Did he say what the trans will handle in completely stock form?

RJ MFG Said 400 ft/lbs. Maybe we should get back on topic though. I have no interest in reading pages and pages of posts about the woes of people driving Automatic 370s. <-- (He's not putting into "D")

Did he happen to mention if they are going to offer a clutch kit like Exedy does? If so, did they mention how much more torque it could handle?

For a lot of us, its the cost of shipping the whole transmission, that really sucks. Finding a local transmission specialist, to do the work, is easier and least expensive than 5K + shipping from Level 10.

No offense intended but I'm having a hard time justifying the 5 K cost too.

Same here, I looked into a manual swap. I got a pice list of everything you will need. I even threw in lightweight flywheel new clutch, the CSC fix kit from Z1 and triple pass MT radiator. All parts shipped to my house would cost $4,515. Now mind that you could do the work yourself that's the price for a transmission to handle the power of a boosted car.

Also I'm in the process of finding a a totaled MT sport package Z to see if it's cheaper.

we haven't asked about any upcoming product offerings from level10 yet. Our only thoughts are that they would be supplying aftermarket clutch packs with the build to justify the costs. However, that is unconfirmed at the moment. Instead of shipping of your trans you could do the following:

Fast intentions flex plate
Exedy clutch pack
Level10 valvebody
Level10 TQ converter
Transmission cooler

Have a local competent shop install it all. That is if shipping is an issue. Now if new gears need to be made we can handle that if it comes to it.

That's EXACTLY the point where I'm at right now. The only things left to do now is to talk to level 10 and ask about the valve body mods and determine if I can rebuild the transmission or find a shop that can.

I've rebuilt Dodge automatics to a performance level with clutch packs, valve body mods and coolers, etc. But the 7 speed looks a little more complex and requires a little more thought. I may buy a used 7 speed and tear it down to explore and play, just because I can
