Are 4R70W and 4R75W interchange?
Also, the 4R70W transmissions have a different ring gear than the 4R70E and 4R75 transmissions do. The different ring gear is the only roadblock to swapping a 4R75 into an older 4R70W equipped vehicle. That can whack your shift schedule on any vehicle that had the other ring gear and also mess up the speedo on some.
Is the 4R70W computer controlled?
