Available now the
level 5 Extreme Raptor Transmission, the worlds fastest strongest 700R4 / 4L60E
transmissions. Stronger because it has the "Smart Tech Input
Drum". This drum is able to use 9 Red
Eagle clutches and 8 full
thickness Kolene steels with zero-flex of the backing plate. This was
never possible before. Faster because it has our PATC "Power Gear"
planetary. This planet gear has the correct gear ratios so you don't get
the usual RPM / power drop-off between first and second gears. This
gearing will lower your quarter mile time by 3/10 to 5/10 of a second.
This transmission is able to handle extreme horse power, higher than any other
700R4 / 4L60E transmission ever built before.
The
new GM 6 speed transmissions are an absolute engineering marvel. With
over 400 Parameters for transmission logic it's a very complicated
transmission by design, however mechanically it's very durable and
stronger than its 4 speed brothers when tuned correctly. We offer
complete dyno proven transmission tuning logic options to bring the
new 6 speed transmission to life. Our tuning is designed to work with
our components or factory components as well. With over 15 years of
tuning experience we offer the complete package for any vehicle. There
are tremendous drivability and performance benefits to be gained by
simply tuning just the transmission control module of the new GM 6
speeds. However in saying this, there are also a ton of mistakes to
make as well. Our logic module was designed in close relationship with
the engineers and design team to bring the most reliable 6 speed
algorithms' on the market. With careful consideration to, friction
coefficients, apply / release timing, and extensive thermograph
testing, we took a scientific approach when tackling the new 6-speeds.

#77733-06K GM
700R4, 4L60, 4L60E, 4L65E, 4L70E
#77733-06K. This new Smart Tech
input housing has again turned the world on it's ear by
revolutionizing the 3-4 clutch pack issues that have plagued this
transmission for years. The new Smart-Tech Housing kit #77733-06K
addresses five inherent weak areas of the 700R4, 4L60E, 4L65E, 4L70E
input housing:
1.
Flexing / bowing of the 3-4 backing plate
2.
Limited 3-4 clutch torque capacity
3.
Repeated 3-4 snap ring blow-out
4.
Input housing breakage near the input shaft spline.
5.
Input housing fatigue
Flexing / Bowing of OE and other
aftermarket backing plates is eliminated with this heavy duty bolt-on
backing plate. This unique design ensures even clamping of the 3-4
clutches in higher horsepower, higher pressure applications. By
eliminating the 3-4 snap ring and using a thinner yet much stiffer
apply plate, space is made available for additional frictions and
steels. This makes is possible to simultaneously increase the clutch
torque capacity and eliminate the possibility of retaining ring
blow-out. A steel reinforcement sleeve prevents breakage in the spline
area. Housing fatigue failure resistance and housing life are
significantly improved with a special treatment process that reduces
stress crack formation.
Increased 3-4 clutch torque
capacity will accept either:
Eight .067" frictions
with seven .095" steels
Nine .062" frictions
with eight .077" steels
Eliminates snap ring blow out
Special Treated housing is
significantly more resistant to fatigue failure
Includes steel reinforcement
sleeve and overrun piston.

Demonstration showing
the 4L60E 3-4 clutch pressure plate flexing with only 110 PSI apply
pressure. This is a Brand New GM pressure plate with HD stamped on
it (the strongest GM). The fixtures are two 10-32 nuts glued with
epoxy to opposite sides of the top of the pressure plate. Eye bolts
are screwed into the nuts and aluminum rods inserted into the
eyebolts. This visually demonstrates the bowing/ flexing/ dishing
that happens to the 3-4 clutch applies. You can only imagine the
extreme flexing that takes place on a quick apply at a 190 + PSI.
This is exactly why this clutch pack has such a terrible reputation.

"The Next Big
Thing".PATC has developed a new 6 pinion
planet gear set for 700R4 / 4L60E transmissions. This will be the
biggest thing in 700R4 advancements in years. These will have a 2.84
to 1 first gear, 1.56 to 1 second gear, 1 to 1 third gear and .70 to
1 overdrive ratio. This close ratio 700R4 gear set will have a
11.72% less RPM drop between 1st and 2nd than the wide
(stock) ratio gear set. In other words the close ratio gear set will
only have 88.28% as much RPM drop as the wide ratio gear set. This
is what people have been asking for, for years. These will work on
any 4L60E type transmission without a gear ratio error code, if the
PCM is modified. The carrier is made from E4340 billet steel and the
pinion gears are 9310 steel. With the billet sun gear made from
9310M steel. This gear set is used to reduce torque multiplication /
rotating speed in the transmission in first gear. This improves
track applications that overpower the rear tires upon launch. This
is common with numerically high final drive ratios. Now you will
have a choice between the wide ratio or the new close ratio gear
sets. In first gear this close ratio gear set has a 7.2% numerically
lower final drive ratio. It has been reported that the 2.84 gear set
could lower your quarter mile time as much as 4/10 of a second over
the 3.06 gear set. This gear set has been in research and
development for over one year. You might ask why 6 pinion gears. The
answer is because high horse power motors can eat the small needle
bearings up in the pinion gears. The solution is to spread the load
over 50% more needle bearings and at the same time building the
planet gear set out of a higher grade steel. The first 50 are in
production now and the approximate release date is May 2009. We have
finished the testing in our test truck with the following findings.
The gear noise in manual low is reduced by at least 50% compared to
a stock OEM planet gear and at full throttle there was no noticeable
power drop on the 1st to 2nd shift. Testing will begin
later this week in an 1100 horse power C5 Corvette. The car runs
9.56 seconds now. Nothing will be changed but the front planet gear
then tested to see the difference. Testing should be completed by
6-1-2009. Patent
Pending
Here
are the test results from the weekend of May 30-31, 2009. Both where
run for the base time then nothing was changed but the front six
pinion planet gear then retested to determine the time difference.
The
first car is a C5 Corvette with an 1100 horse power blower motor.
The best time with the factory planet gear was 9.56 and the time
with the new 2.84 six pinion planet gear was 9.25. This is a
whopping 3/10 of a second faster in the quarter mile. The time would
have been even better if the 3-4 clutch wouldn't have been slipping.
Perhaps as much as 1/2 second better then the factory gear ratio.
The
second test was with a 460 horse power all-wheel-drive Chevy
Cyclone. The best time with the factory planet gear was 13.10 and
the time with the new 2.84 six pinion planet gear was 12.90. This is
a whopping 2/10 of a second faster in the quarter mile. There was
300 to 400 less RPM drop on the 1-2 shift with the new gear ratio.
This truck didn't have a problem with tire spin on take off because
it has all-wheel-drive. The 2/10 of a second was picked up on gear
ratio change only, not on take off.
Update
6-3-2009: Three more reports have come in with 3/10 of a second or
more off of their E. T..
This
gear was built for the 1982 on GM 700R4 family of transmissions
only, that includes the 700R4, 4L60, 4L60E, 4L65E and 4L70E model
numbers. For drag racing purposes the 700R4 has too large of a gear
ratio spread between first gear and second gear resulting in too
large of a RPM drop between gears resulting in a large torque drop
(loss). With the new 2.84 gear (1st gear ratio) there is
approximately 500 less of a RPM drop on the first to second full
throttle shift depending on the RPM of the 1-2 shift point. This
gear change also results in a 4% less RPM drop upon the second
(intermediate gear) to third (direct drive, 1 to 1 ratio) shift.
The
purpose of this gear is keep the torque at a higher point on the
torque curve when shifted to second gear from first gear resulting
in a faster elapsed time in a quarter mile. The front planet gear
controls the gear ratios of first and second gear. The 2.84 to 1
gear ratio in first is accomplished by using a larger diameter sun
gear and a smaller diameter pinion gears. At the same time the
pinion gear carrier and the sun gear are made from a higher grade
steel to handle motors with higher horse power and torque levels. In
addition one or two additional pinion gears are added (total of six)
to spread the load (torque) over a larger area and to accommodate
more pinion gear needle bearings. (The OEM stock front planet gear
set has 4 or 5 pinion gears.)
In
testing it was found to result in at least a 3/10 second improvement
in elapsed time in two wheel drive cars and at least a 2/10 second
improvement in elapsed time in all wheel drive cars. As an added
bonus the 2.84 first gear ratio has less tire spin than the 3.06
original equipment first gear ratio making 2WD cars faster on take
off. For the purposes of the 700R4 transmission the 2.84 gears set
would be called the close ratio gear set and the 3.06 original
equipment first gear ratio would be the wide ratio gear set. A wide
ratio gear set would be better for towing and a close ratio gear set
would be better for racing. There are other transmissions with 2.84
first gear ratios or six pinion gears but not for the 700R4 family
of transmissions.
