well i found a sweet deal on a built 4l60e (artcarr parts, but built at aamco) and it has a 3000 nonlockup converter.... hes selling the whole thing for a grand (the tranny has less than 1000 miles, car was getting repoed, so he took some of the stuff out of it before it got repoed) he told me he has run mid low 11s on juice with this tranny and it has less than 1000 miles, he only had it for 2 months....

Well, i thought this was a lock up, but i made him find out, and he told me its actually a nonlockup.... now all i know about nonlockup are 2 things....

better ETs, maybe more mph (not sure) but ur mileage goes to crap.... (which mine already is lol)

this is my daily driver, and i drive this car everywhere.... what do you think I do? forget the tranny, or get the tranny with the nonlockup....

also doesnt nonlockup trannies show lower dyno numbers?

thx!

Make sure you get a lock-up converter, other wise it'll suck gas like none other. Plus it'll drive normal when it's in D so it's better on the highway because it doens't run such high rpms.

Tranny would be fine, but i'd definitly get a difference converter

I would be carefull about artcar. I have heard some very bad stories about them from a guy that used to work there.

seal

really

*hmmm*

may i ask like what?

my buddy had a tranny from them which broke, they took it back for free, and sent him a 4l80e and a free computer thing...

well he was in customer service. and said the number of probelems with there trannys was unreall. He ended up quiting cause of all the BS with the company. I personnaly would buy **** that they had anything to do with.
