LOL OWNED!

What happened to the tranny?

 

oh great what did you do now chris?

and i might be up at the pavs later who knows.

 

well either one of the 2 things happened:

1. car wasnt meant for 4.10s, caused too much strain to the transmission *due to new tires and perfect traction, and also going above 70 mph* which then caused the tranny pump to move and shake and become disconnected which then took the rear main oil seal to go out as well *dripping oil*.

2. Gear shop did not disconnect the drive shaft which then let it hang thus pulling the tranny fluid pump and causing it to slowly yet surely shake and rattle enough to have all the fluid drop out of it thus causing my tranny to blew up due to heat, no fluid, ect.

my dads gf *who is a certified master mechanic and specialized in GM* says its probably situation number 1 and 4.10s are too much and my 3.23 were the perfect gears.

either way i get wholesale price on a new 4L60E or rebuild to performance spec. but its still all that money out the door for no reason.

 

man life sucks right now

 

Get a new tranny and go with my idea.

Window paint + For sale.

ORRR if you really want to keep the car..new tranny and 3.73's.

 

im going to stick with the 3.23s, do people buy semi messed up trannys, figuring they can just buy it then they rebuild it themselves, think any ls1tech guys would want it?

 

What exactly happened to it?

 

tranny fluid pump was disconnected, and he is pretty sure theres a lot of internal damage from that...i mean theres a SLIGHT SLIGHT SLIGHT chance that it didnt hurt anything, but he said its very unlikely, we are pulling it off right now..and going to dig in there and see whats up..but he said most likely im going to need a new tranny

 

It's not the tranny...It's the LT1 in front of it...

So anyway, i just showered and whatnot...Need to get ready to come down...So what's my orders?

 

pick me up tonite since i cant drive

my lt1 rocks!! when it has a transmission

 

it'll all work out, probably the stress of the gears amplified a problem that was already there...

I'm planning on flatbedding the TA home tonight, was under her today and the rear is leaking pretty bad...But i have the money for a 9" now, so 6000k launches here we come...

 

well i think greg will be at the pavs with his girl later, i will be up there with my gf around 9 so whenever everyone wants to meet up there is cool

 

don't know where that is...damnit

 

indian bend and the 101, take the 101 east/south, and go west on indian bend, turn into the mcdonalds area and youll see all the cars

 

**** that...i don't even know any indians...

i'm leaving now...Ruben or Greg call me, or i'll call you...Should be like 515 i get there...

 

570-983-8590...if you guys lost it...Leaving now...

 

I hope he doesnt get caught by those damn cameras on the 101 lol

 

yep ill give you all a call, ill prolly be out there later

 

your pump came disconnected?? this is impossible!!!

you either fryed the pump or some clutches in the trans? or the converter went bad?

the trans was already weak! yet the gears (nothing wrong with the gears) put more stress on the trans "thus" causing it to go out!!!

you will never get a 4l60e to stand behind it for very long with gears and motor work! NO MATTER HOW MUCH MONEY YOU THROW AT IT!!!!!!! the are too expensive to build and will never be as strong as a turbo 350-400 would be.

if you want a daily driver then go with th 4l60e but if you want to play? i would do the swap and save all the money and headaches.

 

Lower gears (higher numerically) in the axle reduces the load on the transmission, not increases it. It was probably a coincidence the transmission went out when it did.
