Trans is still holding strong. Some track time down and hard 0-120 pulls, zero hiccups.

Road course for a day and some 1/4 drag strip time too!

I hate you and your fancy AWD! Hopefully I can get out to the track again soon.

Haha, Tony, you'd still kill me on a roll. I'm going to try to run the NT01 setup next and see if that helps times a bit.

Firstly the Bosch Module (Traction Control/Yaw Sensor) is located right behind our shift units, it sits underneath the cup holders. The easiest way to get to it is to take off the front of the arm rest storage (the part with the USB and 12v charge)


When you get that off you can see the Module with a black plug and four wires coming out of it. The wires are green, light blue, yellow, and black. The green wire is the power source.


I cut this wire and spliced a switch into it in order to have a way to completely shut of the Traction Control and associated electronic assistance.


I took some pictures and will post them up when I find them.

Perfect! Thanks so much for putting this together. Seems pretty straight forward, but this will definitely simplify the process. I even have an extra blank switch plate between my seat heater switches that I can use for the switch.

Thanks for keeping us all up-to-date on your tranny. I haven't pulled the trigger on the Level 10 tranny yet, but it's my next major modification. After that there's not much left to do.

No prob. I'm trying to keep everything up to date so it helps others out. If people can avoid some of the headaches I've had it makes it worth the post!


Level 10 is definitely the best bang for the buck for our 7AT's! I highly suggest them.

Mine's actually a 5AT, but I don't think that really changes anything regarding Level 10... I've talked to several people with fully build 5AT from Level 10 and all are very happy. I'll probably plan on doing that project over the holidays this year when I don't plan to drive the car much. Will definitely let you know how it works out!

The current 1/4 mile record is set by a Jim Cooper (SharpbyCoop) on the forum. He had a 5AT built by Level 10, so you would be in good hands. His engine failed before his transmission showed any hiccups.
