What is the difference between a 4L60E and a 4 L 65 E?

The 4L60E (and similar 4L65E) is a series of automatic transmissions from General Motors. Designed for longitudinal engine configurations, the series includes 4 forward gears and 1 reverse gear. The 4L65E shares the same exterior parts but have stronger internals such as 5 pinion planets compared to 4 in the 4L60E.

What transmission is compatible with 4L60E?

The front face 4L60-E is natively compatible with either the Chevrolet 90 degree “Small Block” & “Big Block” patterned engines (image, left), including the V6, V8 & I6.

Can a 4L60E be used without a computer?

Externally, all it needs is a 12-volt source and an engine-vacuum reference. However, if your trans is, in fact, a 4L60E, running it off a computer is mandatory. Never mind TCC lockup; without a computer, the trans won’t shift at all.

How much power can a 4L60E handle?

Their Stage 2 Pro Race transmission can handle gobs of power while their Invincible Black Edition 4L60E trans can support over 1,000 ponies.

Can a 4L60E handle 450 horsepower?

A well built 4l60e can handle some serious power. We have cars running 500-600 and 700 rwhp as the power increases of course the odds of failure do increase but we have had very good results.

How many solenoids are on the 4L60E transmission?

The 4L60E family of transmissions use 2 shift solenoids, initially called Shift Solenoid A & Shift Solenoid B, later changed to comply with OBD II (On Board Diagnostics revision 2) regulations to 1-2 Shift Solenoid & 2-3 Shift solenoid.

Is a 4L60E interchangeable with a 4L80E?

FYI – 4L60E & 4L80E transmissions are NOT directly interchangeable. The wiring pinout of the trans plug is different, and 2 VSS’s are used versus 1 on the 4L60E. Besides the wiring difference, the ECM also requires a segment swap as that portion of the transmission control is completely different.

How many quarts of fluid to fill 4L60E at service?

The 4L60e’s fluid volume is 12 quarts (dry) of transmission fluid. This volume is based on a stock, with a 12 “torque converter,” shallow “transmission pan.” The ability of additional fluid will range from an extra quart or more with a deep pan.

Are all 4L60E’s the same?

All 4L60E transmissions are not the same . Here are some of the main differences. What parts of the 4L60E transmission are the same? The length of the total transmission stayed the same for its entire production cycle. This means that a 4L60E made in 1993 would theoretically bolt behind one that was made in 2003.
