4L60E TRANSMISSION REMOVAL UPGRADE

4L60E TRANSMISSION REMOVAL UPGRADE

My work area is not heated and my work days are much shorter.The 4L60E transmission by General Motors first came onto the scene in 1992 where it served as a replacement or upgrade to the 700R4 transmission. Please be able to wait up to 6-weeks during these months. My off season (November through April) can add considerable time to your transmission rebuild because of the weather and my work schedule. Cash or online payment through Zelle are accepted forms of payment. The remaining balance is due before picking up your transmission. Seventy percent (70%) of the invoice will need to be paid before work can continue. After the disassembly and inspection of your transmission I will email your invoice. Once work has begun on your transmission it normally takes 2-weeks (or less) to complete the process and have your transmission ready for pick-up. I hope all of this helps to explain what my rebuild service consists of. That low cost transmission rebuild will eventually end up costing you much more. If you find an offer for substantially less than mine you can be assured that low quality parts and short cut procedures will be used. A quality transmission rebuild is not going to be cheap no matter who does it. I do not participate in cheap transmission rebuilds by using inferior components and taking short cuts. Most of the replacement components are upgraded and improved over the original part. I use new, brand name, quality components from the following companies: ACDelco, BorgWarner, Fel-Pro, Filtran, General Motors, Precision International, Raybestos, Rostra, Sonnax, Superior, Toledo, and TransGo. If you find the shop unwilling to do that or get unsatisfactory answers to your questions be leery. Try to get a written itemized estimate and compare theirs to mine. When shopping around always ask ' What components are you going to replace for that price?'. A big part of any transmission rebuild is knowing what will actually be done and what parts will be replaced. Just let me know what you would like done. The decision is always yours if you would prefer to replace components that are still in good working condition. This keeps the cost down since you are only paying for what is needed. Electrical components and other parts are only replaced if they do not pass inspection. In other transmissions some added components and labor will be necessary.

In some transmissions nothing may be needed beyond my basic rebuild service. Knowing the source of the problem and fixing it assures me that the rebuild will be successful and problem free. I am trying to determine the root cause for any problems with the transmission. After disassembling your transmission many hours are spent on the cleaning and inspection process. Just about any part of the transmission can have damaged. Valve bodies, oil pumps, gears, shafts, thrust bearings, cases, and housings could also need replacing. These are not the only components that could be worn or damaged just some of the more common ones.

3rd accumulator steel check ball is leaking.

electrical components are damaged from heat and age.

inside diameter of the boost valve sleeve is worn.

separator plate holes are enlarged from the steel check balls slamming against them.

reverse input drum surface is damaged from the 2-4 band slipping.

Some of the more common problems with high mileage or overworked transmissions: Higher mileage transmissions with more wear and damage will naturally cost more. Lower mileage transmissions with minor problems can cost less depending on the condition of the components. My basic rebuild service may be all that is necessary for a working transmission with 150,000 miles or less that is just beginning to have problems. The transmission fluid may be supplied in gallon or quart containers. My basic rebuild service consists of the transmission being disassembled, cleaned, inspected, and reassembled with all new gaskets, bushings, seals, clutch steel and friction discs, fluid filters, the band, a remanufactured torque converter, and 12-quarts of synthetic transmission fluid. I do offer discounts so check back often and also check my inventory. The cost for my basic rebuild service as described on the home page is $995.

It also helps to eliminate any confusion obtaining the correct replacement converter. Please be sure to bring the torque converter with the transmission to avoid paying a substantial core charge. No transmission removal or installation service is offered. I only offer the transmission rebuild service. If you are able to remove and reinstall your 4L60E transmission but do not want to take on the job of rebuilding it, you have come to the right place.
