"Built" 4L60E, Worth it?
Hello.
I've been seriously considering a torque converter for my 98 formula.
I have read that it can be dangerous to a stock transmission.
So I found this built 4L60E on cragslist.
It already comes with a 4000 stall.
So this could potentially save me money.

Is it worth it?
Or am I better of with a Yank SS3600 and a tranny cooler?
Thank you

If your stock trans is in good shape I'd run that with the ss3600 converter.
Used transmissions and converters scare me. Too many shady people out there saying works great then it burns up in 50 miles.
In my 2 cars I have FLT lv5's both with 4k stalls. Nearly 10k miles this year no issues or regrets.
Spend the money once.

4l60e's are good on F-Body cars, there is people pushing those trannys to the limits and they wont break them! Of course, they do tend to brake down like anyother part out there, it just depends how you treat it, if your getting a built 4l60e thats good, more resistance to higher power what mods do you have in your car?

But my winter mod list consists of;
LT Headers
ORY Pipe
3.73's
3600 or 4000 torque converter (possibly)
SO even with these mods i'll only be pushing 350 hp IF that.
