Cause the guy who sells built 60e's says they will, and the guy who builds 80e's says they won't go any slower.what makes the th400 and 4l80e slower? what about a 700r4 can i build that to handle it?
I build both 400s and 4L80Es also. I don't just SAY they will...It's a proven fact that they will. Now let me educate you. Rotating weight soaks up horsepower, as does and type of friction. Teansmission rely on efficiency to make HP too. A 400 doesn't have the low first gear ratio that a 700/4L60E does, therefore they won't 60 ft. as hard. We've seen people go from a footbrake 4L60E to a transbrake 400 and the 60s drop off. A 400 is stronger, but it takes more HP to turn because of the rotating weight, and it's not as efficient as a 4L60E. A 4L80E is an overdrive/electronic version of a 400. A $l80E is not only MUCH heavier, it eats even more HP than a 400. I've also witnessed first hand not only slower quarter mile times, but a substantial reduction in RWHP on a chassis dyno.Cause the guy who sells built 60e's says they will, and the guy who builds 80e's says they won't go any slower.
Who knows.
Trans Go makes about 2 good parts. Their shift kits aren't one of them. Any shop that uses their shift kits should be avoided. They obviously don't know what they're doing. I have already explained that the TG "manual valve body" kit will burnt the transmission up.so is the transgo kit a good kit that i can buy and then be able to hook up a ratchet shifter because thats really all i want is succesful ratchet shifting not looking to be faster just want to have a fun automatic
Agreed... The transmissions that I do use some kind of kit on (most Chrysler trucks, some Fords) get a Superior. I also use a ton of Sonnax parts, but they're usually individual parts, not necessarily "kits".Trans Go makes about 2 good parts. Their shift kits aren't one of them.

Yes, I like the Superior kits in E40Ds too. I use numerous Sonnx parts as well. I think knowing NOT to use a Trans Go kit is what seperates a "Transmission Builder" from a guy, standing at a bench, building a transmission...LOL There's a huge difference between the 2. I always tell any potential customer, "Even if I don't end up building your transmission, please avoid any shop advertising that they use Trans Go kits." In many cases, Trans Go has to modify something in the exact opposite way than is beneficial. Their thoughts on accumulation is absurd!Agreed...

What are you engine mods?well it seams the 4l60e will never be good enough for me to have a ratchet shifter so that brings my next question 700r4 or th350 for ratchet shifting?
