Built tranny or your going to spend double replacing multiple times. One of those gotta pay to play or find a way to put a stick in it.

Not much to add that would make you happy lol. I have a Circle D 6l80 in my car, seems to be holding up so far, but I haven't really beat on it too hard or many launches with DR's on it.

Either suck it up and pay the price for a built 6l80, or put a built 4l80 in it which would be cheaper and stronger, but be more of a hassle.

6-speed manual conversion from GXP. That's what I did after the PO replaced his trans twice and I rebuilt it only to have the torque converter puke and make me have to rebuild it again.

it should not have gone bad with 620hp.
Im making 700rwhp with my stock trans and I beat the hell out of it.

I would suggest contacting Rick Crawford, get one of his built trans, install a nice big trans cooler, Camaro ss pan and filter, and a really good tune. should last
