What transmission goes with a 5.7 leter 1987 Chevy Silverado?

A 1987 Chevy Silverado with a 5.7L engine (a small-block V8) could have come with several different transmissions. The most common were:

* TH700R4: This was a very common 3-speed automatic overdrive transmission. This is probably the *most likely* candidate.

* SM465: This was a 4-speed manual transmission.

* TH350: A 3-speed automatic, less common than the TH700R4 in that year, but possible.

To know for *certain* which transmission was in *your* specific truck, you'd need to:

* Check the VIN: Decoding the VIN can sometimes reveal transmission information.

* Look at the transmission itself: The transmission case will have identifying numbers stamped on it.

* Check the build sheet (if available): If you have the original build sheet for the truck, it will definitively state the transmission type.

The most practical approach is to check the transmission case itself for identification numbers.
