4T60E
The E means electronic. For example, the 3T40 (notice no E) is the 3 speed hydraulic transmission. The number after T is the torque rating, the number before the T is the number of speeds (forward gears).
The transmission will bolt up, and I think the mounting is the same, just a different torque rating. He'll have to use the GA axles though...

According to Wikipedia the grand am never came with a 4T60E...

I currently have a 99 grand am engine (2.4L) and tranny sitting in my garage, waiting to be dropped into my 98 cavalier Z24 beater car (also a 2.4L but with spun bearing) I just got thinking about the trannys... and came on here to see if they were the same, or close or at least interchangeable.
I know the Z24's had a 4speed auto... and i thought the GA did too (and now i have confirmed that).... But not certain the exact model of tranny in the Z24.
I know the mounts are different between the 2... but i should just be able to use the Z24 mounts and bolt them up to the GA engine and tranny right?
and if they are both "E" transmissions they should drop in and plug up right? I assume there would be no linkage so to speak, it would just be electrical harnesses right? Do/did either car have a tranny cooler or anything i will need to worry about?
Anything i should do to the engine/tranny now while it is out of the car before i swap them? like any maintainence or service that is lots easier out of the car? (the "new" parts have close to 100k miles on them but supposedly ran great with no noises leaks or problems)
