The other thread is pointless until page 9. (ATTN)-Mods it should be removed from sticky!!!
Why its 4+ yrs old and a ton has changed for the auto trans community, I think stock they are weak but the m6 has the same trans and 170hp they are holding up,and with the focus having the same trans and a lot of built foci around now we can get the parts we need.Lentech -http://www.lentechautomatics.com/fwdmodels.html has many parts available and in different power ranges. They sell 3 different trans form street to strip, I the first two still have the upgraded stock converters the third has the 23 spline hd converter. Id buy the street terminator I was quoted $1699 Plus lentechs have LIFETIME Warranty!_Alto has the rebuilt clutch kits that update the 3 to 5 frictions for better performance and clamping force and less heat.

and there are other parts available, the days of selling your auto are gone,get it rebuilt, get a better valve body, boost it up and go racing If you price a good clutch and gtx gears rebuild in a manual at a shop its gonna cost close to the same. Some people have good luck with manuals others break them a lot, and some say autos are better, I like my auto and plan on boosting it with stock trans and then rebuilding it when, if it blows.
Lets sticky this and quit scaring all the auto owners away from boosting..
