When did the GM 4L80 es come out?
Designed for longitudinal engine configurations, the series included 4 forward gears. It was an evolution of the Turbo-Hydramatic 400, first produced in October 1963. 4L80-Es were optioned only in Chevrolet/GMC pickups, vans, and commercial vehicles, and the Hummer H1.
Is the 4L80 transmission compatible with the CJ5?
The 4L80 is doubtless a very successful OEM transmission, and a terrific conversion transmission in the right Jeeps and situations. However, with its 26-1/4″ length, it is a longer transmission and is not compatible with short-wheelbase Jeeps such as the CJ5 in any scenario, or CJ7’s if they have a lot of suspension lift.
