Replacing the stock B30 torque converter in a 4L60e
Would there be a problem replacing the stock B30 torque converter (30 spline and 12 inch diameter) with a B-85 (30 spline and 12.5 inch diameter) torque converter in a 4L60e ?

i could not find the stall speed for either the B30 or the B85.
From what i could remember the B30 had a stall speed of around 2000prms. I was told the B85 would swap straight over (click image). but I am not sure now. Its larger, i don't know if that is a problem in terms of torque, and bolt on hole location I don't know the clutch type, perhaps it will not match the pump. My original torque converter had the following: on a sticker - TMBX 2420 6642 then printed - 035 - 00-16:07-N then stamped on the side - 0947 -B If anyone here understands the world of torque converters, i would appreciate some assistance here. Thanks in advance Last edited by old yukon; 02-15-2011 at 09:17 PM.

If you don't know the difference in stalls I wouldn't swap it, I have a convertor from a late model 4.3 s10 that is suppose to be about the highest stock stall, Only reason I would change it out is I know where it came from and what the stall is.

I found:
B-29= 1211-2000rpm stall. B-30= 1211rpm stall 6-Lug Diesel. B-85LP & LW= 1400rpm stall, same as TMBX code. B-85= 1400-1600rpm stall, 2 clutch material types. Page 7 >> http://www.transparts.ru/pdf/tc_gm_03_web.pdf

Thanks SSedan64 for that.
Just correcting an error of mine. it is a B29 not a B30 So from what you found: B-29= 1211-2000rpm stall speed. and B-85LP & LW= 1400rpm stall speed B-85= 1400-1600rpm stall speed Is their a problem with the slight variation in stall speeds or not?

Shouldn't be any problem, it's only 200rpm difference between the 2.

The B 85 will not go on the same 4l60e set up i have, it needs a longer shaft. so i have to say with the B 29.
And I was told the bell housing is also different in the trannies with the B 85.

I think the B-85 fits the LS type Engine and that Trans also has the bolt on Bellhousing.
