i like mine! only issue i had was a pump leak. so they had it picked up and they fixed it no charge to me

shifts real fast and firm. it has no hesitations like the stock transmission. its either shifting or its not. there isnt any in-between moosh like a stock one. best way i can explain it

FRANK IS THE SHIz. IM running the lvl 2 on a 10.10 pass with nitrous there is very few on this board that can say that. I have made several nitrous passes in the year and half I have had there transmisson no problems what so ever. I have went thru at least 80 to 90 10 lb bottles of nitours many nights of street racing and the tranny has always held up. I have had guys crap there pants that I run a 4L60E . Give frank a call. or pm him. by the way tranny is still rockin today.
MY 10.14 PASS

Great company, I would not hesitate to recomend them. I've had my level 2 about a year and a half and most of those were not easy miles.

I love mine. One full season on it and she shifts perfectly. Only complaint I have is that the track tells me from time to time that I'm leaving a dime size amount of tranny fluid on the track when I launch.

Not sure if that's the tranny or the install though.

Just pulled the trigger on a Level II this past Friday. I'll be doing several track days between the next few months, and will be throwing down at least low 1.5 60' times so I'll make sure I give you all a report after I get it in and all.

I have a level 2 with their 3600 stall. I haven't had any issues so far. My shop has said that they have had a couple issues with perfomabuilt transmissions, but that they have always sent replacement parts/transmissions when things don't work as they should. I like my performabuilt.

I tell you something. I have NEVER experienced better customer support. I bothered Frank at all hours of the day and night, and he was always ready to help me with even the dumbest of questions. He helped me get everything I needed to know right in my head before I ordered. I just ordered a few days ago a level 2 with a 9" 2800 1.6 stall, and I am hoping to have just as good of luck as everybody else. I know, my car is weak as **** compared to these other guys, but if his support is any indication of quality, I am in for one hell of a happy buying experience.
