Stall a high mileage transmission? My 4l60e has around 135K on it. I have no problems with it and it shifts good. I recently dropped the pan and changed the filter and fluid and everything looked ok, no burnt fluid or metal stuck to the magnet.
There was a little sludge in the pan and i could feel a few small metal particles in the sludge.
Also added a 26K Hayden cooler in front the of a/c condenser
My question is would it be ok to add a mild stall 3000-3200 on a high mileage trans like this or would I just it blow up ?
Has anyone put a mild stall on a high mileage trans and what was their experience?

The stall will be harder on your transmission and probably shorten its life. I don't know if I would drop the money on a brand new stall but if you can find a good used one that might be a better option.

Yea, there is no real way to know. If it appears your trans is in good shape and you have a good cooler to go with the stall I don't see why not. Like others said I would save some money just in case it does go.

193k miles on the clock now running with a 3600 tci that i bought used. just had it rebuilt before i installed it along with fresh synthetic fluid, a deep pan, shift kit, and a cooler. no problems yet, and ive had it on for a little over 10k i believe.
