Not sure what warranties you were reading as bowtie only has a 1 year unlimited mile and Monster has a 3yr unlimited mile?
Also I just read warranties and bowtie you have to take back to the facility and Monster has a network of shops that can repair it for you.
Sounds like you're just trying to plug bowtie...no thank you.

For a 4L60E, RPM Transmissions is the only show in town if you want one to some what last....And even then, its on borrowed time.
I ran a Level 7 RPM 4l60 in my 850 rwhp C5Z for 3 years, 10k miles and it always hit like a cannon and nailed shifts on point. After I sold the car, the next owner said it failed on the 3rd pass. I'm sure it was due for a refreshening but....it always worked great.
Now they have a level 10 with a billet drum and backing plate...That's the way to go... About $5k.
Otherwise, go with a 4L80e if you are making serious power.

Few warranty notes for Monster-
http://www.monstertransmission.com/T..._ep_116-1.html
Limited Warranty does not cover any of the following:
Any and all freight costs including freight damage claims.
Fluid, rental cars, loss of wages, any labor costs not associated with a previous agreement made by Monster Transmission & Performance.
Removal/reinstall fees, towing costs, inspection fees and any other incidental costs or damages which may be associated with product failure are not covered.
The warranty does not cover the following parts: pump, pump components, shafts, sprags, drums, planetaries and/or cases. These parts are not commonly broken, however in the event this occurs, Monster Transmission & Performance offers replacement parts at a discounted price.
So basically they dont cover towing, freight in any direction, or any hard parts inside the transmission even though its sold as a high performance unit.

LOL, no warranty on the hard parts. So, they'll build you a 700hp 4L60 transmission but you're out of luck if it breaks one of the common to fail hard parts the first time you put your foot into it.
