Sadly, it wasn't ment to be. Ray's box wouldn't fit my car.
GM have some real issues with their naming schemes.
There are two flavours of 4L60e which are very different to look at.
the early version that is fitted to my car is a progression of the 700R4, and is in fact identical to the 700R4e (two identical boxes with different names).
The late 4L60e (which is what Ray's box is) is internally the same, but has a different bell housing, a different tail casting and speed sensor fixing, is 1.7" shorter, and has a different torque convertor spline.
Two very different boxes with the same name.
WTF?
It is possable to fit a late 4L60e in place of an early 4L60e, but I would have to get a tail end conversion plate to be able to fit a 4 bolt early tail casting to the 6 bolt fixing on the main casting; and to make up the difference in length.
However, the only place I could find that sold the conversion plate wanted near on $500 for it.
Also, in order to get round the spline issues at the front end I would have had to buy a new torque convertor.
All this adds up to a lot more cash to make it fit.
Thankfully Ray agreed to take the box back, but I feel really bad for messing him around.
The box that was pulled is now being rebuilt to go back in.
It's a shame, cuz I'd really sold myself on having Rays uprated box fitted.
