7-25-11: Effective this date forward we are no longer supplying cores for the 5.3 V8 LS4 engine powered vehicles. These transmissions are difficult to locate and over the last year we have simply been stuck in bad situations because of this. An honest 2 out of 3 that we get back as a core or purchase are damaged and unusable. Roughtly half of these transmissions that we get are already GM remanufactured units that often do not have the correct original V8 specific parts inside and they are not only difficult to locate but also expensive. We have bought several supposed "good used" at a cost higher than our core fee and been burned countless times and has really put us behind on rebuild time and is something we cannot afford to continue doing as there is too much unneeded frustration both on our part and for our customers. We sincerely appologize for the long wait times for those of you who have waited that had us source a core for and rebuild. We will certainly continue to rebuild these transmissions but only on a basis if you ship in your original transmission, locate a core yourself and have it shipped to us or for us to pick up with our freight carriers, or drop off your vehicle for installation so we can rebuild your original transmission and also reinstall it. We appologize for this inconvinience but we have to draw the line as it has been an uphill battle for these models.
5-02-11: For several years we have had numorous requests to offer AN style fittings that work with the 4T65E transmission case so the factory lines can be replaced with something of higher quality and greater versatility. There are three basic combinations of cooler line fittings from 1997 to present and each type requires a specific thread type to properly work. After a bit of trial and error testing we came up with what will work for all of these applications. Most of these parts are not custom made and they are readily available at most performance shops but a few years do require a custom combination of fittings to properly connect to AN type fittings and hose. If you are interested in using AN type fittings in your transmission case to connect to AN hose please contact us. We will be stocking the fittings and correct adapters for the transmission case that will cover all years.
3-18-11: Raybestos announced on 3-14-11 that the Zpack 3rd clutch kit for the 4T60/65E is discontinued and will no longer be made. This is very sad news to hear as we have really started to take a liking to this clutch pack in our higher HP performance transmission rebuilds due to its great ability to handle slippage and abuse should a problem occur. We have a decent amount of these kits in stock but once they are gone- they are gone. Pricing has gone up on this product effective immediately.
3-01-11: Pricing on all of our 4T65E transmission rebuilds will be increasing slightly. As mentioned above several items have gone up in cost, mainly in the last year and our prices are increasing respecitively. Our High Performance models will have a few more revisions and upgrades over previous rebuilds and this will be noted in the details on the Transmissions page when this takes effect.
2-12-11: Price change on Precision Industries torque converters. Several parts recently have gone up in price to us and Precision Industries has long carried the same cost on their great converters for a number of years but due to rising costs they have raised their cost across the board on all of their products and our updated pricing reflects this.
1-15-11: Coming Soon! Added pages and info for custom 3800 Series 2 engine swaps. We have been doing custom engine swaps for a number of years and been putting 3800 Series 2 engines, mainly supercharged, into vehicles that did not come with from the factory. Our most recent swap was to perform a supercharged top end conversion on a 4th gen F-body that came with a 3800 Series 2 engine and we finally tackled the job on 1999 Firebird and is now complete. This project has been several months in the works due to time constraints but is road ready for final tuning. We havent advertised this type of work for the past few years as we didnt have the room to perform the work but since we are in a new location we will again do custom work like this. For more info or any interest in this type of work feel free to contact us.
1-09-11: Exclusive "Complete Kit" full rebuild kits added to our parts lineup! We wanted to offer a solution for anyone looking to rebuild their own transmission or even to shops who need parts for a rebuild and want the important bases covered all in one kit.
1-09-11: Price revisions on select transmission parts for 2011
