GMT400 4L60e to T56 swap write up *dialup warning*

[Aloicious]

yep, same yokes (in fact I'm using my 60e yoke with my T56 currently), and same driveshaft. thats is for a 2wd 60e.

so is it possible to change the tail shaft housing out and run a 6 speed in a 4wd truck??

i love this write up!

Not without alot of custom work. Some people out there have adapted a T56 to 4WD applications but it would involve making pretty much everything you need yourself.

another option would be to run a divorced transfercase, but that would still require a bit of fabrication to make a crossmember, differrent driveshafts, etc.

thats a posibility, but more stuff i would have to buy, and more stuff that i dont have the neccessities to fabricate

Great write up, I might have to do this someday.

Thanks guys,

yeah the T56 is great but in a 4wd truck I would probably look at other options unless you wanted to eliminate your 4wd all together. its obviously possible to do, but it would be MUCH more difficult to make the T56 work with 4wd.

yeah, I know the pre-threaded hole and stud are there on the 92-98 trucks (or at least they should be because all the pedal bracketry is the same), but I dont know about the pre-92 stuff. it sounds like somewhere between 90 and 92 it was added/changed.
