Nice built man. On the Optima I would get the yellow with the fans and such. I have one and works great for 3 years now in Vegas heat. Plus it goes to crap free replacement.

Thanks peeps. Well today I started knocking out that transmission list, my friend is giving me his list of things I need to replace to be able to hold up to an 11 second pass.

Today I ordered the rear 5 pinion planetary set, $175 bucks, and maybe tomorrow I'll pick up the front pinion set. That one is a little more at $240. Then I think I have another $800 or so in parts to buy, then around $500 to pay my bud to pull the trans, build it up and put it back in....I'm ready!

Thinking that after I get the trans built and my 4.56's I'll just put a cam in the 5.3 and spray it, until I find out what motor i wanna run. I'm gonna sell that ls1 I have....

Why buy new when you can restore?

Nice trans plans you have :thumbs:!
Are you getting the front 5-pinion set?
What is the advantage of having only the rears be the 5?
What manufacturer are you getting the rebuild kit from?

Sorry for all the Q's, but someday I'm hoping to rebuild a 4L60E too; just not for 11sec runs and to be sprayed....maybe SC'd.

I'm getting the fronts too. I'll get those and the other stuff on next weeks check, had to put tires on my daily and gave my dad 400 to fix the ac on it while I'm at work. Its not just one website I'm buying from, my guy has a list of different ones who have the best stuff.

When I'm done I'll post all that up here.
