700r4 vs. 4l60e - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Pretty much the same transmissions from what (little) I know! I believe they are geared the same as well. I think GM just renamed the 700r4 to the 4l60 and 4l60E which has to be controlled electronically. I don't think you would see any difference and would be better off with the 4l60E because it's controlled by the 5.3 ECU.

Nailed it! They are they use the same internals. The only difference is in the valve body. One is hyrdaulic (700r4) and one is electronically (4l60e) controlled.
