How to Confirm Which Transmission You Have
- Find your model, year and engine in the table above.
- Check the transmission ID tag or stamp on the case, usually on the side or near the pan.
- Use your VIN with a decoder or ask a dealer parts counter, especially when ordering internal parts.
- For 4L60E and 4L30E units, the GM part numbers and tag codes are also useful when sourcing parts.
