I tackled the rebuild process one sub-assembly at a time. Besides some light clutch debris and metal filings in the pan, the only problem I found with the trans was a blown output shaft seal. I then pulled the pump and removed the gear train components. With the help of an ATSG transmission service manual, I removed the valve body and control electronics.
2010 SILVERADO 4X4 4L60E SHIFT KIT INSTALL
Even better, this included shipping! Since I wanted to ensure this transmission outlasted the vehicle, I decided to install a Level 10 performance transmission rebuild kit, and a Transgo shift kit.Īfter receiving the transmission, I started by cleaning the case and using a wire wheel to remove the dirt embedded in the aluminum: Miraculously, I located a 60,000 mile 4L80e from a wrecked 2001 pickup for only $500. As with the engine, I visited to find used transmissions on the east coast. Here is a picture of my 4L80e and 4L60e transmissions: This is one major contributor to the smooth, consistent shifts that the 4L80e yields. Each shift event in the 4L80e transmission is a clutch-engagement, rather than a band engagement or combination of the two as in the 4L60e. This comes at the expense of a shallower first gear, however, which hurts low end acceleration. The 4L80e’s first and second gear ratios are much closer, which yields a much more pleasing 1-2 shift. It is designed to handle much more engine torque and vehicle weight than the 4L60e, but is also physically heavier than the 60. This 4 speed automatic is found in the ¾ ton and up pickups, and has been around since 1991. I have noticed the shifts to be inconsistent-sometimes grabby and sometimes sloppy-and this is a very disconcerting feeling.Ī better solution is the 4L80e transmission. The final gripe I have with the 4L60e is its sloppy shifts. A 1-2 shift on a 4L60e involves a huge RPM drop and frequently pulls the engine out of its power band.
Next, the first gear ratio of the 4L60e is quite deep, which presents a problem only because of the much shallower second gear. GM copes with this problem by limiting engine torque output through computer control, particularly by pulling tons of timing during shifts to prevent stressing the transmission to the point of destruction. First, the transmission is simply not designed to handle the torque output of the engine I had installed. I have seen several problems with the 4L60e transmission series. The 4L65e transmission that usually sits behind the LQ9 in its truck applications is not the best suited for this job.
