This kit was designed to adapt the 4L60E hex bolt pattern to any 700R adapter that Advance Adapters manufactures.
If your 4L60E has a square 4 bolt pattern, you will not need this kit. You already have the proper bolt
pattern for using one of our kits.
In 1996, GM produced a newer version of its electronically
controlled 4L60E. This 4L60E transmission is 21-1/2" long, and
has a removable bellhousing. It has a hex bolt pattern on the
output side of the transmission, similar to a TH400.
The 50-0405E kit was designed to make this style of 4L60E look
just like a 700R. By incorporating a new clamp-on reluctor ring
and sensor on this adapter, a 40 pulse per output shaft revolution
signal is generated for the drivetrain control module. This
adapter comes with a new clamp-on reluctor ring that should be
installed on the new 4L60E output shaft that you have had
installed in your transmission. We have provided two reluctor
sensor locations to choose from in the adapter. The hole not
being used will need to be plugged with the plug provided.
Before tightening this clamp, trial fit the 51-0405 adapter plate
onto the back of the 4L60E transmission. With the adapter set
on the back of the transmission, install the 300619 reluctor
sensor into the adapter casting. The 300619 sensor should line up over the teeth of the reluctor clamp. When you
obtain this location, remove the adapter housing, making sure not to disturb the position of the clamp on the shaft.
With the clamp now exposed, tighten the two set screws on the clamp.
Loctite on these set screws is recommended.
Trial fit the 51-0405 adapter and 300619 sensor back on the transmission and make sure the reluctor ring teeth and
sensor still line up properly.
RTV Blue Silicone should be used to seal the 51-0405 adapter to your 4L60E
transmission. Screw the 300619 sensor completely into the 51-0405 casting. With a feeler gauge, check the gap
between the sensor and the reluctor ring. This gap should be around 0.010" to 0.012". Once 0.010" to 0.012"
clearance is obtained, loc-tite the sensor into position.
NOTE: On Dana 300 transfer cases, you must use
adapter Kit # 50-6309.
