Tranny Question

[M-I-A]

Hey guys hows it going?

Just a quick question. I have a 1997 Buick Century Custom

Now which tranny do I got? 4T60E?

Thanks

4T65E i belive

[Regal_GS_1989]

Nope. 4T60-E is what you got in there

[Crazy K]

Actually it could be a 4t60-e or a 4t65-E
Both trannies were availible according to what I have found... BUT the bottom pan of the tranny most likely will tell you.

Huh. I never knew that the 4T65-E was mated to the 3100 in 97 The pan on our 97 lumina is just blank, so i dunno what is in it now. I always figured it was a 60. THANKS ALOT!!!

[Crazy K]

the lumina being a red-headed-step-child probably got the 4t60-e.
The 97 century is a gen 2 W, and a twin of the 97+ regal.

The only cars that got the 4T65-E in 97 are L67 equipped cars.

Well alot of people dont seem to be sure , Here and another forum , but most believe its the 4T65E. So this Saturday I will check it out.

Thanks guys

He's exactly right. You have the 4T60e.

Today I finally got off my butt and on the ground to check for numbers. I didnt find any so I just got the VIN # and called the stealership.
Turns out I got the 4T60E. I asked him which if any years got the 65E and he said the same years. I asked whats the differnece and why they would put different trannys in the same years. And of course he didnt know.

If this guy is right about 2 diff trannys in the same year. What would be the purpose and whats the difference on the two.

Thanks

4t65e will be a heavier duty tranny. I'm not sure how different it is, but I think It's virtually identical, except for a few heavier duty internal parts, from info I read... It is capable of more torque and such.
The people above seem to be correct, the 3100 motors would apparently be linked to the 4t60e, but the more powervul 3800 (w or w/o supercharger, I think) would be linked to the 4t65-e

I am pretty sure that car was only available with the 4t60e, their computer is probably wrong. However, if it was available with the 65, its probably for one with the towing package...thats the only thing I can think of.

According to Rebuilt-Auto-Transmissions Dot Com, the "Sentry" got the 60-E through 99. ...

[Prospeeder]
