Default need help deciding what to do...second gear slipping bad

K i have 2002 z28 Auto!!

after i bought the car 2weeks had gone by and it started to slip in second gear. It was still under warranty ( used car one i had to pay 50%) Well they said that a eletric part had gone bad and caused a drop in pressure which burn my clutches( which was second gear bands)


So now 3 months later and the damn second gear is slipping again. I need some advice on the matter. I dont wanna put it back stock...im scared the **** is gonna break again. CAr has only 72000 miles.

Default second gear problem

The slip in second gear is not usually caused by an electrical problem , and the dealer would probably not have payed for a "Quality" rebuild . Most just want the cheapest fix just to get you out of their hair . If you get a good rebuild done on your 4L60E it should give you a long service life !!
You say you don't want to go back stock . Our shop ,as well as some of the other sponsors on LS1 can build you any thing that you need . Just give us a call and we can point you in the right direction !!!!

As our signature says thats what we do lol. And unless you have alot of money or plan on a massive build up I would stay with a 4L60E

I'd stick with the 4L60E. Great streetablility w/overdrive, and no custome fab to make it mount right. Definitely get a built unit, cuz believe me I know, you'll just keep breaking the stock one, esp. with heads/cam or poweradder. A well built 4L60E from a good place can handle quite a bit now a days.
