Camaro_ZL2

alright today i was on my way to the muffler shop. while getting on the highway i always put it in 3rd and merge in cuz people he drive crazy. well anyways then i put it back into over drive, suddenly while on the highway i wanted to speed up so i press on the gas and my car just revs like its in neutral and im like wtf(i think i blew it) but then i call some friend and well it does kick in but at 5.5rpm so i dunno what wrong with it i added fluid so what do you all think the prob can be?

fried clutches. if you had to add fluid and ran it for a while with it low then clutch pack may be toast.

I dont know what you think is going to be "cheaper to convert" to, but be ready to drop a minimum of $1500 unless you have a spare trans laying around

Camaro_ZL2

cuz i got offered by my cousin the whole t56 conversion kit for 800 with tranny and everything i dunno what to do though

Sell me the conversion for 800 and I'll give you my "built 4l60E and converter" Just don't read up on my trans problems over the past 2 years.

You can get a used 4L60E for $400 with exchange.

wow where?

That's a good deal, however there'll be a bit of work, when it comes to installing the pedal assembly and clutch linkage, plus the BCM interface...



Yeah, really...but that's a used transmission, of unknown pedigree. A rebuild kit for the 4L60 is close to $400 in itself. When I had mine done several years ago, by someone I knew and trusted, it cost me $800, including a new converter, but I did the R&R labor....

I've talked to some junk yards out here that sell used 4L60E's off there shelf's that have been tested for operation, they go for around $400 with exchange.

I've also seen few websites that sell used for around the same price with exchange. They are not sponsor so i cant tell you who they are.

If your just looking to have something to get by, spending around $200-400 on a used trans is not bad choice in my opinion. Since your not making over 400hp you should be fine.

i say it depends on what your trying to do with the car... if its just a daily driver like mine is then it would be much more reasonable to just get it rebuilt and get a bigger transmission cooler and never have to worry about it ever again.
