Is A 4L60e 4WD The Same As A 2WD?
 

I have a quick question for you transmission guys. I know this sounds stupid, but is a 4L60e 2WD transmission the same as a 4WD? I know that all of the application guides make the distinction between the two, but it looks to me like if you take the tailshaft off of a 2WD trans. you are left with the same 5 bolt mounting pattern as the transfer case. I would like to know because I will have to replace the tranny soon in my `94 4WD S-10 Blazer and may run across a good 2WD unit. If it is otherwise the same, I could just pull the tailshaft housing off and put my transfer case on. Thanks, Jeff.

same BUT you do have to tear em both down to swap main shafts. might as well buy a rebuild kit. also,only 93 and 94 works. 95 they added stuff.

Thanks Chris, That`s what I was afraid of. It sounded too easy. It looks to me like GM could have saved some money and made them interchangable. I don`t think I will be rebuilding mine myself, I never tore down an automatic before. I have only done the external stuff. I have heard that you have to do a couple of them before you get it right. I think I will go the cheap route and try to get a good used one. You say a `95 will not work? I thought they were the same to `96. Thanks, Jeff.
