4L60E Transmission For Sale

4L60E Transmission For Sale

We have a Chevy 4l60e transmission for sale that is perfect for you. Fortunately, you did not stop to search at just another transmission replacement company. What exactly do I mean when I say that we have a 4l60e transmission for you? Simply put, we have in stock every 4l60e transmission that fits every application made by General Motors.

Did you know that there are subtle differences in nearly every 4l60e transmission depending on it’s application. For instance, a Buick Roadmaster would have a 4l60e that was programmed to shift smooth and seamlessly for maximum comfort and lifespan for a luxury car. A 2500 series pickup truck will be programmed from the factory to shift more aggressively and forcefully to exact max life out of a work truck.

Would you want a work truck transmission in your Buick? No. It would have very noticeable shifts since it was designed for a truck, most folks who have a luxury car don’t want aggressive shifts. What about the truck? Well the aggressive shifts make the transmission last longer because the extra force used to make the shifts helps carry heavy loads with more authority.

Just ordering a transmission randomly is not a good avenue to take, of course a decent company like ours will halt the progress of a random a approach and help you decide on how to approach the subject. In fact it is downright irresponsible to let a person with little or no knowledge mail order a transmission randomly.

The company has a responsibility to learn who their customers are and appeal to them in a sincere manner that is informative and understandable. The more you understand as a consumer the better decision you will make. Don’t be surprised if we Benjamin Franklin you to death. (Ask a lot of pertinent questions).

We ask a lot of questions because the more we know about the vehicle it goes into and what your usage is, the better we can serve you up the exact replacement transmission you need.

One of our most popular replacement transmission is the 4l60e. It has been extensively used in Chevrolet and all General Motors products for well over 15 years. By locating your vehicle identification number (VIN) on your registration, I guarantee we can have the exact replacement 4l60e shipped within 24 hours. Allow us to prove it. Call Now.

e4od Transmission For Sale

e4od Transmission For Sale

e4od Transmission For Sale

When the first Ford e4od transmissions were introduced, people like myself, who are actually involved in the technical side of the business were blown away. I’m a 30 plus year veteran of transmissions, having been self employed from 1981 to 2006. It was the first big heavy duty 4 speed electronic overdrive transmission on the market.

Actually the big three introduced all of their versions about the same time, it was the e4od that we worked on first. Remember the first ones, there was a button on the right side of the dash that engaged the overdrive.

Ford used their brains on this one. They used the famously successful and durable C6 as the base for the first 3 speeds of this 4 speed transmission. Using a redesigned case and an added overdrive section in the top area, Ford came out with a new transmission that was inline with the new GM 4L80E.

By using a known excellent commodity in the C6, our recipe is partly completed, by adding an overdrive section to it and converting it to fully electronic functionality, Ford produced what eventually became perhaps the most used light to medium duty transmission on the market.

Not without it’s share of initial problems, most of the problems were a re result of wiring harness problems and electrical connector connections. When the harness and electrical problems were detected and fixed, rarely did a transmission fail.

The e4od had a certain amount of internal issues that we not due to the parts directly, as opposed to the systems that operated the sub-assemblies. Once a rebuild becomes necessary, it is the perfect time to upgrade the internal areas of concern since the transmission is stripped bare and all components that need updating are right in front of you.

Updating the e4od turns a darn good transmission into the load pulling monster it can be. Bringing out all of the transmissions potential, and what you expected in the first place. These transmissions work so well after we rebuild them, many people are surprised and call back to let us know. We encourage feedback, it allows us to know where we can get better.

If you are looking at an e4od transmission for sale, you may be interested in speaking with a professional transmission salesperson. No matter what your application is, we have an e4od for sale in the configuration you want for the vehicle you own, ready to be shipped in 24 hours or less. So give us a call and place your order now. GotTransmissions.com.

Turbo 400 Transmission For Sale

Turbo 400 Transmission for Sale: Thanks Very Much.

Turbo 400 Transmission for Sale: Thanks Very Much.

The Turbo 400 was perhaps the most famous Chevy transmission from the new breed of 3 speed automatic transmissions, when 3 forward speeds first came out. Three forward speeds in the early sixties was very modern then. In a way it is the equivalent of four and five speed automatic transmissions of today.

There was no way to know back then how popular the 400 would become with many groups of car owners. Truck owners of the 1500, 2500 and 3500 series trucks loved them because they were durable. Hot rodders and drag racers fell in love with the 400 because of durability benefits and how well suited it was for super fast and hard shifts. A drag racers dream.

As I mentioned in a post on the 4L80E, the 400 is the 3 speed section of the 4L80 transmission. When you have a product that is so successful, why not use some solid technology from such a successful source? The 4L80 is becoming a legend as the 400 has become.

To a transmission person this may be interesting, although a non tranny person may derive some satisfaction knowing the T400 operates a bit different than a 3 speed automatic transmission that uses a band for 2nd gear. The T400 uses a clutch pack for second gear. The beauty and life improving benefits from having clutch plates over a band for second gear is as such.

Clutches do not have to release before the 3rd gear shift can be made. A 2nd gear band has to release before the 3rd gear shift can occur, or a tremendous bind up (you might think someone hit you from behind) happens. The 2nd gear clutches in a clutch type (2nd gear) transmission do not have to release to cause a 3rd gear shift, thus a cleaner more efficient shift which translates into more life.

Enough mumbo jumbo, rebuilt T400 transmissions are a super deal, good enough to make looking for an old one not cost effective or a good value. T400 transmissions were discontinued in the early ’90’s, so locating a used one that has life left in it is not very feasible.

When you consider used in this case as being very used since they have been out of production so long, you are filling a short termed stopgap at best. For seemingly hardly any more cost buying a rebuilt T400 for your 3500 series Chevy truck will cost less than you expect and exceed your expectations by a mile.

4l80E Transmission For Sale

General Motors manufactures the Chevy 4L80E transmission, it is the strongest transmission made by GM. The optional Allison transmission is now available and proven to be worthy, however it is hard to beat the 15 plus years of super service the 4L80E transmission has given the truck industry.

Essentially Chevy used a very reliable and successful model to go by in designing the 4L80E. Based on the T400, which is an icon in Chevy transmission land, the 4L80E has a case which accepts all the guts from the T400 and has an overdrive section in the front of the case in order to achieve the overdrive gear. It is a fully electronic transmission using a transmission control assembly and a wide range of sensors telling the computer when and how to shift.

It is a great recipe, combining a known commodity with some savvy design changes to dish up one of the tuffest transmissions for light duty trucks ever. I define a light duty truck as a 1.5 ton or less. Such as the Chevy or GMC 3500 series trucks and SUV’s. The other brands of vehicles have their own versions to compete with the GM 4L80E.

Part of the success this transmission has had since the beginning is that the base came from a tremendously successful unit already (T400), which makes the job easier than having to start from scratch. Essentially they had to design an overdrive section and a new case to stuff it into. A lot less work and trial and error than starting from scratch.

Simple it’s not, but a good idea it is. Remembering I mentioned this is fully electronically operated was another challenge to overcome. About the biggest problems this unit faced were actually wiring harness problems. My recommendation upon replacing a 4L80E transmission is to check the wiring harness and connectors. It is cheap to buy new connectors and easy to get at most parts stores.

Since you are probably searching for a 4L80E transmission for sale, may I recommend speaking with the folks at GotTransmissions.com. They have the experience to hook you up with a 4L80E transmission for sale that will meet your need and fit the budget. Call now and let us give you an education. Don’t forget we ship in 24 hours so you can get back on the road asap.

Mercedes Manual Transmissions

Looking for in depth, highly detailed information on Mercedes Manual Transmissions? Are you an antique car collector or do you enjoy driving a 30 year old Mercedes that gets 30 plus miles per gallon of diesel fuel? To be perfectly honest, Mercedes has not used many standard shift transmissions, or gearboxes as they call them, for about 20 some years, except in certain sporty models or special order vehicles.

During my professional career as the owner, operator and a participator in my transmission shop from 1981 to 2006, we rarely worked on a Mercedes standard shift transmission. The ratio was never tallied up, but I assure you it was very low compared to Mercedes automatic tranny’s. Simply put, they choose to outfit the bulk of their cars with their excellent automatic shift transmissions.

I remember when I was about ten years old my best friends mom had a Mercedes 4 door car with a 4 speed manual shift on the steering column. Very unusual at the time to see a 4 on the ‘tree’.

Of the manual units I did work on, they were constructed in a typical German fashion, excellent engineering and tip top parts. Pretty dang simple, eh? They have a vibe for building well engineered cars, Porsche is the best built car in the world, that’s a fact.

My bet is you are reading this post because you are interested in buying a replacement unit. While you may indeed want to buy a rebuilt transmission, you don’t want to rebuild it yourself. If that were the case, you would have searched for something different.

With that in mind, our inventory has never been overstocked with Mercedes manual transmissions for sale. Partly due to the lack of vehicles manufactured by said company with standard gearboxes, and in part because they last a long time.

What we stock is the most common units available in the last 20 years. They are all pre-tested and certified to work perfectly. We do this regardless of what interests you have, for instance you may be interested in rebuilt manual transmissions, or possibly a good used unit. We test them all, it builds customer confidence by doing so. Call now and see how fast we can ship a Mercedes manual transmission for sale to you.

Turbo 350 Transmission For Sale

The Turbo (Turbo Hyrdomatic) transmission trade-name belongs to General Motors. The Turbo 350 transmission was one of the first 3 speed automatic transmissions General Motors made. It was introduced in 1969 by Chevy and Olds to replace the 2 speed T300 and Aluminum Powerglide.

Three speed automatic transmissions offered new benefits to the modern drivers at that time. The major benefits were somewhat obvious, especially for the fuel conscious consumer. However some of the other benefits are not so obvious, such as an extra forward speed, which not only allows for a lower first gear ratio for easier acceleration and less stress on the drive-line in whole.

Another positive factor when adding a forward gear is that the engine will last longer because it is turning at lower (RPM’s) revolutions per minute due largely to the extra forward speed. Adding an extra gear relieves much of the stress two forward speeds create due to less load ratings on the gears and torque converter.

In 1980 a new style torque converter was developed called a lock up torque converter. The lock up is a complicated feature to describe, so lets say it decreased operating RPM’s in high gear, thus increasing fuel mileage another 2 to 4 miles per gallon.

Calling the T350 a success is an understatement. Right off the bat it was a fine addition to the GM transmission lineup and was remarkably trouble free from the beginning. It was one of those occasions where a new product was not full of problems needing to be ironed out.

The demand is not as great anymore for T350 transmissions since they have been out of production in the mid to late ’80’s. The supply of used T350 tranny’s is practically nil, unless you buy a 350 that has been rebuilt already. But who knows how well it was rebuilt in the first place.

The most popular way to buy a Turbo 350 Transmission for sale is a rebuilt version. One of the reasons we suggest against an old used transmission, even if it is a low mileage transmission, is that automatic transmissions are hydraulic by nature. The hydraulic fluid pressure is contained in sealed circuits to arrive at the destination inside the transmission at the correct pressure.

Since rubber is the material that is used to seal the hydraulic pressures, time and exposure to the cold and hot, humidity and dryness damages rubber seals, even ones never even used. This, obviously makes time a disadvantage for automatic transmissions. The good part is that a Turbo 350 transmission for sale Chevy is cheap to buy. Do yourself a favor and allow us to assist you in your quest for a replacement transmission.

T56 transmission for sale

T56-Borg Warner Transmission For Sale

T56-Borg Warner Transmission For Sale

The T-56 six speed manual transmission was originally designed and built by Borg-Warner for the Dodge Viper and came to be used in a wide range of performance oriented of vehicles from General Motors, Dodge, and Ford Motor Company. The transmission later was built by Tremec Corp, although nothing changed internally. The T-56 has been succeeded by the Tremec TR-6060 transmission in many former T-56 applications, as well as applications requiring greater strength than the T-56 could offer.

Tremec is Transmission Technologies Corporation which specializes in manual transmissions. Currently building some of the Borg Warner Manual transmissions. Being one of the first high performance 6 speeds on the market made it very popular with hot rodders, who were the first people to adapt this transmission for custom usage.

As 6 speed stick shift transmissions became more popular, the above manufacturers started adapting them for use in certain factory ”muscle” cars. It was the only 6 speed manual transmission capable of handling high horsepower at that time.

A local friend of mine (Don) and a shop owner has a small personal collection of the early 60’s and 70’s Mopar/Dodge/Plymouth oddball muscle cars and products. He transplanted one of the original 426 cubic inch Hemi head engines in a 1977 Dodge pickup truck. Well he wanted something more modern than a 4 speed transmission, so we consulted and the T56 was very easily adaptable.

To say the least, so far it has held up well under unimaginable horsepower and weight, and provided the convenience of 2 more forward gears to take advantage a tiny bit of extra fuel mileage and overall drive-ability improvements.

By and large, the T56 was a heck of a good manual transmission with very few if any upgrades are needed upon repair or rebuild other than making sure you buy factory made replacement parts, especially the bearings.

So, if you are looking for something to replace the old 4 or 5 speed in your older car, what a great choice, minimal differences to perform a swap and a pick up of perhaps 3 to 6 miles per gallon of gas.

If you have a vehicle that came from the factory with a T56 manual transmission, the stage is already set. We have the factory replacement units in stock and ready for immediate shipment. If your interests surround a high performance application like my friend Don, call and speak with a trained transmission counselor about how to choose the best T56 application for your custom project.

Manual Transmission Problems

Manual transmission problems?

Manual transmission problems?

There is a die-hard group of people who swear by manual transmissions. Their belief, in part is that manual transmission problems seem to be less common and less expensive to fix than automatic transmissions. I think they are a bit out of date a have prejudice towards manual or standard transmissions.

Manual transmissions represent a small percentage of transmissions that come in cars and trucks from the factory. Sporty cars are more suitable for standard transmissions for the pure enjoyment of shifting while driving and the feel that goes with it. Although, all of the super sports cars like Porsche and BMW come with very high technology automatic shift transmissions that emulate the control a manual transmission can only provide, before the new breed of automatics arrived.

I don’t have the numbers to represent the percentage of manual transmissions with problems compared to automatic transmissions with problems, however, manual transmissions have a set of issues to deal with all their own.

Although most of the problems come from misuse in driving habits or lubrication issues. Since the group of people who abuse their standard transmissions is growing smaller largely due to the progress in spicing up an automatic transmission and less manuals being made, there are less problems, but I bet the ratio is higher than non-stick shift transmissions.

Abuse is obvious, making the tires spin upon take off and shifting hard or ”banging gears” as we called it, is a sure path to failure. The other issues that plague manual shift transmissions are smaller, yet no less expensive to fix, an old wives tale. In fact, the bottom line is a manual can be very expensive to rebuild if it needs plenty of expensive gears and shafts.

One other concern worth mentioning is lubrication. The days of conventional lubricants are coming to an end. The best lubricants made are synthetic lubricants. Simply put, they are more slippery and stand the heat and cold much better. Synthetics have been a standard” fill” from the factory for years.

When you have manual transmission problems, make sure you seek professional help. For rebuild service or repair service, only genuine factory parts from the factory are acceptable. Aftermarket parts cost less and don’t work as well or last as long. Which makes a cheap unit expensive. Buy with confidence, speak with the manual transmission problem solution experts at GotTransmissions.com and get a great value for your dollar.

Our primary goal is to help you avoid manual transmission problems. We have had a plenty of practice making sure we outfit you with a manual transmission that has value to you, and fits your needs perfectly. Quality is inexpensive compared to cheap, call us and find out why. ASAP Shipping is part of the deal too.

A4LD Transmission For Sale

A4LD Transmission For Sale

A4LD Transmission For Sale

Ah, the A4LD, what’s not to love? In the first few years of Ford’s A4LD transmissions, every transmission shop loved them. Why, they broke down all the time. Some of the the original vehicles that used this transmission were the Ford Explorers, affectionately called the Ford ”Exploder” by transmission men.

In reality it was a good design that needed some structural parts improvements and some shift quality improvements. While this tranny has a bad rap, it turns out as one heck of a good working and reliable transmission once it has been rebuilt properly. Seemingly, it took a long time for Ford and the aftermarket to reinforce the integral weaknesses and improve shift quality, Ford made a bunch of these medium to light duty overdrive transmissions.

Except for the large sized auto lines and F-series of truck lines, this transmission saw duty in the mid sized SUV’s, mid and small pickups and mid to small sized cars. It is hard to imagine how many were out there. Ford discontinued them in the early ’90’s and with little internal modifications and using a new casing came out with an improved computerized version of the A4LD.

Realistically speaking, the most likely and reliable scenario to find a replacement A4LD transmission would be a rebuilt unit based on the age. Transmissions that are old are susceptible to the aging process of time, even if they are not used. Full of rubber seals to insure stability in the hydraulic systems, rubber wears and disintegrates with time, so even a low mileage used unit has time against it.

My suggestion would be a rebuilt transmission. We have A4LD transmission for sale that are rebuilt at very affordable prices. Understanding most A4LD units will be installed in older cars, we price them accordingly for the person who is very budget conscious.

This is one of those unusual circumstances where the age of a transmission plays a part in our pricing structure. We want our customers to be able to afford to get a vehicle that needs a rebuilt transmission back on the road. Allow us to surprise you, call us now and find out how fast and affordable you can get your car back on the road. GotTransmissions.com.
