I never really planned on going FI also. I figured that the power level was fine but as we all know. Once the mod bug hits,
Yes same here, I got the 7AT because I didn't think I would want to boost the car. Also my wife stated she wanted to be able to drive the car, little did I know that she would never drive the car she hates it and refuses to drive it. Now I'm stuck with a car I cannot boost.. I refuse to spend 5k to have the trans rebuilt better off doing a manual swap.

Same thing here. The idea was that my girlfriend could drive the car if I got drunk but she has never once driven the car because she doesn't want to wreck it.haha

I'm trying to stay below the 400wtq level on the car. I'm at 335wtq now and it's fast enough. If I can get it to 375wtq and 470whp I might be satisfied.

I went through the same thing... but my girl and I just agreed she would have to learn how to drive stick.

To date, she has not learned.

My right shoulder is damaged and it makes it more difficult to drive a manual now.

That's ok I like the paddle shifts. I had the Challenger up to 800 HP with a automatic and it was down right scary fast lol :icon14: Stupid fast actually.

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

I'll share my insights and discovery's in this thread instead

It seems the dodge transmission is a lot stronger then the 7AT.

A lot simpler too. Plus it had been around for ages and the info and parts for it, is everywhere.

That was then and this is now. Bring on the 7- speed; it's not that hard. :icon14:

Has anyone actually contacted Level 10 and talked to them about this? I only ask because a couple years ago when I talked to them about a tranny issue they were very informative and helpful.

Lt8Che 01-14-2017 09:59 AM
I want to say I would go 6mt if I could do it all over again but that would be with the AWD G (which they don't make and a swap is unheard of). Between the level 10 upgrades and tune the 7AT works nicely, when I want more response (tracking) I put it in DS and use the paddles. It probably shifts quicker than I ever could through the 6MT.

With that being said the 6MT is still fun and allows for some things the 7AT just can't accomplish. We'll see how the built 7AT works out soon with the finished build (hopefully 700awhp)

Did not know a better place to ask this as it pertains to the application and all I felt it was fitting here:

Is there a way for us to launch in 2nd gear? Taking into account the extra power from a turbo or SC and presuming some might have already changed their final to 3.692 or even 3.9 it might be advantageous, traction wise, to be able to launch in 2nd. But, I do not know if the computer can be programmed or tricked into doing this. Thoughts?

Are people scared to start new threads?

That was directed toward the 2nd gear pull question which in no way is relavent to this thread and should be one on its own.

zer099 01-19-2017 07:24 PM
Fair enough, ask a mod to move it and clean up the thread (or, could a mod kindly?). Though some will argue the actual relevance to the question as launching a short geared 1st gear car (much like the very short 4.924 1st our AT has and paired with a 3.357 final, or even shorter ratio if the person went up to a 3.692 final) could be a point of failure for the transmission. Launching in 2nd (with either finals) with a high launch toque application, such as TT or SC, could help save the tranny from such a failure. But I can also see how one might say "no way is relevant to this thread". I apologize.

BTW, did you end up calling Pat at Level10 to get the answer you were looking for?
