I personally feel like any good quality clutch packs will work just fine. I would think you are more likely to roll over a sprag or break a shaft than burn a clutch pack up...... James?

there are chunks in the bottom of my pan of my 4l60e. so now its time to decide. do i need to go 4l80e or stay 4l60e? i just spent $900 on a new billet converter from yank. i guess i could sell it...........
tahoe info: i tow every once in awhile but when i do it may be long trips. 1000 miles at a time. my goal for power is around 800hp. not daily, but when the need for high boost arises. the truck is AWD and will stay that way. i have 3.73 gears. I'm not sure where that will put my cruising rpm. will flt's lvl 5 work for me? or do i have to go 4l80e? i already get bad mileage due to AWD how much worse will this make it?

who says you need an flt one?
people have very good luck with junkyard units and a transgo shift kit. Parish told me it took him into the 10s.
going rate seems to be $800-1000 for a low mile 05+ trans, but I suggest you check craigslist too because even better deals can be found. The 80e is common in the chevy vans too.
