RE: 700 r4 ?'s

RE: 700 r4 ?'s

Exactly correct. The 700R4, while sharing much of its design concepts with the 4L60E, is not the same as the 4L60E. Your best bet would be to find a shift kit for the 700R4.

You have the 4L60E.

Here's some info on GM transmissions:

Specifically the 700R4/4L60/4L60E:

Am I correct in reading that, the 700R4 was only put on the inline 4's?

RE: 700 r4 ?'s

I don't see where in there it says it was only behind I4's...

In the 2nd paragraph:

Quote:

However, the design was continually refined and upgraded, and in 1987, the 700 was used behind a 350 small block V8 (from IROC-Z Camaros to pickup trucks).

Around 1984, 700R4s designed for use behind Chevrolet small block V8s received a 30 spline input shaft which used a different torque converter than its 2.8 V6 and 2.2 L4 powerplants. Between 1984 - 1987, internal components, from the ring gear to the oil pump housing, were updated, ending with the auxiliary valve body (for 700s manufactured after October 1986).
