i have this clipping from the classifieds of this mechanic-turned-tranny specialist....says he specializes on the 4t60, 4t60E, and 2 Ford auto trannies...I wanna talk to him about how much we would want so he can custom make me an LSD...

Yeah, but think on the benifits down the road... just specializing in that could set you off for life...

Transmission repair is one job unlikely to be outsourced to China.

OK

 

I wanna know something, I was talking to this guy yesterday about my car, who has worked on cars for a while, in his own time. Hed buy one, fix, then sell, keeping a few GMs for himself

 

He said there was the 4L60-E. This was the rear wheel drive version of our trannies. Its basicly the same, but in a RWD case. Then, he was saying that this is comparable to the HydroMatic 700 or 400 or something like that

Yeah thats what I always thought. 4L60E is RWD version of yours, and the 4L60E's andcestors were the TH-400 and and 700-R4 ( I think that is right)

Im pretty sure the 4L60E did. Dont know about 700-R4. TH-400 was used in old muscle cars. They also used TH-350, a less beefier version of the TH-400. That TH-400 was damn-near unbreakable.
