Hate to ask what you are doing to that tranny to blow it up 5 times on a stock motor. Stock 4l60s should handle up to like 450hp no problem, as long as you arent neutral dropping it at every light.

Anyway, PM me if you want a stage 4 built 4l60e with TCI 3300 stall and B&M tranny cooler for $1200

find out what actual parts have been used in the build and how many miles, what kind of abuse the tranny has taken as even a stage 4 tranny will need to be refreshed after some runs but, all in all good price.

I paid 1600.00 for mine used with 300 miles and no hard track runs on it.

P.S. I bought mine sans torque concerter so there is an added bonus! Don't know what TCI's are going for.

Get a Turbo 350 w/ BMR Shifter. Or either have someone rebuild the 460le with good parts so it wont break. I myself would like to have someone beef up the 460le so i can keep my stock shifter with OD. But i dont trust anyone around here. And on the bright side, the turbo350 is alot lighter. That deal by jonaddis seems pretty good. I would hit him up, I might myself even. ive been VERY lucky with my transmission, even running quicker times then the people here ive seen blowing them, and mines still working. Knock on wood.

Heres the dillyo.... The tranny was only used in a break in period. The engine was rebuilt at the same time as the tranny, and after about 500 miles max the engine spun a bearing. So the tranny only has break in miles on it. Here is whats in it:

4L60E from a 94 Z28

• Stage 4 Built with all new parts
• Extra clutches and bands (High-Performance clutches and bands)
• Super servo
• Trans-Go shift reprogramming
• Super Sun-Shell and input shaft
• Race pump
• B&M super-cooler included with braided lines
• TCI Street-Fighter 3000 stall convertor with lockup
• SFI-Approved B&M flexplate
• Energy Suspension Poly Tranny mount
• Less than 1000 miles of engine break-in (all babied miles for engine and tranny break-in period)
• Payed $1900 for all work and parts
• Rated at 700 max hp

• Asking $1200 with cooler and convertor

Questions email me at jonaddis84@aol.com
Or to speak with owner call 419-344-0811

No im really not that hard on it never neutral slam it, it has never broken at wide open throttle it always brakes when im crusing down the highway at a constant speed or in town at a constant speed.
