Question 1

Is the 4L60E transmission good?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the 4L60E transmission is known as a reliable gearbox that can handle whatever you throw at it. When reconditioned to the right specification using quality components, it’s ultra strong and ready for your LS swap or any other high-performance build you can dream up.

Question 2

How do I know if my 4L60E is bad?

Accepted Answer

You can tell your 4L60E is bad if it’s slipping while shifting gears or outright fails to shift. The symptoms should appear without a check engine light, which would indicate that the gearbox has a bad solenoid. To fix the problem, source a remanufactured 4L60E built to OEM specification.

Question 3

How long does the 4L60E transmission last?

Accepted Answer

With proper maintenance, the 4L60E transmission can last even longer than 200,000 miles. A remanufactured unit can last much longer since all its internals are replaced with new or re-machined parts that exceed original equipment manufacturer specs.

Question 4

Is it better to buy a used, rebuilt, or remanufactured 4L60E transmission?

Accepted Answer

A remanufactured 4L60E is better than a used or rebuilt product in terms of cost and reliability. You just have to find a reputable supplier who uses the Hollander Interchange to source the right gearbox. Then, you can stay in the zone while doing your vehicle repairs or swap project.
