94 to 99 Trans Swap

The transmission in my 1999 Tahoe has gone south, I do have a 1994 LT1 police wagon, with a good one. What are the chances that I could use the 1994 in the 1999? I intend to also put this question up on the GM forum

Re: 94 to 99 Trans Swap

The Tahoe has an LSX engine right? The bellhousing depth is different which is a MUCH bigger problem than the PWM differences which would also pose a problem. If those still had a gen1 based motor then it would be a bit easier to make work but still not a perfect dropin.

If you have a 1A2 wagon I think you could find a buyer and if it is vaguely OK shape that should pay for a proper tranny in the truck.

Re: 94 to 99 Trans Swap

Which begs the question, "Why not just repair the '99 transmission?"

Outside of the little extra work in removing the transfer case, it's really a straightforward R&R, and rebuild between the two. Other than the differences in the bell pattern, it should be a straight 4L60-E.

And, just for curiosity, what exactly is the definition of "Gone South" in this case? It may be repairable with only removing the trans oil pan, in the vehicle.
