Transmission build Q Got a 99 Trans am with the 4l60e and broke my sun shell the other day. Just wanted to ask for any recommended upgrades to parts while I'm in there. I was kinda looking at the TCI super pro kit but not sure of that's a decent kit or not and if there is anything else I should swap out. Any thoughts and experience would be appreciated. Thanks!

Probably have better luck in the auto trans section not the internal engine section

GM upgraded the sun shell to a heat treated one in 2003. Better yet is the Sonnax Smart Shell (about $95) used in every sponsor's high end builds.
While not a sponsor (yet) lots of members here have been very happy with custom kits from ebay seller TruTechTrans. Owner Jeff will put a custom kit together with exactly what you need, no more, no less.
Of course rebuilding a trans yourself is a tricky process. Sponsors FLT, RPM and Performabuilt sell excellent performance transmissions starting aroung $1500-$1600.
If you really are determined to rebuild it yourself, there are many threads to help you out.
