* 4L60E: This 4-speed automatic was very common in the 1996 Silverado 1500.
* 700R4: This is a 4-speed automatic, though less likely than the 4L60E in a '96. It may be found in some lower-spec models.
* Manual Transmissions: Various manual transmissions were available, but less common than automatics. To know for sure, you'd need to check the vehicle's documentation or the data plate.
To find out definitively which transmission *your* specific 1996 Chevy Silverado 1500 has:
1. Check the VIN: The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) will contain information about the vehicle's specifications, including the transmission. You can decode this VIN using online VIN decoders or by contacting a Chevy dealer.
2. Look under the hood: The transmission type is often stamped on a tag affixed to the transmission itself. Be cautious and avoid any moving parts.
3. Check your owner's manual: If you still have the original owner's manual, it will specify the transmission type.
Without more information about your specific truck, it's impossible to say for certain.
