Default I would skipped all level 10 products.

I would listen to Ed and try the 2bennet, since he has experience with both companies.

Even if you have level 10 do the install, I would still not recommend them. I had them do this, and they installed the transmissions with broken mounts and never replaced the rear main seal. So basically, work was garbage, car leaked oil, and constant loud clicking noises because of the broken transmission mounts. I was quoted almost 2 grand to drop the transmission put new mounts in, and replace the rear main seal.

Not to mention the hard clunks from 2-1 and 3-4 and sometimes even 5-4 shifts. Car was not smooth after the install of the level 10 transmission, which I knew there would be clunks but honestly I never got used to them. Yes, I know there were ways to avoid some of the clunks but thats very annoying. The car just felt cheap.

Hopes this helps.
