how difficult is a 4l60e rebuild
i have a 4l60e that is acting up. i had posted in the lt1 swap forums there. when hard acceleration from stand still the car breaks traction rev limits and continues to spin tires and bounce limit until i let off the gas, soon as i do so it shifts into second, is this common? if there is something the matter with the 4l60e, how difficult is a rebuild? i see videos advertised online on how to do it yourself with step by step procedures for just the 94+ 4l60e. the type of work i do, we have to read legands <schematics> for trouble shooting and im mechanically enclined. my question is, is it very difficult? or straight forward? would a video be recommended? or do you guys have any other suggestions on how to educate yourself on a tear down/rebuild.
thanks guys
thanks guys

It is a very difficult unit to rebuild.
If I can do it, so can you. Pick up a video and an atsg manual from e-bay and review it before diving in.

I carry the ATSG build books and the DVD from technical video for these units. I have everything that is needed to build this unit right. If you have any questions on this let me know?

I was not aware Dana had the books and video or I would have suggested Pro-Built first. I have purchased his parts, and both quality and service are great.

took it up the street again last night alittle <no tags on it yet haha> and gently accelerating it went up to 3500 rpms, when i let off the gas it shifted.... could this be a throttle positioning sensor issue?
