New 4L65-E transmission

[Arctc Wolf]

I just read some of the many car magazines that i get each month. I saw in Super chevy or Hot Rod or something about GM's new Auto transmission. it's the same as the 4L60-E in outer dimensions, gears, ect., it's just able to handle a little more power than the 4L60-E, I think 20-30% more. basically, shot-peened and hardened shafts, a friction disk added for 3-4 shift, and a couple other little trinkets that could be bought and installed w/ a tranny re-build. anybody have any ideas, questions, comments, opinions that ya wanna share?

Thats a transaxle

what he was talking about is like a upgraded 200r4 or something, I was it also.

Not to mention the fact that the Z06 is manual only.

well...I had did a search on that tranny and there were a couple said that it was made to 'handle the 405hp LS6 found in corvettes'...that's why I made that assumption...my bad...
