My 96 4L60E has 102k on the clock and it slips at WOT. Need to find a rebuilder around Houston and this is what I have seen so far.

4L60/5E Street & Strip Stage I Build-up


For vehicles from stock to 450 r.w. hp. Complete tranny rebuild inculding the following Stage I Upgrades:

*Transgo 4L60E-HD2 Shift Kit (including internal modifacations)
*HP 3rd clutch piston Return Spring Kit
*13 vane pump kit, clearanced to spec.
*Hardened Pump Support Rings
*HP Pump Slide Spring
*Alum. Accumulator Piston Kit (replaces plastic ones that tend to crack)
*Century HP Wide Band (3/8" wider than OEM w/Kevlar linning & reinforced strut ends)
*Billet Super 4th Servo (firmer 4th apply & longer band life)
*Century HP 3-4 Clutch Kit: Special Alto Red Eagle Racing frictions, Koleen steels, pressure plate & snap ring. Increases clutch count from factory weak 6 to awesome capacity holding 9! A must for any HD/Performance 4L60!
*Century HP Sun Shell Kit: Hardened steel sleeve is furnace brazed on to reinforce splined area of sunshell (another weak link). Includes modified sprag race & rollerized thrust bearing to replace cheesy plastic thrust washer. Over 300 sold w/no failures!
*New 29 Element H.D. Input Sprag
*5 Pinion Rear Planetary Gear (25% stronger than 4 pinion gear) This a NEW G.M. component which is more expensive than the inferior, unreliable foreign made units
*2-3 Check Valve Kit: improves timing between band servo release & 3rd gear apply
*Reverse Capsule Update: decreases bleed oriface size in piston for better reverse engagement
*All clearances & end-play set to our performance specs


All tranny builds also include all new gaskets, seals, rings, bushings, thrust washers, Borg&Warner low/rev sprag & Sealed Power filter. Borg&Warner HD frictions for reverse, over-run, forward clutch packs. All hard parts & electronic components are thoroughly cleaned & inspected. All units are meticulously checked during assembly. Turn-around time is 3-5 days after we receive your unit.

6 MONTH LIMITED WARRANTY!
COST:
$1985.00 All ex.'97up Corvette
$2049.00 '97up Corvette
---------------------------------------------
Hard parts & Electronics additional cost if any needed.
----------------------------------------------

*Corvette servo $29.95 if needed. Already comes OEM in Vettes (of course!) & in LT1/LS1 F-Body trannys.
*Delco internal Electronics Kit $269.95: includes all shift, pwm & EPC solonoids & pres. sensor manifold.
* Delco TCC solonoid & harness assembly:
93-95 (5 solonoid): $145.26
94-96 (6 solonoid): $144.96
96-02: $162.77
03-up: $
----------------------------------------------
Optional Upgrades:

The price seems a bit steep. My Z will probably never see 450 hp. What do you boys think.

i bought a rebuild kit for my trans. for $130 from AXIOM in Norfolk, VA. its all borg warner hi energy and trans tec stuff. the guy that built mine (he has been doing it for 25 years) said it would hold up to 700 ft.lbs. of torque......just a thought.

I would love to use CPT but dropping and shipping my tranny is not feasible. Frank, do you do house calls? :D
