Seeking Trans Builder for 4L60E

Dan Fahey · 07-15-2013, 03:17 PM

Division one IHRA season is over.
Have 4 years of racing on the 4L60E trans and time to get it refreshed for next year.

The current one was built by Shane Cobb - Carolina Performance Transmission. It performed very well.

Unfortunately he is out of business now looking for a new competent builder.

4L60E has its unique weaknesses and strengths and need someone who knows how to build a robust unit.

Try Wayne Rogers at Rogers Automotive in Chantilly, Va. 703-631-4242 for years.

He's built all of my race/street units(PG,350, 400, 700r4...) for many years with great results and he's close to you.

Thanks Mike:
Going to upgrade and buy a new YankSS4200 replacing an excellent YankSS3800.

Know it will pick up a solid tenth or better.
Will hold on to the SS3800 for a 383 Bracket Car Project that may develop.

I will check with Performance Automatic in Gaithersburg and Rogers Automotive.

Seems there are those that know how make the 4L60E work.

Contacted ATI yesterday and told me they really do not like working on those transmissions.

Preferring their T350, T400 and PG's

Dan
