how many plugs/wires go to the 4L60 tranny? on my car there are 2, but i was planning on swapping in a 700R4 with the 383 because i heard they are the same. but i heard earlier in school today that the 700r4 and 4L60 are the same and only have a throttle cable, no electrical harness at all. so im confused.

are the 700R4 and the 4L60 EXACTLY the same tranny?

do they have any wires/ plugs going to them like mine?

the reason i ask the second question is because my car was built in mid 93 so i wasnt sure if i might have gotten a 4L60e tranny since i heard they only had cables and no wires. man im all messed up about trannies.

thanks so much for any help.

 

Case Conectors are different, the 93 uses a 5 pin, oposed to the 4 pin.

My 93 TransAm has a Th-700R4, urs don't? The 4l60 is pretty much one, just not electronic therefore voiding the 4L60e mine has a 5-pin ROUND connector, where as some of the aftermarket TH-700R4's have a 4 pin SQUARE connector if you need more info PM me, plus my NEW B&M TH-700R4 Street/Strip, 3k stall, 12 qts of B&M Trick Shift fluid, 3 qt extra DEEP CHROME pan fitted for an AutoMeter Tranny Temp Guage all with 0 miles is for sale....

 

thank you all so much for the info, n2ceptor, thanks for that link especially.

i just have one more question. i have the 5 pin connector and i can convert it to a 4 pin, but does a 700R4 have the other elctrical connector that plugs in to the tail of the tranny?

thank you.

 

I am not sure if you can convert to the 4-pin for sure or not, however I bought the B&M version directly from them to find out it had the 4-pin, so we just did an internal swap using my wiring, and housing....let me run out and look at the tail shaft...

 

Yes there is what looks to be a 2 pin connector in the tailhousing...If you want you could IM me on AIM @ MxRacer476 or email me at XxXTransAm2@aol.com and I'll take actual pics for you if needed....
