pick one or the other.
pick one or the other.
You'll get the best advice sticking to one post.
You are asking a lot of questions that need a lot of experienced help.
The guys who have earned their way to knowing whats wrong with your trans are not likely to give the info away for free. It's time consuming, and it gains them nothing. And the fact is since you'll be doing all the work it may gain you nothing so everyone loses in the end.
I'm not a sponsor, I used to build transmissions in my spare time because I like to, I learned the hard, expensive way. You need to read a lot, search the forums, google, go with what works in the real world-not what the rebuild manual says.
Or go with a sponsor here and be done with it and have a warranty.

well these were two questions and didnt want one being overlooked like so often does.And i doubt this website is founded on making a quick buck for the sponsors. This site is for information and questions. I dont see the big problem with me asking a few questions on upgrading my tranny and a brief diagnosis...picked

ok here is the deal. i have a 94 4l60e that i am going to be rebuilding myself in a few weeks after i piece together a budget performance kit. i have mainly done basic freshening up rebuilds before except for 2 trannys that i had to replace busted parts.So i am still learning.now what i am in need of advice on is any problem areas and areas that are related to my tranny that lost fourth gear,started slipping in first but held second under heavy throttle,and also had a reocurring no 1-2 shift under wot.there was also a kinda whiring noise at idle coming from the tranny which has been there since i got it.but anyways if anybody can give me some ideas on problematic areas that will need attention or ideas on what might all be wrong with it it would be a huge help. thanks

check out our rebuild kit. Probably a little overkill for your budget build, but it will give you an idea of where to start.
