I looked at 4L80E's and they are calling them 6 speeds, $700 though.

Yikes?! I wonder where they are sourcing them from?

4L80e are usually $800+ for "runners" around here. Sometimes you'll find them for $500 lusted as cores.

I bought one a few months agfor $250 but the guy was a truck part out guy and he said he used to work at a transmission shop and that the unit I was buying had a worn pump because it had zero oil pressure. I haven't torn it apart yet, tho.

I don't trust any of this, I saw a supercharged 6.2 w/6L90E for $361 from Austria. Supposedly the transmission like the 4L60E above are remans, they could be stealing the plans from GM and doing all the work. I don't know though. Someone should buy one and see. haha

Have Nick do a tear down.

Guat?! That's absolutely NUTS!!!

I sold a refreshed 4L80e to kid in Washington State a few months ago. I think shipping alone was like $450 or something like that....

I dropped it off at the FedEx distribution warehouse on a plywood crate I built for it myself.

No way in Hell are those guys over there getting these units that cheap, and including shipping costs!

I think it is important to be aware of these scams, one doesn't know the quality of a reman transmission they are getting.

Those guys ARE really good at copying stuff...I'm now wondering if they dissected a transmission and copied it? Or copied replacement parts? I can see that happening maybe?

Regardless, I wouldn't trust it.

its worth it just to sell as a core, lol

They make a lot of this stuff, their parts are on rock auto.
