The difference in wiring can be a real headache if you’re not aware of it! Let’s make sure to cover that well in the tutorial.
True! It’s impressive how much the 4L60E has evolved. Wiring variants impact performance, too!
I can’t believe how many different external features there are! It’s like a game of hide and seek with transmissions.
Haha, totally! If only identifying transmissions came with a cheat sheet! Looking forward to this guide.
I’ve always been a bit puzzled by the different models. Anyone know if there’s a quick reference for identifying which model is in my vehicle?

That’s exactly what this tutorial is for! We want to create a one-stop-shop for identification to help everyone out.
I hope the tutorial includes some tips for avoiding common mistakes when identifying these transmissions. Fingers crossed!
Does anyone have an identification chart for the 4L60E? I’m trying to figure out what model I have, and there seem to be so many variations!
You can check the model number on the transmission itself. Usually, it’s located on the driver’s side towards the back. Just a little rub of paint or grime can hide it, so look closely!
I’ve had some slipping issues lately. Is that a common problem with the 4L60E? What can I do to fix it?

Absolutely, slipping is a common issue! Sometimes, it just needs a fluid change, but it could be a sign of a deeper problem. How many miles are on your transmission?
I had overheating issues with mine! A cooler upgrade did the trick for me. Anyone else tried that?

Great tip! I’ve read that proper maintenance can prevent a lot of overheating issues—like making sure the radiator is working optimally.
Harsh shifting can be a headache! I found that adjusting the TV cable can help smooth things out.
Totally agree! It’s such an easy fix and can make a huge difference in how the transmission shifts.
When should we know it’s time to seek professional help? Sometimes I feel out of my depth.
If you are getting error codes or hearing strange noises, that’s a good time to go. Better to be safe than sorry!
I can relate! I waited too long once and ended up with a full rebuild. Ouch!
