Ok i was going to order my TC and the guy asked me if i had the bolt on bell housing or if the bell housing and tranny were one piece. He said they made both for those years. can someone shed some light on this please. on what the most common is i guess i dunno but i wanna order my TC today hopefully.

im guessing that no one really knows for sure. i thought this was a weird question for him to ask me bc ive never seen this question brought up before.

In reality, it sounds like a stupid question by him if you are ordering a Torque Converter, Or I am stupid, Not sure..LOL..Sounds like you are his 1st 4L60E Customer..Dump his azz & get a Yank or Vigilante..

I'd also go with another company. They don't make LS1 4L60E's without bolt on bellhousings.
I've seen some 4L60E's as old as '95 with bolt on type. Thats going by the casting clock date on the case.

Man I have to go with the 2 above comments. I would think about going with a different tc company as well. There are a few different types of bolt on bells but they are either 298 or 300mm setup's. For the 98 and up you will require the 300mm setup. Vince

Not for LS1's. 4L60E's were one piece from '94 to ??

Actually I believe the 1 piece case for fbodies were used from 93-97. Vince

so what should i tell him? is it the bolt on. or not?

FLT

iTrader: (1)

3 piece case, LS1 bell, 300mm input and stator. If you tell them that and they can't figure it out run like hell.Vince

Heres a pic of a 2002 with a removable bellhousing.

Do you think theres a possibility someone put an old trans in your car?

This first picture is a 1 piece fbody core. 93-97 style.



This next picture is a 3 piece case without the adapter housing bolted on it. It is a 4x4 for a truck not an fbody but the bell is the same style.


The pic in my sig is an actual ls1 fbody on our dyno. I hope this will help you figure out what you got. Vince

bjamick

iTrader: (31)

FLT

iTrader: (1)

That is a ls1 300mm style.Vince
