Default Which 4L60e is better............

An FLP level IV trans or a Rossler 4L60e trans, and why? I see that quite a few people use the FLP's, but LPE and several other big boys use Rosslers. I was just asking before dropping some big coin on one.

Thanks

My FLP Level IV 4L60E is holding very well behind my 422 stroker motor.

I've heared good things about Rossler too.

FLP is by far the most popular, I don't know if that means anything.

When the time comes for a tranny upgrade, FLP will be going in my car.

I've seen a LOT of people advertizing the success of the FLP unit here. Somehow or another though, the Rossler unit is holding up behind LPE's TT 151 mph 1/4 mile street killer.

I don't think you can go wrong with either.

I doubt you'll go wrong either way. The FLP unit has a great track record that's been documented by the internet community on several boards. (They also mention a few "also ran" names.) Often the Big Boys are not active internet community members so Rossler doesn't get a lot of air play, but I think you'll find their track record is backed up too.

When rebuilding my 4L60E we used many hi performance parts fron the FLP unit as well as the Raptor transmission. Believe it or not there are even a few GM parts that are actually very reliable as well. I customized my trans with the best available from several sources and so far ...no problems.

The www.transmissioncenter.net displays all of these parts so you can pick and choose what you want.:D

Just for info, GM has released a new heavy duty version of the 4L60 for SUV's and trucks running the 6 liter engine with LS6 heads.
