Yeah this purches made me want to keep her after all,Im all spiced up and cant wait to do the install.One thing i forgot was my trans cooler,but i might just go thru Dave at TEP(core charge for trans).
I went with the 4T65E High Performance Street/Strip model
-Thorough inspection during dissassembly
-Any questionable or excessively worn hardpart is replaced
-Hardened 4th clutch shaft
-New Morse HyVo HV-093 V8 spec Gemini chain set
-Seals, gaskets, orings, and teflon sealing rings
-New USA made filter
-Borg Warner clutch plates and modified clutch stackup for improved shift feel
-Raybestos Zpack 3rd clutch set now standard in ALL High Performance rebuilds. Effective 1-01-11
-SPECIAL NOTICE!!!- The 4T60/65E Zpack was discontinued by Raybestos on 3-14-11.
We will continue to use this product until we are out of stock
-New Forward apply band
-New thrust washers
-Common failure bushings replaced, others inspected and replaced as needed
-New stator support bearing
-Select bearings replaced standard, others inspected and replaced as needed
-New aftermarket input sun gear
-Reconditioned input clutch piston
All new solenoids in valve body including
-Borg Warner PCS for 97-02, OE AC Delco/Bosch for 03+ model years
-Borg Warner TCC PWM solenoid
-OE AC Delco shift solenoids
-Pressure switch manifold cleaned and tested, replaced as needed
-Wiring harness thoroughly tested and replaced as needed
-Sonnax Sure-Cure kit which includes these upgraded parts
-TCC apply valve
-TCC regulated apply valve
-TCC relief valve
-Improved boost valve and sleeve
-AFL valve and sleeve
-Lube tube retainer, improved check *****, pump slide pivot pin
-New for 2011+ rebuilds! Oversized Sonnax Torque Signal valve on more aggressive buildups
-Transgo Shift Kit- We slightly modify this kit for improved high throttle shift feel on modified cars as well as
make a few other changes internally to quicken and firm up shift feel. The extra modifications alone make a
very significant difference in shift feel and keep clutch packs alive under high powered abuse. We set up
every transmission different to best match the vehicle it will be installed in and this is why we must have
your specific vehicle details as we do not build a one-fits-all model.
-12 Month / 15K mile warranty on ALL High Performance rebuilds! Effective on all orders placed after 3-06-11
-Upgraded input shaft +$449.99
The stock input shaft works well in lower powered applications but once your start getting into the
280-300whp range it becomes a major weak link and when it breaks it will leave you stranded.
Vehicle weight also has an effect on the input shaft and different vehicles will put more or less stress on this part
***EDIT***
Went with stock converter with tighter stall

I'll be pulling my trans out in a month or two and having it redone by a local shop with TEP parts.
The parts just came in a costs about 2500. I'll be pulling the motor as well, since I might be doing a little internal work.
