The 4 meant 4 forward gears. The L meant it was a longitudinally mounted trans, aka rear wheel/4 wheel drive. The last two 2 numbers designated the duty rating, or strength of the trans. The higher the number the stronger the trans.
So GM called the 700 a TH700-R4 until 1990. GM then called them 4L60s. So technically the 91-93 units never were called TH700-R4, even though the are the same transmission.
On a side note, nearly all auto manufacturers have done the same thing. All in the early to mid 90s too.

FINALLY someone else that understands...man. I always get so much crap from people..."no jackass my third gen has a 700r4 not a 4L60...those are the ones that the fourth gens have...." I get that all the time.....

I didn't say in all ways....just in several ways.
