Swapping from TR6060 to 4L80E - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

GTKILLER · 08-08-2014, 03:33 PM

I got a quote today for 9500$ to swap over to 4L80E. Guys who have made the swap is that about right . That's a lot of money to go automatic I cant wrap my mind around 9500$.

personally sounds high...depends on the 4l80 and how bullet proof it is...I got a stage 4 with computer and a bad ass stall , tranny cooler and all parts needed for around 4k shipped from jakes..depending also on driveshaft ...I went carbon fiber ...most don,t go with a stage 4...or a cf driveshaft...but if you did , this would put in at a 5000.00 labor charge for a days work...

That is a lot of money for the swap.

I wonder how hard to swap from M6 to A6....

Trob85 · 08-08-2014, 09:13 PM

After recently doing this swap I had 250 for a flywheel (coming from a auto) 650 for a harness, a what would be 4000 for a 1000hp transmission, 600 for a driveshaft and 1000 for the converter. With all my parts I was at 6500 you might be around the same coming from a m6 because I was able to use the stock shifter and parts. The only thing I could think of in that price would have to include install and the tune for it. So depending on the shop rates it might not be out of the realm of possibility.

Wow! Guess I will stay with my M6.

I don't know that everyone would need a $4,000 transmission. I see drivable cores for <$600. I guess an billet input shaft and other upgraded parts could run up the price.

I got all harden parts from jakes I had my 4L built at stage 4 to 5 trans and went with a FTI 3000 M/D stall and all other parts and labor I had around $6,000 in it.

Jake's Performance Transmission:
3500$ -Stage 3 Full Manual Valve Body D3 pro-brake
850$-Single disc billet converter
125$- Yoke
65$- Cross-member adapter
800$-DSS Aluminum drive shaft
250$-Lockout Sidewinder Shifter
5,590-Total
640$-8hrs Labor
What am I missing because this is along ways from 9500$

Ok is jakes doing the install because some things on this list are ridiculous. First off the driveshaft is 650 on driveshaft shops website not 800 so that's way to high. And what do you need a yoke for its a slip yoke style that comes on the driveshaft and mates directly to the intermediate shaft in the transmission so there's 275 dollars I saved you. Labor at 80 an hour well that's about average. Are they going to do the tuning? Also have them give you a breakdown list explaining the price.

GTKILLER · 08-09-2014, 11:59 AM

No jakes not doing install just getting my parts from them. Now I see it's doable .

Trob85 · 08-09-2014, 12:08 PM

Yea might shop around on some of those parts, you can find them cheaper else where.

GTKILLER · 08-09-2014, 12:17 PM

4000rpm stall is what my cam is designed for anybody have a high stall that drives it on the street
