'94 4l60e up grades, improvement question

I found a '94 4L60e in a RMS in a scrap yard w/56,000 miles and bought it for a back up, my wagons original trans. has 194,000 miles. Is there anything I should do to it to increase it's durability, and or performance before I put it in my '94 RMW next spring? The wagon is a daily driver except for winter months, and the motor is stock. Any ideas? I've got to keep it cheep, $150.00 range

Thanks, Mike

For 56k, it's probably okay as is. If you are gutsy enough to tear it apart, I'd replace the sunshell with a reinforced one, and replace the 3-4 clutchpack with a High Energy or Raybestos Zpack clutchpack. Those are $35 and $30-50, respectively, and you can replace both of them without special tools. You will need a regular pair of snapring pliers to do the sunshell.

Joel,

Where do I get this stuff? And what about an extra capacity pan, is it worth it?
