Mine went under the wrench today, to get an RPM Stage V 4L60e, and dedicated controller module from TCI.
Sacrilege you say? I agree. I especially liked seeing it holding just under 31 MPG, at 67 MPH, with the 0.6:1 gearing in 6th. But a drinker, whom I met head on, SQUARE, 110MPH+ combined, did not agree, and really folded both of my sticks to the point where each had extra knees / ankles / etc. But I'm here; he's needed butter for 6 years (he's toast), so I'm over it. So now, all is back in relative order, except that stick trannies, and MY 2 sticks don't play nice together. The swap should be done by Fri 10 / 14. When done, I'll shoot snappics of the work, make annotations to FSM, and post up here. In the meantime, anyone on the forum boards here already done this? Quote:
Anyone have pics / specs / parts [new] schematics??? The ZF has 32K documented, and can be had cheap. PM @ me, if interested here... Last edited by Schrade; 12-10-2012 at 05:58 PM. |

john becker did his car and posts often.
LPE converted a couple of the TT ZR-1s and a ZR-1 with an auto will work very well. the mounting for the c beam has some challenges and the conversion isn't cheap due to the dedicated tranny controller and high cost of the trans what are you doing for the flex plate? quite a few ZR-1s have been modded with auto trans and made to work quite well. I'm all for it. my knees are shot and driving the stick is getting more painful all the time.

As much as I [think I] know, I do NOT know what TT version Z-car is. Prototypical, perhaps? The 'innerds' went into a '95 LT1 auto housing; so the mount isn't supposed to be an issue. None-the-less, the shop Mayhem Motorsports in Raleigh, did add in $$ for driveshaft length modification. ??? I have seen the flexplate. Don't remember the name, but the itemized estimate was flexplate $159... If I can copy / paste the .xml estimate, I will do so. Got it... ![]() |

I have done a few of these.
You can use stock C4 auto driveshaft (no custom driveshaft needed) also use stock C4 automatic C-beam and stock C4 dipstick. Yeap PI has both measurements for 4L60 and 4L80 Torque Converters thanks to yours truely ![]() Also exhaust will need to be modified to fit around auto trans. How much horsepower you making in that Z? Pete

It is stock; no mods, except for M Haibeck's Memory Calibration module, which MIGHT get it close to original power for a '90 car, or MARGINALLY more... So stock C4 D/S will hold Z car's power / TQ? No mods are planned; only PROPER tune / maintenance (famous last words). It might have some fluid deposits (crankcase, injectors), with 22 years on the clock; 32K mi not-with-standing... |

I put an LT5 motor into a '67 Camaro with a 700r4 transmission. Mark at Street and Performance made the flex plate for me. www.lateral-g.net/members/mitchell

I don't see why we need to promote other companies that have nothing to do with our LT5 or ZR-1's most of these companies would not even look our way.
We have all the telant/parts from our very own ZR-1 supporting members. I can't think of one part that we can't get or make from our very own ZR-1 Registry members. If our own group has it why go outside of it. Support your local business ![]() Just saying. Pete P.S. Thank You Schrade . . . . . . . . .
