i have a 96 4.3 vortec with a 4l60 remoovable bellhouising can this tranny be built to manuel shift or will it shift out even when it is still in first gear when the rpm gets up there.
i have no clue should i ditch it and go to what i know 350 turbo or 700r4. this buggy should way around 3000lbs
any help

isn't the 4l60e the newer version of the 700R4?

i think this one is the newer version of the old 4l60e i think ?

This 4L60E is completely electronic. There are no mechanical inputs other than the shift linkage. It will shift out of first gear when manually selected, but its at around 35MPH in 2wd. which is right around redline. You should be alright as long as your not on the rev limiter in 4wd low. But that all depends on what gears your running. Hope this helps. :beer::beer:

4L60 is just the new name for the 700R-4. Then it went eletronic in 93 (IIRC) and became the 4L60E

There was just an article in Petersen's 4WOR about TCI making a full reverse manual valve body for these trannies that will keep it in first (or whatever gear) at all times. Contact TCI

Dont do it. Stay simple for the last time. If you use it get a tow rope.:flipoff2:
