I'm Awesome
Well the 4L60e went out so I'm wondering a few things. Well for one I'm not going to do any of it myself, I don't trust myself with anything this big. So whichever I decide I would ask the opinions of the transmission shop, I'm just getting opinions on here first. It will also be a long time before I'm about to do anything about it. Right now it's stock height with 3.73 gears, but I do plan on putting a 6" lift on it with 35s.
I was just wondering about if I should just have the 4L60e rebuilt, swap it out for a 4L80e or even convert it to a manual.
The transmission shop that I will get to do the work said it would cost $1,600 to rebuild the 4L60e and that includes a minor shift kit. This will probably be the one I do.
I also thought about just replacing it with a 4L80e. Just wondering about if that would take more work or if it takes the same crossmember and would bolt right up to my 350. Also what's the pros and cons of a 4L80e over 4L60e.
I do really want a manual (my 1st truck was a manual), but there's not many GMT400s with a manual so it would be hard to even find a transmission let alone one that someone wasn't asking an arm and a leg for. So the manual option will probably not happen. I'm also wondering about the 4x4 issue since I have push button 4x4 and it seems like all of the manual GMT400s I see has the 4x4 stick in the floor. Would I be able to keep the push button system or would I also need the stick in the floor for the 4x4?
Well thanks in advance.
