If I get to plan my overhaul, that's where I'm going, would be a fun and memorable trip.

Does precision transmission sell already rebuilt 4l60s? I have a high mileage 01 Tahoe that my son drives currently (it's his first vehicle) and unfortunately, the transmission just went out. I need a fairly quick option that won't cost an arm and a leg but will still be reliable for another 100k miles or so. A close friend of mine used a company called reman transmission to get a replacement trans for his Jeep and said it was a good deal. I did some research and found this, https://reman-transmission.com/transmission-codes/?code=4L60-E. 1900$ sounds awful cheap for a remanufactured 4l60 and apparently, they ship free. Have you guys had any experience with them or heard anything about them? I'm a little wary of ordering expensive parts like this online

After watching his videos for the past year or so, I am convinced that he could rebuild my transmission in under an hour if he wanted to. If my transmission went out, I wouldn't even hesitate to pay someone to haul my tahoe out there so he could work on it.

No, they don't even like to do carry outs. Folks foul up the installation of the torque converter all too frequently and then he has to completely overhaul them again. I learned the hard way too my first time, busted the sprag in the pump on a TH350C when I was a kid.

I'm not familiar with that company, what do the reviews across the internet say? A 5 year unlimited mileage warranty is enticing to many. Still, I would want to read the testimonials.

Subscribing to this thread. I'm in Socal as well and will be having my trans gone thru in the near future. I haven't used them personally, yet but have heard good things about California Transmission. They have 2 or 3 locations in Socal. Speaking to them on the phone, they seemed to know their stuff and I'm leaning towards having them R&R my trans soon. Keep us posted if you go with them and how it goes, or if you come up with another trans shop in Socal.

Not sure if you are mechanically inclined, but you can save some cash by getting a reman and installing it yourself.

My reputable transmission guy doesnt fuss with 60es. He puts in a quality reman and sends it down the road with a warranty. He says for the price of quality parts to install then labor on top he cant rebuild one for the price he can buy one and install.
I trust him, hell the th350 in my nova has taken the abuse i dish to it and several other transmissions my family has had him do.

Do you know some sources of quality online rebuilt transmissions? There are a ton and I’m interested for future reference.

Has any tried Street Smart for these? Some friends have had great success in other applications and I want to be ready when needed.

I got mine at the dealer. Costs more but I have a 3 year warranty covering parts and labor at any dealer in the country. Being frequent travelers, that was important to me.

Pretty sure the brand he used was Power Torque. Think its the same as Oriellys sells. He gave a unlimited mile and i think 5 year warranty parts and labor.
Ran me 3000 with tax out the door to be installed, oriellys website shows roughly 1800 for the unit. So lets say a day to change it out qt around $100/hr shop time im happy. It was February when it was done and the heated garage i use was full so it would have been an on the ground in the snow job.... no thanks lol.

I was quoted $1771 from Street Smart including tq convertor w/3 year warranty. Lot's of reviews but no personal experience in a GMT800 platform. The last rebuild I did personally was a th350 do might be rusty.

Thats what I was planning on doing to. But I dont think it will make it there lol.

That appears to be California TransmissionS (plural). The one in Socal is California Transmission. I think they have 3 shops, East LA, Ontario, and San Marcos.

For my 2006 Chevy, I just ordered a reman trans from reman-transmission. They didn’t have any built on hand. So they are having one built it as part of a new order. 10 days is the build time plus 7-14 days shipping. I asked them and they have them built in Milwaukee, WS. The only transmission builder I found there was called ETE transmission.

Hopefully this works out. I’ll let you all know when I swap it out at the end of this month.

 

[2006Tahoe2WD]

I've watched many of Richard's videos. I think he now only does vehicles that come in allowing him to remove and reinstall the rebuilt unit. He said other make too many mistakes during the reinstall. Good idea to have the vehicle shipped out there. Probably cheaper than driving it and using up hotel/food costs.

Still waiting on the transmission.
