I was suprised my transmission lasted as long as it did. Tonight I was doing some tuning for new parts and it finally let go. I had just a TransGo shift kit in it, and it lasted far longer than I thought it would have been able to. I guess the 56lb/min (417g/s) maf reading was a little much for it.

RIP one hard working tranny

I think I will have a local shop build a new one with a parts list of what FLP Transmissions does to strengthen their 4l60e trannies.

 

Let me know what parts you go with...I'm thinking of doin a rebuild soon

 

Ya I have been reading your post. sucks huh... I need to get mine built like Parish8's tranny. I think I am putting out more than 500 torque to the wheels now

 

4L80E is the way to go.

 

Where do you get a parts list of what FLP does?

 

Oh, and how many psi are you seeing with that 56lb/min?

 

i think the list is on their website. http://www.flp2win.com

 

Hmmmm.......so with my 450 gm/s readings, my tranny on borrowed time? How many miles were on it?

 

Hopefully your 65E with the shift kit and servos will last longer.

Ryan, do you know what broke in the trans? What are the symptoms?

 

It will cost you about as much in parts as it would to just buy a tranny from FLP. It isn't just the parts either, it's the builder that has more to do with it than anything.

I learned my lesson about getting someone to build me one.
