GM 4L60E transmissions are rated up to 450 horsepower and 425 ft/lb torque, and can be custom built by Gearstar. They are designed for longitudinal engine configurations, and include 4 forward gears and 1 reverse gear.
#1995 4L60E TRANSMISSION SERIES#

Five-pinion front and rear planetaries, along with an additional 3/4 clutch allowing 7 clutches in the input housing and induction hardened input shaft assembly, were improved to withstand up to 380 ft⋅lb (520 N⋅m) of torque.

The TH700R4 was renamed "4L60" ( RPO MD8) following the new General Motors naming convention when the electronic version, 4L60E (RPO M30), was phased in as the 4L60 was being phased out. 4L65E/4L70E uses a 300mm input shaft and converter designed for LS applications only. 4L60E's uses a 298mm input shaft for non LS and a 300mm input shaft for LS applications. They also have different input shafts and torque converters. The 4L65E/70E uses a 7" depth bell and 7 bolts. 4L60E uses a 6.5" depth bell with 6 bolts for non gen 3 LS applications and a 7" depth bell with 7 bolts for LS applications. The 4L65E shares the same exterior parts but have stronger internals such as 5 pinion planets compared to 4 in the 4L60E. The two transmissions cannot be differentiated from the outside. The 4L60E and 4L65E are built at Toledo Transmission in Toledo, Ohio and have also been built at Romulus Transmission in Romulus, Michigan and Ramos Arizpe, Mexico. The 4L60E is the electronically commanded evolution of the Turbo-Hydramatic 700R4, originally produced in 1982.

Designed for longitudinal engine configurations, the series includes 4 forward gears and 1 reverse gear. The 4L60E (and similar 4L65E) is a series of automatic transmissions from General Motors. 4-speed longitudinal automatic transmission
