Quiktrip Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Yup, it started to act up on the way home last night, but I was able to limp her home. Checked the fluid this morning and started her up...no reverse.Time for another rebuild. Any suggestions on who will rebuild a 4L60E properly, and can upgrade it and install new TC while their in there? Thanks, Robert yeah right, not for a while! Looks like 55 isn't starting out to well.

Quiktrip Posted July 16, 2006 Author Share Posted July 16, 2006 Were you on the track last night? Yes, and it seemed fine there. I did about 7 runs in 2 1/2 hours. I guess I just got it to hot. Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest LT4ME Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 I know a guy that could build ya one that was nearly bullet proof and will snap your neck when it shifts, but unfortunately he's out in Orange, CA.I can ask our tranny guy at work, he's rebuilding the Taurus trans today and he's a Chevy guy at heart...

Guest intmd8r Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 7 runs in 2 1/2 hours? I've never been to Fireturd in the summer, but apparently they're MUCH less busy! Sorry to hear your tranny burned up. That is no way to celebrate your birthday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92ZR1Wannabe Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 I would look into something like a B&M prepped tranny or a TCI . Both have outstanding reps and build those things to last. If it was my car i would most likely order a tranny/converter , then drop it off along with the car at the speed shop of your choice Unless your up for a challenge and want to do it yourself , or do a corvette weekend.http://www.tciauto.com/transmissions/trans...tm#applications Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quiktrip Posted July 16, 2006 Author Share Posted July 16, 2006 Thanks for the input. It looks like TCI doesn't have the 4L60E for the corvette, just the Firebird/Camaro, and the same for RPM. I know that there are differences between the models. Mike, if you can check with the guy at your dealership and I'll check with Mike at AZP&S and see want is available.

Buccaneer Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Sorry to hear your tranny went south on you. Did you get the one that's in it from PT out on 75th ave or so? Good luck on on a new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had it rebuilt at Phoenix Remanufacturers out about 75 Ave and the I-10. Lousy job, won't go back to them. I've got a few names that I will check out this week for prices and upgrades.

Guest XLR8TNC5 Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Try Paul's Automatic Transmissions. They did mine and did a BEAUTIFUL job! He knows his shit and even installed a TransGo kit for me that was awesome. If you can't find their number, I will see if I can dig it up from somewhere. Later and good luck. Im also sorry to hear aobut your tranny issues. Take care. Tanya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buccaneer Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 I feel your pain Robert. I'm going round and round with that company on a tranny for teh truck. IT'S A POS!! Not only is teh tranny crap, but they had teh truck for a month and didn't fix $%*& and caused over $1,100 damage while they farmed it out to another company. Talk about pissed off!! I still don't have it fixed and this started teh weekend before Easter. STAY FAR AWAY FROM THAT COMPANY!!!Where is that shop Tanya? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a biker kind of guy and did the work right out of his garage at his house. Mark talked to him more than I did, but he seemed like a REALLY nice guy and they had no problem working on a 4L60E AND adding the Trans-go kit that Xtreme did not want to come close to touching. lol.
