Trusted transmission

[drenolov]

Where are some of the best places to get a transmission. I have been looking into monster transmissions but after a friend's failure and word of other failures I don't think that's a good idea now but I'm in need of a transmission and don't know where to start my search for a performance transmission or maybe I should just go to my local transmission shop for a rebuild of my 4l60e

I vote for local. You should be able to find a shop who does quality work and backs it up

I needed the same trans a few years ago, stock one though. I called every trans shop within 30 mins of me. All were 12 months or 12k miles they did the swap for around $2k. I went with a GM Good Wrench from a local dealer, 3 yrs 36K miles. It was like $1850 with exchange. Put it in myself. Shifted better than the one I had for years.

A GM trans is assembled by a trained tech, what ever doesn't meet spec is replaced. They walk over to a self and get a Gm part.

A standard local shop rebuild is clutch pack, seals, gaskets. If it needs a pump or any other parts that's extra and they use after market parts.

I would guess if you want a performance trans you could spec the parts but it will cost.

Yes I need to be able to handle 600 or 700 hp you think my local shop or gm man are up to the job I'll call around

+1 on the GM transmissions. One of the things that GM does with their rebuilt transmissions. Is if there were any engineering changes since the transmission was originally built those change will be incorporated during the rebuild. And I like the fully transferable 36-month/100,000 mile limited warranty.

Could also order one from FLT, RPM, or PATC

with that kind of hp goals, i would go with a 80e the 60 can be built to handle that power, but in the long run the 80 will cost less to build, and last a lot longer..imo

Try Mad Dog Transmissions, they do great work. A little pricy but they will be able to handle the power.

This is what a local builder does to a 4L60E? Does this sound good? Is there anything he is missing?
