Stock settings on mine would shift at 125MPH. I have
gone through that shift only once or twice under full
pedal.
I noticed that my 3-4 shift had no torque management
applied, in the factory settings. In my opinion this is a
mistake, I added TM to the 3-4 shift (but I have also
made some adjustments to the amount of spark pull,
so TM is not so bothersome).
I think the 3-4 under full power, without any kindness,
might be hard on the trans.

hey guys little side question for you 4l60e guys, my car is getting sluggish these days, and just of recent when the car goes into shifting to 3-4 the tranny feels like it is shuddering almost like it doesnt want to go...also, if i were to give it a WOT, it kinda sputters, and shudders even harder, and the check guages light kinda flashes, im thinking it might be either the band, or clutches or maybe even the torque converter, i had the tranny rebuilt last year, and didnt have any problems with it..i wish i could explain with more detail to what exactly the tranny is doing, but like i said, it feels like a jerking motion, and only does right after 50mph when the lockup range for the converter kicks in, and at wot, any opinion or tips would be appriciated

Flashing SES indicates misfires. Misfires will make the
converter unlock & relock (shuddering?). Sluggishness
is probably related. Look for some degradation or drift
that is messing with mixture - anything from a cruddy
old fuel filter to a K&N, loose plug wire, etc.

grained Formica). I think I would probably shop for a
crate tranny that had "all the good stuff" and a
good warranty & reputation. I'm more trusting of a
"remanufacturing" type operation than a "repair" one.
A lot of the built-4L60E vendors are pretty proud to
tell you about what they put in and why; a useful
resource for building a "checklist".
