I will be doing some engine mods soon (cam,Efan's,Lt's,2800-3000 stall,and mabey some Nos?)

My question is should I rebuild my current trans or just replace the my 4l60e with a new on one like a FLT stage 4.
It slips alittle from time to time but I know it will be gone as soon as I do all those mods.

What would be the cheaper or smarter way to go?

how many mile on it already? A shift kit goes a long way, but if the trans goes it sometime takes the stall with it

 

Just replace it with exactly what you mentioned

 

Shift kit and servos on a stock 4L60 is all u need. Unless u plan to go north of 400rwhp there's no need to buy any more. That said, as long as ur willing just go all the way to a level 5....we all know that once the mods start, none of us is happy...so the goal shud always be to spend wisely in expectation that too much is never enuf!

 

I hope that's a joke. There isn't more than maybe 1 or 2 trucks on this site who have hit 400 rwhp on this site, and everybody runs a lot more than just a shift kit and servos. They are no doubt excellent tranny upgrades, but not good enough to hold 400rwhp. You have to remember that this isn't an f-body. Our trucks weigh a ton more and that extra weight is what kills transmissions

 

+1... this is what ive been told

-kevlar band
-vette servo
-aluminum accumulator piston
-4th servo
-shift kit
-seperator plate
-stall converter (your already doing)
-deeper tranny pan
-tranny cooler

that might make your tranny last a little longer and it might not, take it as you will... like randomhero said you gotta remember, were all 4000-6500lbs plus.. that makes for some tranny stress

 

I have about 55kmi on it I am looking for around 350ish rwhp I think that will get me in the 13's that all I am looking for.

If I want to go much fast I will just get in my Goat.

 

get one from FLT and stop building transmissions... trust me

 

YEST TRUST SILVER MOD O.... HE'S SPENT MORE TIME BUILDING TRANSMISSIONS THEN HES SPENT DRIVING THE TRUCK
