Finnaly got the nitrous in and was about to hit the track and BAM there goes my stall and my tranny.... WTF should i do now? My options are 6 speed swap, or buy a built 4l60e. I am sort of on a budget but i dont want this thing to break again. I only hit the track a few times a year, its more of a cruise occasional show car. I would love to have a 6 speed, but i dont want my quarter times to drop. Anyone have any opinions? Or any places I could buy a tranny that will hold, or somewhere that will do a 6 speed conversion? I have a few bolt ons and a 100 shot, possible cam coming soon.

Ive done a few 6 speed swaps before. If you need any help let me know.

Your car should have no problem with a basic built tranny and good tune with the nitrous.Probly blew from a wrong tranny tune since it should be different when spraying.

You can try a good built 4ljunkie, but I have seen too many people have too many problems to feel that any of them are really reliable. If you can find one, I'd look for a 4l80 and just bite the bullet. If you can get lucky and find one out of a relativly low mileage truck, a quick freshen up will be all it will need and it will stay together for years and take anything that you want to throw at it.

Make a big upgrade now, spend a little more and never worry again regardless how much powr ya throw at it. If you can afford it, overbuild it...

ok well thanks for the responses, i think ill stick to a 4l shitty e for now, ill probably order one from one of the sponsors, unless a 4l80 appears....

dont mean to hijack the thread, but im curious. If money wasnt an object, would swapping in a new 6 speed automatic be worth it? Are they any stronger or weaker than a 4l60?

A correctly built 4L60 can easilly handle a mid to high 10 second car for a long time.Transmission tuning has alot to do with it.

If money is an object, then a mild rebuild would definetly be the cheaper way to go. Like others already said, they will last a long time on any fast street car.

This is absolutely true.

I've had my fair share of 4l60E stuff. My advice is to get it built at a repidable local place. FLT is having a sale, they are a good sponsor if you decide to go that route.

They can act a little funky on the spray and like Slowhawk said the tune plays a huge role.

A M6 swap will run you a good chunk of change too. Enough to warrant a 4l80e swap.

BTW if you need another converter asap I got a TCI SSF3500 just sitting around that I'll sell cheap, if your interested.
