Rossler customers come inside....
I have been dealing with Carl Rossler about a project I'm working on. I was referred to Rossler by my cantact at Lingenfelter. Rossler builds all of Lingenfilter's trannys. Anyway, I shipped my tranny to Rossler to get it built for the project I'm working. After talking with Carl many times now, I have grown very worried. Well, to start, his people skills suck. Every time I talk to him, I can be right in the middle of a sentance and then he just starts talking to someone else there at his shop. Then when we got down to what he was going to do, I asked him if he "Cryogenically" treats his internal parts or if he "Micro Polisheses" them. He said niether. He just replaces the weak parts with aftermarker stronger ones. Well that worries me, because every tranny shop in the COUNTRY I have spoken with either micro polisheses or cryogenically treats their performance parts.

When I bought my 97' it came with his A4. Not sure what level.......II I think, but It is hitting his shop today and we will find out.
After 10K hard miles, 160+ official 1/4 mile passes ( 250+ total
), road racing street driving I lost 3rd & OD. I am happy with it cause I have beat the hell out of it.
If I didn't have his, I would go with one of our supporting vendors:

Carl has a refresh price minus broken hard parts hard to beat..........time will tell, but never had an issue on the phone.
Good luck,
Steve

Steve,
After talking with Caarl from Rossler, Iasked him if he used either the cryogenics or micro polishing on his trainies. He laughed and said that he had no idea why any of the other shops did it. (cryogenics or micro polishing) That worries me. I have done my research, and fully know the benifits of these procedures. I aslo spoke with Lingenfelter techs and asked them if they felt that Rossler could build a tranny to stand up to my project. 1000 RWHP, they all said no. And they felt that no one could build a 4L60E that could. What do you think?

a 1000 hp 4l60 might last a pass or 2, but at that point transmissions will be like changing oil. i know a couple of people that ran his full out 4l60 in their vettes and they last ok, but a 4l60 isnt made for that power. just like when the buick gn's were trying to run that much power thru a 200r4, they just dont last very long.
my suggestion would be the th400 kit they make for a c5, along with a 3.15 rear and 28 inch tires. you can cruise on the street some and not be turning 3000 rpm's and at the same time they are built to take that kind of power.
