Can you put a 4L80E in place of a 4L60E?
A 4L80E converter is a different bolt pattern from a 4L60E. So even if you use a spacer, you need to have a converter with a 4L60E bolt pattern and a 4L80E pump end.
How can you tell the difference between a 4l60 and a 4L80 transmission?
Appearance. The 4L80E can be told apart from the 4L60E by looking at their transmission fluid pan. This is because the 4L80E has a pan that is oval in shape whereas a rectangular pan is featured by the 4L60E. Another disparity between both devices is the number of bolts used to secure the transmission to the engine.
How much longer is a 4L80E than a 4L60E?
The 4L80E is larger and heavier than the 4L60E. Its more hefty build can be tied to its 236 lbs and a length of 26.4″. Alternatively, the 4L60E weighs 150 lbs (without fluid) and it has a length of 23.5″. A comparison between the size and weight shows that the 4L80E is significantly larger and heavier.

Can you swap from 4L60E to 4L80E transmission?
Swapping from the 4L60E to the 4L80E is not difficult to do in vehicles that were equipped with both transmissions. Here are the main parts that you are going to need in order to make your own 4L60E to 4L80E swap kit.
Which is better 4L60E or 4L80E driveshaft?
The 4l80e driveshaft is longer than the 4l60e and this has to be considered when doing your swap. However, the same thing applies here. If your car model came with the 4l80e transmission from the factory, get a driveshaft from one of these models if possible.
Is the Chevy 4L80 compatible with GM engines?
While the 4L80 is generally mechanically compatible with Chevrolet style GM engines, it does require a transmission controller. That controller may be the factory-integrated with the PCM as on 1991-1999 TBI & Gen II engines, with the 1999-2007 Gen III engines, or the 2007+ Gen IV engines.
What’s the difference between a 91 and 93 4L80E?
The control system is the same for all 4l80e’s with 1 exception. 91-93 4l80e’s used a different pressure control solenoid that required a clean8ng cycle every 10 seconds where the solenoid was stroked from full open to full closed and back to normal operation. In 94 they changed to a solenoid that didn’t require it.
