The 4L80-E (and similar 4L85-E) was a series of automatic transmissions from General Motors. Designed for longitudinal engine configurations, the series included 4 forward gears. It was an evolution of the Turbo-Hydramatic 400, first produced in October, 1963. 4L80-Es were optioned only in Chevrolet/GMC pickups, vans, and commercial vehicles, and the Hummer H1. It was also adopted by Rolls Royce in 1991 and modified, after extensive testing, and used initially in the Bentley Continental R, and subsequently other Rolls Royce and Bentley vehicles.
The 4L80 and 4L85 were built at Willow Run Transmission in Ypsilanti, Michigan.

4L80-E
The 4L80-E (RPO MT1) is able to handle engines with up to 440 ft·lbf (597 N·m) of torque. Final drive ratios include 3.42, 3.73, and 4.10.
The 4L80-E was rated to max GVWR of 18,000 (Axle and vehicle dependent)
The 4L80-E uses 2 shift solenoids, initially called Shift Solenoid A & Shift Solenoid B, later changed to comply with OBD II (On Board Diagnostics revision 2) regulations to 1-2 Shift Solenoid & 2-3 Shift solenoid. By activating and deactivating the solenoids in a predetermined pattern by the PCM, 4 distinct gear ratios can be achieved. The shift solenoid pattern, also sometimes referred to as solenoid firing order, is as follows;

Note: These transmissions have issues with early style 12 pin harnesses in which transmission fluid leaks around the harness and shorts the pinouts causing transmission to go into "limp mode" This issue can be easily rectified by simply cleaning the plug.
