Is it possible to make the 4l60e have a higher OD? Say if someone wanted better gas mileage? Or if someone wanted to eliminate the OD basically altogether? Is this even possible? I am just wondering. Is it not economically feasible? Is it just not possible?

I'd love a tranny that has an OD similar to the 6th gear in the T56s. Just a question.

I am tranny ignorant/illiterate/inept.

 

...Not that I know of, but then again, I think your the only one to ever ask.

You could put a Gear Vendor on it and turn it into an 8-speed...... with a 22% lower (numerically) O/D....

 

yes you can (i remember bumping into this a while ago)

"The Next Big Thing". PATC has developed a new planet gear set for 700R4 / 4L60E transmissions. This will be the biggest thing in 700R4 advancements in years. These will have a 2.66 to 1 first gear, 1.55 to 1 second gear, 1 to 1 third gear and .64 to 1 overdrive ratio.

 

I would really be interested in the new planetary set. Only if the had a price listed!

 

Anyone ever get a price for this yet? Looks like an interesting product. I wonder if it is as strong as the OEM piece?
