Information transmission part

[Phr0stByte]

I bought what was told to me as a 1994 4l60e automatic transmission. But it wasnt quite the same as my old ones. The shift linkage transmission armature was longer by about a half inch than any of my previous ones. As well as having a electronic something attached too. Curious if anyone can explain what the electronic thing is and why the armature is longer. Ive attached a picture of the electronic component in question. Thank you in advance.

Not from a 1994. That's 1995-up. Not directly compatible with a 1994 truck if that's your goal.

The part you're looking at is the range switch; it combines the park/neutral safety, reverse light switch, and sensor for the gear indicator LED's on the cluster all into one unit. The shaft coming out of the transmission is longer to accommodate this switch as it sits between the transmission case and the shift linkage.

A picture of the part, unbroken, may help shed some light (yours is broken) -

Transfer case question

Im swapping a 1993 k1500 suburban transmission and transfer case into a 1994 k1500 sierra, transmission and transfer case are the same in both? Gearing is only important in the rear axle and front diff? Any info is appreciated, thank you.

Ahhhhhhhh, i see. I spoke to a guy that wanted to rebuild my old one and said “mines a 1995 and yours is older”. Mine is a 94. Makes sense. I was able to take this component off and modify slightly and run it in my pickup. Been good for a few thousand miles already. Thank you for the information.
