Will a escalade 6l80e fit to my Corvette LS2 engine? what do I need? Hee guys,
I have a '06 Corvette LS2 engine with a E38 ECM.
Will this trans mission below fit my engine and what do I need to do to make it work?
- 2007 Cadillac Escalade ESV 6.2L AWD (the corresponding engine was a 6.2L V8) This is a 6L80 series transmission.
Or should I better go and find me a desent 4L65e?

Good point , I have seen a few without the AWD transfer case, I thought I might bolt up an GTO tailshaft or something...
What would it take to make it work?
How come the 6L80E from a vette is very expensive and these 6L80E from escalades? What is the difference?
or is a 4L65e still a better option for my LS2?

Vette trans is probably higher $$ because it is from a Vette. It bolts up to a transaxle at the rear and does not run a regular convertor housing and there is the tube between the engine and rear as mentioned.
(its like a comparison between the LS2 from the Vette, and the L76 from the G8. The LS2 is more in demand and costs more, its a Corvette motor after all
but the L76 is a better engine. Better L92/LS3 heads and intake, with an LS2 block/crank/rods/pistons.)Personally IMHO the A6 is a great trans. The right 6L80 or 6L90 from a 2WD will truck bolt up to your LS2 and run with the right ECM and harness setup.
What is it going in?

Thanks for your advice guys!
I have a '06 Corvette LS2 engine (58X reluctor)
Right now I have a '05 corvette transmission with a gto belhousing and tailshaft, but I am not to sure about this setup.
I was leaning towards a 4L65E, but now I understand a 6L80E from a 2WD would be a good option to...
What do you mean with the right ECM and harness setup?
Thanks

Cool. Go for it!
Have you been thru this thread:

Not sure whether the Gen II has a larger tunnel or not, maybe you will be lucky and the tunnel can "absorb" a little more trans ?

It does and will. You do have to be careful that the software in both match. It would be best to use the same year for both. So if you had a 2010 transmission it would be safe to use a 2010 program in the E38. I would not use a 2007 6L80 and a 2012 E38 program. That will not work. However you can upload new software to match.
