: : : considering 4L60E for my 71 Z-28. Is Chevy rebuilt unit with short tailshaft a direct bolt in? How about provisions for using orig mech speedo? Any other issues I should consider in decision? Thanks for any advice.
: : IF this is a 4L60E you have a big problem .This trans uses a computer to make it work. A 4L60 would be a better choice. If your trans has a place for a kick down cable it is not a 4L60E.Yes you can buy computer and wiring to make the "e" trans work.GM is working on a kit that will be available the first of the year.
: Partsmaster. Sorry, my mistake. considering GM remanufactured 4L60 (it's listed on your products page). Is it direct bolt? can I use mech speedo? Thanks.
speedo is still mechanical or cable driven is not a problem. Tire hight and gear ratio is all we need to figure out your combo.This trans works great.
