I would have to think that our lowly 4-spd transmission gearing has a lot to do with it.... if and when the time comes, does anyone know if there are any newer 5 spd transmissions that would bolt up?

After posting my question, I knew I should have edited it to ask if there is a 5spd AUTO transmission........ wouldn't a newer style tranny have better gearing if there is such an animal?

The 4L60E that is in the Hummer H3 should bolt right up....its a 4 speed but does have a lower 1st gear....

The are 5speed autos that will bolt right up,(to the engine at least) but finding/making a computer to controll it properly is the hard part...

Yep, my mechanic fitted up a 4L60E when I had my tranny replaced, but it was gonna be another 900 bucks to upgrade to a new one. The insurance company refused and said they wouldn't warranty if I did that. I am still out 2K from that work, the company went tits up about two weeks ago. No money to me, but the Pennsylvania Attorney General is filing a class action against them and said I could come away with more than I paid, and the car dealership is refunding the full warranty purchase price. So, at least I get some back, but that just means I could have done the 4L60E swap...

So what "upgrade" do you get from the 4L60E? Just a lower 1st (better for towing I guess)?

I figured your machine would look much more formidable while barreling through telling everyone to go home!!!
