It is a pricey conversion for sure. There is a lot of work that goes into that whole conversion and the price tag comes with the R&D that went into it. Try to post this on the corvette forum. I believe there are a couple other companies that have done the conversion kit themselves. Vince

lmao.... I dont doubt the time and money put into researching that unit. But really? 27 thousand dollars for a transmission and some installation parts? I better get some sucky sucky and a lifetime warranty on everything on my car for that price. Thats ridiculous. Who has some petroleum jelly for the poor soul who buys this? He will need it.

Yeah I could almost get a 25.5 Backhalf roller for almost that much. Then it would go really fast. Yeah ummm no. I will have to pass on the 4l80e.

save your money....first hand...I have one and paib 12,000. I had to put 3000.00 into it to get it right!
The picture isnt even correct. It uses a stock flexplate...not the one in the picture. The two piece tube needed to be changed to a one piece.
It has been a very frustrating install......and I was on my own!

Thanks for Catching that!!
Gearstars web guy typed the price incorrect it is $17,500.00
Gearstar is the exclusive builder and sale point, as we have sold all Patents and rights to this 4L80-e C/5 C/6 transaxle conversion and Yank only builds the converters but was the products design team with help from the GM Motorsports Group.
The unit comes with a full 2 year warranty and 3 Year on the converter.

I actually just ordered 3 of these, one for my vette, one for my wife's vette, and the other to be used as a center peice for our kitchen table. You guys want one? I'll order another if you need me to, no problem.
