Convert 4L80E to 4x2 Does anyone have a parts needed list of what it would take to convert a 4x4 4L80E transmission to a 4x2. I would think output shaft, different end housing, but what about other parts? Can this be done reasonably??

this thread was useful to me, i did it myself. you have to disassemble the entire trans to get to the output shaft tho. i rebuilt mine in the process.
& make sure you dont overlook the orfice plug. i almost burned the tailhousing bushing & had to install it in the truck, PITA lol.

Thank you!!!
you will also need a reluctor ring for the rear planetary and the rear VSS.
many people will say you can only buy the entire 2x4 planetary, but no, the 4x4 one works & you will just need to source the ring and tap it on when your in there replacing the output shaft. i think transmissionpartsusa.com was where i got mine. some site similar to that. altogether its not that bad if you take your time. got a whopping 0.6 miles on mine in my LQ4 swapped '82 GMC haha but its drove fine so far. good luck
