how much power can a stock 4l60e trans deal with?

performabuilt

The stock 4l60e will generally handle 350 to 400 hp with torque managment on . Converters and the removal of torque management decrease this figure dramatically .

yup.

install a tranny cooler and transgo shift kit and cross your fingers.

could also help to get a tranny temp gauge so you can monitor how hot it gets, and allow it to cool down if necessary.

I'm hoping it will hold up to my cam, currently have close to full bolt on's but once I swap the cam I am gonna try not too launch it very much, if ever. This is the reason why I am going to hold off on the S/C or Heads because I know not only is the trans gonna to go but also the rear end. I wish I could just put on a S/C and not worry at all. I'd have one by now if that were the case. Its an expensive hobby, get ready for **** to break!

how bad does taking off the torque managment make it. What exactly does it do. i took it off and notice no diffrence

torque management retards the timing to reduce engine power out put during shifts this reduces the strain on the drive train .

i'd almost be willing to bet TM is unnecessary for the 1-2 shift. maybe for everything else it makes sense, but on my stock trans this thing snaps into 2nd so hard, and it has done it so many times. i wish i had time to put the rock-on in, because that big *** band looks like it'll ****** my teeth out on the 1-2 shift.

it will also depend on how high your gonna spin your motor, 4l60e's do not like high rpms.

with an auto, the 10 bolt should hold up ok as long as your not running slicks and beating on it continuously with a cam only setup. but everything is hit and miss... just rmeember once it goes build it right the first time and forget about it.

"Specified" max shift speed for stock 4L60s is 6100 RPMs

It is ALL hit and miss. I have a 400 rwhp cam only car spinning to 6600 rpms with no torque management and I've had ZERO problems. Keep the tranny cool and hope you have a well built 4l60e.

we broke a 4L60E on my brother's 401rwhp CETA back in 2004... car had only... 2000miles on odo... we built it just like my 700r4... no problems since then and he is running in the high 6XX rwhp...

dannyz

Don't know how much hp I have, but has held up over a year so far with the mods in my sig.

I hope my A4 holds up with just the Yank 4200stall, long tubes,and true duals I'm about to install? I do have a tranny cooler made for a motorhome going on it though?

DO NOT remove torque management on a stock tranny. I learned the hard way, mine died within a couple weeks with roughly 330hp/330tq.
Installing a Performabuilt Level II tranny tomorrow.
