Default what kinda tranny should i build

i want to build a tranny that i could put a manual valve body(i think thats what it is) so that i would have to manual shift from first to second to third but still would also like a overdrive...reason for wanting this is because i hate how my car shifts from first to second when im pullin out from so where

I went with a Performabuilt stage two 4L60E and would highly recommend it to you. I believe they also offer a manual valve body for it now as well...

Those plugging Performabuilt, how long have you had them?? Does you car actually make power and see miles??

Seen a LOT of tranny shops come and go, even a bad tranny buuild will last awhile and usually get great feed back for a few months. Not saying Performabuilt is bad just saying backup your claims.

I have 4.5 years and something like 45K miles on a ProBuilt Automatics, the last two years of which with the current power output. Use basic fluids like Mobil dino or Walmart fluid, nothing fancy, no kevlar, no billet servos, no fancy clutches, no "beast", stock 4 pinion planetary etc.

I'm running their 3000 9.5" stall on my stock trans. It drives good and locks up nice and firm. I ran the times in my sig with it. There are plenty of cars with bigger stalls from more popular vendors that can't match my 60' times. I give it a thumbs up.

The 60e with the transgo HD3 should give you what you want and you can even let the PCM continue to control lockup we have a few out there Good combo.
