Book for tranny rebuild?

Is there a good book or something like a haynes manual that can go through a transmission? I've never messed with a transmission but I've done everything but rebuilt a motor so I figure my mechanical skills are decent. I'm going to see if I can fix it myself and if not I'll just buy a performance tranny.
thanks

4l60e is not the one you want to learn on. you may need a few tools that aren't worth buiying for one rebuild either. I say just get a performance one and not waste your time/money building something that will blow up

It has pretty good cartoons so you could probably make most of the tooling.

Just call up CPT and have them rebuild it for you. Not worth learning to do it once... and if Frank does it, you'll definitely only need to have it done once.

I don't want much downtime. If CPT would send me one and then core charge me I'd do it, but they want me to ship mine out first. Can't do it.

If you try to do it yourself with no tranny rebuilding experience, it may be down for longer than if you just sent it out to get rebuilt professionally. Before you do anything, talk to Frank, he knows what he's talking about.

Buy a core and send it to them; sell yours when they get it back to you.

Totally worth it -- nobody can build a 4L60 like Frank can, especially not for the price.

ATSG makes the best rebuild manual.

BTW, I've got 3 cores here that would work in your car. We charge $350 for a 4L60E core. You'd be looking at $1350 total for a "Race" build, and $1750 total for a "Pro Race" build. Shipping isn't included in these prices. If you choose to send your core back, I'll refund that $350 minus any "hard parts" damage.

Remember, you'll have right around $900-$1100 in parts, alone, to duplicate one of our Pro Race units. If you mess something up, on assembly, you can ruin a bunch of expensive parts.

definatly get a CPT pro race build with a quality 3000+ converter. It's the best mod I've done to my car!

We are a distributor for ProTorque converters. What stall are you looking for? We give quite a substantial discount over their "list" prices, if it's included with a rebuild.
