I'm about to buy a performabuilt
I'm about to buy a performabuilt My tranny went out in my lt1 so.. "never replace, Always upgrade" or w/e the saying is.. yeah im getting a performabuild level 2 4l60e. I was wondering waht everyone thought about them.
There is still time to stop me if there is a problem i have not ordered yet. I just want some opinions.

It is possible with a modifed t50 and a little heat but you are correct the t50 plus is great.

got mine about a month ago, (stage 2 with a 3500 stall) and I love it. it shifts great when your cruisin, and when your on it. As far as longevity I cant say. bought the performabuilt after I put some drag radials on and the damn trans came apart after 2 days (already rebuilt it twice). Definately recommend you get a built unit from one of the better known distributors, rebuilds and factory units arent worth a damn on a modded f-body.

had my level and 3500 stall 2 months now and i love it. ( I have only put a few hundred miles on it put it is still there) with my bolt on car my 315 nittos still dont stand a chance against that stall.
I just finished installing my level 2 yesterday. I had a fresh vig 3600 converter so I put that back in untill I get my Yank sent out and flushed. I drove the around for a couple hours taking it real easy then brought it back to my garage to check for leaks or other problems and let it cool down. Everything was pretty much cool. I went out to my favorite test spot and did a couple WOT runs. It shifts good, no problems. The rear seal supplied with the trans is leaking slightly, I'll get a new one from GM tomorrow. I'm pretty happy so far, the leaking tailshaft isn't a big dilema. I should be making some 1/4 mile passes on Wednesday, maybe even Tuesday if the weather clears up.
Glad is going well , On the tail seal look carfully at the yoke for any sign of wear right where the seal rides when you go to change it , Also strange as this sound if its just a tiny amount if may actually quit after you drive and do a few cool down cycles I have seen it before

I will check on the double verse single lip seal I didnt know which we were using I know we use precision industries seal kits but I will find out , Interesting

Well, my trans just took a crap as well. I took it to get flushed a few days back, then I tried some WOT shifts, with no luck. The trans runs fine normal driving, but at WOT, just revs like if I'm in neutral. I've been looking around, and I will be probably going with a Performabuilt one as well.
Give us a call we will take care of you.
