Default 4l60e swap

can i take any 4l60e transmission and just replace the tail shaft housing ( if i take a 1995 firebird 4l60e transmission and change the tail-shaft housing and put it into a 1995 corvette , will it fit ?)

Use a cutoff wheel and cut 5/8" off the end of the tailshaft. Then it will work.

You need a stand alone controller to run it. Also if you use the VSS on the 4L60E with the corvette tail housing you need to grind out clearance on the housing for the pickup ring.

The op is putting a 1995 firebird 4l60e tranny into a 1995 Corvette

I used the firebird as an example, I am purchasing a rebuilt transmission from dannys transmissions, they advised there should be no problems with the swap, I was just looking for information if any 2wd 4l60e would be able to be installed in a 95 corvette or if there is something special outside the tail shaft i should be thinking of, that's it
