got mine about a month ago, (stage 2 with a 3500 stall) and I love it. it shifts great when your cruisin, and when your on it. As far as longevity I cant say. bought the performabuilt after I put some drag radials on and the damn trans came apart after 2 days (already rebuilt it twice). Definately recommend you get a built unit from one of the better known distributors, rebuilds and factory units arent worth a damn on a modded f-body.

I just finished installing my level 2 yesterday. I had a fresh vig 3600 converter so I put that back in untill I get my Yank sent out and flushed. I drove the around for a couple hours taking it real easy then brought it back to my garage to check for leaks or other problems and let it cool down. Everything was pretty much cool. I went out to my favorite test spot and did a couple WOT runs. It shifts good, no problems. The rear seal supplied with the trans is leaking slightly, I'll get a new one from GM tomorrow. I'm pretty happy so far, the leaking tailshaft isn't a big dilema. I should be making some 1/4 mile passes on Wednesday, maybe even Tuesday if the weather clears up.

Glad is going well , On the tail seal look carfully at the yoke for any sign of wear right where the seal rides when you go to change it , Also strange as this sound if its just a tiny amount if may actually quit after you drive and do a few cool down cycles I have seen it before

Well, my trans just took a crap as well. I took it to get flushed a few days back, then I tried some WOT shifts, with no luck. The trans runs fine normal driving, but at WOT, just revs like if I'm in neutral. I've been looking around, and I will be probably going with a Performabuilt one as well.
