All new bearings, steels, clutches, seprator plate, updated sunshell, shift correction kit, seal kit, new fluid, convertor, pump rebuild kit, lots of cleaner and I would do a deep pan and cooler upgrade.

The difference is the "e" - computer/electronic control vs manual/vacuum controlled operation of the non-e version. The guts are basically the same between the two.

Oops goofed that one up.

I'm 99.999% certain 700R4/4L60 is not vacuum operated, it's got a TV Cable.

 

[SunlitComet]

correct. tv cable.

so just by looking at it, how could i tell the difference? or would a 93 have the 4l60 since its "technically" a blazer and might be before they did the change to electronic junk??

 

[retorq]

93 is when they started changing over. Look at the electronic plug on the trans, if it has 4 wires or so it's a 700/4L60 if it has 12 or more its a 4L60E.
