4L60E parts availability and possible subs? Went to buy some parts this week and seems there are some shortages.
New Ac Delco reverse drum was out of stock locally and I guess on back order. I found one and had it shipped in.
Is the aftermarket replacements any good? Years ago I thought they had issues with the Lugs spreading out on performance stuff.
In the past I have had no issues with the regular bonded pistons. My local supplier was out of the 3-4 piston and gave me a Blue Hi-per bonded unit instead. the other 2 pistons are regular black rubber. I have never used them before. Are these any good or should I track down a normal one???
Between Price increases and parts availability I bought all the performance stuff elsewhere. It's getting tough to support my local supplier

What brand was your reverse input.
The ACDelco is a tiwan product and so is the quality aftermarket...because they are the exact same thing, with a different sticker on the box
the blue piston is fine...but a waste of money imo

The Reverse input was in a generic White box. I think it was something like $58. Had the same Square lube hole but the outer finish seems Odd, possibly a coating? I didn't want to mess with it too much since I wasn't buying it and he had to resale it.
I forgot about the pressure sensor manifold too. I could only get aftermarket one. Same type of packaging, generic white box. This I do need so I purchased it. Haven't found a delco unit yet.

The Ac Delco Drum just arrived. It does say Taiwan on the same yellow bag as the aftermarket unit. The O.D. is also Ground on the Delco unit. I believe the aftermarket unit was just a natural finish.
