    Yeah, new transmission.

    Your 4T60E vacuum powered transmission can barely hold the power a N/A 3800 makes...let alone a modded/boosted one.

    For more mod info...check the link in my signature.

    Uh..it'll hold decently. The 96 Series II cars came with a 4T60HD. The 7/8 chain setup we use was originally found in a 4T60.

    I'm not a fan of the 60 because it's often the diff that goes bad, there's no easy install shift kit and it's vacuum controlled. But it's not a total POS. It's just old technology.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.
