Title: 4L60e
Post by: Ntrain2k on August 13, 2013, 08:03:15 PM
This seems like the closest forum for the question.

Recommended upgrades for a 4L60e?

Picked up a clean assed blazer. Might lean on it later on.

There cheap an I'm sure it would be cheaper to swap one in then upgrade the current trans.

so far, thats the best info i have found also. lol. you can rebuild it with newer and/or performance clutches. but they just werent meant to hold down real torque. thats why they put them in smaller/lighter trucks/cars.

The main things IMO are an upgraded sun shell like the Beast, and converting the reaction carrier to roller bearing versus thrust washer.

Depends on the year as to whether it has some of the better parts already or not.

2-4 servo upgrade, an input drum that isn't haggard, kevlar 2-4 band, 5-pinion plantes etc. etc.  It just dependson how much power and how deep your packets are.

I used to know those things really well, but it has been years since I built one.  There are some new parts out there that seem to address the 3-4 issues, but they are quite expensive.  Once could probably do a 4L80E swap for the total cost of the really nice upgrades for a 4L60.
