Transmission code

I am looking for a transmission for my 96 LaSabe Limited. It is a 4T60E. I have looked around and am being asked with the ratio is. I have no idea where to find that.

One yard told me to look on the spare tire cover in the truck it will show a F17, or FW2. Can anyone translate those numbers to the ratio? Don't have the money for a rebuild so I must go the used route.

TIA

You don't need the ratio - what you need is exactly what that yard told you. You need the code from the tag. Just go look for the F17 or the FW2 and inform the salvage yard of that.

For what it's worth, F17 is a 2.84:1 ratio, and FW2 is 3.06:1.

You can do a google search for RPO codes and you'll find a wealth of information about the tag.

Thanks Mike. I tried to find that on Google but did not put in RPO.

Now I wonder what difference it would make if I put in the wrong ratio.

Depending on which way you went, either better or worse gas mileage, either better or worse acceleration - all the standard stuff that goes with changing ratios.

I have the F17 at 2.84:1 ratio.

The Stoics lay down that all those who are not at the high degree of wisdom are equally foolish and vicious, as those who are two inches under water.
