Killed my first 4L60E :(

My transmision started sliping right after i raced JONSEY last weekend, we did a dead stop then after that he wanted to do a roll w me and i did one and my transmision started sliping bad i think that the old 100shot put the trany in the grave yard
I just got back to school from taking my car to Higgins Chevrolet in Ironton OH my car still has waranty till May of 2005 thank goodness i hope they will put a new transmison in for me with no questions asked, we took of the nitrous and caped the cut off, and hid the main line so i hope the waranty works................

With a cam and headers I doubt they'll warranty the transmission. SOME dealerships will but most won't.

GOOD luck though!

me too

I did some thing similar last summer. I had just reported in to my temp duty sation in Jacksonville North Carolina comming from Pensacola Florida. I was on my way to the store when a mustang pulled up on a roll and pop his clutch slowed down and did it again. I drop it to drive and nail it, I heard a breaking noise as it shifted. I took him even with a premature up shift and we pulled up to the light together. He said nice car lets run them again so I droped it into 2nd to realy hook up locked the converter and launched hard I up shifted and the trany just broke all of 1st and second all I could hear is the motor spining

. I stop and find out overdrive is dead 1st 2nd on drive are gone

. Took it to the local GM dealer and it sat for 2 weeks for the waranty adjuster to show up, it was worth the wait cause I got a brand new trany gbut I had to wait another week for it to get there on a truck. Sorry for the long story!
