a 4l65e is beefed version of the 4l60..65 has heavy duty input/output shafts, 5 pinion planets, and heavy duty shell..if you know how to build trannys you can buy the parts and put them in a 60....
4l60/65e is electronic it has no vaccum modulator

FYI...It is a very poor idea to purchase trannies based on somebody's horsepower claim. Horsepower has very little to do with auto trannies and how they hold up. Get a input torque rating on the tranny before you make decisions, that is the number that actually means something.

GM should start thinking about putting a five speed auto in the C6. It would make a hell of a difference.

200r-4..........weak compared to the 700r-4, 700 is pretty much a 4l60.
4l60 is pretty much a th350 w/ overdrive, same gear ratios
4l80 is pretty much a th400 w/ overdrive, same gear ratios
4l60 is pretty much a th350 w/ overdrive, same gear ratios

1st = 2.52:1
2nd = 1.52:1
3rd = 1:1
700-R4/4L60/4L65(E)...
1st = 3.06:1
2nd = 1.62:1
3rd = 1:1
4th = .70:1
