What?
Turn off the caps lock and break things into paragraphs, we might be able to make sense of what you're saying.

punctuation and spelling would help greatly also.
1)what kind of trans is in the car now?
2)do you have, and is it properly adjusted, the proper throttle valve cable and bracket?
3)if you have a 4l60e in the car right now, you have to have the transmission computer/controller.

Sorry about that but theres no tran in the car right now. But i have everything as far as the computer
were you using junkyard transmissions? i never do trust them. the 4l60e is nothing more than a 700-r4 with electronic control instead of a TV cable. plus, some of the common failures in the 700 were updated on the 4l60e. i would suggest staying with the 4l60e but getting it rebuilt using hi-performance parts. Bowtie Overdrives builds 3 levels and their prices are alot better than any other good company that i've seen. or you could go to the 200-r4, that the monte originally had. it would still need hi-performance parts, but a built 200-4r will hold up better than a 700/4l60.
the 700's first gear ratio is 3.06, the 200's a 2.74. the 200 has a closer ratio gear to gear. this aids your overall acceleration.
stick with the 4l60e! as far as junk yard trannys, i have had excellent luck with them. you should be able to have a 4l60e rebuilt for a round 500 bucks if it is out of the car
I've picked up a few junkyard trannys but I always tore into them before dropping them into a car. It doesnt make much sense to install something that you havn't tore down. Trans rebuild are not too expensive. What costs is to pay a shop to R & R. But as far as junkyard cores go I've had good luck!regalman4925 said:
