Are 4L60E and 4L65E the same?

The 4L65E shares the same exterior parts but have stronger internals such as 5 pinion planets compared to 4 in the 4L60E. 4L60E uses a 6.5″ depth bell with 6 bolts for non gen 3 LS applications and a 7″ depth bell with 7 bolts for LS applications. The 4L65E/70E uses a 7″ depth bell and 7 bolts.

What did the 4L65E transmission come in?

GM trucks were the major users of the 4L65E transmission. Today, this unit is also used in performance cars including GM Australia’s Holden Monaro and the Chevrolet Corvette. Also, the 2005-2006 Pontiac GTO relies on the 4L65E transmission and it was inspired by the Holden Monaro.

Can I put a 4L60E in place of a 4L65E?

Are they Interchangeable? The 4L65E was designed with the LS V8 engines in mind. They are not directly compatible with the 4L60E because they use a different torque converter and input shaft. So if you are going to use a 4L65E make sure that you get the 300mm torque converter with it.

How good is a 4L65E transmission?

The 4L65E is ideal for such a high amount of torque, as its five-pinion design, 3-4 clutch and improved hydraulic fluid capacity make it a clear winner over the 4L60E for heavier builds with more required power.

Is a 4L65E a good transmission?

Also sporting a different torque controller, the 4L65E comes with a hardened sun shell and has an overall better potential as a big block performance transmission due to its planetary carrier.

Will a 5.3 bolt up to a 4L65E?

Will a 5.3 bolt up to a 4l60e? Most 5.3’s came with a 4l60e behind them, so YES, they fit. Look for one from the “LS years” meaning 2000+ which will have all the correct bell housing bolt holes. You need to find a 2wd tranny as well, otherwise the tail shaft will have to be swapped out to work.

What’s the difference between a 4L60E and 4L65E transmission?

Older 4L60E transmissions come with a four-bolt tail housing, versus the 4L65E’s six-bolt. However, some later 4L60E transmissions also came with a six-bolt tail housing, as well as a removable bellhousing.

What’s the torque limit on the GM 4L65E transmission?

The 4L65E transmission is built for Chevrolet, as an improved iteration of the 4L60E, and a successor to the 700R4. Unlike its predecessors, the 4L60E and later 4L65E is an electronic automatic transmission, with a five-pinion gearset, overdrive, and a stock torque limit of about 380 ft.-lbs. torque.

What’s the difference between the Monaros 4L60E and 4L65E?

To the best of my knowledge, all Monaros are fitted with the 4L60E Auto, whereas later HSVs are fitted with the 4L65E. I have heard that comparing these transmissions is like comparing a Turbo 350 with a Turbo 400!! What are the actual differences between these transmissions? If the 65E is stronger, where is it stronger?

Which is stronger a 4L60 or a 5 pinion Trans?

TRANS: M30 it was factory fitted with a 4L60-E If it has stamped… TRANS: M32 …that’s the 4L65-E. The 5 pinion planetary is a band-aid fix to strengthen the trans and aid in shaft support . In my opinion a properly modified 4 pinion 4L60E trans is much stronger than the standard 5 pinion 4L65E transmission ..

Are 4L60E and 4L65E the same?
