Default transmission rebuild

i need a rebuild for my 4l60e. it has a shift kit that i would like to keep. the trans will not go into third or 4th gear and i was told that the valve body in these transmissions tend to go out. is this true? does anyone know any rebuilders with reasonable prices? im a college student and dont have much to spend; already spent over 3 grand for driving like a maniac...

Contact Brian @ Rebs in Reseda. He's an awesome transmission man and his prices are fair.

Where are you located, for starters. If you're in AZ for example, its not gonna do us much good to make a CA shop recommendation.

I remember The Toy Shop in Pomona doing good rebuilds. Have been out of the loop here for a few though so things may have changed.

If i were you i would find a wrecked car with low mileage, get the trans from it & throw in a trans go shift kit. You should be able to find a good used 4l60e transmission for under 500.00 or even less on Craigslist or in the wrecking yard.
