I have a 4l60e from a 94 minivan and I know a guy that needs one for his 98 Chevy Express 5.0 liter van. Does anyone know if this can work?

Thanks,
Pugsy

What engine does the minivan have?

I think it was a 4.3 v-6.

The 4.3V6 & 5.0-305V8 have the same bellhousing pattern so it will bolt up. I think it will work. Maybe Crosley will be on here later & I'm sure he can tell you for sure about the other things, wiring, converter, flexplate etc.

I'm thinking there might be differences in the electronic controls, ECM ?

the 1994 will not retro fit into a 1998 vehicle..

there are lock up strategy control differences.

The 1998 vehicle may be a 3 piece case trans (bell housing un-bolts)

Won't work.

98 and up have a detachable bell housing and the total length of the transmission is different in addition to some of the other comments above. The 94 will work in some 95-97 applications, but ONLY if you cobble together a cable bracket to mount the shift cable to. Most 95 and up to present applications require that cable mount. 94 and back have no provision for it.

Will a 4L60E from a 2003 chevy tahoe swap into a 98 GMC sierra ?

no.

the 2003 vehicle will have a LS series engine. Different converter design , the bell housing is different depth , the input shaft & pump stator design is different from the 1998 vehicle.

The 1998 Sierra may or may not have a detachable design bell housing . 1998 is considered the first year of the bolt on bell housing 4L60E trans.

So what can I use? I am looking for a core to rebuild and swap in I can not have the pickup down for more than a weekend.
1998 GMC 2WD 1/2 ton 5.0 (305) Vortec 4L60E
Thanks AJ

Am I correct in thinking any tranny from 96 to 2000 behind a v 8 will work?
i just checked it has a bolt on bell housing

nope.

You must use a 3 piece case trans that is not bolted to a LS series engine.

GM introduced the new LS series engine in trucks in 1999. I believe GMC trucks were first with 4.8 and the 5.3 engines.

The trans with the LS engine has a different design torque converter , input shaft , stator support shaft on the trans. They are not interchangeable.

Looks like I am off to the wrecking yard, Thank you for the info

You must use a detachable V8 Chevy bell type transmission that does NOT have a bolt on the top point of the transmission. Also, the input shaft MUST have a polished tip.
