Will a TH475 Transmission fit my 1989 Chevrolet suburban V1500 4x4?

Hey y’all how y’all doing I’m new here but I burnt my 700R4 on my 89’ Suburban 4x4 and need to find a replacement and I had my friend who has bunch of suburbans say he has a TH475 with 8k miles on in and replaced filters and the works but I don’t know if it will fit. I wanna know if it will be a direct bolt on Because this is for my daily driver too and right now I’m stuck in first and it sucks not being able to go past 35 mph :(
So if anyone can tell me anything I’d really appreciate it
Thanks y’all

The short answer is no. The TH475, a 3 speed trans from a medium duty, most likely has bolt on drive shaft yoke for a rear drive truck. Can be changed to a slip yoke but you need a trans that will mate to your transfer case.

Since you have a 700R4, this becomes a much more expensive swap.

Some TH475's will have an E-brake bolted to the tail shaft. The TH475 also has straight cut planetary gears instead of helical cut gears like a TH400. The reason for this is more in-depth, but the result is louder gears.
