Rep Power: 934

So Before I parked my car I was having trouble with my cars tranny slipping, I beleive it is on its way out again. The tranny was replaced before but I bought a used one so I guess you get what you pay for. Anyway I have been looking around and I settled on this kit. Anyone ever hear of anyone doing this conversion. I plan on pulling some serious HP once I get into the engine. This should cover it for the tranny. Let me know what your opinion is on it before I dump a lot of money down on it.

Yea I know its alot but I plan on keeping the car and sinking a lot of money into it, That will be one thing I wont really want to worry about upgrading as I put money into the engine, *cough* procharger *cough*.

I honestly dont know if i'd drop that kind of money into it honestly. I spent 3.2k on my tranny rebuild, and got tons of performance features.

It's alot of money, but you can't get much better than a 4L80E. When I finally get all the parts together for my auto conversion, I will personally be going with one of these companies for a cheaper alternative:

regardless of what you decide to do Paul, if you stick with an auto, invest in a trans cooler fo' sho.

thats the tranny in the Escalade that we have...the 4l60e is what they used in the older vettes, I love knowing the technology in our camaro's is still from the late 80's early 90's....ahaha

yea I got a Big Hayden Transcooler. they are EZ to install.

$l80e is sweet just dont know if its worth that kinda money got mine done for 1500 with Perf and upgraded everything.

What kind of power are you making? The 4l80E is based on the old TH400, with an overdrive and electronics. It will stand up to almost anything HP level, but there are some drawbacks. It is a heavy transmission, and it will take you will make less hp to the tires compared to a 4l60E.

There are F bodies running well into the 10s with a PROPERLY BUILT 4l60E.
Some are even in the 9s. I think that Chevypower/ls1queen ran 9.40s in the orange T/A with a 4l60 before retiring it.

I plan on rebuilding the engine with all performance parts, Either procharger or turbo is what im going for also. I want to make it into a show worthy car but still be able to hold its own on the track. And for the people suggesting a cooler yes thats definatly going to be installed. Im still in a toss up on getting the kit its not going to be for awhile but I definatly either need to rebuild mine or get that which im leaning towards. I have the 4l60e thats in my car and another one thats blown that could easily be rebuilt. I could gain money back by selling both of them if i decide to go with the 4l80e tranny.
