How long did the 4l60e that he built you last? I think it should be strong enough for me, the 80e is gonna cost a little more and I don't think I will really need it.

Sorry to hear about thre tranny dude. Not taking any respect from Jag.....but i would highly recommend FLP's to anyone. Chuck is great.

Also, without any forced induction...wouldnt a 80e be too much? wouldnt there be a little drag?

WTF, a 60E taking the can you must be kidding me I have never heard such a thing, and how dare you make such a claim. you should be banned!!!! You must of blown a piston or something else cause I dont know how this could have ever happened.

j/k dude sorry if I could ever make any suggestion, I could tell you that I have decided not to go with the 60E, ever. There are just way to many people blowing it. I was decided to go with it earlier this week and then I thought really long and hard about it. Grippy made a good point to me earlier. "You should just do it one time and move on" words of wisdom. these trannies are becoming that crazy *** ex g/f that never leaves you alone.

What were the warning signs as it was about to go? Did it just slip a little and then take a sh*t or did it take awhile and get steadily worse?

It had a little vibration at about 70-75 for a week, then all of a sudden while I was driving normal it sounded like my bumper fell off and was dragging down the road. Not very much warning at all. Basically it just took a sh*t.

nightmarechevy sorry to hear about the trans. With all the transmissions and G80's going down lately I'm hopeing mine mine will hold up. I've got the 2nd-3rd shift clunk that is getting worse. Don't know if it is the trans or rear end. Good luck with the JAG.

I have a 2002 new style 4l60e with less than 3400 miles on it, and have the VIN to back it up. They are putting a 6 month warranty on it, PM me if you are interested. If not, good luck on your search.
