408 and a whole lot of dope
she's back in the break in stages nowIn my experience in building these units it seems that the 3-4 clutch is the main issue I saw in my built units. There is a new drum in the works from sonnax that has not been released yet. Pretty sure the idea behind this product is to address the 3-4 clutch issues. Like anything else I think they are working the bugs out of it at this point. Don't know. I think its funny when some guys say they blew up their unit when in reality it was a clutch or band failure. IMO when its blown up a hard part is broke like an output shaft or a planet. In a properly built unit these failures should not exist. Just my 2 cents.

Funny you should ask. I have been talking with one of the guys over at sonnax this week about a TBSS project I'm working on. He had mentioned the drum in conversation and I was told that he should have some more info soon. Like anything else it takes time to put this kind of stuff together. When I know more I'll make sure to update the thread. Vince

I've been waiting on a thread like this to help me make a decision on my 60e, 149,000 on it, 90k of those driven by a Grandpa and the 3rd filter/fluid change was a month ago, no metal in pan.
I'm wanting a stall, cooler & shift kit but was worried it might crap on me soon after. I'll be lucky to get 400 at the crank when I'm done too... probably should just go for it instead of waiting for it to take a crap, I don't even drive that hard..

EDIT: Just read your sig, already have the Corvette servo so never mind.

I have been running my stock 4L60 (except for TransGo HD 2 kist and Vett servo and tuning) for over 85,000 miles of boosted (12psi) fun and many hard 4x4 launches and its still holding up fine.
Torque Management is the key.

My 02 ex cab half ton was a 60e setup and it lasted
It was just the TransGo HD2 shift kit, "full race" drilled plate, no washers, pistons, servo, bigger tranny pan, and the stock cooler.
The 1-2 would spin at WOT, and the 2-3 would chirp.
I never did any left or right hand burn outs, or massive doughnuts, but I did make WOT stright line runs with it
