I'd like to add a point about the input anf output paletaries on the 4L60 and L60E
Stock, they have four gears set into the planetary rings. (not four speeds.. think like 4 Planets around the sun)
When GM came out with the 4L65 series of trannys, on of the changes was that they put a fifth gear in the gear to be able to handle more torque. The new input and output planetary gear sets are totally interchangable into a a 4L65 tranny body.
It's about $300.00 worth of parts. If you need to rebuild and have eyes towards juicing your motor way up, it's a good idea.
It's in "Shammoo " and has been for about four years now.
