( May 2017 ) 4L60E / 4L65E Overview Manufacturer General Motors Production 1992 -- Body and chassis Class 4 - speed longitudinal automatic transmission Chronology Predecessor Turbo - Hydramatic Successor 6L80 / 6L90 The 4L60E ( and similar 4L65E ) is a series of automatic transmissions from General Motors. Designed for longitudinal engine configurations, the series includes 4 forward gears and 1 reverse gear. It is an evolution of the Turbo - Hydramatic 700R4, originally produced in 1982. The 4L60E and 4L65E are built at Toledo Transmission in Toledo, Ohio and have also been built at Romulus Transmission in Romulus, Michigan and Ramos Arizpe, Mexico. The two transmissions are differentiated quickly by the 6 or 7 bolt bell housings. 4L60 uses a 6.5 '' depth bell with 6 bolts and 4L65 / 70 uses a 7 '' depth bell and 7 bolts. They also have different input shafts and torque converters. 4L60s uses a 298mm input shaft. 4L65 / 4L70 uses a 300mm input shaft and converter designed for LS applications only. Only corvettes and HD vehicles came equipped with 5 pins.

This happened in 1993 for trucks, vans, and SUVs, and 1994 for rear wheel drive passenger cars. In 1996, a bolt - on bell housing was phased in ( along with a six - bolt tailhousing ) for S - 10 Trucks and S - 10 Blazers and beginning in 1998 for all other applications. Beginning in 1998 a new 300mm torque converter with improved higher - capacity internals, 300mm style input shaft, and 300mm style pump was also introduced on models coupled to a Gen III Small Block. The 4L60E is rated to handle up to 360 ft lbf ( 488 N m ) of torque. It weighs 133 pounds without transmission fluid. The 4L60E family of transmissions use 2 shift solenoids, initially called Shift Solenoid A & Shift Solenoid B, later changed to comply with OBD II ( On Board Diagnostics revision 2 ) regulations to 1 - 2 Shift Solenoid & 2 - 3 Shift solenoid. By activating and deactivating the solenoids in a predetermined pattern by the PCM, 4 distinct gear ratios can be achieved. The shift solenoid pattern, also sometimes referred to as solenoid firing order, is as follows ; Shift Solenoid Pattern 1 - 2 Solenoid 2 - 3 Solenoid 1st Gear On On 2nd Gear Off On 3rd Gear Off Off 4th Gear On Off Applications : Buick Rainier 2004 - 2007 Buick Roadmaster 1994 -- 1996 Cadillac Escalade 1999 - 2000, 2002 - 2005 ( models with LM7 / 5.3 L V8 ) Cadillac Brougham 1991 - 1992 Cadillac Fleetwood 1993 -- 1996 Chevrolet Astro 1993 - 2005 Chevrolet Avalanche 2002 - 2008 Chevrolet S - 10 Blazer 1994 - 2005 Chevrolet Camaro 1994 -- 2002 Chevrolet Caprice 1994 - 96 Chevrolet Colorado 2004 - 2012 Chevrolet Corvette 1994 -- 2004 Chevrolet Express 2003 - 2012 Chevrolet Impala SS 1994 -- 1996 Chevrolet S - 10 1994 - 2005 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 - 2500 ( 2500 with 6 bolt axle pattern ) Chevrolet SSR 2003 - 2006 Chevrolet Suburban Chevrolet Tahoe Chevrolet TrailBlazer 2003 - 2009 GMC Canyon 2004 - 2012 GMC Envoy 2003 - 2009 GMC Jimmy 1993 - 2005 GMC Safari 1993 - 2005 GMC Savana 2003 - 2013 GMC Sierra 1500 - 2500 ( 2500 with 6 bolt axle pattern ) GMC Sonoma 1994 - 2005 GMC Yukon GMC Yukon XL Denali GMC Vandura 1993 - 1996 Holden Commodore ( VR, VS, VT, VX, VY, VZ, VE ) 1993 -- 2012 Holden Caprice ( VR, VS, WH, WK and WL ) 1994 -- 2006 Hummer H3 Oldsmobile Bravada Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser 1991 - 1992 Pontiac Firebird 1994 -- 2002 Pontiac GTO 2004 Saab 9 - 7X 2005 - 2009 4L65E An updated 4L60E, the 4L65E ( RPO M32 ), was phased in the 2001 model year when coupled behind the 6.0 Vortec. Five - pinion front and rear planetaries, along with an additional 3 / 4 clutch allowing 7 clutches in the input housing and induction hardened input shaft assembly, were improved to withstand up to 380 ft lbs ( 515 N m ) of torque.
