Auto trans question/ help needed
As some of you know i got my car back and after 8 days my level 5 trans lost drive and overdrive. Temp spiked up to 257 degrees on the tranny fluid and i have a trans cooler. I am going to be pulling the trans out this weekend and checking to see if the shop had kinked any lines etc ....
Now my question is this..... Will a level 5 hold up good on the street with street tires not drag radials? Reason i am asking is my cash flow is super tight over all this build thats taken 3 years and alot of money. I called rpm and to fix it which they think is the clutches is $1000 and to fix it and upgrade it to a level 7 is like $1300 more. Just wondering if any high hp auto guys have a level 5 and its holding up. By the way my hp is 826rwhp Thanx :cheers: Rick |

Just fix what you have and ask if they can do some tricks for a little more $ to make it last longer. We all know were pushing the 4l60 beyond its limit's
I wish I could fit a 4l80 in there! |
This happen after a previous trans failure?
You stab the throttle in OD ? |

On a side note... I thought my rpm's were high going down the highway on the way home from mayhem in nc and i now see why.... I am almost 110% sure when i looked under the car when i had it back in december it had a 3.42 in it and now has a 3.73 in it!!! I never agreed to have a 3.73 rear in my car never wanted 1. 3.42 is as high as i wanted to go and expressed that from the very beginning of the build!!! With that said .. Seeing how other parts were switched out on my car every time the car was sent back i am willing to bet so was the teans and rear on this trip back!!! Now i am stuck with a rear i clearly do not want in the car!!:toetap:

After reading your other thread, anything that has been done to your car wouldn't surprise me. Good luck with everything. Hopefully RPM can get it straightened out for you.

If I were to go and up my RWHP to your level I would up to the Level VII myself - it is well worth it! :smash: A No Brainer! Thanks,Matt |

Its not 300 more its 1300 more and i have just confimed this isnt the teans and rear that was in my car when it was sent back to mayhem motorsports in january
I thought it was $1000 for the Level V fix and add $300 to make it a Level VII making it $1300 total - Gotcha! :thumbs: So in reality it is $1000 for the Level V and then add an additional $1300 to make it a Level VII making the total $2300 - I see now! That's why I thought an additional $300 was worth it! :eek: If the budget is very low then do the Level V and take any tranny lines going into the radiator out of it and bypass it straight into the cooler - that is what I have done and there are no heat issues ever! No matter how good your tranny is built heat will destroy it thoroughly! :willy: Thanks,Matt |
So now your saying that you don't have the same rear end and transmission in the car? Is It at least a RPM??
Not all there trans are black some are not painted mine is just bead blasted. The servo cover will have a RPM decal on it. |

RPM stamps a LV for a 5 on the top bell side
