Transmission manufactured by GM for use in cars and trucks. This transmission has four forward gears (three drive/one over-drive) and one reverse gear. This transmission should be differentiated from the 4L60. This is due to the 4L60e being electronically controlled through the Powertrain Control Module (PCM), while the 4L60 is not.

4L60E small RPM flash during 2-3 upshift
I have 2001 Chevy Tahoe with 4L60E tranny. The car has only about 160k miles as for now. Last year I installed TransGo Shift-Kit 4L60E-HD2 - actually only the parts that make the shifts firmer and quicker, no shims for the hard-shifts, no clutch…

How does PCS on 4l60e work?
Looking at the pinout for the connector for the 4l60e there are 2 pins for the pressure control solenoid. 1 pin for HIGH, and 1 pin for LOW.

Transmission fluid and filter change: Miles or time? Or both?
I'm pretty sure the service schedule for replacing the transmission filter for a 94-96 B-Body with a 4L60E automatic transmission is an interval in miles only. I don't have the number handy at the moment, and a quick search didn't turn up a…
