The hardware is only half of the problem, mating the TCM to the ECU to the BCM and making it all work like OEM without a christmas tree on your dashboard is the challenge.

The Level 10 transmission is still holding up well. Haven't been able to get the car out too often but when I do I drive it enthusiastically!

Holy crap batman! Up to 700hp for $5k? That may be worth it. There isn't a listing of the work done. How are they to deal with?

They are lots of guys making over 400 WHP on the auto's . Stock trim I was and the motor popped first :/. IT you want a X sedan and 6 spd manual, GL gonna cost a lot and I'm betting you'd need a 6 spd out of a GTR and not a G37 or 370

They even spelled Infiniti wrong on their website. I have heard lots of good things about Level10 though.

sell yours and buy a manual if that's what you really want. Or beef up the auto

I had the same train of thought. Sold my '10 7AT and bought a '13 6MT, same color and everything. 110% worth it.
