I'm trying to convert a 1993 Chevy Suburban from an EFI motor over to old school carburetor setup. I've been told because I have an 4L60E transmission that I need to have a special setup for it. How would I go about making sure my tranny works with the new setup?

no engine told and is a pure engine question + EFI
nor what was moved with the newer engine to the older car.
to the blind and deaf.
lost the scan tool>?
check all fuses.
battery fully charged

The E means that it is electronic and has a transmission control module. That module is matched to the transmission and the ECM. It wont work;.

It may physically fit but electronics are updated. Seek dealer advice.

700R4 is an old name. About the late 80's they were renamed 4L60. But you would not have that either. 93+ Chevy trucks have a 4L60E
(there are others such as the 4L80E which is a heavt duty transmission for like work trucks)

Not without a little adapting. The 1993 has a 4l60e which is electronically controlled and has shift solenoids. If the 83 is an overdrive it is a 700r4 which is the same trans but not electronic. If you put it in the speedo wont work and you will need to install a T.V. cable so the transmission will shift. The 93 won't go forward or backwards?

It is a 4L60E , electronic trans. The same trans fits 93 through 99 old body style Tahoe, Suburban, and Pick up's. Good Luck

they used 2 different transmissions eighther a 4L60E,or a 4L80E you can usualy tell by the amount of bolts in the pan check with local autoparts dealer for exact number each has

If the overall length of the tailshafts are the same, If I remember correctly, you can just swap the tailshaft housings.In some cases though, the output shaft needs to be swapped as well. Check with any transmission shop and they can tell you for sure!

rebuild the original, a 95 wont and cant work, and it a 2 wheel drive if the shaft is too long... www.TransmissionGarage.com

Hi. I have a '93 Chevy Suburban that is on the 3rd transmission. What you probably have is the earlier 700R4 transmission. What you should have is the 4L60E. I have done ALOT of research on these transmissions, and what I've found out is this: the 4L60E is essentially the same as the 700R4, with the exception that the 4L60E is completely controlled by the vehicle's computer. The 700R4 uses a more antiquated valve body with a TV (throttle valve) cable. In theory, you could use the 700R4 if you connect the TV cable and properly adjust it. If it's a 4X4, your speed sensor is in the transfer case, so that wouldn't be an issue. The 4L60E used in '93 and '94 will only work in those model year vehicles, because of the type of shift solenoids used. The newer units used pulse width modulation solenoids, as opposed to the older on/off solenoids. I have run my truck with the transmission unplugged and the engine still runs fine. The major problem with using the earlier 700R4as opposed to the correct 4L60E, would be emissions compliance. If you want to discuss this further, email me at [email protected]
