    4L60E level 1 build problems!! need info

    ok so i got my 4l60 rebuilt by these guys at texas performance transsmisions heres what they did , this is there add on the level 1 build i got the 6 month warranty and its only been like 3 weeks!!!

    The 4L60E competition level 1 includes a complete overhaul of your transmission using your clutch choice of either the Alto red eagle kevlar clutches or the Raybestos blue clutches, the Beast heavy duty sun shell, wider than stock red kevlar band, corvette servo and our own design shift kit for harder shifts. Again, this is the price to overhaul your transmission due to the differences between year models and engines. All bench jobs come with a 6 month warranty, when we do the full job with removal and installation we give a 1 year warranty. Texas Performance Transmissions -

    SOOOO i drove the truck nice and easy for 1000 miles, then i did a few runs on a back road and now it feels like theres no shift kit and sometimes it does but doesnt kick anywhere near as hard as it use to,
    took it back they said i broke my 1-2 valve body piston wich was plastic single O-ring and my 1-2 Solinoid.and they charged me $170 isnt this soppose to be the corvette servo or am i confused??

    still doing the same thing, either i got screwed on the build or something else is broken,im no tranny guru so give me some pointers guys

    took my denali to the same guys. they said it was going to be 900 to do the build.they call me two days llater and tell me its ready.drive it around and the 1-2 shift all 4 tires bark.2-3 also,but not as much. go back and the guy has a 1500 dollar ticket for me.he said because it was a AWD. i was never told he was going to charge me 600 dollars just to pull the t-case off.so i just pay the guy.that same night. my starter breaks and my truck turns off out of no where. had to replace the starter and several other things. my truck doesnt shift as hard anymore and feels like it has alittle flare on normal gas.i have a year warranty.so im going to make sure this tranny breaks before the warranty is over.

    this is the exact reason even though i know very little about transmissions i refuse to bring it to a shop to be done. i had never touched a 4l60e before 2 weeks ago. my buddy who also had little experience and i did a 2 successful corvette servo and transgo hd2 shift kit installs on my truck and his this past weekend. you just cant many people these days...

    Note toself do not go there for a rebuild. And do not go to National Transmission in Tombal were my brother had his tranny rebuilt. Had to take it back twice. 1st time it burned up whilte the mechanic was drving it. 2nd time it was overreving the engine before it shifted. And we even tried adjsting the cable on it. Oh it is a 90 modle Chevy with a 383 stroker and built up 700R tranny.
