Why do need a new trans? Get a built 4l60e if your not gonna race it at the track a lot. Otherwise th400 or th350...

It depends on how much you want to spend and how much hp you want it to hold.

also depends on if you want to pull & install it yourself.

i guess 500 hp or more and i dont have a clue abot installing a trans ... money is not a big deal i can always save up for it

[LS1ow]

My trans failed completely on my way to the trans shop. I had to call the shop and tell them I'm stuck on route 23 in Pompton plains. They sent out a flatbed and 100 bucks later I was at fisher transmission in Fairfield NJ. I talked to Steve, told him what I wanted performance wise and he took out the catalogs. I wanted a heavy duty street strip, that would shift hard and not break under heavy driving. Parts: 2200 stall converter B29x, corvette servo, red line clutch packs, transgo shift kit hd2, large servo piston & cover, the beast sun shell, red eagle band, heavy duty steels and whatever other parts needed for the rebuild.
I'm totally happy with this trans, second gear hits hard and spins the tires on full throttle acceleration.The car will actually kick out sideways a bit on heavy acceleration, when second hits. All the shifts are firm and positive. First gear in this car is pretty nasty, since the trans ratio is 3.06, and with the higher stall converter I feel it, the car has a lot stronger pull. My car is pretty much stock so I think. I don't know if anyone cammed it, or did any motor work before I bought it. I'm the 3rd owner and I know the last owner before me did nothing to it. The last owner did have a 99 ls1 camaro and he said the Lt1 pulled harder. I can't say, because I've never driven a LS1. The total cost of the removal rebuild and install with all the goodies was $2346.95. The labor is what costs the most. But I didn't have a lift so I felt this was the way to go. I bet if you remove the trans bring it to the shop, and you reinstall it you will save big time. Fisher transmissions Fairfield NJ.

Good luck: Joe

[shadowfire]

[shadowfire]

im looking at the site right now trying to figure it out i just dont understand the diffrence between 460le and 465le like what is better ... ?

[LS1ow]

good call. mine was in my car for a few months without breaking. which is a lot better than the other ones faired lol

ill be putting my PB trans in back in when my car is ready to be on the road again.

65e has

5 pinion planetary gearsets
hardened stator and output shafts
hardened sun gear
better clutch packs
extra clutch in 3-4 pack
recalibrated valvebody
heavy duty low/reverse clutch
deeper pan

i think thats it... but when you look at that list... so id think the only difference between the PB 60e and 65e is the Planetary lol


and i also have a nice B&M deep trans pan forsale :mrgreen:

extra clutches=more holding power
5pinion planetary set= stonger & withstands more hp (the 60e has 4 pinion)

[shadowfire]
