Anyone know for sure? I know 93 F-Bodies have a 5-prong connector. Was the last year for the 4 prong 89,90,91,or 92? Thanks

 

So noone knows eh?

 

I believe the 5 pin connector first appeared in 1993.

 

Sounds like you are talking about two different trannies. The 700 (up to some '93's)always had a square connector while the 4L60E ('93 up) had a round one.

New 4L60's have the 5 pin connector too.

 

The connector on the 4L60E will be on the opposite side of the one on the 700R4. I also think there are more than 5 pins in it on the 4L60E. 93 was the transition year from the 700 to the 4L60E, with some vehicles getting the 700 while others got the "E".

As far as F-Bodies are concerned, 1993 was the last year of the 700R4/4L60. The 4l60E appeared in 1994. A 4L60 is a renamed 700R4. So does anyone know for sure?

 

Also, there were no 4L60Es in 93, just 4L60s. All 93 F-Bodies got a 4L60, there were no changes midyear. How do I know? Look at aftermarket throttle bodies for LT1 cars; 92-93 has a specific part number, and 94-97 has a part number. This is because the 92 & 93 have a TV cable for downshifts, and the 94-97 downshift electronically. Make sense?

Ok, lets try this...

Does anyone know what years this tranny will work in? Will it work in 87-92 models? Don't 90-92 have an electronically driven speedometer? I am pretty sure this 89 tranny is cable driven...

Can anyone help me?

 

The LAST year for the 4L60 (700) was 1993 so that ws the last year for the 4 prong connector. Let's try this: What do you have and/or what are you trying to do what with?

 

I was trying to put this tranny into my 93 Z28, but was told by several people the 89 tranny had a four prong connection while the 93 tranny has a 5 prong. So it wouldn't work.

I am thinking about hanging on to the tranny, and possibly buying another thirdgen with a dead trans. So I need to know what this will work in. In the other thread you said it will work in all years, BUT, I know it won't work in 93 F-Bodies. Did you mean 84-92?

 

In an F-body it should work up to '93. If it is a 'Vette, then I believe it had the 4L60E before that, but I am not positive.
