GaPrix Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 I have a 94 GP 3100 4t60e. Is this model year trans able to use a 97 gasket, with the imbedded steel rather than just the cork? I'm guessing there was a slight design change in the trans gaskets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertISaar Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 all 4T60/4T60E and 4T65 can use the same gasket, pans too even. I want to say the steel laminated ones came out earlier than 97, my 95 had one but the rubber was just flowing outwards and couldn't be reused. got a cork one, no problems for ~20K miles, then a slight leak, so I retorqued the pan bolts and it has been happy for ~35K miles afterwards.

RobertISaar Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 hmm..... looking on rockauto now, a new dorman pan has a drain plug on it, but the interchange is only showing 4T60E applications... odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaPrix Posted June 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 Okay, thanks. I wasnt sure as everywhere I looked it only listed the cork ones....edit a drain plug? thats interesting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertISaar Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 okay, so there are 2 different 4T60 pan/gasket designs, 1 4T60E and 1 4T65 that I can see. they're all just slightly different enough from each other to work on first glance, but probably cause issues in the future. I guess just stick with any 4T60E pan/gasket and you'll be okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cough* Not to be pedantic here, but I know there is a difference between a 4T60 aka TH440 and a 4T60-E. I found this out with my '91 Euro way back. Ordered for the car, parts store says 4t60E, but had to go back a year or two to pull up a TH440 for correct pan gasket. That's all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pitzel Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 Quick question here -- is the 4T60 and the 4T60-E filter interchangeable? I accidentially bought a 4T60-E filter and I have a 4T60. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schurkey Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 First Guess: No. A part-number lookup might answer that question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
