The 4L80E is a good transmission to use on the Cadillac 472 and 500, due to the strength of the 4L80E. The 4L80E normally requires a stand alone controller for automatic shifting and pressure controls. With a price tag of a CPU controller at $600.00 and higher, it's not a inexpensive swap. | The 4L80E is a good transmission to use on the Cadillac 472 and 500, due to the strength of the 4L80E.
