overhaul kit for the Allante tranny? 4T60 or 4T60E rebuild kits

I was just wondering if someone made one and how much it cost. I was wondering because im planning on suping up the engine and putting a turbo or possibly dual turbos on my allante and i hear that the trannys give out after so much horse power. Any help would be great appriciated. Thanks.

Not that im aware of, but it may depend on year.


As for the turbo(s) which engine, and how much boost you planning to run?

Re: Is there an overhaul kit for the Allante tranny?

Yes, there is a rebuild kit available. I rebuilt mine myself. Use a 4T60 or 4T60E rebuild kit depending on what year of Allante you have. You will have to buy a valve body gasket that is specific for the Allante. There is also an extra 4th gear clutch disk on the Allante F7 transmission but mine were good so I reused it. It cost me about $80 for the rebuild kit. I believe that there are aftermarket hardened parts available for this transmission to make them tougher.

Adding a turbo would be very neat but it'll be a challenge. The hardest part will be getting the fueling correct. Does your car have a 4.1L? You might consider swapping in a 4.9L and using the heads and intake from your 4.1L. You would then use and adjustable fuel regulator to handle the extra fuel requirements. This setup would be good for about 225hp. Good Luck!!

Re: Is there an overhaul kit for the Allante tranny?

if you dont live in a area where you MUST SMOG the car,
things get a whole lot easier for the turbos and the trani mods.
if you got access to a chip burner, and you know how to
program it, it gets even easier.

but, anything and everything can, given enough cash,
modified and hot rod'd. whether a pre-made-kit or
your-own-kit, the results can be ... whatever you want.

pick up a Hot Rod Magazine ....

I have an 89' with a 4.5 however i belive that it is high output because the car scheck thing i did ( it's like carfax only diffrent) had HO after 4.5 liters. And as for boost im not planning to run too much. maybe 7-8 pounds.

Yes there's an overhaul kit for the 4T60 tranny. NAPA has it, but it's not for the faint of heart. This tranny's quite complex...

Yes there is....

Best place (and cheapest) to buy parts is:
http://www.bulkpart.com/

or

http://www.bulkpart.com/Merchant2/me...T60-440-T4kits

I also recommend that you buy a rebuild video. It makes it sooo much easier. Here's a link.
