Re: What type of Transmission do i have on my 1992 v6 .31 Camaro
 

if its an automatic it is a 700r4 for the v6
manual trans is a t-5 for a v6

thanks.

They make 2 different th700r4s, one for the 4.3l-5.7l engines, & the 2.8l version. Different bellhousing patterns.

Re: What type of Transmission do i have on my 1992 v6 .31 Camaro
 

smaller converter with the smaller v6, too.

what types of trannys can i put in my car??

Re: What type of Transmission do i have on my 1992 v6 .31 Camaro
 

I was told that I could not possibly have a 700r4 with my 1992 camaro rs 3.1L 5 speed overdrive automatic transmission because it was too big and only for high-horsepower or trucks. It has lasted me now for over 360,000 mi. with only oil and filter change regurarly. The engine had gaskets and rings all at 250,000 mi.. This succer just won't quit. Is it really a 700r4 and how much longer may I have?

Re: What type of Transmission do i have on my 1992 v6 .31 Camaro
 

who ever told you all that is full of crap. im not saying 700s cant handle decent power, but high horsepower?? its not in anyway shape or form a high performance trans. i absolutely love the 700r4, but as far as it stacking up against t350, t400, and powerglides...700's are the weakest. BUT they have the one extra gear over the rest called overdrive which is why i love it. and you can certainly build one up to take "high horspower". but they were never recognized for that as a factory trans. oh and no, its not 4 gears PLUS a 5th overdrive. its 3 PLUS a 4th as overdrive.

Re: What type of Transmission do i have on my 1992 v6 .31 Camaro
 

:iagree:I dont know told ya that info but I got a 91 3.1L camaro with one and all of them had one regardless if it was a V6 or V8. 700r4 and 200r4 were in all thirdgen f-bodys, 700r4 came in the mid 80's through the 90's.... i think thats when the 700s started in f-bodys, like 1984 or so. But anyways yes you have that 700r4 and itll hold up with some Hp, not a crap load but unless your reallly building up a major V6, youll never need another tranny.

Re: What type of Transmission do i have on my 1992 v6 .31 Camaro
 

This. I'm on my third 700R4, I'd love to see this 300k mile high horse capable one. Haha. :burnout: From what what i've always been told is they usually don't last over 200-250k miles.

Re: What type of Transmission do i have on my 1992 v6 .31 Camaro
 

And from what im told they dont handle much more then 300Hp or she'll go bang!!!LOL

Re: What type of Transmission do i have on my 1992 v6 .31 Camaro
 

Guys, I have to tell you that if you were to go to a dealer and ask for parts for a 91-92 700R4, the guys would look at you like you're nuts. The designator for the 700R4 changed to the 4L60 in late 1990 with new Federal regulations. And yes, it's weak, even when made stronger. However, the earlier (pre-1987) 700's were weaker than the rest and they continued to upgrade them until the electronics were added to give it electronic shifting.

Re: What type of Transmission do i have on my 1992 v6 .31 Camaro
 

I thought the 4L60 is the same as the 700R4? 4L60E is the electronic shift controled tranny that came after the 4l60/700r4's right? So if i would buy a 700r4 shift kit it wouldnt work? Not that i m buying one, im just trying to learn the dif. between the two trannys since were on the subject.

Re: What type of Transmission do i have on my 1992 v6 .31 Camaro
 

Yes, they're the same. But we know how most parts guys are... What the sentence I posted meant is that the Fed required a name change on all transmissions sold in the US to make things easier for the average idiot to understand (what does TH-350, 400, 200-4R, 700R4 mean, anyways? The 4 and R are self explanatory, but what about the rest?).

Re: What type of Transmission do i have on my 1992 v6 .31 Camaro
 

Yea good point... i have now idea what the 200 or 700 mean... Thanks though on the info!!

Re: What type of Transmission do i have on my 1992 v6 .31 Camaro
 

700 means 700 extra horsepower, duh! T stands for turbo hydraulic, which means 700+turbo= probably like 1200 horses it's yanking out of my motor. Plus I painted race stripes on my 700R4, which is about another 50 horse. :lmao:

OT: I've ran into a few people at the junkyard before that never even heard of a "700R4" :confused::eek: They were kids of course but I had to tell them a transmission.

Re: What type of Transmission do i have on my 1992 v6 .31 Camaro
 

Don't try to yank my crank... I know the THM-350 can handle tons more power than the 700R4, so that's :bs: . And, you're wrong... TurboHydraMatic (THM, as in the first 3 letters of pretty much every automatic transmission GM put out except the PowerGlide), not turbo hydraulic.

:confused: Just messin'

Re: What type of Transmission do i have on my 1992 v6 .31 Camaro
 

I am going to check that out very carefully. Go 1st then 2nd then 4th and see how many from their I go. No doubt if I go to overdrive I will get a gear change.

Re: What type of Transmission do i have on my 1992 v6 .31 Camaro
 

and also dont forget when the torque converter locks up, because thats not "another gear". and it happens at differant rates on differant cars. my 92 rs 3.1 locks up at 40-43 mph under light load.

Re: What type of Transmission do i have on my 1992 v6 .31 Camaro
 

After contacting GM they identified from year,model,engine, and VIN that it was a 4-Speed ( THM700R4/4L60 ) 4-SPD Auto Trans ( MD8 ). This information I hope to verify by actually observing something written or unique on the tranny. How would this be possible?

Re: What type of Transmission do i have on my 1992 v6 .31 Camaro
 

I have confirmed that my 1992 Camaro RS 3.1L has a 4L60 which is just an another name for the THM 700R4. It does consist of a slipdrive which now often in it's age will cause the passenger wheel to thunk when accelerating quickly from dead stop. It still at 360,000 glides through gears smoothly. If you can get a lemon then I must have a cherry.

Re: What type of Transmission do i have on my 1992 v6 .31 Camaro
 

by slipdrive, you're referring to the open carrier in the rear end? yes, that's factory on v6 cars.

Re: What type of Transmission do i have on my 1992 v6 .31 Camaro
 

Im not trying to thread jack but since this is asking about transmissions i figured id ask what i have.

I have a 1982 2.8 with a manual 4 speed.

Thanks
