As tilte states i would like to know the diffrence between them. Right now my vehicle is getting a 4l80e swap so what does the "e" stand for?

Well on the 4l60e, the e means electronic controlled. I think a few other things were changed but not positive. I honestly didn't know there was a 4l80 that wasn't electronic controlled.

Electronic. Don't quote me on this, but I believe all GM 4L80's are electronic.

There were some 90s vehicles that were not electronic.
im hunting down info to use one in my car. Not lookin to use an e transmission.
Hard part is the builders ive contacted kerp trying to sell me the electronic ones.
Im pretty sure there profit margins are higher with the 80es.but just not what im looking for.

ALL 4L80s were electronic.

your prob getting the 4L60/4L60E mixed up-around 93 they switched them to elect, the 4L60 was the old 700R
like Jake said, all 80's were elect

Exactly, they are all electronic, but I've heard the TH400 referred to as a 4L80 sans 'e' several times before.

The TH400 was referred to as the 3L80. The "4" in 4L80E means it has four forward gears. The "L" means it's longitudinally mounted (rear wheel drive), the "80" is GM's own numerical representation of a torque rating and the "E" means it's electronically controlled.

Yes I know, that was a typo on my part. It wouldn't have been so bad had I not had a copy of the 3L80E ATSG with notes scribbled in it sitting right here on my desk for the last how ever many weeks
