CRAZY CRAZY 4L60E question for you.......... I have a new, 3,000 mile 2004 Trailblazer 4 wheel drive with 4.2 6cyl w/4L60E.
I also have a 1998 Z28 49,000 w/4L60E, tired, w/ 100's of 1/4 mile passes, still shifts/runs fine, 12.89@108mph last week.
Can I swap the 4L60Es ??
Is the 2004 4.2 6cyl 4L60E as strong/stronger/better than the 1998 Z28 4L60E ??
Will I just have to swap bellhousing/tailshaft/??
Or are the cases just totally different & not doable??
My thinking is that the tired 98 4L60E would last a lot longer behind the Trailblazer.
Hmm, I just found out that the Trailblazer TC will work in the 1998 , at 2,200-2,400 stall, so the input shafts are the same too..
Thanks,
Dave

So I don't see the point of tearing both transmissions down to the tailshaft.
You might as well just tear one down and rebuild it.
