You can use the parts from your other trans. Take the driven gear also. Look in the hole & see if you have the same color drive gear on the shaft, if not you will need to remove the tailshaft housing & switch it also...really would be easier to buy a new one the right color. Lorne

the 4l60's plug is bigger but thats one the one with the round plug not the square, thats why i didn't recognize it. i thought even with the square plug the plug is in the left side not the right?

Irish, Do not confuse the 4L60 with the 4L60E. The non-electronic 4L60's have the same square plug (in his picture) for the lock-up, uses a TV cable & a govenor. The 4L60 is just a improved/updated 700R4. The 4L60E is a fully electronic transmission, using a computer for varying the pressure/shift features & lock-up. Hope this clears it up, Lorne

Just replace the vss with your speedo gears. You can use the existing tailshaft.

Pull the gear set out of the one with a cable (along with the shaft gear and swap it over.)

It is a plastic gear slid on the output shaft.  It is the stuff pictured in this article:
