new tranny

[chrisj6]

Well the tranny finally took a dump on me this afternoon, going to build it to a 4L65e. What are the main differences between the 60 and 65e? I am also having billet 1-2 and billet od servos put in as well as a trailblazer TC. Finally the TB converter to go with the cam!

4l65e

the 60e has 4 pinion planetaries and the 65e has 5 pinion planetarys. Thats the diff i was told, may be some slight other differences, but my 60e was upgraded to a 65e.

The 3-4 clutches are much better in a 4L65E. Also, have the front pump updated/improved to reduce cavitation/starvation. The more research you can do before you have it rebuilt, the more things you&#39;ll want to do to it. I&#39;m thinking seriously about the Transgo vacuum modulator to improve transmission reliability.

So did the late model F-bodies come with the L60 or L65? This article isn&#39;t very clear about this. I know they were supposed to have a tougher & slightly different tranny, is this why?

[RedHeartbeat]

4L60e&#39;s in the F-bodies. They came with Corvette servos installed from the factory.

had mine built to 65e stats w/ all hard parts and restalled stock tc...it&#39;s bad ass&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;

[chrisj6]

i&#39;m gonna just have to get it as quick as i can, paying for rental car as we speak. lol He is going to build it to GM&#39;s 65e specs, so whatever is different is what is being changed, add the billet servos and the TB stall&#33;

Man let me tell ya though, its violent when these things go&#33; My buddy heard the clunk and he was 50 yards ahead of me&#33;
