1996 Gmc Sierra 1500/4l60e

sradney · March 28, 2008

I have a 1996 GMC Sierra 1500 2wd Extended Cab it has a 4L60E in it. However it needs replacing. My question is if one from a '98 work/bolt up/wire up w/o lots of modifications. I have been told that the trans in a '96 will only work with the 96-97 (hard to find) pick up. Please advise if the information I've been told is correct. And if there are modifications required, then what are they?

ok rebuilding is $1500 the same price as a new one. Junk yards around here only have year models near 96 not the exact 96. Or if they do then they are 4x4.
