4l60 ? i like to drive my car a lot in the city and the highway but i need tranny that i can shift trough all the gears manual and the 4l60 in my 95 camaro, i don't have control of first gear. but i like the over drive so what is my best option. 350 400...... will it rev high on the highway . or is there way to have control of first gear in a 4l60...manual valve body. thanks
Programming will give you what you want easily, only other thing is if your car had 2.73 gears you will have to grind a little tab in the console off.
I cant imagine why you would want that, but its pretty easy to do.

Remove the console cover, you will see a little plastic tab that the shifter hits on to prevent it from going into first gear. Cut it off with a knife, and you will have a selectable first gear. Stealth first, I call it.

And then after you cut it out, if you really want to see First, get the cover from a Camaro that shows it 
BTW you have a 4L60E, not a 4L60. 93 is the only one that came with the non-electronic.
If you REALLY want manual shifting, get a manual valve body!

Does anybody have a pic or any thing showing what to cut off i have always wanted to be able to hold first. So does anybody have any pics of what it is to cut off, i took the cover off and i dont see what you guys are talking about.

I have heard that it is a "safety" thing, due to the Z speed rating being up 149 and higher mph vs H being up to 130mph. See for yourself, http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/infoSpeedRating.dos TECH Senior Member

every F-body car,(usually camaros and some Foumulas) usually only get the 150 speedo and a higer speed govner when they have factory Z rated tires, so I do believe it is related to the cars option package, cause I have not seen or heard of a TA or WS6 not having factory Z rated tires. Mine had factory goodies like those I have heard that it is a "safety" thing, due to the Z speed rating being up 149 and higher mph vs H being up to 130mph.
