What transmission is in a Chevy Astro?

Transmission in a Chevy Astro
The transmission in a Chevy Astro varied depending on the model year. Early on, the Astro/Safari vans were available with either the 700r4 4-speed automatic, a 4-speed manual, or the t5 5-speed manual transmissions. In 1994, they moved to electronic controls of the automatic with the 4L60E. The 4L60E transmission was used in the Chevy Astro from 1994 to 2005. This means that the 4L60E transmission is the type of transmission found in the Chevy Astro during the 1996-2005 model years.
The 4L60E transmission is remanufactured, like new, with all OEM engineering updates, includes the torque converter and no core charge. It also comes with a 5-year unlimited mileage warranty.
The most common problem with later-model Chevy Astro transmissions is failure of the valve body, which is the central component of the automatic transmission. Less common problems are the failures of the transmission’s fluid pressure (TFP) switch, failure of the transmission’s “reaction sun shell,” and failure of the transfer case shift motor.

What years did they make the 4L60 transmission?

The key distinction of the Later 4L60-E (1996-2010) from the Early 4L60-E (1992-1997), 4L60 (1990-1992), or 700R4 (1982-1989) is the six-bolt “hex” rear output or tailhousing / adapter pattern. The previous versions featured a four-bolt square bolt pattern at the adapter or tailhousing.

Do I have a 4L60 or 4l80?

The 4L80E can be told apart from the 4L60E by looking at their transmission fluid pan. This is because the 4L80E has a pan that is oval in shape whereas a rectangular pan is featured by the 4L60E. Another disparity between both devices is the number of bolts used to secure the transmission to the engine.

Are 4L60 and 4L60E the same?

RE: What is the difference between the GM 4L60E transmissions? All 700r4, 4L60, and 4L60E transmissions have the same gear ratios. The major differences are external. Electrical hookups, speed sensor hookups, calibration, and converter stall are the main differences.

What is needed for a 4L60E swap?

Because the 4L60E is an electronically controlled overdrive, it demands electronic watch-keepers like a stand-alone controller, TPS input, and converting the electronic signal into a useable speed display. Then there are the mechanical bits like the need for a shorter driveshaft and some floorpan mods.

What is the strongest Chevy transmission?

10L90
The 10L90 is one of General Motors’ most advanced automatic transmissions, and its wider 7.39 overall gear ratio spread enhances off-the-line performance, with an aggressive first-gear ratio of 4.70.

What transmission is in a 1999 Astro van?

Vehicle is a 1999 astro van 4.3l 2wd with obviously a 4l60e transmission.

Will a 4L60E replace a 4L60?

While the 4L60 is controlled with a TV cable, the 4L60E gets its own control from a computer. This difference can be sorted when the latter is placed in the position of the former; for this reason, all that is needed is for you to get a new transmission controller so that you can override its control mechanisms.

Are all 4L60E the same?

None of the ’93 -’97 4L60E’s are directly interchangeable, except ’93 and ’94 and ’96 and ’97!!! Here’s a list of yearly differences that will show you why. Yes, some years will fit in others and may not even throw a code, but there will be an issue in the long run.

What transmission does a Chevy Astro have?

Astro/Safari vans were available early on with either the 700r4 4 speed automatic, a 4 speed manual, or the t5 5 speed manual transmissions. This lasted through 89 when they stopped offering the manual transmission. In 94 they moved to electronic controls of the automatic with the 4L60E.
