Default Torque converter cover 4L60 E , can’t find a fit

Have 35 Coupe with 5.3 LS and 4L60e transmission. I can’t seem to find a dust cover that fits, maybe a van tranny? Has two bid bolt holes on each side….

EASY unless it had the 168 tooth flex plate or equivalent in LS
But the 4 bolt cover only came with the smaller flexplate and can be had from a camaro , firebird, impala ss. 4.3 s10 and s15 trucks . Even the 700r4 with 4.3 and f- Bodies used it.
However if you have large flex plate you will have to modify a cover from a 6 bolt 4x4 700 or 4l60e v8 from 84 to 97

Thank you Sir, it’s bolted on a 5.3l truck motor, not sure how many teeth … I bought a aluminum polished but it’s really Jerry rigged to install and just ain’t right…

Default 4L60e wiring

Frank, thanks for the help. I’m running LS 5.3 and I would like to use a Lokar electronic sport shifter, is it hard to wire into factory harness ? I have early Ecm with red and blue connectors.

Im afraid electronic shifters are not my speciality or how they affect the PCM .

By reading the instructions from LOKAR it doesnt look difficult. Actually, you dont even have to wire up sport mode. Just need to wire neutral safety and make sure the cable is adjusted correctly.

Was wanting to use the bump stick part of it, it’s the tying into trans harness and using the micro switches to shift in manual mode that there are no instructions for. I don’t want to screw anything up LoL

I got this from the 1st part of the Lokar Electronic Sport Shifter instructions

The Lokar Electronic Sport Mode Shifter is designed and intended to be used with an aftermarket Transmission Control Unit (TCU). You will need to follow the instructions for your particular TCU in order to connect the shifter wiring. The Lokar Electronic Sport Mode Shifter may also be used with a factory Powertrain Control Module (PCM), but there are too many different combinations and too many variables for these instructions to cover those possibilities. If you are going to use the Lokar Electronic Sport Mode Shifter with a factory PCM, you will likely need aftermarket tuning software to create a custom program for the PCM, and you will need to create a custom wiring harness to connect the Shifter to your PCM.

Yes Sir, I saw that, a friend told me it was no problem wiring to GM ECM, but he’s backing up now … looking at US Shift Quick 4 now.. Thanks for the help

I'm not sure if the GM P01 0411 PCM has the capability to be shifted this way. Try posting in the conversions and swaps section of this forum.
