Hi all,

The 4L60E in my truck decided to lose 3rd (and possibly) OD on the way to an auction this morning, and due to it's age, I'd think a rebuild would be more cost effective than a new/reman one.

Can anyone recommend a shop they have personally used / heard good things from in the Williamsburg/Hampton/Newport News/VA Beach, etc area?

If I'm going the rebuilt option, I want it done right, not by some crappy chain that will build it so it breaks again right out of warranty, or requires 4 R&R's to "make it right".

I baby the truck as it is, so all I need is a stock rebuild. Any idea what this may run me?

Here is where the trans is currently at:

It makes a rattling sound when stopped and accelerating until 2nd gear, but it will not rattle if you start in 1 and shift to OD at 10MPH or so.

The 1-2 upshift is fine, as is reverse. When shifting into 3rd (around 30MPH) , it will drop back into 1st, and really rev up the engine. If I completely let off the throttle, or give it a bit of gas from 20-30 and let off, it will shift into 3rd. Whether it shifts in OD or not I can't tell. Seems to around 50, but it "feels" like the revs are higher than normal.

It will downshift 4-3-2-1 with no issues.
Truck has 129K, transmission has 30K (Jasper reman, out of warranty)

 

Man, no one in SE VA knows of a good shop?

I might have a line on a good rebuilder in Suffolk, but I'll have to wait until Monday to find out.
