That is right!! I just started my swap and its done in under 10 hours start to finish! I studied this thread front to back for a month before to try to cover everything and all his measurements were spot on! This is the official 4L80E swap thread now.

sticky anyone??

Thank you for the kind praise. I thoroughly enjoyed doing it. Wish I had the cash to do more major mods and document them.

could anyone tell me if the 80e is compatable with my dynatech Y pipe (very similar position to the stock Y pipe)?

The main harness is going to be gravy. I'll document it when I get there. But dismantle the connector. Move the brown wire to another spot and move the white wire to a location that isn't used in the connector.

I am about to install a 4l80e using a 2001 Harness/Computer, and these are the wires (from the 4l60e) I plan to use for my 2nd VSS:

Blue 79 - White - 3-2 Shift Solenoid Control

Red 42 - Tan/Black - TCC Enable Circuit(only used on 4l60e)

Anyone have any thoughts? Should keep me pretty clean. I think they are wires S&T.

I plan to move U to S

The 2 65e's are now gone. Just a spare 80e sitting there now

Only concern I have using the existing wires in the main harness for the vss sensor is that the VSS wiring needs to be a twisted pair. Whether absolutely necessary or not I don't know?

I don't know how important/true that is....but apparently the speed sensors are quite sensitive to interference.
Also....it doesn't matter which wire goes to which of the two pins at the PCM.

EDIT: easy way to make them a twisted pair....tie one end of each wire to something and put the two 'other' ends in the battery drill....pull the trigger. Voila...twisted pair.
I pulled the wires for the speed sensor straight from an old harness that had an 80e in it. Wondered why they were twisted. Good to know it doesn't matter about the polarity.. if it can be screwed up I can do it.
