Does a 1993 Chevy Suburban transmission fit in 1996 Suburban?

It's *possible*, but not guaranteed. The fit depends heavily on the specific transmission type in both vehicles. 1993 and 1996 Suburban transmissions aren't directly interchangeable across the board. You need to know the exact transmission codes (e.g., 4L60E, 700R4) for both vehicles. Even with the same transmission code, there might be subtle differences in the year that could create compatibility issues.

Before attempting the swap:

* Identify the transmission codes: This information is usually found on a tag on the transmission itself, or in the vehicle's documentation.

* Check for differences: Even if the codes match, compare details like bellhousing bolt patterns, output shaft length, and any electronic connectors.

* Consult a repair manual: A repair manual specific to the 1993 and 1996 Suburban models will provide detailed information on transmission compatibility.

In short, while it *might* work, you need to do your due diligence to verify compatibility before undertaking the swap. A simple code match isn't sufficient. A mismatch could lead to serious mechanical problems or even damage to the vehicle.
