OK well which is it? Regardless of which one it had in it, will a 4L60E work hooked up to a 93 LT1 motor? See I have a 1995 that was a V6 and I have a 1993 Z28 donor car, I am doing the swap now but I need a tranny and I want to make sure I get the right one.

700R4 / 4L60 / 4L60E / 4L65E
The Hydramatic 700R4 was introduced in 1982 for use in Chevrolet/GMC vehicles.
In 1990 the 700R4 was renamed the 4L60.
1992 was the last year of wide spread usage of the 700R4 (4L60).
1993 Camaro, Corvette & Typhoon were equipped with the last production 700R4's, also the last design change of the 700R4 with an added checkball to the valve body.
Same thing.

Ya I have the whole complete wiring harness, computer, everything, I just unbolted the whole engine cradle and lifted the car off of it so everything is still 100% complete and ready to be bolted in to the 95 camaro.

OK man, You are confused...
Let me help you out. In the 93 Z28 the transmission is controlled by a cable to tell it when to shift. It's referred to as a 700r4. (or a 4l60) (No E at the end)
In 94 they went to a 4L60E, (E) standing for electronically controlled. That means that the computer (pcm) told the transmission to shift based off rpm and mph readings from the pcm.
Therefore, If your 93 Z28 had a automatic transmission in it, You will need a 93 or older transmission to bolt in there to make work with the 93 computer and wiring harness. Because the 93 computer and wiring harness did not have the plug to operate a 94-97 4L60E. Also 94 did not have pulse width modulation (only 95-97 did) So a 95-97 Transmission will not work in a 93 or 94, but a 94 Transmission will work in a 94,95,96, or 97 car.
So In SHORT, you will need a 700R4 (4l60) not a 4L60E.
* If there is a cable going into the passenger side of the transmission just behind the dipstick and the fittings for the lines, it's a 700R4.
IF you have a Grey connector, (with I think Green inside of it) sticking out of the transmission in the same passenger side area it's a 4L60E. And this will not work with your pcm and harness.
If you need any more help, pm me. I live in INDY!
I can help you out if you need it. Also I have a 700R4 in good condition if you need 1. And If you want to ever get 1 rebuilt I know a VERY GOOD Trans. Builder.
Good Luck
James

So either he will need to get a new pcm and harness (out of a 94+ car) to run the 4L60E or he will have to run a 700R4 to be a complete swap that will bolt in and work.
Unless he modifies the 93 harness using the v6 harness, and then he will only need a pcm from a 94+ car.
Although, The 4L60E that is in the V6 Car may NOT work b/c it's for a V6. Sometimes there are slight differences in the Transmissions.
