96 4l60e in 95

i know 95 is a weird year but i read you can get a 96 trans to work if you swap the 3-2 down shift and some other thing. what all is required to get it to work? im having trouble finding a 95 transmission and would like to get my truck driving again

You can use a 96 transmission, change the 3/2 downshift control solenoid. The 95 is a 10 ohm, the 96 is a 24 ohm. The plug is very similar but not exact, you can either change the harness or I just trim the clip with a razor knife just a touch. Works well.

what clip are you referring too? guy wants 600 for the trans was rebuilt 40k miles ago apparently

sounds over-priced honestly, you could pull yours and have it rebuilt minus the 40k miles for that.

You're looking at spending $600-$850 depending on where you live to have it rebuilt. If you have the ability, pull it and have a professional do it. Peace of mind is worth more than someone's word.

yeah i was thinking that. all shops i called wouldnt give me a price and im not about to drive around with my trans in the truck of my car(camry) going shop to shop. i pulled the trans a week or so ago so just saving up and trying to decide what to do. some guy on craigs list rebuiulds them for 800 with 24 month warently but idk how legit it is.

The plastic clip on the wire harness that holds the clip on. Damn Don't spend that on a used transmission tho!!! hell Ill ship you a rebuilt one for that. That's way too much for a used unit.

Get a rebuild kit and do it your self, otherwise have a shop that other recommend rebuild it. Dont go to the cheapest place you can find, you dont want to have to pull the trans back out.
But I can say that I had never rebuilt a trans until my suburban blew its and I just got manauls and the monster rebuild kit and did it myself and its not that hard, just take your time. Theres also a dvd you can get. Honestly when I rebuild the one in my pu I'm going to just order the parts seperately from a couple places because its cheaper then the monster kit.

Ask rhino what all parts you should get.

I will also give you a list of the parts I used if you decide to rebuild.
