So i picked up these 2 transmission, the one on left i bought one on right was free.<br/><br/>One on the left the bolts to torque converter dont line up with the flywheel, and it has the weird input shaft, one on the right the converter lines up but the bell housing is weird and its got a smoked 23 clutches.<br/><br/>So im without a transmission good news is i slept in 2 days in a row, i definitely needed that didnt realize how worn down i was getting.

Guy I bought the tranny from says he has another one and he's almost positive it came from a 5.3 so here is hoping. If the third time fails to be the charm I'm just going to say screw it and buy a 4l80 didnt plan on spending that kind of money for a 400 horse motor but I know it will work, last , and be way more than I'll need for a few years

One on the left is from an older V8 or V6, not an LS series engine. 7SHD is for a 1997 2WD S10 Pickup

One on right looks like an inline 6 trans for a trailblazer. 4SSD code is for a 2004 2WD trailblazer with a 4.2L.

Google the 4 digit code on the next one and see if it's what you need. I would have him take those back if he told you otherwise on the fitment.

Pretty sure I'm going to end up in court with this guy. I'm stuck, with 2 transmission I can't use running out of money and just about plain tired of the whole thing.

Think I'm just going to goto the junk yard and try to find one I can use there, or I don't know. Put the motor back on the stand and let it sit for a year I'm sick of spending money.

Anyone in or around d tulsa have a working 4l60e for a 5.3 for cheap?

So I've decided to just put a 4l80e in the truck and deal with this dude in court. So quick question.

If I get a 2001 or newer 4l80e with the torque converter, and flywheel from a 6.0 engine will it all bolt right up to my 5.3?

If I go with an older 4l80e what all do I need to make it work with my 5.3?

Trying very hard to avoid the 1000 dollar custom converter problem

1. Yes bolt right in.
2. Correct flywheel and converter from a 6.0 or 4.8 application

Thanks so much, so I bought a 2001 4l80e with converter and flywheel from a 6.0 2500 hd truck last night from the salvage yard. They called me this morning and told me the grease monkey broke the tranny taking it out of the truck. If I didn't have bd luck I'd have no luck at all SMH
