Default RPM transmissions does great work and great service

I had a Rossler 4L60E in my 2000 Z28, two years and less than 5,000 miles ago. Went to two drag tracks with it and some street driving. Two weeks ago the tranny cut loose while doing a 45 mph kick. The "ears" on the input drum all broke off. After spending $3,771 (using my tranny as a core) two years ago at Rossler's, I decided to have Rodney take a look at it. They found the problems, let me see the entire tear down and most of the build up process (very cool to see). They showed me all the parts that Rossler uses and what they use and the reasons for the diferences. Needless to say, I spent a LOT less getting my tranny rebuilt with Rodney than what I spent at Rossler's!

Its nice to see someone in the high performance community take this kind of approach with its customers. The next car I get will undoubtedly have a RPM tranny in it as well.

Just for future, I am doing a TH400 conversion that will come in about at what you paid for a built 4L60E. IMHO the TH400 is a far superior tranny.
Sorry for the problems, maybe this can help someone else thinking of going the way you did.

Yeah, the TH400 is the best option for high hp cars....just hated giving up OD....the 4L80E is the VERY best, but awfully expensive.

I agree.. RPM Transmission is outstanding when it comes to customer service. I bought a built T56 from them and it worked great.

They are located in a small town, Sulphur Springs Indiana, just outside of Anderson Indiana (not too far from Indianapolis).
