I just bought an S10 with a blown 4l60e. I am getting ready to have it rebuilt, but am curious what folks have paid to have it done. I'd assume price should be comparable regardless of what the tranny came out of. I know there are differences but price shouldn't vary.

Looking for prices on a complete rebuild including parts, torque converter, and labor.

My truck is a 96 4x4.

Thanks.

bottom dollar for a stock rebuild is $650, add upgrades and other fun stuff prices begines to climb.

i just got my 4l60e rebuilt. its in a 1994 z71. i got it rebuilt for a good price and had alot of TSB upgrades and other upgrades installed for 1689.08. this included labor and a 12month/12k mile warranty. look for a transmission shop thats part of the ATRA (automatic transmission rebuilders association)

My tranny guy in Lauderdale rebuilt mine with the best parts available for the 4L60E. Parts were around $350. He charged me $400 to do it all. The tranny is friggin awesome.

i wouldnt really count this when someone wants to know how much it cost to rebuild a 4l60e. Sounds like a friend gave you a VERY good deal!

Quickin

Parts costs are parts costs......$400 for one days work doing anything that isn't back breaking labor....is a damn nice amount of money to make for anyone, unless a buttload of company overhead has to be tossed in.

I think maybe there was a miss understanding at least there was for me(sometimes i have a brain fart)lol but I was thinking he ment 400 dollars pats and all lol

you said the parts were 350$, he charged you 400$ for everything. How again did he make 400$? Looks to me like he made 50$, sounds like a damn nice friend to build a 4l60e for only 50 bucks.

I understand now 350 in parts plus 400 labor and agreed for and individual thats not bad at all for a days work more than i make lol

If it won't go into OD then you paid too much like me.

Quickin

Yes, $400 for his labor. But actually he also had to put a new planetary in because it got hot as ***** and he thought it may be weakened. It was $40 used. So he made $360 for his labor.

Yup, we still can't figure the damn lock-up problem out. When its cold it locks up like a champ in both "3" and "D". When its warmed up it either won't lock-up in "3" or is very very slight and it gets sluggish going into lock-up in "D".

performabuilt posted in another thread about the valve in the pump sticking after its hot. We changed that valve too I think, if its the valve that has that ridiculous teflon gasket that you have to warm up and stretch to get onto the valve and into the groove.

Only other thing we can think of is a worn valve body and fluid is getting by the checkballs when warm.

Oh well, it won't be in my car too much longer anyway.

Ah, i see, i misunderstood. 400$ sounds right, i try to make around 400 when i build one.

Quickin
