So I've been needing to get a transmission for a while and came really close to pulling the trigger on a billet CK unit. However, I still wasn't happy about the idea of having another 2oo trans. A good buddy of mine has a 4l80E behind his supercharged 502 truck and it works amazing. I really like the trans controller and the options it gives him (sift points, lock up speed, Shift firmness, etc....). Plus I plan on road racing the car and figured the manual mode with some paddle shifters may be the ticket. Either way, yesterday I picked up 2 used 4l80E transmissions, one from a 97 truck and the other from a 2000 (kind of a 2 for 1 deal, too good to pass up). I'm planning on installing one of these to see if I can get it to fit, if it does, I'll probably get Jake's performance stage2 kit and rebuild it. Now I've been searching on this forum a lot and it seems that most people who have these transmissions have also done a LS motor swap. I couldn't find anyone who has put the 4l80E behind the turbo 6. If you have, please help me out with the following questions.
1. Does the summit racing crossmember for G body's work with our turbo 6 exhaust systems?
2. What's the best way to lengthen the shifter linkage?
3. I have the electronic display speedometer, is there a way to skip the cable and somehow use the signal from the trans?
4. I bought the TCI BOP engine to Chevy Transmission adapter, Will the trans have any fitment issues?
Thanks in advance.
