what do they sound llike when they go out?
I was driving to work and took off from a stop sign and I heard a small bump noise then it made a vibration and a howl sound but only in first???
my tranny was rebuilt about 25000 miles ago and it had the stock PLan gear.

Ouch! I was going to replace my 4 gear set to the 5, but the supplier where I purchase my parts warned me about that move.
They have heard about this problem, and advised me to not replace my 4 gear until the "bug" get's worked out of the 5. Other shops has had problems with the OEM set.

I have been told it is not a OEM part. This trans was new and came with the car when I bought it, guy said the trans was supposed to handle 650 hp. Guess I must be making a tad over that huh? LMAO I'm gonna buy a burnt trans and get the OEM planetarys out of it!

usualy the powdered metal aftermarket planets will break.anyhow knowing how the plants work in a 4l60e will help track down the problem.was it the front or rear?in a 700 the 3.06 first gear is the produced by taking the held divided by the driven and adding one .this produces a 3.06 first gear with only one planetary set using the sun gear as input.the rear gear set is an idler in 1st.second is produced by the rear planet overdriving the 3.06 first gear ratio ,third is produced by locking 2 members of the front gearset forcing and releasing / driving the rear sun gear in direct drive and fourth is produced by overdriving the locked front planet.most tech have no idea how this gearset works,this is a very simple system although the first of its kind to reverse the held and driven to produce a high 1st gear via one gearset.

what models come with a 5 pin planetary? is it a heavy duty item found in
4wd or what? I am looking to find a burnt tranny I can get the planetary's out of, I think they are quite pricey new and I am sure you can buy a core for around $100 or less. Someone also told me that the 4 pin would hold upwards of 450 hp or more with no problems.
Any help here would be appreciated! Can't wait to get this thing on the road!
