.............................My transmission was rebuilt and upgraded with performance parts.

.....................I have an excellent transmission shop, who knows the 4L60E transmission.
.
.
---------------------------------------------------Cherry City Transmission----------------------------------------------------

.............................................Jerry and his crew are excellent at what they do.
.
.


....................................Hughes Finned Aluminum Transmission Pan. It is a thing of beauty.

......................................................Bought it here: Oregon Performance Transmission
.
.
.


......I have a 2200 stall torque converter. Stock stalls @ 1400 rpm. (Edge 3000 Stall TC coming soon).
.
.
.....................A Superior Shift Kit, and many other performance parts were used in the rebuild.
.
.
...In addition, Byran Herter has programmed my PCM specifically for the mods and torque converter.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.............................New GM transmission cooler lines were purchased from Dal Slabaugh.
.
.
.

...........................Clear Image Automotive Tubular Cross Member and Driveshaft Safety Loop.
.
....I have a CIA Tubular Cross Member powdercoated in RED. I also have a METCO Driveshaft Safety Loop (red) to install. The above pic shows what a tubular cross member is, and the DS safety loop too.
.
.
.
.
......................................I also have a 3000 stall Edge TC and an Eaton Posi w/ 3.73 gears.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
................Preparations have begun for a T-56 (Six Speed Manual Transmission) Conversion
.



..............................................................4L60E Tubular Crossmember top.
..................................................................T-56 Crossmember bottom.

.
.
If I was going to only drag race my RM, the automatic would be the best choice. That said, the T-56 will be a better "all around" street transmission. When the T-56 goes in, we'll also swap to 4.10 gears, which is a better match for the T-56 gearing.
.
.
...............................There's nothing better than shifting a performance car manually!
.
...........................This modification will happen after the heads/cam package is installed.
