Default 4x4 4l80-E

So I Have acquired a 4x4 4l80-E for my Z28. What modifications/changes must I do to convert this transmission to a regular Rear wheel drive car? I’m sure ill have to change the tail shaft, but thats all I can think of. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks

-Rob

That should be it other than the normal stuff you have to do to make the swap anyway

Thanks For the Quick reply. i was afraid that it was going to need more than that to get it converted to 2WD. Now to find a Tail housing. Is the tail shaft the same too?

No you will have to change the tail shaft and housing meaning the trans will have to be completely disassembled I thought you knew that from your OP
