Default RPM Transmissions

I need a quality built 4L60e as I get set to pass 500rwhp, and maybe end up at 700 for short duration, but will be content with 500 daily.

RPM are often recommended on this site but I've had 3-4 emails bounce back and no response. How the heck does anyone communicate with them via email?

Jeremy - your email looks to be down?

Before someone says call, my time zone is 12 hours apart and I prefer to get answers in writing. Thanks

I'm not sure about RPM but I know most of the industry is slammed right now with orders from all the other shops I talk to.
Maybe their email is overloaded. I know we answer literally hundreds of emails a day and probably 75-100 calls a day. Seems it's all I do anymore...

Bazman, Sorry to hear you are having trouble getting with me. Make sure you are putting the "S" on the end of "transmissions" in my email Jeremy@rpmtransmissions.com . That is a common mistake. You are more than welcome to shoot me a PM here on LS1tech.

Send me a PM or email and I will respond the second I receive it.

Thanks!

Thanks Jeremy, you were right about the "s"

PM sent and look forward to hearing from you. According to all my sources, nobody in my country has been able to build a 4L60e that can last once power goes up around 500rwhp or more. So a few people will be watching mine with interest (a few tuners included who now have no real option for their customers).

Cheers

Well I did dialog with the 3 top vendors recommended on this site, and Jeremy communicated the best and gave me confidence that RPM Transmissions will give me something I will be happy with, so I order their Level VI today.

Looking forward to feeling the car at wide open throttle without having to torque manage the power out during shifts. I'm impressed how well the stock 4L60e has held up lol

Jeremy lied to me!!!




He told me it was going to take 3 weeks to build my trans last week.....



and it's built and ready to ship already - in a week!! :-)

yay


So far RPM Transmissions have over delivered, can't wait to get it in the car and tune it then run it!! :-)

(It's a Level VI 4L60e for a turbo LS1). Will give feedback on the trans as a few folk over here might also want one.

You can't beat the service from those guys at RPM.. I deal with Todd over there and he is always quick on the return emails and phone calls... Very knowledgeable as well..

I haven't tested my RPM Level 7 on the track yet but I really like it on the street.. Putting about 1000 crank HP thru it..

Proof is in the pudding tho, we'll see how it holds up on the strip.
