I drill the plate to let more fluid flow and improve upon the internal leaks, put improved clutch packs and hard parts in. Keep it simple.
Huh? My tranny has 167k on it and has been stalled and shift kitted for 125k. Dragstrip passes too numerous to count, daily driving short trips around town, and the unit has never hiccupped.

My installer followed all of Dana's instructions to the letter and the result has been satisfying performance year after year.

well that’s a first. That’s definitely not typical. And I’m referring to the 4l60, the 4l80 seems to do good withba kit. I’ve had to reverse shift kits in numerous units when they didn’t last from other builders. Just my experience. I’ve only built 60 or so of them.
