However, there's a small chance it could have a different transmission, though extremely rare for that specific combination. To be absolutely certain, you need to:
* Check the ID tag on the transmission itself. This tag will have the transmission's model number stamped on it. The tag is usually located on the driver's side of the transmission, near the bellhousing.
* Check your vehicle's owner's manual. If you have the original owner's manual, it should list the transmission type.
* Check the VIN decoder. While it might not specify the exact transmission model, a VIN decoder can tell you the transmission type (automatic vs. manual) and other relevant options which can help narrow it down.
The internal parts that might change when you rebuild or replace a 4L60E transmission (or any automatic transmission) are numerous and include:
* Clutch packs: These wear down over time and may need replacement.
* Friction discs: Similar to clutch packs, these transfer power and also wear.
* Steel plates: These are integral to the clutch packs.
* Bands: These are used for specific gear selections.
* Seals and gaskets: These prevent leaks.
* Solenoids: These are electrically operated valves that control fluid flow.
* Valve body: The valve body controls the hydraulic flow within the transmission.
* Planetary gears: These gear sets are within the transmission case itself.
* Pump: The pump circulates transmission fluid.
A complete rebuild could involve replacing any or all of these components, depending on the condition of the transmission. It's best to consult a transmission specialist or shop to determine the exact repair needed.
