Tranny Advice Have 4L60E w/ stock converter on my 02' Firehawk which appears to have taken a dump this weekend. 
(60K mi BTW) Car is pulling about 407rwhp (at last dyno).
A few questions/comments:
* Never really looked into tranny options (until it broke of course) so I wanted some advice on what I should be looking for. I don't race very often (track about 3 times a year) but want something strong enough w/o getting ridiculous.
* I saw mention of some sponsors that have great deals on trannys. Any recommendations? I'm located in So Cal but would have no problems ordering online.
* Forgive my ingorance but other than 4L60E I don't have a friggin' clue on what to look for. I've seen references to 700R4 on a few links and don't want to go thru any crazy conversion kits, just want something strong, economically reasonable and compatible. Only keeping the car about another year so I'd really like to keep the cost (for parts at least) under $1500, cheaper but reliable would be better
Whatever advise would be greatly appreciated. - Thanks
