In this video we take the Nova and continue to try and upgrade it, even if it really hates me and doesn’t want to be upgraded. Instagram: / dickhamm Patreon: / dickhamm

Everyone hates on the 60e. I love it! That trans has bought me a couple cars, a bunch of tools and an awesome Christmas for the kids last year! BTW, get an extension on that filter. It needs to sit on the bottom of the pan. Probably not your biggest concern right now. Sorry man.
@DickHamm4 жыл бұрын
This TCI pan actually takes a shallow filter, it has feet that hold it up kinda crazy! Thanks for looking out

Glad to see you fit a shift kit because it will help your et’s and the increase in pressure will stop clutch packs and band slipping. The sungear will be the next weak link. Fully built they can handle 600 ponies. Shame about the motor. I’m not as adventurous as you and left my setup to a specialist but it did cost $$$. Looking forward to the next episode and my money’s on piston failure at the gudgeon pin.
@DickHamm4 жыл бұрын
I’m still contemplating what I want to do! Watching the video I could tell I was still having a shifting issue. So it’s frustrating lol 60e lives on in failure infamy

Sucks the engine broke. But I guess a positive is that you didn’t break it at the racetrack. I’m curious to see the next video. I’m wondering if maybe the engine was already hurt?

@leeroy604 жыл бұрын
That sucks bro. At first I thought you killed the trans. At least you could maybe save some of the top end parts. I bet you’ll have a new engine in that thing in no time. Best of luck and good luck on getting ready for LS fest west.

damn dude, that sucks. but no one died, dont need the car to get to work tomorrow, game will go on. also i did something similar on my 80e. pulled what i assumed was the boost valve and staring at the pics like wtf? doesnt even look close. the transgo instructions seem kinda vague, probably meant for transmission builders, not some weekend hack lol.

@cfmechanic4 жыл бұрын
My guess is it over revved. I see it over and over again on youtube guys do overdrive 4l60/4l80 etc and trans fights the whole way wont shift third or 4th without hitting limiter or trans sensing tq convertor slip etc. Makes me happy to keep an old school 3 spd. Planning for gear vendor next year. Great vid though. Makes me feel better about my motor lol i have changed pistons na motor way more times than i would like 4 or 5 sets i loose count but have never windowed my dart shp block. Knock on wood.
