Will transmission from 1999 Chevy Tahoe fit 1996 Silverado?

It's unlikely a 1999 Chevy Tahoe transmission will fit a 1996 Chevy Silverado without significant modifications, if at all. While both are GM trucks, there were changes in transmissions and drivetrain components between those model years. The bolt patterns, bellhousing, output shaft, and even the internal components might be different.

To be certain, you need to:

* Identify the exact transmission in both vehicles: The model number (e.g., 4L60E, 4L80E) is crucial. Look for it on a tag on the transmission itself.

* Compare transmission specifications: Once you have the model numbers, research the specifications of both transmissions online. Look for differences in physical dimensions, bolt patterns, and input/output shaft configurations.

Even if the model numbers appear similar, subtle differences can prevent a direct swap. It's best to consult a transmission specialist or a mechanic experienced with these vehicles before attempting this swap. A simple mismatch could lead to serious drivetrain damage.
