Tranny question

[JwMonE99]

What trannsy is in the 98-02 V6s? are they the same ones that are in the LS1?

Reason for questioning is because motor swap (3.8 V6-5.7 LS1) mite be coming soon and needs to know if new trannsy is needed.

Yes it's a 4L60e but it won't have items like the corvette servo and some of the heavier duty items put into the LS1 versions.

So what would I need? Can I do a straight swap motor or motor or do I need to do some things to the tranmsisson

[mrr23]

bellhousing will most likely be different. same internals.

[JwMonE99]

Errrrr, still kinda lost lol

[JwMonE99]

What I guess im trying to say is, will there be a problem when I do the LS1 swap with the V6 when it comes down to hooking the actual transmission to it?

[mrr23]

easy answer. your v6 trans won't fit the LS1.

[JwMonE99]

So if its the same transmission, what do I need to do to get it to fit?

[shady milkman]

there are conversion kits

which goes back to what i stated. they are both 4L60E transmissions, internally. the case that holds it all is what's different.

kinda like a black and white person. on the inside the same parts. on the outside, different skin.

:lol: perfect agnology(sp) when its all said and done it would be cheaper and less hassle to buy a ls1 then to swap a v6 - ls1

As far as the work goes im not too worried about, i still have my 300ZX to drive around and its hard to find a good LS1 car at a good price around here so thats why im considering the swap due to insurance and idk lol
