If I remember correctly...
The code "3thd" means
The of production is 2003 for the '3' (could be 1993 but I don't think they made 4l60e's in '93)
"th" refers to the engine/vehicle type
'd' means it's a 4l60e transmission

Thank you for your response. The 3 threw me because I don't think they made a 4 l60e in 93 must be an 03. The th is what vehicle it came in. Trying to figure out what it came out of.
Thanks for any help.
Thanks for any help.

All trucks in '93 had the 4L60E. Only the F-bodies had the torque arm mount on the tail shaft housing (would have been a 700R4 in '93). 2WD trucks and vans did not have them. The bellhousing was not removable in '93.

It has the 298mm input shaft (LT style, not the 300mm LS style).
As long as it is not a '95, it should work just fine for you as a '97 is also 298mm input shaft, and '96 through '05 are electrically compatible.
Thank you mrvedit. I have a 99 ls1 with a yank 3200 stall in a 700r4. According to the folks at yank a 97 v8 4l60e will work with my lt type converter and will work with the ls motor and its electronics. just wanted to make sure before I have it rebuilt. I was ready to throw it on Craigslist but I hope I can use this trans. Thanks again.

Yes, a '97 4L60E will work with your 700R4 converter and bolt to your LS1 engine the same way your 700R4 does - presumably with a spacer and compatible flexplate.
We just need to be sure it is not a '95, as some (all?) '95 are PWM but have a different 3-2 downshift solenoid than '96 through '08 transmissions. Drop the pan and remove the 3-2 downshift solenoid which is in front and on the driver's side.
3-2 Downshift Solenoid
------------------------
1993-1995 - White connector, metal stem, resistance of 10-15 ohms.
1996-1997 - White connector, plastic stem, resistance of 20-31 ohms.
1997-2008 - Gray connector, plastic stem, resistance of 20-31 ohms.
(Both White and Gray connector color used in 1997)
2009+ The 3-2 downshift solenoid was eliminated and the trans connector changed
Another way is to also remove the TCC/PWM solenoid which is in the front passenger side. If the two solenoids are identical you have a '95 trans. If they are different you probably have a '96+.

If that pump body is original, It is a '96 & up, It has the Bellhousing locating ribs on it, never seen a '95 with that Pump Body & very few '96's (Stamped '96).
The 3 in your code makes no sense....It is definitely not a 2003, It could be a '93 with the wrong pump? Like stated, Pull the pan & see if it even has a TCC PWM solenoid.

Yeah, I suspect this trans is a mix of parts from different years, which isn't bad, just confusing.
And good point - you should make sure it really is PWM and has the PWM TCC solenoid. Pics will help an pro builder like Clinebarger determine exactly what you have.
