What kind of transmission is on a 2002 Chevy 1500?

A 2002 Chevy Silverado 1500 could have several different transmissions, depending on the engine and options chosen. The most common were:

* 4L60E: A four-speed automatic transmission. This was very common.

* 4L80E: A four-speed automatic transmission, typically found in heavier-duty trucks or those with larger engines.

To know for certain what transmission is in a *specific* 2002 Chevy 1500, you need to check:

* The vehicle's identification number (VIN): A VIN decoder (many free ones are available online) can tell you the exact specifications of the truck, including the transmission.

* The build sheet (if available): The original build sheet will specify the transmission.

* The transmission identification tag: This tag is usually located on the transmission itself. You'll likely need to get under the truck to see it.

Looking at the VIN is the easiest and most reliable method.
