Advice
Alright here's the story. My trans is taking a dump, and I have someone at my job that can rebuild it, but it'd be cheaper if I take it out of the car myself. I'm wondering is it worth rebuilding the 4l60E, or should I go for something else? Also meanwhile, if I do go for the rebuild, can a auto trans out of a 3.4 fit/work on my formula. I know i'm gonna be losing considerable gas mileage. But that's my only car and I need to get around somehow. I'm willing to consider any and all possibilities. Thanks.

its obviously cheaper if its alreayd out, BUT figure in your time and do you have the experience to pull it and reinstall it yourself? Also will they also fulyl warranty it since they are not reinstalling it? just think about those things.
As for the 3.4 trans, it will not work, you need a V8 version(bellhousing bolts are different)
IMO it would actually pay to have them do it all, and just be without a car for 3 days at most. It shouldn't take longer than that really, maybe less even. perhaps drop it off late at night say on a sunday, and see if they can have it ready wed morning.. its worth a shot.

Ah, thank you very much. And yeah, I can pull it out and put it back in with the help of my dad. So it's all good.

call up CPT(cahall performance transmissions) and see what it will cost to have them send you their base rebuild with a core charge...then do the trans swap in one day and send the stocker back to them for the core refund

IIRC there were actually 2 different T56s in '93.
