ok heres the deal my truck has 90,xxx on stock motor and trans i just added the vette servo almost 3 weeks ago and i love it well here's the thing,i like my a4 trans and would love the a6 trans but do to time money and other things my best option would be to either buy a beefed up 60e or just rebuild my current with better parts. so far what i have read the main things that break/go bad in the 60e are the hard parts,well i have been pricing those and the prices aren't that bad. so should i just get the new better parts,hd2 new cooler and 3200 verter to go along with the servo. or cut time and buy and lvl2 from performa or flt. plz any help appericated

 

im in the same predicament and so im tuning in for answers also

 

I wanna be the first to say it...... Swap to an 80E lol

 

80e is an awesome trans! kinda like that info-mercial "Set it and forget it"!

 

now granted i had a dd i would love to do the swap but until that day comes its out the question

 

its real easy,and it will put way ahead of the game, if you plan to add power to it.

 

i do plan on adding power eventually a turbo, well how much would i be looking at for the swap to an 80e anyone? if some one can do a parts breakdown for me.

 

never mind last post seen it in sticky

 

i understand that the 80e is the best swap, but its not straight forward like the 60e that comes in the 1500..some guys already have the 60e converter that cost close to a grand for..then they have to buy a flywheel, customize cross member, shorten driveshaft. then rewire for the 80e..its more work then some want to do..yeah, i eventually will do the swap..but it just seems like everyone wants to go straight to the 80e swap without giving some kind of answer for the 60e.

 

thats what im sayin, yes i understand the 80e is hands down the best but i know its some way to make the 60e a good contender at least.
