Oh, yeah the green plug is the internal mode switch (IMS), those are the same. You need to swap the sensor assembly in the second picture, the two black sensors with the wire running between them and then connected to the TEHCM.

The two small black square-shaped objects connected to the small black wiring harness, bolted to the housing via 10mm bolts, are you input and output speed sensors...If the picture above is from a 2012 6L80 and you want to swap that assembly into a 2007 6L80, you won't be able to do so as is (at least not without a boat load of adaptation/programming/modification).View attachment 427789View attachment 427790
Off white thing with green plug housing in the first photo, opposite side of valve body in the 2nd.
Thank you, Nick. Very much appreciated.The two small black square-shaped objects connected to the small black wiring harness, bolted to the housing via 10mm bolts, are you input and output speed sensors...If the picture above is from a 2012 6L80 and you want to swap that assembly into a 2007 6L80, you won't be able to do so as is (at least not without a boat load of adaptation/programming/modification).
At the very least, you'll need to purchase a harness/speed sensor assembly for a 2012+ as they changed in 2012 to coincide with the change to the unigear ring gear design.
The 2006-2009 valve bodies are mechanically calibrated a little differently than the 2010+ so the valve body castings are different which means you'll need to do some serious reprogramming/changing of the OS version currently installed onto the 2007 vehicle...Programming, etc can be done with either HP Tuners or AC Delcos TDS programming subscription but I've never messed with either so can't give any guidance beyond that.
I consider the 2006-2009 transmissions 'different; than the 2010-2013 and likewise for the 2014+ when it comes to 6L80s/90s.
Next Steps: Remove the 2007 unit from your truck, have the original transmission gone through and ensure the TEHCM, IMS and speed sensor assembly are all replaced along with the requisite parts and procedural updates performed to ensure the unit lasts a long time...Then reinstall the freshly rebuilt 2012 into your truck (along with your upgraded torque converter) then perform a fast adapt relearn after filling it but prior to taking it for a test drive.

ETA: The length of the output shafts also changed in 2012, owing to the ring gear basket/unigear engineering change.

I thought you were trying to swap a 2012 6L80's TEHCM/VB assy into your 2007 6L80, as per the second half of your thread title:The 2007 vehicle no longer exists. I took the transmission (including the valve body/TEHCM and the converter). That valve body/TEHCM is sitting on my bench, with the speed sensor/harness, etc, completely intact aside from the 6 bolts attaching it to the case.
Then I'd purchase a reman unit from General Motors (3 yr/100k mile warranty)....I don't really have time to wait for a rebuilder to go through my original. It's my daily driver, I need it for work.
Not without reprogramming/adaptation unless the TEHCM part numbers match between your original transmission and the replacement unit. If the numbers do match (which would indicate the replacement came from a vehicle configured just like yours in all respects relevant to the transmission), and if everything actually works on that replacement, you would just need to run a fast adapt prior to driving it.Based on your post, a 6L80 from a 2010-2013 GM vehicle should work with my 2012 valve body/tehcm?
When you get out of the shower, do you put on all clean clothes or do you also put some of the dirty clothes back on, that you just took off prior to showering?When I do get the 2012 back from wherever I decide to have it rebuilt, do you suggest I replace the TEHCM, IMS, and speed sensor with brand new pieces? What is the reasoning, I'm not questioning your obvious expertise, I'm genuinely curious.
That's good; bolt those back onto the 2007 6L80, run the reprogramming and adapts and if the 2007 transmission works, then you should be fine for a while. I'm not sure I'd reuse the converter...If you can swing it, I'd grab a new one...Doesn't have to be anything fancy, but the pre-existing converter could be in any sort of shape and fail at any time...The title is accurate. But the actual vehicle the 2007 transmission comes from has in all likelihood been crushed already. I do have the 2007 valve body, TEHCM, IMS, & speed sensor.
