Okay looks like your post got 23 thumbs up. For sure I will do a manual transmission. I was actually already planning on it. I'm swapping my 68 Camaro from an automatic to a manual. But I'm working on my e-book right now so it may be a while, hopefully this summer. I'm a manual guy and have been driving a manual transmission as my daily driver since I was 22

The 200r4 was never in the corvette. The th350 with a lock up converter was used in 81. The 4L85E also had straight cut planetary gears for strength.

I had a 1993 Silverado with a 5.7 and 4L60E. The original trans lasted until 118,000 miles and lost 2nd gear, so i had it overhauled. That build lasted until 258,000 miles. Then it developed the notorious 1st to 2nd slam shift due to a worn check ball passage. I sold the trans to a Jeep builder at that point because the truck had bad salt cancer.

I had a similar experience and it was the best 93 z71 gmc I ever had. The engine, front end , axles and body were never touched for 258,000 miles. The frame rust eventually got too bad and had to be sold.

Turbo-Hydramatic 425 (TH425 or THM 425,[1] later 325) was an automatic transmission developed and produced by General Motors. The THM425 was a derivative of the THM400; most parts directly interchange and some others will interchange with minor modifications. The internal parts spin the opposite direction in the THM425; the helical angle of the planetary gears is "reversed" and the one-way clutches freewheel in the opposite direction, for example. The THM425 was developed for the 1966 Oldsmobile Toronado and the 1967 Cadillac Eldorado.

You saw that also. I was wondering if it was an honest mistake or intentional to get comments.

The ONLY reason the OEM's spent the million to develop 8- and 10-speeds was to meet emissions and mileage rules - keep the engine in as narrow an rpm band as possible, then tune it to meet the regs. So the EPA drove up the cost of vehicles, PLUS the cost of repairs (go price a 10-speed rebuild). Compare that to the amount of fuel saved and reduced emissions, both of which are so small as to be insignificant.

Awesome video. Thanks. I would love a 4L85E for my ‘94 C2500 6.5td

5:05 weight is not the only downside of the 4L80, it has a much narrower gear spread. First is 2.48 compared to the 4L60’s 3.059 and it even has a shorter overdrive at 0.75 vs 0.696. There was a company making a wider first and second gear for an 80 but from what I’ve read they were weaker than stock. TCI developed a 6 speed version of the 4L80 with a 2.97 first gear. The 6L80 has a 4.03 first gear. Many things to consider.

A video like this one but on Ford's automatics would be amazing. I know you are more of a chevy channel, but it would still be very cool!

They might refer to the turbo 350 as a three speed powerglide. But it has enough differences that they don't do the same thing a powerglide does. Other than the obvious third gear. And that is the fact that the pump is driven by the input shaft instead of the output shaft. Which means that you can't push start a turbo 350 but you can with the powerglide.

You missed the TH200 intended for 6l and 305 2V engines. Ended up installed in 350 4V Impala and Caprice cars. Of course the increased vehicle weight and engine torque caused a bit of trouble, eventually repaired. Then they added the OD.

When will the LS swap e book be released? Thanks for the great content.

The PCS TCM-2650 allows the later model 6 speeds to be swapped behind earlier EFI & even carbed engines. It may also work with the 8 & 10 speeds, but I'm not sure on those.

FYI The cast iron powerglide was used in my 62 with the blue flame 6 cyl.

4L70E was also used in the Vortec Max trucks

You should do more contect on Hemi engines and Chrysler transmissions.

The 4L85-E Also I believe had Strait cut first gears.

You missed the Turboglide ( I had one in my 1960 348 powered Impala convertible).It was a forerunner to the now popular continuously variable transmission designs. The one-forward-speed automatic with a torque converter was totally different from its two-forward-speed Powerglide sister. You also missed the 3 speed Hydra-matic that I had in My 1960 Oldsmobile Super 88 conv.Please update this so Your video is correct for the younger generations!

I'm an old car guy, I seen a 57 Chevy Belair at a car show with a Turboglide transmission, it was orginal low mileage car with the orginal transmission. It would be very interesting to me to know detail information on this transmission. Thanks!

The infamous GM TH200 metric 3 speed transmission that eventually became the 4 speed TH200R4 that was used in the Grand national... But by then was a much better and stronger transmission than it's 3 speed metric counterpart... Also the TH250 as well... But I'm not as well versed on that one... Then you had the TH350

There is so much aftermarket stuff that could be covered like i remember a 5 and 6 speed 4l80e option but im not sure anyone is even making it still because a 6l90 probably makes more sense

What about the LCT 1000/2000 series ? They lived behind the 8100 Vortec (496) in 2002-2006 GMT800 from class 2 to class 6, and of course, the Duramax.

Not sure I agree with the statement about the 700r4 around 3:30. The 700r4 I don’t think was ever used behind any 454 or in any 2500/3500 series truck. Square body trucks 2500/3500 series got th400 transmissions, then the 1991, still a square body style 3500 series trucks got the 4L80e. Prior to 1991 all dually trucks were th400 trucks. The new body style in 1988 didn’t offer the 454 with the 700r4 either. The only c1500 in the 1988 and up body style to get the 4L80e was the 1991-1993 454SS trucks. Regular 1988-1995 C1500 trucks didn’t get the 4L80e. 2500/3500 1988-1995 trucks got the 4l80e.

I am interested in swapping out the TH400 on my 78 Suburban with a 454 (496). I have heard that the TH700R4 is the best transmission for my K20 Suburban as it is only 2 inches longer and has the same rear cover bolt pattern as the TH400 so I can bolt them up without major conversion issues. Your thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.

Is the Supermatic 4l85e a direct swap in a 4L85e application??

Great video. I have a low mileage 2001 LS Camaro in beautiful condition. It's Procharged and makes over 500/500 to the wheels. I'd like to make more but I'm pretty limited by the tranny. I don't really like the available options I'm aware of. I need at least 4 gears. So we start at the 4l60e(which it has now with some minimal upgrades). A built 4L60 gets really expensive, will still be in danger over 600whp or so, and honestly I'm not that big a fan of it. The 4L80 can be built to handle my power goals but it's darn near 100 pounds heavier, expensive, and doesn't excite me very much. Honestly after that I'm not really sure what goes into making a more modern tranny work in my application. Something like the 6l90 sounds ideal as it is modern and won't need to be built up a ton because it's already made to handle good power. But as I learned in your video the housing dimensions are big and they might have some reliability issues(?). I am at a loss what to do. I can't articulate why I don't like the 4Ls in performance applications but they just don't feel that fun or exciting to me(even with a high stall converter). I would rather not pour all my savings into something I won't be in love with but as of right now it's looking like my only realistic option. I would love to hear your thoughts and possibly a video.

Draw backs for me: 1) th400 is a non lockup. 2) th700-r4 OD is .70 3) th200-4r OD is .68 Another benefit is I keep my 4.56 in the back for launch and heavy loads.

If I have to I can change that later if I want higher. 4l80 looked good but if I swapped in that trans I may as well do a full LS swap. The current plan is a TPI turbo. Plan B is Cummins. Check out the Gear Vendors site. They have units for many different transmissions. Maybe they have a possible combination you haven't considered. I already mentioned 2 GM muscle car transmissions. I know you probably won't want to adapt a Ford but..... C6, toploader, t56. T56 Chevy, Viper, Terminator. Lastly Mopar has great transmissions. The 426 Hemi 4 speed manual or the legendary 727 TorqueFlight. The 727 evolved into the 46re, 46rh, 47rh, 47re, 48re. The modern TorqueFlight Dodge transmissions don't have a great record behind a Cummins. Fix it with upgrades and you're golden. My long bed 4 door 4x4 dually Ram has a 48re with all the goodies. Besides the transmission... the truck is 100% stock. In my case stock is 325HP and 600TQ. Zero issues. It's a big trans for a Camaro, but maybe. Idk. Last idea would be a GM Allison. Again it's a big truck trans, but that may be your huckleberry.

@@robertborgeson1821 I think you answer will be found by playing with gear calculators and ultimately choosing an older trans like I did + GV. Look at the Tractor Pull and Truck Pull world. Those are brutal torque test. My buddy does that in the gasoline class. He whoops butt on the big blocks and even diesels and he's running a 355 SBC th350 combo. The staple is th400 or PG. The diesel classes are usually running their stock trans model but built to the hilt.

So I preordered your LS Swap guide book and I paid with Apple Pay and it was $0.00! Do I pay something later? How much do I have to pay when it comes out? 😅
