Let me first start by saying hello to all!!
I have been a fan of the f-bodies for a long time now and still think they are some of the most beautiful cars on the road...
With that said I am the owner of a 2000 Trans Am in which I bought new when I was 18..I have done alot of work on this car and is my pride and joy...
My problem is the transmission, it is a 4l60e and has been nothing but trouble for me.The car has only 65k on it and has had the tranny out and "built" 3 times now, I just cant seem to keep it in the car..I was wondering if their are any other options for me in the tranny department..I have heard of guys swaping out the 4l60 for a th400 of 700r4 and was wondering if this was a good change or should i keep the 4l60 and have it rebuilt again...I do hope that someday i will be able to swap it out for a t-56 but that will not be for a while..I am making about 475-500hp now on motor and have a 200 shot of juice to go with it..As far as the current tranny, it is a stage 3 build with a 4400 stall (way too big) and vette servos.. The issue is that it will now go into ANY gear but park every other gear is like neutral no reverse or drive it will just rev like it is in neutral..Any ideas on what could cause this problem??
I was doing a burnout when it went to shift into 3rd and hit rev limiter and that was all she wrote...done...Any help on this issue would be GREATLY appreciated because of money issues and the time it takes to remove the tranny i havent been able to enjoy my baby in 3..yes 3...years..It sadens me everytime i go to my garage and see it under the cover..........
Thanks for any help,
