Re: Tranny Question. (Sarkee)
The c4 vette tranny is special to the vettes. yes the 700r4 was in the c4 from 84 to mid 93. the vette trannys have a different servo and tailshaft. Ijust had the trans in my dads 90 rebuilt and it was a 700r4

Re: Tranny Question. (5liter eater)
Make sure you get a 700R4 from a Vette, the tail is different on the Vette Tranny. If you get one from an Iroc or TA, you will have to cut the output shaft and buy a Vette Tail.
The years are from 84-93, I believe. But you want an 87 and above model, as they are stronger and have better internals.

The one exception to this is the 93. I dont know what the difference is, but the factory service manual calls it a 4L60. I know it is not the 4L60E (electronic version) It does use a TV cable.

GM changed the name of the 700r4 to that new designation without the "E" for electronic on the end. While checkin on transmissions recently myself, I checked on the Jet made one, the TCI one, the hi-perf Jasper one, the Carr one, and finally the Level Ten one. Check out http://www.levelten.com. The prices seem to vary from 995 for JET to 1200 for discount GM one, to 2245 for Levelten. Also check for cost of torque convertor ( sometimes not included and very desirable). I have been through 4 GM ones in 108k miles, never again. I admit, I am rough on trannys. Worse on clutches.
