Definate difference, is all i can say...although I haven't felt the full effect because I have to adjust the TB Cable, when i picked up my car...i drove off the lot and boom i could automatically feel the difference, wanna know whats scary? I never drive with Overdrive off....but it was on (The shop guys had it on) now just imagine this, i felt all this difference...with Overdrive on. When i switched it on...OOOOOOOH YEH...and might i remind everyone that this is a 1.8L 97 Tibs TQ...that i used to replace my original 2.0 01 Tib TQ because the US Postal Service lost it...and im guessing that the 1.8 97 Tib would be a little weaker internally (externally the same) probably just a different stall speed...and im guessing the 2.0 TQ would have seen an even bigger difference. GRRRRRR d*mn the postal service! OBEY YOUR UPS! They are god...

In the end how much did you end up spending?
(trying to see if a tranny swap would be cheaper)

 

Just for the torque converter...if i had sent it UPS in the first place...I would have spent around...680$ for all LevelTen.com services...and around 460 for shop...in reality i spent over 1500, because the US Postal service LOST my original Torque Converter. Earlier last night I raced a Celica GT-S...took him on startoff...but of course he took me later...the PTS System should fix that...that will cost around 2,000+, fortunately this time i have a replacement Transmission until i get the other one.

 

what rpm's can u rev up to when u have your foot on the gas and brake?

 

Havent tried yet...ill do it before I go to work today.

 

Did you ever get timed so you can compare the before an after?
If not find a local tib with close mods as you an race him tongue.gif

 

9o7TiB7o9 !!
If im not mistaken it might be a 2.0L TQ that you have because i had it replaced under warranty and they gave me a 2.0L tranny as i remember telling them!!
Not 100% sure though?

 

No I didnt get it timed, my car has been in the shop longer then ive had it out...2UNIQ i think its 97...because its black...mine was silver...at least thats what im guessing anyways...if you could ask your dealership, itd be nice smile.gif maybe they have it on record.

 

So, how is it going with the TQ?? Do you think it is a worth while upgrade???

Spatch!

 

Wow hadnt seen a post here in any of mine in awhile...well when I had my tib it was, definate difference, if i didnt have to pay all those extra costs because of the Postal service losing my 2.0L TQ Converter in the first place i would have been more then satisfied, one thing i should have really tried to figure out was a small ringing sound that began about 3 weeks after i got it back...but yeh unfortunately i switched out my Tib for a WRX (missin my Tib, just the way it felt), im enjoyin the awd turbocharged powerhouse...but the tib was like my baby...but nope got a Pearl Blue Rexxy. All in all A+ for the overhauled TQ Converter, just make SURE you go UPS in every shipment.

*EDIT ADDED* Oh and expect the unexpected...as far as price goes...its 479$ or something around their for labor/overhaul job...but these guys are pretty funny and charged me another 100$+ for their drive over to UPS to drop off the package tongue.gif
