Has anyone tried the new level10 valve body upgrade kit for our RS 6 transmission?

Doesn't look like anything I'd be willing to try, don't appear to be Audi specialists or even German specialists.

I have a friend that has his whole tranny done by level 10 in his RS6 and it is great....hes on here and im sure he will chime in soon

I remember looking into Level Ten tranny upgrades when I had the B5 S4. Eventually gave up on it, but others that did it had mixed reviews. I believe one of them had major issues in fact. But it would be nice to see if anyone has tried on the RS6, and gave an in depth review.

I was told the valve body upgrade would improve the reliability of our transmission. The guys at Level 10 said the weakest link was the pressure distribution in the valve body. Their revalving is similar to the TCU chip upgrade which increases the shift RPM's. They also sell a "bulletproof" tranny, but I think it's like 4 grand.

Not a bad price..good to know incase mine blows. I wonder if the shift times are increased!!. Remeber doing B & M valve body work on my old 70 Challenger; the shifts were very harsh; wheel chiping during light acceleration. I don't think that's what you would want in an RS6 though..

If the $4000 includes all the labor charges than that's not bad considering the new transmission would cost $12,000 PLUS labor...

Mike, I think the $4G's is to upgrade your existing tranny, not sure about the cost for an entire level10 transmission.

Ive had it done, like 2 plus years ago. I love it, and said it everytime this subject comes up. worth it. Expencive but i got a extremly reliable car out of it. Dyno numbers say what ive been pushing since the put it in, and havent had one trouble. But it does take time for your trans computer to relearn that it can do these things now.

mi021le,
Did you do the valve body upgrade, or the full tranny upgrade?
Also, can you give us a ballpark on the $$damages$$?

**mi021le** · March 17th, 2008, 15:41

off hand, the valve body, torque convertor, and clutch packs... were done. price was 2 years ago. maybe 4k. pulling the motor was 2 i think. but ill say it again, ive never had a wory about the trans not being able to handle the power.

26 psi??? wow. I think the OCT hits a max of 2200 mb (1.2 bar is what..17 psi?) very briefly before settling about 2000mb...

**RS6 POWER** · March 19th, 2008, 12:39

Yes, but with the OCT you get about 404AWHP and he has 460AWHP so there has to be an increase in boost.

Manuel
