I've got my 383 LE2 ready to go back into the car. This thing should be putting down a lot of torque. My transmission has about 30k on a stock rebuild. I have a 2800 Vigilante and a TransGo shift kit. The car will see very little track time.

How worried should I be with this transmission?

Other than a trans cooler, are there any other precautions I should take in order to make it last as long as possible?

Thanks

 

I would think that would kill a stock tranny.I guess it is just a game of luck like with the rears i hear of some ppl killin them with just headers

 

I killed my tranny with 322 RWHP. Good luck with a stroker....

 

It's not gonna take much to destroy that. Ive gone through two transmissions in my Z in the last 3 years and I'm practically stock!

 

I'd definitely upgrade....If your interested in a nice built one, my FLP is up for grabs...check the FS section.

I'm on my 4th 4l60e and counting. Gotta love it.

Just depends on how you treat it. I ran high 11's last summer and just over 10k HARD street miles while running high 11's on a STOCK transmission and a 3000 midwest stall. The transmission had 33k miles on it when I put the heads/cam package on and never failed on me, I ended up just rebuilding it while it was out and when pulled apart it still looked good.

 

if you want reliability get a T56

just my $.02

 

Thats what I did and I never looked back.
