Default Hey Frank ( Performabuilt ) got a ?

first off i wanna say thanks for the awesome tranny i got a few years back, she's still running strong. 4L60e

anyway i wanted to ask, do you think i need a refresher? i mean theres nothing wrong with it nor is there any signs of anything going wrong with it, BUT during race season i push my truck to the limits, meaning it will see 8-12 passes a night sometimes more sometimes less.. and putting down close to 500 to the wheels i was just wondering if it would be a good idea to send it to ya to have you refreshen it? or should i do a tran's fluid flush or what? any ideas what i may need to do.

or do we go by the saying: IF IT AINT BROKE DONT **** WITH IT

Well we have the 950 restore but its really built around the idea of a failure , However i supposed it could be used as a refresh. its really up to you i mean either way the cost is the same. I do however agree with not doing a flush seems alotta problems happen after those i have noticed seems alotta people that call about a new trans just had a flush done and it was working fine before. Something to think about
