I've got about 700 runs on the one in our 11.20 bracket car and still going strong....were in Tampa, but we guarantee it. You'll be in good hands w/Performabuilt to if they are closer. We have 3 bracket cars w/our 4L60e's in them.

I'd suggest a sponsor first and foremost, but if you can't get a deal you're comfortable with, I'll build you one.

I appreciate it guys.

I didnt realize performabuilt was so close.

Really though, I have good parts, It just needs to be checked over because I'm not very confident in the builder. My first tranny from him failed less than 1000k and 4 track passes.

your a stand up dude PB2..... seriously though, i'm trying to figure out how i'm gonna approach my "friend" with all this. I kind of dont want to tell him he frickin sucks at building trannies. even though i shelled out 1100 for the build and I have that right. but he's supposebly some tranny guru that used to own a shop. anyway it's sitting on his bench and i think he should stick to stock rebuilds.

I guess I'll just run over and grab the tranny off his bench and tell him that im takin it elsewhere....but what about parts? do you have frictions and a band there you could sell me? otherwise I'll order some tonight. thanks for helping me out. you really don't understand how cursed I am. and i'm very thankful.

i got a kit from a guy. five pinion planets,beast,wide band, etc. I think the clutches were just alto clutches with thin steels, i think he ended up with 9 clutches in there.

For clutches, i'll run whatever setup you guys recommend.

It will be around next friday before I can deal with it I am pretty busy this week you could bring it to me and I can pick at it this week when I get the time. I would rather look at it before I get parts so I can get what I need the first time. We wil probably have to get a new seperator plate also no telling what your builder has drilled. I will get the clutches and band just get the tranny to me and a few dollars for parts I will need to get.

I'm going to Ocala Sunday Morning to help my sister move. If I take 40 over I will be passing right by Ormond Beach. Maybe I can drop it off on the way there or back?

My friend down here in Lauderdale builds a mean 4L60E, did mine, its rockin like day one after a year now, with ~500 RWHP. Lauderdale isn't that far. I had him use the best parts availablke for a 4L60E (not the hard parts), parts were about $400, I think he charged me like $500 labor for the rebuild, can't quite remember.
