ebay is your friend ..there in Tarpon good shop..eBay Motors: Chevy GM 700R4 4l60 Transmission 2wd 4x4 car,truck (item 200152703254 end time Sep-24-07 07:37:34 PDT)

 

i know but my dad will not let me spend my money anywhere else except quality car automotive i cannot convince him at all

 

what is this going into?

you could get a shift kit put in, hardened sungear shell, etc. if this is a tranny that will see some abuse. even if it wont, i always recommend an external tranny cooler, bar/plate style.

This man knows what he's talking about when it comes to transmissions, well shit...almost anything...

 

this is going into a suburban... and i planned on getting an external tranny cooler. is there a difference without one? because ive never had one before

 

basically the biggest reason for having auto trannies go bad, is overheating. im guessing this is sitting behind a big block, and it has alot of weight to push around, so heat will be there. Just run the stock cooler into an aftermarket, like a B&M 24kGVW bar and plate cooler, and then back to the tranny, and you should be just fine as far as overheating the fluid goes. you may or may not find benefit from a shift kit, like a transgo kit, to firm up your shifts. the added vein pressures will reduce slipping of the clutch bands and also reduce heat aswell.

 

thanks man i really appreciate because that sounds like something i need.
