Down the road i am planning on getting a levelten automatic transission upgrade for my 2000 Civic EX with 125,000 miles running 5lbs of boost on a greddy kit(planning on raising boost)!i was just wondering on what level ten parts ill need to get??? i am wanting to run maybe 10-12psi tops(after rebuilding engine)!

 

Get the shift kit (valve body modification), and a torque converter upgrade. I can't imagine there's much of anything else that you'll need to make it shift better and slip less.

 

Higher stall Torque converter, new clutch packs, shift kit, possibly a new valve body. Not worth it IMO might as well convert to manual. I've beefed up an automatic before and it still wouldn't hold as much power as manual trans will.

 

Switch to manual and worry about a clutch.

 

how much would a conversion cost roughly???(what will have to be switched out???just the tranny???)and cant u find EX manual transmissions pretty cheap???

 

You need tranny, shifter, shifter cables, pedals, trans mounts...think that's it. Not sure on the cost i only converted DSM's so i'm not sure about honda's.

 

you forgot the linkage also. and maybe a manual ECU?

 

well here is my basic question!If i rebuild my auto transmission with the right stuff will it be able to handle 9-10lbs of boost safely???(it is a daily driver so i dont give it WOT much if at all)i just dont want to have to convert to manual if i dont have to(by properly rebuilding auto tranny)

 

it will never be as strong as a manual one. just save yourself the money and troube and swap for a 5spd.

 

swappin in a manual will probably be the same if not cheaper than beefing up the auto..
