No problem, didn't want you getting the wrong parts.
It will bolt up to an LS1 but I'm 99% sure the wiring is different. He'll need a 98-02 4L60E

You have a '93 which had the one year only 4L60/700R4. It is non electronic. You have to have your specific trans rebuilt or find another '93 trans. Welcome to owning a '93 LT1.
Good catch, I completely missed his being a 93.

If it's leaking you might not be able to build up adequate line pressure to shift at WOT

What kind of valve springs, rockers, length pushrods are you using? Did you degree the cam? Who tuned it?

With a GOOD QUALITY converter you wont notice it that bad in a Daily driver. Don't get some cheap off the shelf b7m , etc.. Spend the $$$ once on a quality piece.

As everyone else said you should deff. see better times with a good trany , converter and good tire.

Previous over of my '97 ran 13.1 with the following mods
LT1 / T56 | Longtubes | O/R Y pipe | Magnaflow cat back | K&N CAI | CSR EWP | Dynoed 292rwhp /321 rwtq Best et. 13.1@107 w/ 2.07 Sixty ft.

Yank makes nice stuff. PTC , Precision , etc....
Call em all talk to tech and see who offers what.

Your cars not a dog. Its limping down the track to a 13.xx with a bad tranny. Get that fixed before the thing starts to die more and leave ya trannyless.

or put a 6spd in it !!!

If it's got the lt4 hot cam spring upgrade the springs in it, that would be a helpful start. comp cams behive 918's are good.

No simple spring swap is all it is. Stiffer spring, less valve float, and room for a bigger cam down the road. Max lift on the 918's is .625 if I recall right from earlier.
