Default anyone using the FLP level 4 tranny ?

well this is the 3rd transmission i have gone thru i let someone build the trans & its worked for about 4 months then i get a 756 code bodyvalve solenoid & it wont shift into 3rd or 4th .I have talked to phil @ Flp & there in the process of moving there shop but he informs me they will be back up & building transmissions again very soon .I figured no more tranny problems i hope if i go with this level 4 right now with the cam shaft that gets installed i will be sitting @ 400 rwhp & 400ftlbs of tq & if i go with a 100 or a 125 wet shot phil says i can literally beat up on it & it should not break , he says the level 4 is good up to about 550 rwhp ,anyone running the level 4 tranny from FLP if so please chime in & give me your input & hp level ? any problems that you have had with it ? any leaks ? i am getting rdy to fork out 2500 dollars & just want some input on the trans before i have it shipped to the house .Thank you

I had Chuck at FLP build and install one for me 2 years ago. I've had no ploblems at all. You will love the 1 - 2 shift. Its awesome. I have all the bolt ons, 342 & SY3000TC and 100 shot I do regularly. This level 4 is well worth the investment.

I've been running an FLP 4L60E high performance upgrade for about three years and everyone knows my car goes to the track for about 60 to 100 runs a year. With 740+ RWHP and 12.5" wide ET Streets running high 9's - low 10's with no problems. You will not be sorry for going with FLP
