Thinking about a junkyard 4L60E?
One of the most common questions we get:
Should I buy a used transmission from a salvage yard or have mine rebuilt?
Here is the reality: a used transmission is always a gamble. You have no idea how many miles are on it, how it was maintained, or why the vehicle ended up in the junkyard in the first place. It may work great, or it may fail a week after it is installed. Then you are paying labor all over again.
At Red's Speed Shop, we offer three different 4L60E options so you can choose what best fits your truck and your budget.
Fitment
Pricing applies to 1999-2006 and 2007 Classic GM trucks.
2007-2013 models require an additional $100 due to the updated input speed sensor.
Three options
Stock, performance, built
Stage 1
Stock Rebuild
$1,200
Perfect for stock daily drivers.
◆Complete front-to-back rebuild
◆Brand new torque converter
◆Built to OEM specifications
Stage 2
Performance Rebuild
$1,500
Great for trucks with basic bolt-ons or mild performance upgrades.
◆Complete rebuild
◆Upgraded clutch pack
◆TransGo shift kit
◆Corvette servo for firmer, quicker shifts
◆Stock torque converter included
Stage 3
Built 4L65E
$2,200
For trucks making more power or running a cam.
◆Converted to a 4L65E with the stronger 5-pinion planetary
◆Heavy-duty clutch packs and bands
◆TransGo shift kit
◆Corvette servo
◆Built to handle significantly more abuse than a standard 4L60E
Optional upgrade
Trailblazer SS torque converter
For just $100 more, any of the transmissions above can be upgraded with a Trailblazer SS torque converter featuring an 1,800-2,000 RPM stall. It is a huge improvement over a stock converter and works great with most mild camshaft setups.
Add on
