A thousand pardons if I've breached any forum etiquette by posting this here but I wanted to get the attention of the Michigander's.
Looking for any recommendations for a Detroit area performance transmission shop: honest, fair pricing and that can build me a rugged, reliable transmission ala Monster, Level 10, etc.
My "newer" GM Dealership bought and installed transmission just trashed (something about blowing the reverse support and cracking the case) which was a replacement for the one I blew out somewhere in Missouri only 2 years and 35k miles ago. Local Detroit area dealership won't honor the warranty which was supposed to be 3 years/100K miles because I have a "modified" engine. Escalation to GM Customer Service didn't help.
Technically yes, modified: Banks CAI, Pacesetter long tube headers with Corsa exhaust, Dart Stage 1 engine heads and a Nelson tune.
I didn't think this would be THAT much power overload but research here indicates this "may" have been more than the paltry 4L60E could handle.
So looks like the next transmission is on me and further research here indicates the target is a built 4L60E or 4L65E with heavy duty components. No plans near term for any forced air mods, main objective is RELIABILITY!!! (and at least make it another 100K miles before the next one)
Please let me know.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
