Trans difference

[firemannelson37]

Is there a difference between the v6 and v8 5r55e transmissions or are they the same?

I don't know all the differences, but the 1st difference I can think of would be bellhousings. The 2nd gen V8 and V6 engines have different boltpatterns, so the transmission would have to have a different bellhousing. I'm not certain, but I believe the 5R55E uses and integral (non-removable) bellhousing.

Also, in the 2nd gens (not sure about the 3rd gens), the V8 engine came mated to the 4R70W transmission rather than the 5R55E.

If this is about swapping transmissions from a 5.0 to a 4.0 (or vice-versa), I don't think it's easy.

Ok thanks was just wondering because I was looking for a trans, but the one I found should work fine. Thanks

The bell housing is removable, but the 97 5R55E has an extra sensor unlike the other model years.
