Auto Parts: Fitting a 2wd 4l60e in my 4x4, output shaft, pep boys


Question
I recently found a 2wd 4l60e tranny for only 150 bucks, and i'd like to keep it. The only problem is that i need a 4x4 edition. I know the output shaft is too long. Is there anyway i can swap the two out?

Worse comes to worse, i can just sell it and buy a 4x4 edition.

Answer
Hi Samantha,

to fit that 2WD edition into your 4x4, cut the output shaft to the same length as the old trans. Not too sure on the 4L60's but it worked for their earlier counterparts, the THM-350's.

Looking for a reputable service technician? My advice on finding a good technician is: Steer clear of the dealership and 'chain' stores like Firestone, Sears, Pep Boys, Monro Muffler/Brake, Midas, etc. as they usually only employ ONE ASE Certified Tech just so they can say they do and chances are, that guy is the asst. manager or manager and is not in the store to diagnose/repair vehicles anyway. Find a service location in the link below or get some names out of the yellow-pages and do a drive-by. Garages that employ ASE Certified Technicians will be marked with the 'Blue-Seal' insignia. If unsure about whether a place employs Certified Techs, just ask to see their credentials. ALL ASE Certified Technicians will be PROUD to show and display their certificate(s).

Thanks for the question, I hope this information was helpful to you.
