4l60e Problems

I Went to the track no Nittos and hooked preety good and broke the Rearend. So i get in my s60 and when i went 1-3rd was good 4th was like i hit the brakes but it was coming from the converter. Well i had it tuned for the lower gears and it still did it. My tuner (Ed Wright) scaned it and called a tranny guy that he uses and they said it was applying 3rd and 4th at the same time. they said to just drive in 3rd until i get it fixed. Well 5 miles later i heard a loud klunk and now i only have 1st and 2nd. It had to have happened when i launched at the track. Can i salvage some of the tranny or do i need a complete rebuild. Im kinda looking at doing the rebuild myself but what kind of special tools are needed?

thanks guys

not very many specials tools but by the time you buy them and the kit with converter you might be better off with a reman unit. not a local rebuild cause it sounds like you broke something very bad. if the case is not craked you should get a full core charge

Thanks, but i have a vig 9.5 that will be restalled to 3500. I didnt know what type of tools would be needed like aligning tools. I have looked and it seems everyone that i look at seems to have some downfalls to them. And paying 1000 and geting a 6 month warranty just sucks.
