burning up clutches Just had a question on what needs to be replaced so that the 4l60 e holds up im on my third trans,evry time cluthches are burned,bout a shift kit already and still the same,car was runnig good till today hit rev limitter when shiftting to second and third had never done that with this trans so i thought with the shif kit it was going to last but its back to the same thing
There are many possibilites. But the fact is there is more to building a 4l60e than a shift kt and clutches. What kinda power are you making.

I have a friend who works for gm he repairs the transmissions their but he just does it the factory way,thats why i was trying to see what needs to be done to them so they can last longer?
There is more than just a clutch set that is used for a stronger transmission. A "stock" built 4l60 isn't going to handle a cam and spray for very long. I would suggest checking out performabuilt's website or some of the other sponsor's website and they will tell you what all goes into their different "level's" of transmission as well as horsepower/torque capability.

Not much of a question that it is an issue with the build. There are several techniques that must be observered.
Simply installing the best parts is not enough in most cases... give us a call.
Not sure about his family ties... years ago I worked with the fellow I mentioned... wonderful guy!
