4L65E/Vig 3200 installed! Well, I finally drove my Z tonite after a month of it sitting broken in my garage. The new tranny feels real good and i swear the Vig is stalling around 3600 or so (looser than my BROKEN TCS 3400). Thanx to all the people who gave me info about swapping the L65 into a an F-body!

- Hardened input shaft
- Hardened output shaft
- stronger Lower/Reverse roller clutch
- 7 clutches in 3-4 clutch pack instead of 6
- Hi-energy clutches instead of stockers
- deeper pan (2 quarts extra i believe, i installed a B+M that holds 3 quarts extra just for max cooling anyway)
- 5-pinion planet gears instead of 4-pinion
- upgraded sun gear
- recalibrated valve body operation (im guessing it means better quality shifts)
- Brand new, not a rebuild
- 12-month warranty
- Obviously all parts are genuine GM and not some rip off (like the chinese-made 5-pinion planets that have a reputation for exploding)
- Im not positive but i believe it also has a larger intermediate servo.
built to go behind the 6.0L and the LS6.

Overall good choice though. Let us know how it works.

The fact that the crate said "GMPP" leads me to beleive you got the Holden/GMPP trans (a good thing). Two more questions:
1) Do you remember the part number? Truck: 24217285, Holden/GMPP: 24221888.
2) Is there a serial number sticker on top? Truck: 613KZD......... Holden/GMPP: 613HZD.........

. In this case, the 380 ft-lbs of the 6.0L LQ9 found in the H2/Escalade/Denali. They're always capable of more than their artificial "rating". For the 4L65E, depending on the weight of the vehicle and a few other things, you're good to about 400hp/400ft-lbs. You probably won't see 100,000 miles at that power level, but it'll last longer than a "race-prepped" trans. Which is nothing against the race-trannies, they're just not intended for long term use.

i did get the GMPP one then because i know the part number was 24221888. also the tailhousing looked exactly like a 4L60 without the torque arm bolt holes. also im pretty sure there was an HZD on the sticker on top. do the holden applications use a longer shift lever or the same as the 4L60? mine had the longer one which had to be switched.
either way i guess its fairly conclusive i have the GMPP/Holden Tranny.
thanx for the help BAD APPLE.
