4L60E Stand Alone Line Pressure Hey guys just wanted to throw out a couple questions about running a 4l60E hot wired to run off of a set of relays and grounds. Use will be for Demolition Derby use and all i would need is 1st gear and reverse. What would be the negative effects of running a stock transmission with full line for this intended use? Longevity? Any way to turn down the line pressure mechanically to make the transmission live longer? TIA.....

First and reverse only?
You could do that with 0 electronics and have every gear be fwd via locking the shift valves and doing a couple other things to the vb
Bases on the fact that this is a derby car with a 60e I'm going to assume you're just looking for the lease amount of work possible. In which case...it will work just fine to run it fixed line pressure.
You don't need a standalone controller either. You can just wire up the pressure switch manifold to provide the ground path you need to control the solenoids

No need to shift with our small track/tire size combo! When needed this trans will go from 1st to reverse and back to 1st multiple times throughout the derby. My main concern would be with how long this would work at full line pressure?!
