I have heard that with higher hp cars the third gear clutch tends to burn up fairly fast. i was wondering if there is a fix for this. I have fully built a 4l60 dont wanna toss it in until i address this issue

Short answer - Z-pak man. 3-4 clutches suck...period. More clutches in this pack takes care of this.

is that the pack where every plate is steel on one side and clutch on the other?

Actually there is much, much more to it than the clutches themselves. Years ago I spent over a full year and many thousands of dollars developing a high performance 60e. The problem is multidimensional.

The shape of the input drum will tend to cause the 3/4 clutches to apply the clutches in high rpm situations when it is not in 3rd or 4th. The 2/3 shift is one of the most complicated shifts there is. There is a certain "choreography" or timing of events that must take place so that the clutches are not abused.

Lot's of builders claim to be able to build a 60e for high horsepower combinations, but they fall way short. Thats why these transmissions get a bad name. There are even some sponsors here that struggle with it and havve a high warranty return rate because they do not understand the unit.
