Hello,
My 4L80E seems to be approaching the end of its life cycle. First gear is starting to lag and does not downshift in time when accelerating.
My truck is a 2000 GMC K2500 with a 5.7L V8. It has roughly 167,700 miles on it.
I'm wondering if it is possible to swap out my 4L80E for an NV5600 6-speed manual transmission.
I know it's a large undertaking, but I'm going to try and have a local performance shop do the swap if at all possible. If not, I'm just going to have them put in an NV4500 5-speed instead.
Also, what is recommended for this type of job, new transmission or rebuilt?
Thank you, and please let me know what you think. This truck is my daily and I need answers soon!
