on all newer cars that i drive that are automatics, when you let off the gas, the rpm's go down and it kicks into what seems like neutral. my friend has a 93 z28 and when he lets off the gas, it stays in OD and will not go into neutral. whats up with that?

 

both 93s i owned do that. if u tap the brakes it doesnt do the compression slowdown so much. i think the trany is not a true od but more of a 4 sp.

 

lol my friend loves it because you can slow down from 60 to 45 in about 8 seconds when he lets off the throttle.

 

'93 is the only 4th gen without electronic control on the trans.

 

so on the 93 its more of a 700R4 than a 4L60E, correct?? im still trying to learn all the transmissions, so excuse me if im wrong

 

Pretty much.

 

It's called a 4L60 (without the E), which is just an updated name for the 700R4.

 

so the name changed, but theres no real differance from there??

 

You got it. Name changed, but that's it.

 

What about power handling? 700R4's were only good to @ 300hp factory. Since the LT1's have almost that much stock, what hp is a stock 4L60 good for?
