Default 2002 5.3 Transmission Compatibility

I have been on a search for a 4L60e to put behind my 5.3 in my Cutlass & 3 places I stopped by today told me the transmission has to be a 2002 also for it to work. I need to know if thats true because I found a 2wd trans in a 07 Silverado but I need to know if that one will work before I buy it. Anyone reading this have a 02 engine with a different year trans thats working fine, please let me know.

Here are a few pics from the 07 trans

You should be good with any 2000-2007 4L60E that was behind a 4.8,5.3 or 6.0,you may want to post this over in the auto trans section here and confirm with the experts.

I hang out in the automatic section a lot and even rebuilt my own 4l60e. It was with the help of mrvedit and clinebarger. I will all but guarantee if not guarantee his post is correct in your other thread.

I absolutely would not take advice or do work with the shops telling you that you need a specifically a 02 4l60e.
