheaper, and you have more peace of mind with a 5 speed.

For the money of a built auto, you can get a 5 speed swapped in, a LSD, a nasty clutch, and have another 5 speed sitting in your shop/garage when you shred 4th gear out of it.

 

Yeah I have had a few of our customers do this. And I have to agree with BDIS3 that it's not worth it. Just swap it to 5 speed.

 

How complicated / involved of a project is that? I wouldn't usually recommend it to a customer but I have had a local customer thats been inquiring about it and I didn't know if people were actually attempting it or not.

 

someone made a parts list...might find it in the tech section

Nice...thanks for the info!

 

dont thank me, thank the person that wrote it.

 

There ya go! Jeff (318_tc) was the first to do it back in 2006 or 07.

 

Probably the guy to talk to is Pat Barret at Level 10 in NJ..makes everything bullet proof

 

I have seen some poor builds come out of level 10 over the past 2 years. I am not sure I feel comfortable referring a customer there in confidence.

 

WOW I haven't used hima few years but his shop was very close to my old house and he did quite few builds for me (imports and domestics FI and non FI) and my friends and they were stellar.....sad to hear that they may have changed

 

iv only heard of one person use them to build a tranny for their tc. I dont really know the details about it but it didnt work out too well if i remember correctly
