GM 4L60E ADAPTERS WITH A 4L60E SHAFT

KIT CONSISTS OF:
No. Qty. Part No. Description

1. 1 51-0405 4L60E / UNIVERSAL ADAPTER

2. 1 300619 RELUCTOR SENSOR

3. 1 716079 22mm PLUG

4. 1 716074 RELUCTOR RING CLAMP RING

5. 4 720028 S.H.C.S. 10mm-1.5 x 35mm

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.

NOTE: On Dana 300 transfer cases, you must use

adapter Kit # 50-6309.

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.

SPECIAL NOTE: The components packaged in this kit have been assembled and machined for specific types of conversions. Modifications to any of the
components will void any possible warranty or return privileges. If you do not fully understand the modifications or changes that will be required to complete
your conversion, we strongly recommend that you contact our sales department for more information. This Instruction Sheet is only to be used for the assembly
of Advance Adapter components. We recommend that a service manual pertaining to your vehicle be obtained for specific torque vales, wiring diagrams and
other related equipment. These manuals are normally available at automotive dealerships and parts stores.

GM 4L60E ADAPTERS WITH A 4L60E SHAFT

You are now ready to bolt your conversion adapter to the 51-0405 kit. NOTE: On a few applications, customers

have not positioned the clamp in the incorrect position which has caused interference with the spud shaft
in the conversion adapter. If you try bolting the conversion adapter up to the 51-0405 and find
interference, the spud shaft may be hitting the clamp on the reluctor.

P/N 300619

.010"-.012" Gap

You will be required to do some modifications when

using this kit with a stock GM TH350 cast iron
Sensor note: The sensor in this kit was changed in
October 2005. This sensor will match up with the GM pigtail
P/N 12162193 or Carquest P/N 57-4502 and NAPA, TSC200.
The old sensor used in earlier kits matches up to GM pigtail
P/N 12085498.

Warning Note:

are typically retaining a stock 2WD transmission output shaft. The measurement given for the proper cut off length on these
adapter kits would normally be taken after the 50-0405 kit is installed onto your 4L60E transmission. Modifying a shaft without
compensating for the 50-0405 kit will require a new output shaft to be installed.

Some adapter kits used in conjunction with this kit require an output shaft to be shortened. These kits

adapter housing. The index hub on this casting

protrudes to far from the bolting surface. This hub

must be shortened approximately .625" to allow for

the proper fit of our adapter kit. The power sleeve will

also require shortening .250" on the transmission

side on this sleeve. Adapters that used a bearing

supported sleeve will be required to replace the

sleeve with our P/N 52-9503B
