Auto pros- I havent broke a rear end yet.
I quit going through clutches.
Its faster out of the hole. Gained .2-.3 1/8th
On the go-go juice picked up a great deal .3-.4 faster
Auto cons- lost 5-6mpg on the highway
Chances of the 4l60e going out at anytime
lack of fun from banging gears
Overheats real quick racing.
6spd pro- Banging Gears
+5-6 more mpg
6spd con- Breaking a rearend every race.
Going through clutches.

Im happy with it lasting a year. I Give it hell. It has seen alot of abuse in one year. I have had a bunch of highway roll races and I cant even tell how many drag races its seen. But, Im dropping the transmission off in the morning to see whats wrong with it. And, I am having my stall redone.

Well, I got my tranny back from the rebuild shop. The problem wasnt in the transmisson It was my stall. I striped out some spline in there. But, I have it all back together now with a 3800 stall and I love it. It is 10x better than the 2800. I cant wait till the track opens back up.

LOL @ this thread. Wow, no wonder people think the 60e is crappy. My trans has been in 2 years with many 10 & 11 second passes. There are very few who can build em right but once it's right it's drama free. Reminds me it's about time to have mine flushed.
