I work at a Caddy dealer, and can't get anywhere with this one.........

I need to find out if anyone can modify a 4L60E to not require computer controls. I have to use late model, because of the removable bellhousing, otherwise I'd just get a 700R4.

I've got a 2.2L 4 cyl. for my daughter's Nash Metro project, and it has a narrow bellhousing pattern.

I've called Hughes, they can't do it. Our tranny guys at work have different opinions and don't know........

Worse comes to worse, I'll just run fully computerized OBD2 driveline, but carbs are cooler!

The 4L60E is controlled by electronics, no way that I know of to convert them since the valves are operated by solenoids.

TCI makes a computer to run it for you, but it isn't cheap. http://tciauto.com/electronics/index.htm
Summit sells them.

This is from Novak
Earlier engines can be joined to the 4L60-E by use of a GM Controller, #12497316. Carbureted engines will require a Throttle Postion Sensor.

Those are both good ideas, I'll check them out! If Im gonna spend $$$$ for an aftermarket box, I may as well scrounge up more GM factory PCM/TCM parts and go stock. I'm kinda hoping that the cases are similar, and I can just swap valve bodies and drill/add a TV cable, and fill the big wiring hole.
I do a fair amount of machine work here at the house, so Im up for most anything! eek
Thanks! wink

Snag a wrecked S10(everywhere around here) & use the PCM for the tranny & use injection on the engine. Brian
