The '98 trans gave up the ghost.

The wife left this morning to visit family and made it 20ish miles from the house,she called saying that the suburban was not shifting into 3rd gear correctly and when it did it was slamming into 3rd gear.
I had her turn around and limp it home so we could swap her over to the '92 k1500. After I got her back on her way I took the suburban for a road test with the scanner hooked to it. No codes and I did not see anything out of the ordinary. Every thing points to the forward drum/clutch pack if I read Nicks write up correctly.Great,time for a tranny swap.

That sucks, but at least it didn't happen a long way from home!

Thats what she said. I have a '97 K1500 that I bought for parts with 59,000 on it ,hopefully it is a direct swap

Sorry, but 1993 was the swapover year from the 4L60 to the 4L60E. If your truck has a TV cable, it won't swap.

Sounds like the truck with the bad transmission is 1998, and donor truck is 1997. I can't say for sure but I'm betting high probability they will swap.

Doh! Speed reading fail. She got out of the '98 and into the '92. Got it now. I'd bet the time and effort on the swap.

4L60E Information Thread

Hi All, Since so many of us own at least one GMT400 or similar truck/SUV equipped with a 4L60E, I figured I'd start an all-encompassing transmission thread with videos, links and other information as it relates to the 4L60/65/70/75E transmissions. I'll get it going with videos covering tear...

Based on Nicks information in this thread, it sounds like it should swap. He's around here pretty often and an amazing resource. Check out his youtube channel as well.
