4T65E High Performance Street/Strip model
Starting at $1649.95
Our High Performance Street/Strip rebuilds include all of the features that the standard rebuild and steps it up a notch! Each High Perf rebuild is custom tailored to match your vehicle and performance level keeping in mind your current and future plans. With several hundered High Performance 4T65E rebuilds in the books since 2001 we have learned what works very well and a number of great combinations to be reliable with a wide array of power levels. The Base High Performance Street/Strip model will work well in a wide range of power levels from stock to roughly the 280-300whp level which is getting into the low 13 / high 12 second quarter mile mark. For power levels and goals higher than this we offer a few upgrades to keep the transmission durable and the main weak links of the 4T65E are the input shaft and the factory dual chain set and we can help which upgrades are best for your application. The reason we suggest this model over the standard type rebuild for the factory supercharged cars is due to the higher output of the supercharged engines in stock form. The 4T65E has basically no internal calibration changes between all of its models and options so this means that a transmission that was built for a 180HP engine is the same setup from the factory found behind the 300+HP LS4 5.3 V8 engine equipped vehicles. PCM/TCM tuning has a lot of effect on how these transmissions work and also has a direct effect on shift firmness and feel since the line pressure and shift points are controlled electrically and this is what helps make this transmission very versatile from the factory but has its limitations in the performance world. Many of the early High Performance rebuilds that we did were built to work with a 100% stock pcm tune and the result was a much quicker and firmer shifting transmission and not having to heavily rely on an aggressive tune. This works well for vehicles with stock to moderate buildups while higher HP setups will require custom pcm/tcm tuning for best results. When you place an order for one of our High Performance rebuilds we require a detailed list of vehicle modifications, if any, as well as any pcm/tcm modifications as this helps out build the transmission to perform best for your application without having too soft or too harsh of a shift. Below is a list of basic list of what goes into these rebuilds.
-Thorough inspection during dissassembly
-Any questionable or excessively worn hardpart is replaced
-Hardened 4th clutch shaft
-New Morse HyVo HV-093 V8 spec Gemini chain set
-Seals, gaskets, orings, and teflon sealing rings

-New Forward apply band
-New thrust washers
-Common failure bushings replaced, others inspected and replaced as needed
-New stator support bearing

-New aftermarket input sun gear
-Reconditioned input clutch piston
All new solenoids in valve body including
-Borg Warner PCS for 97-02, OE AC Delco/Bosch for 03+ model years
-Borg Warner TCC PWM solenoid

-Pressure switch manifold cleaned and tested, replaced as needed
-Wiring harness thoroughly tested and replaced as needed
-Sonnax Sure-Cure kit which includes these upgraded parts
-TCC apply valve

-TCC relieve valve
-Improved boost valve and sleeve
-AFL valve and sleeve
-Lube tube retainer, improved check balls, pump slide pivot pin
-Transgo Shift Kit- We slightly modify this kit for improved high throttle shift feel on modified cars as well as
make a few other changes internally to quicken and firm up shift feel. The extra modifications alone make a
very significant difference in shift feel and keep clutch packs alive under high powered abuse. We set up
every transmission different to best match the vehicle it will be installed in and this is why we must have
your specific vehicle details as we do not build a one-fits-all model.
-12 Month / 15K mile warranty on base High Performance rebuilds and base plus upgraded input shaft builds.
-6 Month / 6K mile warranty on more aggressive builds with upgraded input shaft and 7/8" Single chain sets
For vehicles that are in the 280-300whp+ range there are a few upgrades that we suggest depending on your mod list, what type of tires you use and if you race the car, and if it is a daily driver or a limited use track or play toy. Below are the common upgrades that we suggest for the higher powered builds and we will help you select which ones you do and do not need.
-Upgraded input shaft +$449.99
The stock input shaft works well in lower powered applications but once your start getting into the
280-300whp range it becomes a major weak link and when it breaks it will leave you stranded.
Vehicle weight also has an effect on the input shaft and different vehicles will put more or less stress on this part
-7/8" Drive chain upgrade +$299.95
The 4T65E in stock form uses a dual chain setup which is referred to as the Gemini chain set. The stock chains
that came in the V6 models are the weakest form and can show their problems on a wide range of power levels
though they often survive into the lower 300whp ranges and driving habbits, abuse, racing, tires have a large
effect on their durability. In 2005 when the LS4 5.3 V8 engine was used in a few vehicles using the 4T65E
transmission a slightly stronger chain was installed and has proven to be a bit stronger and resist fatigue better
than its predecessor so we use this chain in our Base High Perf builds, but for those looking to make 325+whp and
or also make often trips to the dragstrip with drag radials or slicks on the car we strongly suggest the 7/8" chain
upgrade as this will take much more abuse than the stock dual chain setup. The 7/8" single chain upgrade will
work well on cars making upwards of 400+whp and over that it too can be a weak link and special care and
maintenance should be considered. Unfortunately as of now there is no longer a stronger option than this.
GM Racing offered a special 1" wide single chain set that was rated to 800+ HP but was discontinued and no longer
available. We are looking into a solution for a stronger upgrade as are a few other companies as if and when
a next-step-up offering is available we will add that also.
-Custom 12 Clutch 3rd Clutch pack +$99.95
We spent a lot of time working on this upgrade and is highly recommonded for use in all builds making 350whp and
higher power levels, ESPECIALLY turbo builds that are producing over 400whp. 3rd clutch has always been a
concern area of this transmission and requires special attention on the high powered cars as does the tune.
There are a number of different style clutch plates out there for this transmission and the bottom line is this.....
NO clutch will live if the transmission and pcm/tcm are not properly set up to handle higher power levels.
