Bone stock 4L60E from a 2001 Camaro SS, in a '96 GMC Full-Size Short Bed. Street truck use & some towing. What would the first three mods, in order of importance, to the tranny be? Thanks for the input guys. (P.S.:engine is a 5.7 LS1 from the same Camaro SS)

 

shell/sun gear, clutches/bands and converter

 

deep pan and oil cooler

 

I totally agree.

 

later trans has 5 gear planets, vette servo.
I just did my 05 trans.[05 Hummer H2] Tech said that the above came in 03 and up.. Maybe, add them to yur trans.
He also tig welded the sun gear to the shell. Said he's not had 1 fail in 5 yrs of that mod.
He also changed out the bushings to wider ones, and added the wide band.
He said "this is about as good as it gets"..
My car is at 3200#, and has the 6.0/LQ4 engine.

 

deep pan, converter, and a trans cooler. bare minimum a cooler at least.

 

+1. You should be able to find a deep truck pan on e-bay pretty easily.

 

T56 Swap..............

 

Converter, Derale Pan and Corvette Servo are the changes I have made to mine.

would you add a cooler besides the one in the radiator, or would you skip the one in the radiator alltogether? I already have the truck pan on it and it is from a 06 model

 

skip the one in the RAD

 

trans go shift kit.

 

Call Bowler Transmissions would be my first mod. I've gone thru 2 trannys with my LS7, Mark at Bowler builds them correct the first time- dyno tunes them before they develop a problem bolted up. You get what you pay for.
