TheIllestSesh Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Hey guys, I'm an owner of a '06 LGT 5EAT. After consulting with a couple different shops here in the Denver/Boulder area, it looks like I need a transmission rebuild (significant metal shavings found in transmission filter and fluid). I'm considering the IPT 5EAT Performance Rebuild Kit. I wanted to see if you all had any luck with this kit, and if there are any other recommendations or comments. Would it be a good idea to get the HexMods F1 VB at the same time? Anything specific I should tell my mechanic when assembling the kit? Is it a better idea to have the complete performance transmission upgrade? Mainly just looking for any feedback or ideas as I work through this process. Thanks for the help! theillestsesh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCASEYS Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 take out your VB and mail it to Dave. find a used low mile tranny on car-part.com- make sure '06 swap VB and email Dave, he might buy it off you as a core. I donated to LegacyGT.com which allows me to have this nifty signature. If anything SCASEYS posts ever becomes a sticky i'm gonna light this whole place on fire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyMonkey Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 The whole performance transmission would be sweet. It has an upgraded valve body also. IPT is expensive, but you get what you pay for. I am debating this upgrade - or getting the internal parts kit from IPT, having a shop install it and sending my valve body to Climber D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
