What other mods to you have, what other mods to you have planned?
In all reality, more than likely, you would be better off to ship your tranny to Level 10 and get it reworked.

There are no lightened flywheels for an automatic transmission, because there's no "flywheel" in the same sense as a manual transmission has.
The torque converter on your automatic serves the function of your manual clutch and flywheel assembly. This unit is what typically needs to be upgraded to take higher power and live through harder shifting. There is no real way to "lighten" it, as it's a rather large assembly of smaller components and fluids.
Thus, if someone ever tells you they have a lightened flywheel on their automatic transmission, you can instantly wave the BS flag.

How much was the level 10 upgrade again? I searched for our huge thread over at fxtreme, but didn't find a price. Also, does anyone have any contact info for them? One more thing...aren't they based in NY? Heh...sorry for the 20 questions, and the somewhat off topic...
