Stock trans. good for how long?

[UDLOSE98]

Alright so I just have got done making a ton of purchases, Abbott Stage 3 heads, Comp cams Turbo cam, rods, studs, and of course the biggest of all my T-70 Turbo :naughty: . How long will my transmission hold up? I have a 98 V6 with Y 87, basically not will my trans hold up, about how long do I have till I need to bulk it up?

Re: Stock trans. good for how long?

If it's a T5 it's already destoryed just LOOKING at that setup.

If you're EASY on it the 4L60E should hold up "ok" for a little while, but I would expect a performance rebuild in the very near future. To prolong the life definitely get a tranny cooler installed.

I destroyed mine with 60-70k on it with a 70 dry shot of nitrous on a 3500 stall converter.

Sorry, yea it is an auto, 4L60E.

How inlvolved is a performance rebuild, do you have any links to kits available?

4L60E should hold up pretty good for a while. I've been beating the crap out of my tranny because I have a spare one sitting around but with 80k miles on it and the turbo, its still holding up fine. I've done neutral drops, burnouts, donuts, etc.. And plenty of races with it.

Is it at all possible to bolt the T-56 6 speed tranny from an LS1 or LT1 up to the 3.8???
