T56 or 4L60?Originally posted by botlfed
The T56 can be done with the car on jackstands. You may need a helper, because its about 120# wet. I'd rate it as relatively easy. There are a couple bolts that are hard to reach, but that's the hardest part. Can't help you if its a 4L60..... never did one.Fred

bout the same as a t-56 just gotta disconnect a few more parts, get it as high as u can(rent some 6 ton jack stands and a high lift jack if u can, make it easier to work under). get underneath and see whats holding it in (bell bolts, tranny x-member, cooler lines, linkage, drivesahft needs to be pulled2009 Honda Civic EX- the daily beater

I had one hell of a time with the bell housing bolts on mine. Got the top two out through the top, and the middle two with some loooooooooong extensions and a couple u-joints. Then lining up the dipstick tube when I bolted it back in was another pain. Gets easier each time though, I'm on my 4th tranny in 2 1/2 years.95 Z28 - K&N FIPK, Flowmaster cat-back, Edelbrock STB, UMI Perf SFC, Performabuilt Pro Street 4L60E, 2800 Stall, Hayden tranny cooler, CRT Intake elbow, LS1 DS, 2k C5 replicas, Toyo Proxes T1S 255/40/17(f) 285/40/18(r), slotted rotors w/ Axxis MM pads, 15% front/5% rear tint, 97+ Console upgrade, all oils now synthetic

The hardest problem I had was getting the transmission out from under the car. I had the car as high as the jack stands would go but the bell housing was still too tall. My tips is get a 3 foot long socket wrench extension to help you get the bell housing bolts off.2002 Electron Blue Vette, 1SC, FE3/Z51, G92 3.15 gears, 308.9 RWHP 321.7 RWTQ (before any mods), SLP headers, Z06 exhaust, MSD Ignition Wires, AC Delco Iridium Spark Plugs, 160 t-stat, lots of ECM tuning

Not if your car is a 93. 93 used the 4L60 non-electronic tranny, basically a 700R4.Originally posted by botlfedFred

yeah, i got a 93 trans am LT1 and mine is the 700R4. a man told me a good rule of thumb to tell if it is a 4L60E or 700R4 is if the wireing harness was on the drivers side of the tranny, or he said the same side as the shift linkage, witch is the drivers side, but if it was then it was a 700R4 for sure.Comment

No it's still a 4l60 it's just not an Electronic controled one.
Hence the lacking of an E at the end.1990 Eagle talon TSI- daily driver
