Non-LS 4L60E uses a 298 mm converter and the traditional small-block/V6 bell pattern. LS-pattern units have a different bellhousing (with a top bolt hole) and typically use a 300 mm converter. Parts do not interchange without swap components.
Many 1993–2000 GM RWD cars & light trucks with the non-LS 298 mm converter: C/K 1500, S-10/Sonoma, Blazer/Jimmy, Tahoe/Suburban, Astro/Safari, Caprice/Impala SS, and 1993–1997 Camaro/Firebird (LT1). Not for LS-based 5.3/6.0 trucks or 1998–2002 LS1 F-body without swap parts.
Yes—each package includes a matched 298 mm converter (billet and stall options available on performance tiers).
We configure solenoids/valve body to your calibration. On 1996–2000 vehicles, perform a crank/PCM relearn after install for best results.
Always flush or replace the cooler & lines to protect the new unit and maintain warranty coverage.
Order the correct output/tailhousing configuration. If you’re changing setups (lift, tires, gears), tell us—we’ll match the package.
Coverage is listed per tier—up to 6 Years / Unlimited Miles. Extend can continue protection after the Monster term.
*HP figures are guidance; vehicle weight, tires, gearing, load, and tuning affect capacity. When in doubt, step up a level.

The 4L60E’s 3–4 clutch and 2–4 band are common pain points, especially with added weight, gear, or power. Our Street/Sport/Track tiers upgrade the 3–4 pack, use a wider band with a performance servo, and add reinforced hard parts (e.g., hardened sun shell) so the unit holds apply pressure without burning clutches.
PWM lockup and heat can glaze the TCC. We pair the build with a matched 298 mm converter (billet options on performance tiers) to reduce slip and improve lockup control. The result: cooler temps and cleaner shifts.
Use fresh DEXRON-VI, verify cooler flow is unrestricted, and consider a low-restriction auxiliary cooler for towing. A deep aluminum pan adds capacity and improves heat rejection on long grades.
With a capable scan tool, perform a transmission adaptive pressure reset (if available), then complete a light-throttle drive cycle with progressive upshifts and gentle coastdowns so the TCM can relearn. On 1996–2000 OBD-II vehicles, perform a crank/PCM relearn if applicable.
Non-LS 4L60E uses a 298 mm converter and the traditional small-block/V6 bell pattern. LS-pattern units use a different bellhousing (top bolt ear) and typically a 300 mm converter.
DEXRON-VI only. Capacity varies by pan/converter; after a rebuild with a deep pan expect ~11–14 quarts. Always check per dipstick at temperature.
No. A proper adaptive reset + drive cycle is recommended. Tunes can complement higher-tier builds but aren’t required.
Heat and limited apply area. Our higher tiers add clutch capacity, servo/band improvements, and revised hydraulics.
Order the correct output/tailhousing. If you’re swapping transfer cases or gear ratios, tell us so we can match the package.
