GM 4L60E Tranny Question

[86 TR]

Im working on a 95 chevy full size 1/2 ton pickup 4 wheel drive. I just pulled the trans out of it. It has the 4L60E. I started to make a horrendous screech when you put it into gear! Actually the only gear that would work yet was reverse. I though I read somewhere that the planetary gear set can self destruct.

Where would be the best place to get a rebuilt transmission? I haven't priced GM yet but my customer is probably going to have a heart attack when he finds out the price.

My guess is a rebuilt unit will be around $1500.00?? New, probably don't want to know.

You're gonna spend much more than $1500 if the tranny is making that kind of noise. Price a Jasper rebuilt and save some headache. Expensive yes, but that's all we use now and very seldom have problems.

4l60e

Call this # 800-406-1109--they can handle shipping also--since you have it out it shouldn't be all that much They have probably one, if not the top builder in the country.. Best of luck

Yes,the low planetary can self destruct. Jasper is good stuff too.

Had 4L60E rebuilt about 7 months ago in my 94 Z-71. My neighbor owns a transmission shop. Its built right, its built good,its built to tow. He also put new seals in the transfer case. Total with the "fat" cut out was at 2300.00.........
I tried going cheap and bought one on-line from Mad Dog Transmissions. Me and a friend from church spent all day swapping out the transmission...It lasted about 6 months. So...1500.00 for the Mad Dog piece of turd that lasted 6 months and 2300.00 to have my original rebuilt...Yeah..Ive got a fortune in transmissions....Don't go cheap like I did the first time. I'm glad I kept my original and was able to have it rebuilt..
