Well, after burning up the stock 4L60E, I had it built for a super street car. I burnt this up after about 8 months. Then, I had one built for all out drag racing with hardened internals, and wicked shift kit. Well, When shifting into 3rd, I blew up the hardened clutch drum after 7000 miles! This sucks.

 

OH man and I thought I was bad being on my 2nd one.

 

What are your mods??? Geesh I hope this doesn't happen to me! How much do they cost to build up on average?

woooooowww u doing good man cose i never had 4l60e last more than 15 passes or 2000 miles

 

Heads, cam, 3500 stall, bolt-ons, tuning, full weight, and a heavy foot. High RPM's make them run hotter, and mine shifts at about 6700. As far as rebuild costs, count on at least $1000. Mine have ranged from $1036-1600. If it does go out, and it will with abuse, find someone that will warranty their work. My builder gives a standard 5 year, 50,000 mile warranty on a stock daily driver. He gave me a 1 year, 12,000 mile warranty because I race mine. These warrantys are hard to find, but they do exist.

With your mods, your transmission will go out eventually. Save up some rebuild funds for when you need it. The 4L60E is a piece of junk all around.

 

 

Maybe you should find a better builder. Ive heard plenty of people runing FLP trans and they seem to last the longest.

Best auto trans you can buy. Lasts behind many 8,9,and 10 second cars. Same one LPE used in 8.9@155 vette. costs $2695, year guarantee, never had a problem with a Rossler. LPE and Cartek use them on their fast cars....

I had the 700R4 version in my 383 nitrous vette for many years with two freshenings (12 years of hard use)...

I am getting the 4L60E trans in 2 weeks for my nitrous 382 stroker Camaro....expect it to last for a long time!

 

full weight doesn't help your trans live.

 

consider urself lucky, i've only blown up one but a friend of mine went through NINE trannies in about a year.
