Cases and Housings

While the 700R4 featured a one piece case for its entire life, the 4L60E started life as a one piece design.  It evolved into several different versions of a two piece design.  Picking the right one is crucial.  Make sure you have the right transmission.  If you aren’t sure.  Use this guide to identify which 4L60E you have.

 

Servo Covers

The servo cover is a problem area on older 700r4’s, as well as the 4L60E.  It is will often leak.  If you do end up replacing it to stop a leak (whether you buy it here or not), make sure that you get a new O-Ring with it.  Otherwise, you may have to order and wait for it to arrive in the mail.
