Default Need some Help

Here is the story in a nutshell, i have a 99' TA with a 408 putting out 500hp/500+torque and I have been through 3 trannys. The first was the factory 4L60-e , obviously that one was gonna die, then i went to the TH350 with a TCI stall built by Texas-Speed. Great tranny only problem is I need a 4rth gear, i live in Hawaii gas is 3.25 a gallon. Also, The sensor wouldnt connect to the tranny and i bought the drive shaft adaptor but I am to dumb to install it, so i had no odometer/speedometer readings. then i said screw it I am goin to find a deal on a 4l60-e built and bought one from www.transperformance.net a level 3 which looked good. For 2k it was at my doorstep. He neglected to tell me it had no bellhousing, tailshaft and i had to get a convertor. 1k later I installed it and with in 2 weeks it died, found metal shavings in the pan, leaks all over and it didnt feel like it had a shift kit .I GOT HUSTLED Now , i have 2 trannys sitting at my house and i need to find a tranny that actually will handle my needs. All i NEED is the tranny itself, no stall, bellhousing, tailshafts. Also, I have CORE . Anyone know a good place to get one for a good price?

Will they waranty it I see they claim a two year warranty? I dont know much about them other than there we site at one time had many elements copied directly from ours and another companies site which was corrected! And a few other small issues. Have you contacted them? As for another trans with the shipping to H I am not sure thats really feasable. We offer units with no core or core charge you may want to look at if you cant work out anything with them.

At first i tried to contact them and they were answering, as soon as i told him of the problem his phone stopped working and now i cant get a hold of them. i believe its a bogus site and the guy just hustled me. do you sell just a valve body. and which one would you recommend for about 650/650 thats prolly the max i will put to it.

If its full of metal you are gonna need more that a valve body and as for a trans level 2 mi level 3 preferred. Sorry you cant get hold of him. have you tried calling from a different number?

Our level 3 is our highest. and while yes you are pushing a 4l60e hard there it should be fine and you dont have to worry we arent going anywhere and always answer the phone or call you right back . Ideally honestly is you are planning any further buildup at all you should consider a 4l80e conversion. But Our level 3 should be suitable. In either case read our warranty think it over and let me know. you can read all you need on our website linked below
And yes we do ship to hawai I would need to get and exact address to tell you what additional shipping would be as its a little higher than the mainland usa.
Thanks
