Get one from GM Goodwrench. Can't go wrong. Two year, 36k mile warranty AND they'll pay the labour to remove & replace under warranty as well.

Post up in the "Wanted" section if you are looking for a used tranny and/or rear axle.

well petey if you offering to pay then sure. but i just need something
to get this poor van driving again...a used tranny fluid and a tranny line flush is already looking like too much...

and dean that was my next step.... i guess 4l60e's are rare around here...4 junkyards dont have one...i find it hard to believe

it was actualy my axle that went....im shocked...but in gear with the ebrake on
the driveshaft spins. so what other vehicle can i pull the axle from for a direct bolt in
we have the 7.5 10 bolt rear end am i correct? what about the spring perch spacing?

sounds like you chewed a pinion/ring up. with the axle you need an Astro or Safari van axle, they are unique. When it comes to the ratio, you can either try to find the same one or change ratios at this point. GU6 is 3.42, GU5 is 3.23, GU4 is 3.08, GT4 is 3.73 and GT5 is 4.11. Numerically higher is better for towing and acceleration and numerically lower is slightly better for highway MPG.

thanks for the info...boy im gonna miss my g80...mayb i'll rebuild it and put it back in at a later date

EDIT:well i guess an axle is easier to find then a tranny..found 4 in 5 min lol
a local yard has an axle from a 98 with 3.73 for 450...
and im waiting for a call back from another yard
my day is getting better
