help new transmission
 

hey guys any ideas for a new trans for my car?? 2000 ss ls6 auto

Why do need a new trans? Get a built 4l60e if your not gonna race it at the track a lot. Otherwise th400 or th350...

whats wrong with it? whats the symptoms?

my trans is sliping and i want to fix it before it goes

performabuilt.com

this.

i went threw 3 4L60es befor i cut my losses and got myself a Performabuilt stage 2.

but id deff let Kurt know what the problem is befor you go and drop the coin. he seems to be a 4l60 guru lately :mrgreen:

have you guys heard of http://gearstar.net/

I'm no Guru...I'm just a ex-GM Tech that knows how to use a few tools :wink:

He wants a "New" transmission... anyone feel like chiming in on what "New" means???

:popcorn:

no... but there level 2 only holds 450hp...

ok so what should i do ... cause i know ill do the wrong thing ....

if your looking to send you trans out, and get a performance rebuild, id shoot performabuild a call or email.

ok ill look at thier site

It depends on how much you want to spend and how much hp you want it to hold.

also depends on if you want to pull & install it yourself.

i guess 500 hp or more and i dont have a clue abot installing a trans ... money is not a big deal i can always save up for it

id throw a converter in there while its out too

:nod:

ok but witch one 4l60 or 4l65 stage one or two ??

How soon do you want the trans? I have a PB with a converter, level 2 prorace... with a converter...

and why are thier no prices?? on thier site

call

My trans failed completely on my way to the trans shop. I had to call the shop and tell them I'm stuck on route 23 in Pompton plains. They sent out a flatbed and 100 bucks later I was at fisher transmission in Fairfield NJ. I talked to Steve, told him what I wanted performance wise and he took out the catalogs. I wanted a heavy duty street strip, that would shift hard and not break under heavy driving. Parts: 2200 stall converter B29x, corvette servo, red line clutch packs, transgo shift kit hd2, large servo piston & cover, the beast sun shell, red eagle band, heavy duty steels and whatever other parts needed for the rebuild.
I'm totally happy with this trans, second gear hits hard and spins the tires on full throttle acceleration.The car will actually kick out sideways a bit on heavy acceleration, when second hits. All the shifts are firm and positive. First gear in this car is pretty nasty, since the trans ratio is 3.06, and with the higher stall converter I feel it, the car has a lot stronger pull. My car is pretty much stock so I think. I don't know if anyone cammed it, or did any motor work before I bought it. I'm the 3rd owner and I know the last owner before me did nothing to it. The last owner did have a 99 ls1 camaro and he said the Lt1 pulled harder. I can't say, because I've never driven a LS1. The total cost of the removal rebuild and install with all the goodies was $2346.95. The labor is what costs the most. But I didn't have a lift so I felt this was the way to go. I bet if you remove the trans bring it to the shop, and you reinstall it you will save big time. Fisher transmissions Fairfield NJ.

Good luck: Joe
