hey i was just wondering whats the difference between a level10 tranny- and a 5 speed manual transmission

Well one is an automatic and one is a manual... what other differences are you asking about?

LOL that was harsh. ecko, could you rephrase that?

some consider level 10 auto trannies to be "bullet proof" meaning they can take the abuse..of course IMO, a manual trans is a lot more fun to drive

a built auto is about as bulletproof as a stock 5spd, after what i30krab went through, 2 level 10 trannies, one NHRA or w/e it is.. i'd never build a auto for this car.

One is heavier.

possibly oblivious to what i had written.. "level 10 auto tranny vs. 5 speed manual"
obviously i know one difference. the post was to find out more..

They have different gear ratios.

Faster shifts

the level 10 has faster shifts than an average person driving a 5 speed??

One has 4 foward gears, the other has 5.

That would be true.

wow...so its sort of an"audi" transmission were it shifts at like .2 seconds

Possibly I work at one of the premier race transmission shops in the country? If you want to "find out more" maybe you should specify what it is you are looking for.

You want me to start listing the parts differences? Dimensional differences. Operational differences? Performance differences? Cost differences? Specify please, and don't snap at people who obviously know more than you about the subject at hand when you asked a completely vaque question.

He seen this in the clasifieds and now is wondering about how it compares to a 5 spd

i asked a completely vaque question due to not having the experience in that field.. if i specifically asked level 10 auto transmission.. then a: i know its a level 10, B it is an automatic transmission,..

I truly didnt want to snap back but i took your comment as a smart *** gesture.

Friends 4 ever????? lol..

sorry about that

Are you truly starting?

What type of data/information would you like to get out of this thread?

just wondering if a 5 speed swap is worth it or just getting a level 10 transmission... then again i can build up a 5 speed tranny to be strong also ,right?

What are your goals?

What kind of power levels are you planning on reaching?

IMO 5MT > L10

I'm not trying o reach significant levels...i also have a evo.
but i love the maxima and it was a dream since day one to put money into it and this is my first step.. possibly only around 300-350 hp..anything to get me in the 13's

You can get into the 13's with 200 whp.

oh wow i didnt think our cars were capable of that. but i dont want to gut my car out to achieve that time

.

whats the most anyone would pay for this trans? im contemplating buying it

It probably worth over 1g
