bluegp Posted January 3, 2004 Report Posted January 3, 2004 If any, what kinds of performance modifications can be done electronically? Quote
Robby1870 Posted January 3, 2004 Report Posted January 3, 2004 None electronically, but you can shim the accumulators to make the shifts faster Quote
D M N Posted January 4, 2004 Report Posted January 4, 2004 None electronically, but you can shim the accumulators to make the shifts faster How do you do that? any detail articals about that? Quote
topless94style Posted January 4, 2004 Report Posted January 4, 2004 From what i know, you take off the tranny pan, take out the accumulators and put washers in to act as shims. Quote
4spdz34 Posted January 4, 2004 Report Posted January 4, 2004 there are pics of it on brians site. http://www.brian89gp.com/ go under turbo project and then to trans, it will say shim accumulators Quote
4spdz34 Posted January 4, 2004 Report Posted January 4, 2004 o i forgot to add get a stall converter, they are awsome. Quote
WhiteOut Posted January 5, 2004 Report Posted January 5, 2004 How much you want to spend? There's a new Tripple lock Torque Converter (100% lockup in 1-3 gear instead of just 1st) on the market that you can get for 4T65e's and that might work on a 4T60e. Plan on spending close to a G to have it put in though. Other than that there's all of the aformentioned stuff, and good ol' fashinoned tinkering. My friend works at a tranny shop and he's got an Alero with a worked 4T65e. It had all the valvle bodies and passages moddified, a shift kit put in, as well as some other mods that I've never heard of before. You'd have to talk to a trans shop about that though, and again....plan on spending some money $$$. Quote
cutlassdude96 Posted January 5, 2004 Report Posted January 5, 2004 Alero's not use the 4T65E they use the 4T45E Quote
4spdz34 Posted January 5, 2004 Report Posted January 5, 2004 i can get a new converter for the 4t60e for 150$ u basically name your stall speed up to 2800 and the lowest is 1200. i have it in my car and it has about 11k miles and i have no problems. Quote
WhiteOut Posted January 5, 2004 Report Posted January 5, 2004 Alero's not use the 4T65E they use the 4T45E Are you sure that the 3.4 Alero's don't use the 4t65e? I could swear he said thats what his car had. Quote
bluegp Posted January 5, 2004 Author Report Posted January 5, 2004 you can shim the accumulators to make the shifts faster By faster, you mean with less lag; firmer, right? I'll have to look into that. It (96 Lumina) does shift way too weak. get a stall converter, they are awsome You did notice a big difference? I think I'm under the right assumption that a good torque converter will make the car feel like it has more low end torque. When the trans got rebuilt in my GP, the converter they used sucked IMO. I noticed the difference as soon as I drove it from the shop. With the original one, it seemed that more torque got to the wheels. I would like to get a better one someday.

Unfortunately, I have no extra money to spend right now. I'm planning ahead for when the trans breaks (they all do, don't they?). I thought that the converter only locked up in 3rd & 4th. Quote
PaPaPooh Posted January 5, 2004 Report Posted January 5, 2004 basicly a high stall converter will give you the feel of lag on take off if you don't bring the rpms up before take off i would not suggest a extreme stall coverter for a daily driver Quote
4spdz34 Posted January 5, 2004 Report Posted January 5, 2004 mine is 2800 and i feel no lag at all. but i do like the 30 feet of black marks it like to leave Quote
Bolt_Crank Posted January 5, 2004 Report Posted January 5, 2004 I suppose stall converters are bloody hard to install, eh? Quote
Robby1870 Posted January 5, 2004 Report Posted January 5, 2004 you can shim the accumulators to make the shifts faster By faster, you mean with less lag; firmer, right? I'll have to look into that. It (96 Lumina) does shift way too weak. Yeah, basically. I mean the time it takes to shift, or time between being in one gear then the next is less. So yes, it would feel firmer, but you could just get and adjustable modulator to make it feel firmer Quote

manitcor Posted January 5, 2004 Report Posted January 5, 2004 you can also get an LSD for the 4t60-e, Intense makes them however you have to go to thier shop in Ohio to have it done. Quote
D M N Posted January 5, 2004 Report Posted January 5, 2004 do any cars come with 2800 stall converter stock?? Quote
4spdz34 Posted January 6, 2004 Report Posted January 6, 2004 yes, a bunch of 4 cyls. which is where i get the higher stall converters from. the quad 4 cars had 2800 converters. and if u have the trans go shift kit the say if u want a higher stall speed to use one from that trans on the 4t60e. so i did and it works great. anyone else here pull off a 6.46 0-60 on the gtech with a auto? i will go out tonight and see if i can beat that, it was the best of 2 runs the other was 6.67 Quote

In Gmpartsdirect.com is a clutch the samething as a torque converter?? Quote
4spdz34 Posted January 7, 2004 Report Posted January 7, 2004 how much are they and what is the part number?? In Gmpartsdirect.com is a clutch the samething as a torque converter?? i already told you above but just for shits. i do not get the converters from the gm dealership. a trans shop in town is where i get them and they are about $150. try a trans shop around you. cause to get a converter from the dealer would be pretty damn expensive. prob $500 no a clutch is not the same as a torque converter Quote
