It was my first on a 4l60e, but I am a army mech so I have done a good few th400s and 4l80es its pretty simple you just turn it back and forth while pushing in until it seats. I put the stock one in about 4 times.

 

is that where chevrolet all the way works? what do you guys think I should do about the converter?

 

sell it to someone it could help and get yours from circle D. I got mine to the door for $406. not bad at all i think...

 

hey man, i have a TBSS Stall its brand new just the box got wet thanks to the damn UPS people.
i paid 250 shipped, id like to get that.
pm if ya want it, im going with a circle D 3200

 

the TBSS converter will not raise the stall speed on a 5.3 truck.

Quick rundown on 4L60E converters.

2 versions, typically called the LT and LS style.

LT - 5.9" tall -fits 700R4 and early 4L60e's

LS - 6.5" tall - fits LS style engines. Late 4.3,4.8,5.3,6.0

The 5.3 and 6.0 take the same converter - TMBX 12"

The 4.3 and 4.8 are the same - TLBX 12"

The TBSS takes a TMBX, so same as a regular 5.3 and 6.0

The I6 4.2 TB takes a VJCX - 11" converter - this is what I start with on my 11"

Hope this helps.

hmmmm, i have a 4.8 and my TC came from another member that had it in his 5.3.....

 

The 4.8 and 5.3 converter will interchange. But might not be the same stall.
The TMBX is a 12" low stall ~1600. The TLBX is a 12" high stall ~2000.

No idea though what converter he was running though.
