yeah Steve filled me in on the details tonight at the social club, this sort of mixed up naming scheme i'd never heard of b4 either and will probably teach PhilO a lesson or 2 too, makes you think the 3rd gens were simple, TH700R4 for a decade! none of this odd boxes under psudonyms stuff!!

would be good to know the cut off dates for the change for advising people in the future, as I said tonight no wonder you see all these 4th gens for sale with dead gearboxes if they have this kind of hassle when fixing the things!! although I have to say Wheels in Motion have been very accomodating with Steve basically shifting the work done messing around with the other boxes onto the standard cost of their 4L60E / TH700R4e rebuild & not charging him extra which is circa £800!!

Bargain if you ask me!!!!

even thirdgen 700R4's arent all the same, there are two different bellhousings, and different input splines and even two different pumps..

4th gens are a bit of a mystery to me though, dont know much about them, although as the new box came from an LS1 car, its not totaly suprising the bellhousing is different..

its not totaly suprising the bellhousing is different..

The real difference in the bell housing is that the early 4L60e was like the 700R4 with a removable section at the bottom to aid removal, and the rest of the bell housing being part of the main casting.

The late 4L60e has a seperate casting that is all one piece and bolts onto the main casting from the inside....

From what i've seen, the bolt patterents and clearances are the same in both, but the input spline being different is a killer!

Might be worth calling them and seeing how its being shipped, you might find for like £50 more you could get it quicker like in 4 days
