there not in florida though. I've already got 1300+ in this tranny and I need someone to inspect and fix any problems with it. Money is tight and I can't afford to ship it anywhere.

I've got about 700 runs on the one in our 11.20 bracket car and still going strong....were in Tampa, but we guarantee it. You'll be in good hands w/Performabuilt to if they are closer. We have 3 bracket cars w/our 4L60e's in them.

I'd suggest a sponsor first and foremost, but if you can't get a deal you're comfortable with, I'll build you one.

I appreciate it guys.

I didnt realize performabuilt was so close.

Really though, I have good parts, It just needs to be checked over because I'm not very confident in the builder. My first tranny from him failed less than 1000k and 4 track passes.

your a stand up dude PB2..... seriously though, i'm trying to figure out how i'm gonna approach my "friend" with all this. I kind of dont want to tell him he frickin sucks at building trannies. even though i shelled out 1100 for the build and I have that right. but he's supposebly some tranny guru that used to own a shop. anyway it's sitting on his bench and i think he should stick to stock rebuilds.

I guess I'll just run over and grab the tranny off his bench and tell him that im takin it elsewhere....but what about parts? do you have frictions and a band there you could sell me? otherwise I'll order some tonight. thanks for helping me out. you really don't understand how cursed I am. and i'm very thankful.

i got a kit from a guy. five pinion planets,beast,wide band, etc. I think the clutches were just alto clutches with thin steels, i think he ended up with 9 clutches in there.

For clutches, i'll run whatever setup you guys recommend.

It will be around next friday before I can deal with it I am pretty busy this week you could bring it to me and I can pick at it this week when I get the time. I would rather look at it before I get parts so I can get what I need the first time. We wil probably have to get a new seperator plate also no telling what your builder has drilled. I will get the clutches and band just get the tranny to me and a few dollars for parts I will need to get.

I'm going to Ocala Sunday Morning to help my sister move. If I take 40 over I will be passing right by Ormond Beach. Maybe I can drop it off on the way there or back?

My friend down here in Lauderdale builds a mean 4L60E, did mine, its rockin like day one after a year now, with ~500 RWHP. Lauderdale isn't that far. I had him use the best parts availablke for a 4L60E (not the hard parts), parts were about $400, I think he charged me like $500 labor for the rebuild, can't quite remember.
