which auto in a vr

[tenggo]

Hi there, which auto goes in a 1994 vr v6 acclaim. I thought it was a 4l60e, or is it a t700.

[ephect]

yeap its the 4L60e and the model of trans you should be after is 4hdd or 5hdd.

4hdd = first letter being the year it was made ie.1994

[tenggo]

i thought so, cheers for that. I have a guy trying to sell me a t700 saying it will fit into the vr, can they work? i thought they were for vn vp .

[ephect]

yea the t700 is for vn/p, which is cable operated so short answer, no. not without screwing round

the 4L60e e being for electronic, which is all controlled by ur ECU and it'll throw a hissy fit logging codes.

stick with with whats made for it and u shouldnt have any dramas

[tenggo]

Thanks a heap, just saved me buying the wrong one...

[tenggo]

Although the guy selling it reckons it is an electronic one... does this make any sense?

[ephect]

no probs

[ephect]

technically the VP & VQ got the 4L60 which is cable operated and the VR-VS got the 4L60e.

if it has anything like 4hdd or 3hdd on it, that denotes the year it was manufactured. get that number off it if you can. that will tell you the year then we can narrow it down whether its electronic or not

Like ephect says 3HDD or 4HDD are the correct ones - I'm not sure but I think some 5HDDs may fit as the VR was still being made in early '95. The sure test is whether the plugs are exactly the same.

Question for ephect: - what is a "hissy fit"???

[ephect]

yeap should be that simple! as hako posted, just check the plugs, but 99% it should be fine vr-vs same plugs

Question for ephect: - what is a "hissy fit"???

lol a hissy fit is a tantrum, throwing a wobbly generally, the misses throws a hissy fit!

Very familiar with those!

ok cheers for that i was told by holdens that 3HDD would not run in my car the 5HDD is out off a vr so guessing that should be alright

[chrrr]

My Vr has a t700 (non electronic) trans, dont know how much hassle it was for the last owners to stick in. I get 4 error codes that are trans related, 1 of them been having somthing to do with my torque converter lockup not working. hopefully all getting fixed this weekend
