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??

 

Need some tranny guys to chime in here!!

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.

 

Thanks for the info..........it's funny, I did a search using the same as the title of this "4L80E 4x4 to 4x2 conversion" and got nothing!

Thank you!!!

 

haha yeah i dc what anyone on here says search really sucks ***. but just shoot me a PM if you've got any questions.

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
