Re: need help with 4l60e

the old trans will have an extra bolt hole in the top that you wont use. other than that id think they would be a direct swap out. torque converters may be a smidge different. i couldnt say as far as anything else

In theory they should.. Are they both from a small block V8?

Since VCM's are different from year to year, the one thing that might be different is the connection. Can you look at them before getting the replacement to see if it matches your connector style?

There was a change in I think in 98 that the pressure control solenoid went to pulse width modulated. Puting and older one in from a newer or newer to older will burn up the pcs. That and i think bellhousings were a tad different, as the ls series motor had a slightly different bolt pattern.
