Here we perform all the updates for lube and durability, and eliminate the partial lockup function, found in the 4L60E.
#Built 700r4 transmission series
The Extreme 4X4 Series uses 4 pinion planetaries. A lack of lube and cooling is a killer when pulling the boat, camper, or work trailer loaded down with equipment. This is a must in these heavy duty units. Moving on, in the planetary, both sun gears are modified to increase lube flow. You will not have to worry about that sudden loss of reverse, 2nd, and 4th gears associated with the breakage of this piece. They are almost twice as thick as a hardened or new OEM shell and they have a reinforced collar. To address this, we use only the GFX Shell. In particularly heavy vehicles, vehicles used for heavy loads, and those used for off-roading, constant shifting occurs from first to second and reverse. We next attack a weak link, the sun shell. Some additional modifications to the 3-4 set and this clutch pack prevent scoring and burning and increase hold. More friction plates than stock which is 6 in most cars and trucks. This is important because the clutch has to bear the load in every gear except reverse.įor the 3-4 clutch, we use 8 heavy duty friction and steel plates. They have superior temperature capabilities and they don’t burn easily, even in the worst conditions. These clutches have an outstanding friction coefficient for maximum holding. We use Alto High Energy carbon composite friction plates in the forward clutch set. Now you have nearly double the load capabilities of the stock transmission in overdrive. That, accompanied with the 20 percent wider band, will let you tow in overdrive with confidence. This servo has more holding force than the stock overdrive servo. It will supply the clamping force needed for these heavy units but without the excessively harsh shifts associated with the aftermarket “super servos.”įor Fourth (OD), we use the our Proprietary Performance Overdrive servo. This servo is the largest servo available from GM. To compliment this, we use the Corvette servo. We use a heavy duty wide band for maximum hold in 2nd and 4th gear. These units feature a heavy duty 13-vane pump with full-time lube modification to keep the heat down, and a modified lockup valve to improve the lockup converter’s durability so you can tow confidently in overdrive. The shifts on these units are designed to take the abuse and work associated with these vehicles, but without the tire chirping shifts of our race and performance units. These were specifically developed for 4×4 vehicles.
#Built 700r4 transmission pro
These units are built very similar to our Pro Race units, but the focus is on durability while maintaining reasonable shift quality.

It is ready to head to the mountains or play in the bog – your choice. It has slightly more aggressive shifts and more punch built in. This series is very similar to our Heavy Hauler, except it’s built with climbing and spinning in mind. Our Extreme 4X4 Series is ideal for rock and mud crawling.
