Are all 4L60E's interchangeable?

no mention of the engine in front of either trans
no mention if either is 2wd or 4wd
This thread went from being very helpful to just sad. brand new users (fukucachme has 3 posts) reviving dead threads just to be spoon fed info they can't search for themselves.
If the truck is v8 and the envoy is i6 then it will work, you will just need to swap bellhousings.
if one is 2wd and the other is 4wd then you'll need a total teardown to change the output shaft...in which case you should just fix the trans that isn't working

Did you even bother reading the thread above?
First post...old thread bumped...stupid question.
If your parents told you there was no such thing as a stupid question...they lied to you.

I will also say this for anyone reading who it may apply to, probably very few, but if you are swapping an LS motor into an LT car with a mount kit that advertises the ability to maintain the factory crossmember then this will apply to you. LT and LS transmissions use a very different trans mount location. I found this out the hard way when swapping my LT 4l60e out for an LS 4l60e to bolt up to my LS swap. The tubular X member for a stock car worked fine with the LT trans but required me to make some extensive modifications (practically building a new one) when using the LS trans.

Therefore, it seems likely that the transmissions are both 4L60E and interchangeable.I don't think that 2005 truck 4L60E had ISS (Input Speed Sensor).
However, a 2002 trans is now 18 years old and likely on it last legs. I suspect your 2005 wore out and you are looking for a replacement; an even older trans seems like a bad bet. A better bet might a 4L60E/4L65E from 2006-2008. These may have ISS, but your harness and computer will ignore that. (Of course a vehicle will an ISS 4L60E needs to be replaced with anothre ISS unit.)

2008 Chevrolet Colorado WT 4x4 4L60E interchangable to what
Lets confuse again... sorry my bad, but my tranny seems to be busted and trying to find a suitable candidate to replace it. So can I put any 4L60/65E tranny from which year? (96-2010?) without reprogramming the TCM? I do know that if I use a 4L65E, I need the 300mm torque converter? Am I correct?
It is a 2.9l 4x4 chevy colorado 2008 WT.
The 2WD version cannot be used or is the tail swappable with the existing transfercase adapter?
Any help appreciated. Yes, have read the posts...
Sincerely

First I'd like to say there's some really great info on this thread. The members are way more knowledgeable than anywhere else I've checked so far regarding the 4l60e. With that being said it only takes one bad apple(MaroonMonsterLS1) to screw everything up. People are coming to this forum for help and yes they've read the damn posts maroon but some of us aren't as knowledgeable as you and may need a direct answer or maybe a little more clarification! That's what forums are for right?! To help each other. You alone are giving this forum and site pretty bad vibes man and if it weren't for the other members that had constructive replys I'd of never came back to this site. If you don't want to help anyone than don't say a damn thing to anyone asking for help bc you aren't helping no one. Damn man it really pisses me off seeing ****** like you MaroonMonsterLS1 talk to people the way you do. Everyone else thank you for your contributions to all the new members looking for advice and /or help.

Thanks for the help everyone.
Here is the link where I posted a new thread: https://ls1tech.com/forums/automatic...l#post20197344
Lots of knowledge here. Appreciate it.
Hope this bank of knowledge will go on. If anyone knows in EUROPE suitable tranny candidates for my truck, I would be more than happy to hear from it. Have not found any so far.
Sincerely,

First off I am new to the forum and really don't know how to use it. I have a problem also a little different then these. I bought a core 4L60e out of a salvage yard that was in a 2004 Tahoe 2wd. I was going to rebuild it for my 2005 GMC Sierra 1500 2wd. The trans has been painted so I know it was replacement right off. Now the question is this the GMC trans is stamped 5CHD that means an 05/ engine size / and 4L60e the core says 9KXD meaning a 1999/ engine size/ 4L60e both have the bell housing with the hole on the top. The 1999 will not fit the 2005 GMC because the shaft is different size 300mm but in 1999 the trans was not suppose to have that top bell housing hole. Will the bell housings interchange is that what some one did then gave up on the Tahoe because it did not work and scraped it? A 1999 trans in a 2004 Tahoe. I was also told the tail shaft were different in the Tahoe and a standard cab pickup. Please help I have wasted a couple hundred dollars on this already.

This was certainly a funny read. I can say that I really appreciate you transmission guru's... Your explanations legit and clear... One of these days Ill just rip into one.
Couple questions. I believe that my band is worn out because it shifts 1st, 3rd, and 4th. I drive around town shifting from 1 to 3rd, it sucks but is getting me by before i decide what to do on my budget. Today on the freeway had to hit 4th or OD and it definetly would slip a little when applying pressure. I have a stall converter with a fresh ls1 swap in 2007 silverado classic 2wd with 420hp 400 Trq...
Definetly seems like thge band is worn or the servo pin anchor hole maybe hosed. Side note since building this beast Im addicted to ripping nuts cause im child like...
Im asking if anyone has ever had excess worn band and want to get a little extra life out of it by welding .100 on the end of the servo pin and if that is something that MAY get me a few thousand miles to save for tranny, then is tac welding it the best? or what kind of weld. Prolly not JB weld eh???

I'm that guy.
Ok so I've read this post and I admit I can tell there's a lot of good info here but I gotta ask... Cause I'm that guy and I'm not the smartest with this stuff... I have a 99 Tahoe 350 SS 2wd. The tranny went TU. I bought a tranny out of an '00 or '01 S10 2wd. The bell housing was different, so we took the torque converter and bell housing from my old 4L60E and used it with the new transmission. At first we forgot to put the linkage bracket back on but now that we did you can feel the shifter move and you can tell there tranny is going to the right gear but the dash goes from like D to R, 3, P, 2, N, 1 instead of P, R, N, D, 3, 2, 1 as normal and doesn't move... What's wrong or did we screw up switching the bell housing? Please and ty

Total a guess but I would say that you damaged the neutral safety switch when removing it. Also if you chanced the bell housing chech that front shaft there are two differant one that will not interchange with all torque converter they have the splines and O ring in different places. Go slow and watch for changes.

Your changing bell housings gives me pause.
Assuming you read much of this thread, then you know there about both 298mm and 300mm versions of the 4L60E in the '98-'02 years. It sounds like you swapped a 298 bell housing for a 300mm bell housing. The torque converters are not interchangeable.
I recall an old thread where the wrong converter did "fit", but obviously did not work.
Do you by chance of pics of the two bell housings?
I fear you have a bigger problem that shift linkage.

Since you tried to quote my post, I'm surprised by your question, because the answer is clearly No. Someone is trying to take your money for a lump of metal.
You need a 300mm '98 or later 4L60E/4L65E, preferably from 2001-2008. A '95 won't work for many reasons, not the least of which it was a 1-year only model which only works with '95 PCMs. (Unless you know how to mod things.) Also, it was very weak and your '05 engine will shred it. For someone to tell you it will work in your '05 indicates a high level of incompetence and/or likely dishonesty. (So its probably worn out anyway.)
Despite my critique, welcome to the forum!
