Enough with the 6 speed

[jason02Z]

Ok Transzilla with billet plate and pump option and you should be good to go... but you will pay about $8300 shipped to your door!!!! now think of the price of a 4l803 4-5k trans,1k verter, 250 for mounts but its still a auto.. give rockland gear a call you got big power not get the best trans an lets see that call fly!!!!!!!

I received a pretty good 4l80 from rossler for 4200. That included no core, which was 1000 of that 4200. So about 3200 if you dig up a core.

Ive bought a couple th400's from them as well, with trans brakes etc....and its ussually inthe 1650-1750 area depending on pan, options etc..

[NA$TY-TA]

You know im a BIG fan of the PG....(I was 800lbs lighter then you i think) .... But for this.... id say a 4L80E if ya have BS3.. i dont remember if you do or not..

The TH400 and GV would be awsome and i know it can take the power... i know it eats alot of power also.....The 69 Camaro from Drag week ran that setup and ran 7's.... of course he was a BBC and a BIG Procharger....


When i build another 1000HP+ car again ill go with a 4L80E (you know im not joking) for a very fun street car.

Shoot David a PM (mightey Mouse) and see what he thinks.

I know your making quite a bit more TQ with the bigger cubes and twins...

I see it costing a LIL Bit...
Rossler 80E $5K
a GOOD Converter $800-$3K
Trans cooler with a Fan $225
Stock Shifter or AM Free to $250
Modify Drive shaft $150-$250
I know you can do the trans mount.
Shifter Cable $60
AN Hose or Metal hard lines (like you Love )
Stock A4 Console
Controler or Manually shift it..

no, they recommended I not use it , it would not help any of the failures I have had/have.

there is nothing special about that tranny, its the same as the Gforce internals, no warranty.

that is alot cheaper than I anticipated from Rossler. his website shows 3-3.5k for a top of the line 400. No prices listed for 80E, expect in the 5k range.

no BS3, stock computer here, so will stay MVB.
overall I think the 4L80E is what I want, Im just not sure it has the same track record as the 400 has... there is a local guy that has blown two Rossler 4l80E's and he is only right at 1k rwhp.

You'll also need a Lokar dipstick and a Speartech wiring harness (unless you want to wire it yourself), BMR crossmember + You'll need to transfer a truck trans. table to your PCM. My Rossler has been working great but I'm a few ponies shy of 1K.

please explain?

Are you running a 400?



LOL... thanks for the laugh, that is awesome.



yea the pricing make sense, and it is a more proven setup from what I can find.

I'm running a Rossler T400. I've had 3 differnt transmissions and 3 different torque converters and 3 different rear diffs in the car to find what I wanted. Heck, I can change a trans/TC and diff in my sleep now.....lol...

A good TC like NC does not need a lockup since the TC is going to be very tight for your +1000rwhp. I only dropped 100ish rpm at 65mph locked vs unlocked....not worth it...plus I had a manual switch and did not gain anything at the track.

I have a 3.00 rear gear, T400, tight converter, 4025lbs and it cruises fine. 4L80 would be better if you do a lot of 80mph cruising...around here anything over 65mph and you go to jail........runs 8's when pushed at 4000ft DA.

I would honestly look into something like a clutch style Jerico transmission. Their 5 speed would be nice for the mixed bag of what you are looking to do. They are small and would drop a decent amount of weight out of your car. Clutches should be considerably cheaper too.

I beleive that the 4L80E will also weigh less than the TH400 GVOD combo. I have also read that the GV OD is laggy in that it takes a sec to shift after you tell it to.

The 4l80e is still heavier. Tektrans has a thread in the drag racing section where he is installing a Th400 / GVOD unit into his car.

[jason02Z]

a upgraded lenco st1200 would poss do as well

[TPRDFW]

omfg. dude drive to dfw and have jason @ tdp do ur t56 and get one of his clutches!

[Darren P]

With a 99+ car you should be able to run a 80E on the stock computer, just modify the wireing harness and get a segment swap

why ? does he do some kind of black magic on the metallurgy of the gears that makes them withstand more power?

I want a MVB... have some feeling of still driving the car lol

[RickClarke23]

I cannot wait till they make a 6l80e Controller and figure out how to get it to hold the Big power. Im sure a 6 speed auto Street car with 1000plus would be alot of fun both at the track and the street. I would go 4l80e with your setup since im sure you drive the car quite a bit. I be it will still be pretty fun with the MVB.

Roughly:

60 = 2300

70 = 2600

80 = 2900

Not to hijack this thread, but how do you, or who can do, the necessary segment swap for the stock PCM code?

[slow67]

It is done with EFILive or HPTuners. HPTuners you have to send an email to support, and they will swap it for you. EFILive you can do it yourself.
