Default How much does a factory 4L80E and factory 4L60E weigh?
I read a few posts stating how much heavier a 4L80E weighs compared to a 4L60E, but have not seen one post actually stating their weights. Can somebody please give me their weights in lbs? Thanks in advance for the info.

When FLT shipped my new transmission to me, the total package was 114lbs. That includes the case it ships in and I don't know how heavy those are (the big black plastic box things).

Hope that helps some.
