What transmission is in 1997 Chevy truck?

A 1997 Chevy truck could have several different transmissions, depending on the engine, body style (pickup, Suburban, etc.), and options selected. The most common transmissions were:

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

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

* NV3500: A five-speed manual transmission.

* SM465: A four-speed manual transmission (less common in '97).

To know for sure what transmission is in *your* 1997 Chevy truck, you need to check:

* The vehicle's identification number (VIN): A VIN decoder can tell you the transmission code.

* The sticker on the driver's side doorjamb: This often lists the options and may include transmission information.

* The transmission itself: Look for a tag on the transmission case.

Without more specific information about your truck, it's impossible to say definitively which transmission it has.
