The Bravada was Oldsmobile’s luxury version of the Chevy S-10 or GM Jimmy. It is a rear wheel drive/four wheel drive vehicle. Considered a full sized luxury SUV, it is designed for snowy roads and slippery driving conditions, not rugged off roading, If you blew your transmission up or simply need a replacement transmission, call GotTransmissions.com for an Oldsmobile Bravada transmission for sale, for less.
The Bravada was built on a four wheel drive chassis. Many came through with only two wheel drive, for those who did not need the four wheel drive option. The fact is, the entire system is very ordinary and has been used for what seems like forever, thus proving the original design was a good solid one. Based on a light duty truck chassis, the Bravado is up to more work than lets say a front wheel drive equivalent.
Further more, the four wheel drive setups used a standard setup to select four wheel drive, by using a transfer case, which is bolted to the back of the transmission, and splits the power between the front and rear differentials. Some people refer to it as AWD [all wheel drive], but it’s all the same.
Since the Bravada was introduced in 1991, it was available right off the bat with a 4 speed rear wheel drive automatic overdrive transmission. Called the T700R4, an excellent automatic overdrive transmission that set the stage for every other manufacturer to follow. The best automatic overdrive transmission made, by any manufacturer, still a popular unit and one we sell plenty of.
Over the years, as the Bravada changed, so did the transmissions. The key here is that GM always stuck with the newest version of said transmission, which included the 4L60E and the 4L65E Longitudinal transmissions. The ”L” stands for longitudinal, which is like saying it runs the length of the car, north to south. The ”E” was a added digit, standing for the Electronic control system, providing even better shifts and more life.
