How much does a 4L60E weigh? I was wondering how much a 4L60E weigh? Resaon I ask is Im going to probably pick a built one up in my buddies truck from FLP and then take it a few miles over to Speed Inc to have them install it along with my new engine. Could me and one other person move it. I then have to be able to take my old one back to FLP for the core charge. |
One person can do it (I did) but two will make it much easier. :D John |
if the converter is attached it would be a 2 person job, without one person could handle lifting it! |
One person can do it.. but it's a handfull. Best to have one peron on each end just for safety's sake. |
I can lift the 4L60E myself without much trouble when it's not under the car. When removing and installing, two guys makes it a lot easier |
Converter is around 50lbs (stock converter). Trans itself is around 120 I believe. Two is nice buy I never had a problem moving mine and I'm not a big guy by any stretch. Just pull the converter off first, put it upside-down over a bucket and let it drain as much as possible. Moving a trans with the converter in it isn't a good idea anyway unless you're using a converter strap. |
I can tell ya how much it weighs!!! TO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOD those damn things are HEAVY! Josh S. |
it weights alought Today I had a great Idea to bench press a 4L60e filled with liquid and torque converter on. I asked my 7 year old son, if he was scared that it was going to fall on my. Sense I was making so much noise lol. He looked at me crazy, and said I wasent scared your muscles where scared they where shaking. Point being I did it! but that sh!? Is Fu <%€n heavy |

2 Attachment(s) To be precise, I measured a dry 4L65E at 133lbs, which might be 1lb more than a 4L60E: Attachment 605488 Of course a converter will add 30-50lbs to that, plus about 10lbs for the ATF. The Harbor Freight $145 transmission jack is decent. (Their $89 trans jack is NOT! Skip that.). http://www.harborfreight.com/800-lb-...ack-60234.html Here is mine: Attachment 605489 $145 is a lot less than a visit to the ER and/or (seriously) injuring yourself or your buddy. |
Agree. I've removed my trans a couple of times using the Harbor Freight jack. It makes it pretty damn easy. |
I do agree is much easier as a two-person job but also have to say I just did lift one in there by myself torque converter and all definitely was a bear butt got it done! 😬 |
@Nick King did you really just create a forum account, login, then use your first post to comment on an irrelevant thread from 2004? smh |
Is it just me, or do we get a lot more of these necroposts on this board than the others? |
