Your 4L60E can be built to handle a large amount of HP. We've got them running 11.0's @ 124 MPH. Launching on a 175 shot...Pulling the front wheels 8" off the ground on a 1.51 60 ft. time.

Shane,
If you don't race the car, you might get away with a "performance rebuild".

We'd need your transmission to build...We don't have any '97 cores at this time.

You should NEVER reuse a torque converter in a new transmission...Without atleast having it sent back to the manufacturer and having it checked and cleaned out. As a side note, TCI isn't the most reputable 4L60E converter manufacturer, either. I've seen too many TCI converters come apart.

the tci converter that i have only has about 3 or 4 thousand miles on it do you think it would be ok to use i realy cant aforde to replace both tranny and converter at this time

 

If the transmission is wasted, you should NEVER reuse a converter. I, personally, won't even give a warranty on a transmission if a converter is reused.

The trans. and converter share "common fluid". This means all the nasty crap from the transmission is now inside the torque converter. When you try putting a used converter in front of a new transmission, you immediately fill the new transmission with all the garbage out of the converter.

No, there's no way to "flush" a torque converter without cutting it apart. I can have your cut and cleaned for around $100...Providing it's not damaged inside.

ok i see what you are saying. just as a side not the tranny is dot completly junk the car still will run and drive just that drive and overdrive are starting to slip under a hard load but thanks for the help

Just a little FYI - if it is slipping, it is putting junk (clutch material, and metal) into the fluid and that junk will still be there after the new tranny goes in unless the converter is replaced or sent out to be redone.

 

the full Race trans is fine for the street I cant possibly be happier with mine and it is mostly street driven .
