My Stage 2 4L60E that i have in my garage is Vacuum Modulated vice electronic modulated....i think...lol.

Anyway, my question is this: can i use a standard B&M Shifter on it, or do i still need to have my electronics hooked up to it?

Thanks

 

You still have to have the electronics hooked up, & yes, the B&M shifter is ok. Don't forget the vacuum line to the modulator. The vacuum modulator controls line pressure, if you leave it disconnected, you will have very firm shifts at light throttle openings, which is hard on the gear train.

 

Ok, actually i guess i need to explain myself...lol

B&M says that you have to have an aftermarket controller to hook their auto shifters up to a 4L60E? who offers these? and is there is "cheap" alternative, except putting in a 700r4?

 

4L60E with vacuum modulator = burnt up 4L60E!

this is the post....

:P i mean it only cost me 1200 bux shipped for both the trans and the converter that he was selling.....

i dunno...i may sell it and get a manual conversion setup... lmk what you think 12SCNDZ......i planning on putting this thing on a 355 LE3 that i am building this summer.

 

If Dave builds units that are holding up, then this transmission should workout ok. I have built many units over the years using the vacuum modulation, and they have held up very well. Frank and I are at odds on this, He has his way, and I have my way on what works. There are a few good builders that use the vacuum modulator, and a few good builders that don't. There is no concensus on this, just what works for each.

 

OK, so what do i need to make a B&M Hammer shifter work with my trans?
