Default Transmission help ASAP!!!

Okay... I have a 1995 Blazer... It needs a transmission.

I picked up today for real cheap a transmission and transfer case out of a 1997 blazer.

Problem 1) The transfer case doesn't look the same. The part that the drive shaft connects aren't the same.

THis is my 94's



And this is the 97's

I want to know... If I get the drive shaft off of the 97... will it fit into the 95?

Also... Will the 97's tranny fit into the 94??? Because if necessary I'll use my old transfer case, but i need to know if this tranny will fit without issues.

I am not certain, but I think you are in for some issues.

Here is some information on the transmission.

The 4L60-E is GM's successful continuation of the ever-improving 700R4 (aka "4L60" since 1990), introduced in 1982. The 4L60-E is the "E"lectronically shift controlled version of the 4L60. The Late 4L60-E was released in 1997 and fully phased into wide use through GM by 1998 in both RWD car platforms (including the C6 Corvette) and trucks in both 2wd and 4wd configurations.

The key distinction of the Later 4L60-E (1997-2006) from the Early 4L60-E (1992-1997) or 4L60 (1990-1992) or 700R4 (1982-1989) is the six-bolt "hex" rear output or tailhousing / adapter pattern. The previous versions featured a four-bolt square bolt pattern at the adapter or tailhousing. Additionally, the removeable bellhousing is also another distinguishing feature.

The paragraph above should give you some indication of what you have. I suspect you have the revised transmission out of the 97, and it will likely not mate with your transfer case. If that is the situation, you would need the T Case out of the vehicle the transmission came from.

I am going through this same problem with my 94 s10 blazer , It is the only year transmission that works for our vehicles . So I went to the parts yard and found one in a 94 olds bravada everything looks identicle , and it pretty much was exept the tail shaft where you would hook up the transfer case . So I'm going back to the scrap yard and get the tail shaft off a blazer and hopfully it will work then , the front drive shaft hits the cross member now .

May want to make sure that bellhousing on the transmission will even bolt up to your engine block first.
