Maximum-Strength Performance Automatic Transmissions - CHP How It Works

As confused as Blue Oval and Mopar fanatics may be in their misguided hot rodding proclivities, at least they know a good automatic transmission when they see one.As confused as Blue Oval and Mopar fanatics may be in their misguided hot rodding proclivities, at least they know a good automatic transmission when they see one. How else can you explain the overwhelming number of Outlaw 10.5 Mustangs running Powerglides and mega-buck Pro Touring Mopars equipped with 4L60 overdrives? While GM has continually set the gold standard for swap-worthy powerplants-whether they're Rat motors, 350 Chevys, or LS small-blocks-the engineers in the transmission department have never played second-fiddle to the guys in the engine shop. As a testament to the inherent brilliance of their original designs, the Powerglide and TH400 have been staples of on-track competitors for 60 and 50 years, respectively. Likewise, the 700-R4/4L60E has already been in production for nearly 30 years, and it gets better with each of GM's successive iterations.
