Inliners International Forums General Discussion Drive Train Can I run a 4L60E in my totally mechanical truck?

As above mentioned..

I'm about to shop gearbox and want to choose the right one. I'm not in USA, so limited on availability and price on gearboxes.

Have got a low mileage 4L60E offered, but am afraid it's not gonna work without hi-tech setups etc etc...

Thanks!

You would need a stand alone control unit.

Just thinking a bit more into your question.

IIRC, you could make the valve body so it is only a manual shift type valve body, meaning you would have to shift the trans manually for every gear change.

Thanks Hank.

I also have to say that I have no intention of using the car for more than cruising and of course a little show of now and then.

So maybe I should just choose a th350 with a torque converter and then forget about OD..

It's getting a bit pricey if I Have to spend another 750$ on a ECU..

A stock used auto trans is easy 500$ and up

You might be able to find a 4L60 (no E) that you could use. It is basically the same as a 700R4.

There is another way to do this:

Use transgo's kit to control the line pressure
4l60 line control

And then use a pair of toggle switches to shift the forward gears, I did this for quite a while before installing a controller.

Use a vacumm switch and a relay to control the L/U converter.

Or if you don't like the toggle switches then I can provide a kit that will run the gears - you will need to move the shifter to select the gears though.
