It's been asked, I think the general concesus was that the gearing doesn't perform as great as you'd expect- and you'd be better of just rebuilding a 4L60E.

IMO 4l60e is better for the track, 6l80e would be great on the highway though...

Anything can be done. Anything. But it will not be done on a budget. Thats for sure.

The 6L80E will fit anywhere a 4L80E will fit ... so since people have put in 4L80E in F-Bodies, a 6L80E will also fit. You would need a transmission controller either from a GM vehicle or aftermarket to be able to use it. Price, it would be quite a bit more than a built 4L60E.

george, the 6sp trans has no tc. it starts out using a huge electric motor and then starts to use the pump to work the trans after the car is moving. john

So basically forget about stalling it up, and shift extension?

And how do you get your torque multiplication then?
