Find a local shop that actually knows the 4L60E, there's a lot of improvements that can be done to greatly increase the usability of that trans. And those parts aren't going to cost more than regular parts. Plus a new quality torque convertor and a stand alone trans cooler. 250k out of one isn't a big deal any more.HTRN wrote:A replacement 4l60 isn't going to be that much cheaper - a basic rebuild is going to cost you 1600 for a 4l60e, and thats just a basic factory replacement, youre not getting anything better than what you started with.Weetabix wrote:That's more than I paid for the whole rig.HTRN wrote:Personally, i would spend the coin, buy a gearstar 4l80e, and retrofit it before bothering to rebuild one, but thats only if you plan on keeping it.
Sure the 4L80E is bigger and stronger but it's gonna cost a lot more.
He's is a post from another forum I'm on that was the gold standard for those trans.
