Transmission chain Can somebody tell me if a 2006 monte carlo ss 5.3L with the 4t65e transmission has a 7/8" Drive chain? I am thinking of getting my transmission rebuilt buy ZZ Performance but want to know what type of drive chain I currently have.

ZZ Performance. TEP is to far away from where I live. ZZ Performance is about 45 minutes away. I would to have the tranny rebuild, pulled and put back in, and tuned, as I do not have the knowledge to do it my self. I would love to go with Dave as he is a great guy and really knows his stuff but the drive would be a real pain for me.

*sigh*
Well, if you want to take shortcuts because you're worried about distances, then the more power to you, lol.
Why even chance it?

^^ Has ZZP done a lot of bad work? We all know TEP is the preferred builder for these trannies - but he isn't the only capable person in the world to build one. Unless there's a bad rep for ZZP on the GP forums that I'm unaware of, I'm happy that he's going to a place that also specializes in WBodies and not the local AAMCO, ya know?

Never mind that. Why even chance it with this transmission?

Understood completely. If I still had the Impala, I'd be allover TEP when the trans went out. But if I wasn't able to do it myself, I'd consider local options. If I were the OP, I'd have someone local install a TEP trans. Game over. Luckily for me, when the TBSS trans fails, the best builder is only 2 1/2 hours from me.

But if your 4L70E goes, at least you have the 6L80E as an option now!

True, but isn't this still in development? It really is not a direct bolt on part? right? I remember reading the thread, but I thought it was not all ironed out yet.
