Can I put 4L60E behind a 350?
The 4L60E will bolt straight up to your 350. :yes: You will need some way to control the tranny though. The OD is electronically controlled, hence the “E” at the end of the 4L60.
What controls a 4L60E transmission?
In the 4L60E the up-shifts are completely controlled by the PCM. The 4L60E can only do what it’s told. It is dependent on many things to determine shift timing.
What engines will bolt to a 4L60E?
Re: what engines bolt up to a 4l60e trans? Any vortec will bolt on 4.8, 5.3, 6.0, 8.1. You’ll need a tune if you get anything besides a 4.8.
Is a 4L60E a manual?
Full Manual Control for the 4L60E or 4L80E Automatic Overdrives. All late-model overdrive automatics are now microprocessor managed, which makes converting one of these transmissions more expensive, since it requires a separate, stand-alone electronic controller.
Are shift kits good for your transmission?
Why do they make the transmission shift harder? Shift kits simply eliminate many of the restrictive oil flow problems in the transmission’s valve body. The results are firmer shifts and reduced slippage and shift overlap.
Where do the shift solenoids in a 4L60E come from?
The short answer would be that the shift solenoids found within the 4L60E transmission receive instructions from the ECU/TCM to open and close. This is where the “E” in 4L60E comes from. It means electronic control. The shift solenoids are the means by which this control is physically achieved within the transmission.
How to swap carb and keep the 4L60E?
1.Find the plug that used to plug into the Distributor and lead to the PCM. 3. Take Wire and run it into the TACH position on your HEI Distributor. 4. Done! Here’s the TPS kit I used. So now that your 4L60E is working, lets carry onto Fuel.
What causes a 4L60E to fail to downshift?
Failure to Downshift – The 4L60E will often fail to downshift if one or more of the shift solenoids are stuck open or closed. This is due to the fact that the transmission fluid cannot be rerouted to the part of the transmission that would be making the next move.
What does the E in 4L60E stand for?
This is where the “E” in 4L60E comes from. It means electronic control. The shift solenoids are the means by which this control is physically achieved within the transmission. Shift solenoids are relatively basic in design and principal.
