Your short video just saved me $2200. by knowing the difference between the 4L60E and the 4L65E. Thanks for your assistance. (Buying a pig in a poke, on on-line purchasing)
What are the differences between the 4L60e and 4L65e? Any gearing or anything else? And differences between 4L70e? I have 2008 silverado. I'm wanting to place a order.
Ive got the 5.3 liter upgrade (300-05253E) for my 2002 GMC Sonoma 4.3L SLS. Does every model only have 1 transmission or different gears ratios for a heavy duty towing option?
I have a 2002 Silverado originally V6 I am swapping a LS into it. Will the V6 transmission work with the LS V8? If so is it a 298mm or 300mm? Thank you!
They are 1/2" to 1" longer depending on the Bell type. You won't need a different drive shaft, just a different yoke. Give us a call at 800-708-0087 and we can help locate the right one.
I have an 05 1500 with 4.3l 2wd. I know I can't use a four-wheel drive transmission. But after three days of searching I can't get an answer as to which version of the 4 l60e I need. And I can't get mine in the garage to remove it until I have a replacement transmission. We kind of puts me in a bind but I can't find anything about the 4.3 L of the 05 year
What transmissions require an ECU? Why? I want to change my 73 big block corvette to an over-drive transmission. What are my limitations? Max hp and torque not to exceed 400 ft/lbs.
I’m looking at one of your Transmissions for my early 99 suburban. It’s a 4x4 but we are going 4x2 and doing away with the transfer case and front diff, do you know if a 2wd 4l60e transmission will drop right in? Thank you.
I am ls swap my 1994 caprice classic with a 2003 Cadillac Escalade esv 6.0. I wanted to use the 4.3 v8 transmission 4l60e that is already in my car. What will I need to make this happen
If it is a 2wd it will be direct replacement they are essentially the same Transmission but if it is 4x4 you will need to match up the correct 4x4 extension housing with your Transfer Case but is possible. Thank you for choosing Monster Transmissions.
@@everydaycar3518 That's because that is an LS Base converter and transmission. It will likely have pilot clearance and bolting up issues to the flex plate.
I have a 93" Chevy van G20. How do I find out what type of transmission I have ? It's a 5.7 V8 but don't know where to look to find out if it's a 4l60, 4l80, or 704 ? Would it be in the VIN# ??
You can count the pan bolts, 16 Pan bolts indicate a 4L60E, 18 Pan Bolts indicate a 4L80E Pan bolt count to trans can also be found here: www.monstertransmission.com/Identify-Your-Transmission_ep_106-1.html

Thank you for reaching out to us. In the 2016 you most likely have a 6L80E transmission a 2009 Transmission would not be compatible with the newer truck. Give our team a call at 800-708-0087 and we can help you find the correct transmission!
Hello! The difference in the 2007 Avalanches transmission is it has a 15 pin harness with an Input Speed Sensor, the 2003 4L60E would not be interchangeable with it.
Yes it should. It will be a good idea to check the fluid and if any debris is in the pan before installing. Be sure to flush the coolant lines as well.
ugh i need a new transmission. i just dont know what to do. 4l60e is like 2 grand but a 6l80e and standalone harness is 3500 and a rebuilt 4l60e is around a grand.
Thank you for the comment! We can help you pick out the right transmission, give one of our knowledgeable product specialists a call at 800-708-0087 ext 1
What you have in your 2002 Chevy Tahoe with the 5.3L will be a 4L65E since it is a LS design motor your Transmission will require the 300mm input shaft not the standard 30spline input shaft the 4L60E will have. Here is a link to the 4L65E Transmission www.monstertransmission.com/Custom-Built-Monster-4L65E-Transmission-Torque-Converter_p_18573.html#.X7fsU2hKiUk
Yes we do offer both Variants for 2012 it could have a 6 speed 6L80/90 version or you could have what we call a 4L75 that will have the 17pin connector and the ISS Input speed sensor.

@monstertransmissions I have a 1996 Chevy Silverado 4x4 will a 2001 4l60e work in that truck? I noticed the bottom two bolt holes go into the pan on the ls motor but not the 5.7 vortec
Yes except for the really early 1994 Valve bodies. But typically you can interchange the Valve bodies between 4L60Es. Thank you for choosing Monster Transmissions.
The 4L60E has a 30spline input shaft and what you need is a 4L65E with the 300mm input shaft to be able to mate up to your LS Design Motor. Here is a Link for the Transmission you need www.monstertransmission.com/Custom-Built-Monster-4L65E-Transmission-Torque-Converter_p_18573.html#.X7fsU2hKiUk
Yes your 03 Tahoe 5.3L Transmission will work with the 98 Suburban IF it has a LS Style motor either the 4.8l/5.3l/6.0l and it will bolt right up and work fine plug and play. Thank you for choosing Monster Transmission.
Unfortunately It will not mate up you will need a 4L60E 2pc case with the 30 spline input shaft not the 03 Tahoe 5.3L 4L65E with the 300mm input shaft to be able to work with your Vortec 350.
If you are trying to install a Converter that requires a 300mm input shaft ( That was bolted up to a LS Design Motor) on a Transmission that has a 30 spline (which the 4l60E from 1993-98 will have a 30 spline) The converter will just free spin and not hook up with the Splines of the input shaft and potentially wipe out the splines it does touch.

They have different electronics so it wont be a direct swap, you would have to switch the wire harness and EPC. You could use the EPC and wiring harness from the 2kcd but we recommend getting new parts for it. If you need any technical support or parts for this give us a call at 800-708-0087.
Yes it will bolt up to the 5.3L but depending on what you are using for a Controller will determine what you can use for the Transmission for example since 2006 is the Transition year it could be a 4L65E with the 13pin connector or it could be the 4L70E with the 15pin connector with the ISS Input speed sensor so the main point is to ensure your electronics match up.
