well i lost a man today.....the ole 4l60e let go. and let me tell ya it went out with a bang. well, more like a squeal, grind, clunk. there are pieces of something in the pan. its under warranty. i called the guy and he says he'll warranty it. so i have my fingers crossed.

 

Dont feel bad..my built 4l60e is slipppin to!!! Onto bigger and better things!

 

your lucky...the 5 i broke they said they didnt warranty broke parts only manufactured defected ones...

 

Was kinda funny. About 6 months ago a regular customer brings in his 94 Dodge Dakota for a transmission service which we have been trying to sell him for a long time. His only complaint was a little hesitation on take off and a little slip into overdrive. Well i pull the pan and the fluid is ******* GROSS haha smells just the worse i have smelt yet. But then i see in the pan its like a metal scrap pile in it. I Dumped it into a container and have him come buy to see what he wants us to do, look for a trans or just put the pan on and put fluid in it till he can get the money.

Well he took it back and drove it until last week when he had a used trans put in at the local salvage yard. He said it was still shifting fine for the most part.

I guess the whole point of the story is its amazing that some people can drive there **** all fugged up forever with no problems and i see people on here have 1 small thing happen and all hell breaks loose given the power level or not haha.

Good luck with the rebuild or moving on to bigger and better.

yeah well, the guy won't answer his phone. so looks like i need to decide on what to do next. i'm thinking level 5 flt 4l60e trans.

what parts did you break on yours?

 

i wouldnt waste any time with a 4l60e....i udnerstand the flt units are nice...but your running a boost, very heavy truck....id look in another direction

 

Maybe with a little luck he will answer you tuesday. Everyone is not like me working 7 days a week even on holidays . Good luck with whatever you do.

 

input shafts and drum

 

i'm thinking i may have broke something like that too. did you have the stock shaft?

well you know who he is. your favorite guy in the world lol. he told me to call him sunday and i could bring it by..............

what would you recomend? a 4l60e with billet parts ie: inputshaft, output shaft. or a 4l80e

 

you could always look at it this way.... when you break something, that just means you get to UPGRADE
