Re: tranny swap ?

The 4L60 is no stronger then a 3500. How exactly do you keep breaking them?

Re: tranny swap ?

Someone said at one time that the spline on a NV 3500 are the same as the 700r4/ Not sure of what year they changed ( 4L60,& 700r4 )this because they use to be course splines on the Manuel and fine on the automatics ( Output Shaft )??/ But the biggest problem seams to live in the computer ( Gauges, ECM , ECT. ) My best guess is to check with a transmission specialist as to year and distinctions between swaps and my guess is your going to have to hunt for one of those also ( transmission specialist ) ??/ For one that knows what he's talking about ??/ I was looking in to the possibilities of going with the NV 4500 beefier ??/ Never got to find a source on the gear ratios as to 1st gear being synced or if it was Low low like some of the earlier versions ??/
