Transmission Diagnosis
Hey guys,
I was driving from class today and right off the bat I knew something was wrong when I put the car in reverse. The car wasn't moving that well so then I part it into driving and nothing. I turned off the car and waited 2 minutes then turned it back on. I put the car into drive and it worked. I drive 2 miles down the road and if its as though my transmission went to neutral on its own. So I turn off the car and do the same routine 2 more times and I finally gave up and called AAA. I checked fluid and it had metal in it. If I do need a new transmission, are there any performance rebuilds? I remember there was a series one performance website a while back that had some kind of offer like that but instead of being pissed off about it, I'm trying to take advantage of the situation.
Cheers,
Manny

This is on your 93? I believe you have a 4t60 transmission. Not much in performance parts that I know of. But that trans is not really one I know a lot about.

There is a big transgo kit for your trans with a ton of upgrades and things of that nature. Not sure if we could call them performance upgrades, but there are a bunch of improvements on the designs.

A 4T60E is a great trans and will perform just fine with a stock rebuild.
Dan, a 4T60 E is very similar to the 4T65E, except it uses an external vacuum modulator instead of an internal electronic pressure control solenoid. I personally like it better than a 4T65E in stock applications.

I have never actually compared the outputs, but I know that the stator shaft that goes theough the case is just a little shorter on a 65 than a 60, so I would doubt that the output would be interchangeable.
If you have ALLDATA or something similar, you can compare part #'* of components.
