jman093 Posted November 17, 2020 Report Posted November 17, 2020 (edited) Removed my blown transmission from one of my TGP's last week. Figured I'd share. Feel free to laugh. It made a hell of a boom and a hell of a mess when it went. Edited November 17, 2020 by jman093 GnatGoSplat, 94 olds vert and jiggity76 1 2 Quote

55trucker Posted November 17, 2020 Report Posted November 17, 2020 Living proof....you can't spin a 4t60 to 8000 rpm Quote
Addicted To Boost Posted November 18, 2020 Report Posted November 18, 2020 I'm curious what failed. Quote
55trucker Posted November 18, 2020 Report Posted November 18, 2020 Judging by the newly acquired ventilation port in the case I'd say that the planetary decided that it no longer wanted to do this any more. Quote
mfewtrail Posted November 18, 2020 Report Posted November 18, 2020 Looks like you've been driving around with no valence. What are your plans for repairing that? Quote
jman093 Posted November 20, 2020 Author Report Posted November 20, 2020 (edited) I was cruising about 40mph and it suddenly exploded. Failure seems like it is in the area of the clutch pack assemblies. Although to be honest, it’s had major issues since before I owned it. The bad part is I can now no longer rebuild this transmission. My other TGP has been apart getting “topped swapped” and “5 speed swapped” for about 6 years now. So I’m going to take the transmission out of it and put it in this one. It’s a little disheartening going through the entire process of removing one transmission on your back and knowing you have to go do it all a second time to get the part. It’s actually a lot more work to remove on a turbo than other w-bodies. Edited November 20, 2020 by jman093 Mach 5 1 Quote
55trucker Posted November 21, 2020 Report Posted November 21, 2020 Try & locate another decent condition 440t4 trans? at least you wouldn't have to tear into your *life project* right now...... Quote

Only a TGP would have an HD. Don't want to downgrade it. And I doubt anything else uses the same chain ratio and diff ratio as a TGP. Quote
55trucker Posted November 30, 2020 Report Posted November 30, 2020 That's true, but the casing is the only one that is the same...a 4T60-e doesn't have the tv cable boss Quote
Jim_rockford_007 Posted July 3, 2021 Report Posted July 3, 2021 Why cant you swap the HD parts into another 4t60 case during a rebuild? The case isnt the HD part its the chain drive I think and Im not sure if they got a bigger Diff like the 4t65e-HD Quote
