Saw an ad on CL this morning--a guy is parting out a 1992 K5,and wll sell the 700R4 and T-case for 100 bucks,if "you pull it"....The price is right,but I'm not sure if a 1992 HAS a 700R4,I thought a 4L60E or 4L80E would be in a truck built in 1992??...

I need a 700R4 for my diesel '85 Suburban,and 100 bucks is about all I can spend on it..but I dont want to buy a tranny I cant use--bad enough this one is from a gas engined truck and I'll probably have to use my old converter & govenor,it also needs to have a TV cable,not an electrically controlled one..

Chances are even if this tranny would work,I wont be able to get it--I have to have cataract sugery this thursday,so I dont feel much like crawling under a truck for the next two days,I have to prep for the surgery with eye drops the next two days...certainly dont want dirt in my eyes --it might even be sold already,being that cheap too--but I'd like to know the years I can use anyway,in case I run across any others...

FIGURES it would show up THIS week,in a town 10 miles away from mine!..:doah:
 
Provided it's actually a 1992 then it is a 4L60...which is just a TH700R4 with a name change.

1993 was when the 4L60E started.

My '92 Blazer K1500 had a 700R4 with a TV cable and I had troubles a few times when places tried to sell me 4L60E specific transmission related parts.
