Doesn't help him, as the final gear is still a .75 OD, same as a stock 80e.There it's a 4l80e 6speed available. Not sure on price, but again you will probably have floor plan clearance issues.
Just drop in a T56.

Thanks for the info I didn't know that.Doesn't help him, as the final gear is still a .75 OD, same as a stock 80e.
Just adds a few grand to a already very expensive swap.
T56 is the best bet really :lol:
A T56 with .5 od and 3.73's will spin at 2100 rpms at 85. My T56 with 3.42's spins at 1950rpms at 85.When I put 3.73's in my automatic 96 LT1 firebird, I noticed a big difference. I also noticed that highway speeds now suck. So I switched to some 3.42's. I would like to put my 3.73's back in, cause they just felt right in the car. It seemed faster, and probably was.
So of course what any engineer would say, is that the obvious answer to the problem is that you need another gear. The 6l80e has two more gears. I want to be able to run about 85 mph at 1,800 RPM's. With two more gears, that should be more than doable. What all do I need to do to make that transmission fit my 96 LT1 car?
Which 4l60e are you referring to, that is a 6 speed? Never heard of it. I thought it was called the 6l80e lol.There is a 4l80e 6speed available. Not sure on price, but again you will probably have floor plan clearance issues.
He means a 4L80E not the 4L60E, and its a not a stock trans.Which 4l60e are you referring to, that is a 6 speed? Never heard of it. I thought it was called the 6l80e lol.
Want to stick with an automatic. Had my fun with standards already, and I like to be able to drive my car in traffic if need be. Its not really a daily, but when I do want to go somewhere its usually Fort worth or Dallas and its high traffic. Standards ain't no fun in high traffic.
Its a 4L80e six speed. Google it. But the OD does you no good in our cause its taller (.75 vs .69 in yours) than the 4L60e OD. And that transmission has now girth than the 60 too.Which 4l60e are you referring to, that is a 6 speed? Never heard of it. I thought it was called the 6l80e lol.

Its a much bigger trans, so, trans tunnel, yea say good bye to that.Ok different idea. What about mating a 6l80e up to an LS motor? Say one day I get tired of my LT1, or its just time for a motor swap cause its wore out. I could get that caddy v8 or whatever other V8 LS engine comes with the 6l80e in the escalade. Probably a 6.0 liter.
That way, there wouldn't be any costs trying to get them to fit together. Not like there would be, if you made a 6l80e fit an LT1 engine. Perhaps under those circumstances, it could become worth it? Buying and engine and tranny combo still stuck together from the junkyard, comes to mind.
No, thats a huge beast. :lol:SNM; Is that big trans going into your Camaro or something else?
Hmm. So is the 4L80e smaller than the 6L80e? Perhaps size wouldn't be an issue with the 4L80e six speed? Or are you saying that the 4L"80"e, is made by this TCI company, so it's not really going to help?He means a 4L80E not the 4L60E, and its a not a stock trans.
TCI makes a new planetary set that gives you gears in between the stock gears. So again, end gear is the same as stock.
The 80e is much smaller, it fit into my trans tunnel fine.Hmm. So is the 4L80e smaller than the 6L80e? Perhaps size wouldn't be an issue with the 4L80e six speed? Or are you saying that the 4L"80"e, is made by this TCI company, so it's not really going to help?
