<P> The TH700R4 was renamed `` 4L60 '' ( RPO MD8 ) following the new General Motors naming convention , when the electronic version , 4L60E ( RPO M30 ) , was phased in . This happened in 1993 for trucks , vans , and SUVs , and 1994 for rear wheel drive passenger cars . In 1996 , a bolt - on bell housing was phased in ( along with a six - bolt tailhousing ) for S - 10 Trucks and S - 10 Blazers and beginning in 1998 for all other applications . Beginning in 1998 a new 300mm torque converter with improved higher - capacity internals , 300mm style input shaft , and 300mm style pump was also introduced on models coupled to a Gen III Small Block . The 4L60E is rated to handle up to 360 ft lbf ( 488 N m ) of torque . It weighs 133 pounds without transmission fluid . </P>
