Are 4l60e transmissions interchangable in the 1989-1998 Chevy and gmc k1500??
I own a shop, and think this; The electronics are in fact different between a 94 and a 95. The 94 uses an OBD-1 computer, and the 95 uses an OBD-2 computer system. Both of them are (should be) 4L60e transmissions, and you should be able to swap the electronics from the 94 to the 95, and make it work, but this I'm not 100% sure of. The best way to find out, would be to call a junkyard. They pay big bucks to get a program, or books that tells everything that will interchange. This may even involve removing the pan, and changing the electronics inside the transmission as well. The speedometer connection may also be different in how it is calibrated, or the pulse it supplies the computer. Glad to help out, Good Luck!!!
Will a chevy 350 small block fit easily into my ford ranger?
Both answers are wrong and answers like Shawn D's just makes me mad. He posts like he really knows the truth and answering with fact.. When he aint and dont. Yes a small block chevy will fit just fine in a ford range. The only two probs you run into is with the chevy the dizzy is in the rear and hits the firewall and cowl. We cut out and made a box in top part of firewall to cure that. Next is NO ONE makes exhaust headers that will fit this swap. So you have to weld up your own, on one of the chevy v8 ranger swaps I did in the past I was able to make mid 80's chevy camaro 305 exhaust manifolds fit the v8 in ranger There is ford 302 and 351 swap kits for the rangers, exhaust and all but not for the chevy in ranger So you know you will have to make your own mounts You'll have to swap to a chevy transmission and keep in mind the trans tunnel is small so you will need to run a chevy th-350 or maybe a 700r4 with alittle clearance work but a big trans like th th400 wont fit w/o cutting out tunnel and making a custom one. Your rear end will be fine for 375 HP or so. Its the ford 7.5" which is alittle stronger than the chevy 7.5" used under the 82-02 camaros, firebirds, most all of the S10, 80's monte carlos, etc
Will a 1998 4L60E transmission fit in a 1996 Chevy truck?
Well, the difference is the bolt pattern on the tail housing, and the 'late' model 60E has a removable bell housing. To my knowledge, the rest of the trans is the same, and it should plug in and shift as normal; I am not positive on this, yet. You will need to swap the tail housings so that you can mount your transfer case. Read: http://www.novak-adapt.com/knowledge/4l6...

1998 Chevy K1500 4L60E to manual transmission swap?
I have a 1998 Chevy K1500 4x4 pickup with the 5.7L vortec v8, Z71 Silverado package, stock. It has the 4L60E automatic tranny, which reverse burnt up. I want to convert it to a manual transmission, what I want to know is for a donor truck, would I need to have another 1998, or would some other years work, & what all parts would I need from the donor other than the obvious (tranny, transfer case, clutch pedals, master cylinder, computer)
What type of fluid goes in my 1991 chevy k1500 manual transmission?
The early (up to 92 or 93) NV3500 uses GM synchromesh fluid. It's a thin oil The later model NV3500 and NV4500 calls for 75W90 gear oil The T5 and T56 transmissions uses auto trans fluid
What type of automatic transmission did the 1988 Chevy Silverado 1500 4x4 have?
Can't believe the crap people are throwing at you. Most of the answers are WRONG You will have a 700r4 if auto, maybe a th-400 if it's a 3/4 or 1 tone truck.. If manual trans it will be a NV3500 No ifs, ands or buts to it. That was the ONLY factory options. th-350's ended around '83 or 84.. 4L60E didnt start till '93. NV4500 wasnt used untill early 90's
Would a 454 actually tear up a 4L60E transmission?
The 4L60-E will hold the torque if you modified it a bit. 4L60Es don't need much work done but if its a pre 1996 trans especially from the Trans AM FireBird V8 5.7L it will have a factory shift kit installed that will lock up the torque converter 1:1 ratio giving you a very hard shifts. This is from the factory ! With a 454CID you will need a slightly bigger trans cooler mounted to the best possible air flow, & then use a better friction modifier if needed in the trans fluid. this will aid in reducing clutch wear and oil sheering that creates heat in the trans. The Down side is that 4L60E is not the better transmission a TH400 will be better. >> no electronic controlled solenoids. << The 4L80E is used in GM trucks heavy duty applications. This will be a better choice. Now if money is not a problem go to a GM- recycle Salvage yard and find an Allison Transmission. Put it behind that 454 and you will blow the engine before you'll hurt that tranny.
What will happen if I drive with a very low transmission fluid?
It depends on whether your car is an automatic or manual transmission.Automatic: Automatic transmission fluid has multiple jobs in an automatic transmission. First, it is used for cooling the transmission. So, with low transmission fluid, your transmission will not be cooled properly. Second, it used to make the torque converter operate, and provide pressure to ensure proper operation of the various clutches and components within the transmission. Third, it is used to lubricate your transmission. If your transmission fluid is very low, the transmission will almost certainly be slipping. So it will feel like the vehicle is in neutral, with the engine revving, but no power being applied to the wheels. The shifts will be rough, if they occur at all, as the clutches are not getting proper pressure to perform shifts smoothly. If the transmission fluid is very low for a long period of time, the clutches will burn up from not being able to lock up properly, and the torque converter will likely fail due to improper fluid pressure. If you drive your automatic transmission vehicle with low transmission fluid, at some point, you will be looking at a bare minimum $2,000+ repair bill unless you are able to do the work yourself, in which case it will still be $1,000 plus.Manual: In a manual transmission, low transmission fluid will cause the gears, synchronizers, shift forks, and other components to wear quickly. The bearings within the transmission will also not be lubricated properly, and the transmission will begin to overheat. It will likely be quite difficult to shift the transmission between gears, if not impossible. A manual transmission with low fluid may last longer than an automatic transmission with low fluid, but the prognosis is still the same. Transmission failure will occur, at some point, sooner or later.If your transmission fluid is low, it is much cheaper and safer to fill it, rather than face the expensive repair bill. Fill the transmission fluid and keep an eye on your vehicle, as it is likely that you have a leak, especially if your transmission fluid is frequently low.
What could be causing metal shavings in a transmission pan?
I can assume you've dropped the pan on your transmission ...really the only way to see the metal "dust" in the pan. Since you are talking about a pan, I'll also assume you're dealing with an automatic transmission.Some of this is normal wear. If this is the first time the pan has been dropped since the vehicle was new, there's a good chance all that fine metal powder that's collected on the pan magnet was from the break in period. And there'll be some small amount just as a function of normal wear. You have multiple clutches and gear sets regularly and constantly engaging and meshing. There will always be some level of fine metal powder stuck to the magnet.Now "shavings" are a different thing. If what you have is a powder-fine deposit of metal clinging to the pan magnet that's normal. If you have actual shavings ...chunks, bits and stuff that are larger than fine powder ...then you have some potential issues. How old is this tranny? Mileage? Do you use the vehicle for towing?Actual "shavings" are a sign of some internal wear above what would be considered normal. The actual cause, if these are actual shavings, could be from a lot of things ...none of them good.
