Hey guys, new member here! Thanks for having me. My grandfather always drove 88-98 Chevy's and gmc's and I always wanted one so a few weeks ago I pulled the trigger on a 93 Sierra. It has a 4L60E and I was told OD slips and I know reverse slips pretty bad also. I'm left with a few options,
A. Rebuild it. I've done a few gm automatics already but mostly older th350 and 400's.
B. Replace it, rather expensive with my budget but possibly worth while to avoid a lengthy parts list trying to revive and reinforce it.
C. I found a '90 Sierra, same wheel base, same 5.7 engine, with a five speed standard. Guy wants $500. I guess it needs a clutch but!! It's the same wheel base and cab, that would be a complete swap kit so to speak. It does have 221k on it and I'm not sure what trans it actually is.
Any help or advice or tips or direction would be awesome! I drive a thirteen and ten speed all day so a manual is more my speed but I'd be happy with the slushbox too. Unfortunately I'm more accustomed to Ford diesels than anything so I'm just not sure what I'm dealing with as far as the said five speed or the 4L60E.
