My 93 Auto trans first gear is starting to wine and a little grind to go with it so been looking for a rebuilt one the problem the pricing all over the place most of the revues are so so ,can anybody point me in the direction of a good quality 4l60 at a good price ,THANKS ..

 

Depends on how you drive it. If it is stock and you drive it as such, then I would suggest you just have yours rebuilt. Birmingham is 200,000 so I would think there are several rebuild shops in the city, both chain and independent. Check around and ask any local car clubs for recommendations and read any available reviews. Make it clear you want yours rebuilt and not a shelf transmission.(take down the tag number) A mail order piece often results in trouble. If there is a problem, you can't just go to the local shop and have it corrected. The supplier will blame the installer and the installer will blame the builder and you are in the middle, usually holding the bag of coins.

 

It is just a weekend driver. I have tried 3-4 shops in the Birmingham AL . area they act funny Ok I need a ballpark figure remove complete rebuild we this and that he ha BS am sure if in the biz can tell me how much to rebuilt a 4l60 trans ball bark any way ,this is what they say :we will take it out check and give you a price HELL no ,now much to rebuild my trans NOTA ,if they don't know ball park cost to rebuild my trans well not trans people ,NOT MY FIRST RAODO ..

Suit yourself. It's your money. Corvette 4L60 much different than a standard 4L60 - especially 92 - 93.

 

yep different corvette special ok just going to have my trans rebuilt that way I know I’ll get back the right one it’s got a number on the case that the deal I am going to drop it replace it myself my let jasper do it send my trans no shipping rebuild it send back no shipping $2,100 about the best I can come up with at lest I’ll know what I got ??

 

can see spending $4-$4,000 on. $8500.00 vette realy

 

can’t see spending $4-$5000 on a $8500 old vette just don’t add up after all that still got a $8500 old vette

 

If you have the skills to pull the trans, you could rebuild it yourself. I have rebuilt the 4l60e in my daughter's Tahoe and a couple of others. You need to get a bracket to hold the transmission using an engine stand or one that secures to your work bench. You need a tool to compress the clutch pack spring to disassemble it. You need a bunch of picks, snap ring pliers and a shop press. There's tons of YouTube videos on all the steps. As far as the difference in builds you'll see how full of crap shops are in charging 2k for a basic rebuild or 5-8k for a performance build. The factory uses 6 clutches in the 1st-2nd pack. A performance build uses 8-9 clutches. It takes 2 minutes to put in more clutches. It's 50-100 more for the kit with the better clutches. You replace all the seals in the valve body with a rebuild and those come in the deluxe kits. To add a shift kit you buy for 20 a stronger plunger and spring for 1 or 2 of the valves. So for the same labor and an extra 100 in parts you have a $5000+ build. When I rebuilt mine I replaced every bushing, seal, pump, clutch, etc. I know if you have a shop do it they'll most likely replace the burned clutch and put it back together without replacing everything else. Anyways, I'd look up a couple of YouTube videos and see if it is something you would feel comfortable doing. It wasn't that hard at all.

 

I here ya I tried once years s back to build 400 never did work and yep been working on Vettes for too meany years Ele and trans some things just not me brakes motors rears and just about anything else I deal with it don’t mind paying well I do but what ya do so $2100 is it over priced hell yes way better that $4-5,000 pulling trans no big deal old school do what ya got to do . One thing I hate about pulling one I will make a mess fluid every were always O well , Thanks

going with jasper for the money I called 10 different builders jasper sounded like was better for the money for my needs most wanted to sell me a and am sure they were all good but didn’t need a trans that would handle 1000 hp going to build my trans ( won’t be getting wrong trans back )get mine back free pic up free creat free return and if goes bad will pay labor to reinstall I just needed a street trans works do me. Tried to do it here all wanted to
play games no thanks . Thanks for all the help .

 

I 2nd on doing it yourself. I was in same boat. Not knowing how or doubting my abilities. I did my 4l60e on my 94. It was not hard at all. I spent hours researching. The best advice I can offer is to watch video Transmission Bench 4L60e. Buy there kit. I tried to save money and shop around. For the time I spent searching i wish i had just purchased kit from Transmission Bench. I have 1400 dollars into my rebuild. I have a few upgrades, a couple new tools now and my time. I know whats in it is the nice thing. Any questions just ask.

 

I got mine rebuilt by Jasper it's in not too bad to install.

Thanks for the replay,
