v6 4l60e vs v8 4l60e

[matqld]

does anyone know the difference between the two??? my v8 trans needs fixing unfortunately although=---i have a good condition v6 trans same yr model just sitting around gathering dust.. is it possible to use it behind my ls1 just by swapping the bellhousing/outut?????

[acarmody]

I think the input shaft is different too.

[matqld]

is it as easy as swapping the back bit and the bellhousing?????

[acarmody]

As far as I know you take the bellhousing off (good luck with that, really really REALLY hard) and then remove the oil pump and that removes the input shaft. But I'm no expert.

Have a gander here, first page: basement 4l60e buildup (photos) - LS1TECH

cheers bud...any other ideas?????

[moose man]

4L60-E simply means:
4 - 4 forward speeds
L - Longitudinally mounted (front to back)
60 - Torque handling capability
E - Electronically controlled

So, all mechanical components will be capable of handling the torque, but whether they fit the different engine is another thing. Electronic valve body etc might operate differently too, along with ratios etc.
This transmission has been manufactured since about 1987, so you can imagine has gone through a lot of changes since.

That is interesting, I thought it was only an aftermarket upgrade.

Not standard in Australian Manufactured cars with 4l60e

Fbody's and some other yank cars it came standard due to work/towing needs

I was under the impression it was a aftermarket because I had to get one installed in my VY SS gearbox.
