What transmission came behind the 3800 v6 camaros/firebirds from 98-02?

 

4L60E I believe is the designation.

 

Is the bell housing bolt pattern the same for a ls1???

 

Searched but still cant find it, anyone know if the bell housing bolt pattern is the same??

 

Third link down on a search. https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthrea...6&highlight=v6

 

No the bell is different the input shaft is different and the pump stator is different

 

Isnt it amazing GM thought the ls1 would need the same shitty trans in the stupid v6..


Stupid GM needed to put a 4l80e in the ls1

 

4l60E can hold there own..... even a trans brake if the right person biulds it

 

The engineers might have felt they needed different.

The bean counters thought they liked their embroidered shirts and end of year bonuses better.

 

rossler makes a trans brake for the 4l60e

 

yup i just can't afford the upgrade mostly cause of shipping

 

That stupid V6 with a little charger can keep up with the big boys. Yes it is a stupid V6 but it goes alright hehehe

 

we are just tapping the power these v6's can take

hell they already ran a 8.991 with one (full race car)

 

Here in Aus we are following closely what you guys are doing. Our vehicles are alot heavier and different config but the engine is virtually the same. I read about some guy with a buick twin turbo V6 running in the low 7 second bracket in the states years ago. That is inspiring.
