I have any automatic Civic and I do not want to make a full comversion to manual I was wondering if they make anything to put into a civic that is like the Sport Shifters in the Audis and Eclipses? I have tried searching but I did not know what to search for.

I'm not sure but B&M might make some sort of shift kit like they do for the TH350.

A sequential auto tranny, huh? Something like this (http://www.levelten.com/store/import/items/electronics/import_shiftronic.htm) perhaps? :eek7:

Hmmm...thats interesting. I wonder how that works w/ reliability issues w/ the car and if that company makes reliable parts... still interesting.

Your kidding me right? Ask around, Level10 is one of the leading manufactures of T/C's for auto Civics that people buy. They are right up there with TCI from what I hear. Reliable? Indeed! :cool: Reliable with this sequential "manual/automatic," that I couldn't tell you. :confused: I'd just stick with a beefier 2800RPM stall speed T/C upgrade and call it a day, If you really want manual style shifting sans a Tiptronic like shifter, then you might as well do an auto to manual swap and call it a day, that's my :2cents:

Nope not kidding... I've never heard of Level 10 but I wasn't trying to knock them or anything, although the name sounds familiar, I just didn't know. Thanks for the clarification though.

No prob. Most actually don't know of these companies unless they've explored or asked around about upgrades to auto trannys, so it's all good. :) I'd check out their website for info on their products. Also www.artcarr.com makes some very nice Honda upgrade T/C units I hear as well.

If you are looking to beef up an AT, level ten is very reputable and is the place to go. Now as to whetehr the shiftertronic is realiable, I have no clue. It's a level 10 product though, so I would assume it is at least decent.

ive heard veru good things about the TCI unit, apparently a .4-.5 reduction in 1/4mile time is acheived just by using it, but for $799 it better be well worth it.
