ToroToro Posted October 25, 2005 Report Posted October 25, 2005 Contrary to what alldata says, partsamerica lists the 4T60E as 93 and up on the 3800, 92 and up for the 3.4, and 93 and up for the 3.1. I believe in 91, only the top end cars got the 4T60E. Quote
ToroToro Posted October 25, 2005 Report Posted October 25, 2005 i thought regals got a 4t60hd? Dont think so. None of the other 3800 cars got the 4T60HD. The HD was more for the Cadillac 4.9 and such. Quote
badassoldspower Posted October 25, 2005 Report Posted October 25, 2005 can the 4t60 e hold up to a 3800 for an extended amount of time? Quote
ToroToro Posted October 25, 2005 Report Posted October 25, 2005 Yeah. My Toro's 4T60E was still good at 120K miles. I beat the shit out of that car too. Quote
badassoldspower Posted October 25, 2005 Report Posted October 25, 2005 dang you must have maintained it well then Quote
ToroToro Posted October 25, 2005 Report Posted October 25, 2005 No, not really. The only tranny fluid change I did in the 4 years I had it was when the fucking cooler line popped off and emptied the tranny. ( stranded me too ) Regardless of what some people here say, the 4T60E is not that bad a tranny, especially when you compare it to Ford's of the same era. Quote
badassoldspower Posted October 25, 2005 Report Posted October 25, 2005 what the ones that have the shifting that never seems to occur? Quote
stockgp Posted October 25, 2005 Report Posted October 25, 2005 don't say that. i'm stuck with a 60e until i can find the rest of the parts do do the 5 speed swap Quote
ToroToro Posted October 25, 2005 Report Posted October 25, 2005 Buy that yucky GP on eBay and you'll have all parts to do it. Quote
stockgp Posted October 25, 2005 Report Posted October 25, 2005 if it was closer i probably would. i don't have too much extra cash to throw around renting a truck and dolly to tow it home with :bawl: Quote
Psych0matt Posted October 25, 2005 Report Posted October 25, 2005 (so not to change the subject but I have that as my wallpaper now :oops: ) Quote
stockgp Posted October 25, 2005 Report Posted October 25, 2005 what does it matter? we've changed the subject a few times now. and what's your wallpaper, the tranny pan? Quote
Psych0matt Posted October 25, 2005 Report Posted October 25, 2005 yeah, i thought it was cool looking 8) Quote
DaveFromColorado Posted October 25, 2005 Report Posted October 25, 2005 in '91 the 4T60E was used with the DOHC engines. the biggest difference between the 440T4 and the 4t60E is in the Valve boddies, where as the 4T60/4T60-E depends on vacuum and or electronic connections to control the shifting cycles on the transmission, the 440T4 will use a manual detent (kickdown) cable attached to the throtle body of the engine. or at least that's how I understood it. --Dave.

Prospeeder Posted October 25, 2005 Report Posted October 25, 2005 I dont htink the 4T60's being bad tranies at all, alot of you guys have over 100k and 15 years into one and fords, especially taraus's dont last even 50k w/o isssues unless ur super easy and replace the fluid constantly, or dodges of that time, they wernt the best on automatics Quote
digitaloutsider Posted October 25, 2005 Report Posted October 25, 2005 Wow, a lot of misinformation in this thread. Dave got some of it covered. 440T4: 1988-1990. 4T60 (Vacuum controlled; renamed 440T4): 1991-1992 3.1 and 3800. 4T60-E: 1991+ 3.4, 1993+ 3.1, 1993+ 3800 Quote
1990lumina Posted October 25, 2005 Author Report Posted October 25, 2005 K aweosme, thanks guys!! And if you want a bigger picture of that...PM or e-mai laddress, I have a larger version but it's 2.5mb Quote
digitaloutsider Posted October 25, 2005 Report Posted October 25, 2005 Oh yeah, I was reading the second page. FWIW, the only engine that got the 4T60e-HD was the Series I L67 from 1992-1995, and then the Series II L67 in 1996. Quote
stockgp Posted October 25, 2005 Report Posted October 25, 2005 a ha. i knew there was some w that got it. at least i was right about that Quote
ToroToro Posted October 25, 2005 Report Posted October 25, 2005 No W got the 4T60E HD, or the 4T60 HD either... :? Quote
TeeJay3800 Posted October 25, 2005 Report Posted October 25, 2005 Uhhh why? The 440T4 became the 4T60 in 1991. That's all. The 440T4 was renamed the 4T60 in 1990. My 1990 window sticker says my car is equipped with a "4T60 with overdrive" transmission. Also, the Turbo 3.1 got the 4T60-HD. Quote
Prospeeder Posted October 25, 2005 Report Posted October 25, 2005 yea, the 3.1 Turbo got the 4T60-HD Quote
GP1138 Posted October 25, 2005 Report Posted October 25, 2005 No, the 4T60E came out when the 3.4 DOHC came out, in 1991. Quote

My 1990 window sticker says my car is equipped with a "4T60 with overdrive" transmission. Also, the Turbo 3.1 got the 4T60-HD. Strange. My GP one said "440T4". Then again, it was a VERY early 1990. No W-body ever got the 4T60e-HD. The 4T60e started in 1991 with the LQ1. Quote
