Transmission is on its' way out
My transmission fluid is looking pretty nasty, has a nice brownish color to it. I knew it was just a matter of time. The fluid only has a little over 1400 miles on it. I flushed it after the new engine went in hoping it would last a little while. I havent noticed it slipping yet, but I wont be beating on it anymore. Good news is i am about to get my hands on an FLP 4L65e level 5 transmission. Just having to get it sooner than I expected to. Getting a good deal on it, so I got to jump on it now while my truck is still driving.

Have you got any track numbers on that thing yet? I wanna see something impressive!!! I am anxious to see how long that built '60 lasts for you. I know we have similar combos and I have already smoked 2 '80es and 2 torque converters (a Yank and a Precision triple which I was told would hold 1200 horse and that I couldnt hurt it) I hope you luck out and it holds for you, you can definitely run quicker with the '60.
