Thanks a lot for the responses guys. I bought the tranny from a guy who bought it brand new from performs built, but never put it in his camaro. Not sure if it has a warranty once it was transferred over to me. I am going to contact PB Monday and see what they can do. I may have just got a lemon, not sure. I never had a temp gauge on it, so i never really knew the trams temp. I had a larger than stock cooler, plus the stock cooler built into the radiator. I only have a little over a year use of use on it, maybe 9000 miles max!!! I'm not here to bash PB, because I'm not sure if it was on my end or theirs.

Well I took the tranny apart yesterday and there was tons of metal and shavings inside. I believe it was the reverse input drum that let go. There are a lot of teeth missing off of the gears. I will get in contact with performabuilt and see what they can do. For now I am running a low mileage 4l65e until I get the parts to put a 80e in behind the lq9.

My buddy broke 2 level 3's behind a cammed lq4 with 9psi. They did warranty them but the shipping sucks at $250. Plus if you pay labor that kills you. Go with 80e

I wasn't even considering having them rebuild it. I'll save for an 80e swap in the near future, and just take it easy on this low mileage 4l65e
