4L60E year question Hello,
I have read through many posts and still a little confused... My kid has a 97 RS that has reverse blown.. I did see that 96-97 4L60E trannys are compatible but what about 98-02 would these also drop in without any of modification or parts to buy.
Thank you in advance

HOWEVER, '98 and later V6-compatible 4L60E are still 298mm and therefore might fit. One of the trans builders will need to answer that for sure.

4l60e In short, NO. Your '97 has a 298mm input shaft and converter. There was a big switch in '98 to a 300 input shaft and different depth bell housing. GM actually makes a conversion kit, but it will move your trans back, cost money, etc. (Its a bad kludge.) You really need to stick with 96-97; earlier ones will not be electrically compatible. (Not PWM)
