I agree with the above. I just rebuilt a 4L60E for a guys younger brother. I ordered a HD rebuild kit with Alto red clutches, and new 3-4 gear 9 clutch pack (vs the oem 5), all seals and bushings, new HD sun shell, Transgo shift kit, all new valve body solenoids, and new torque converter. The parts total was $520. Labor paid to me was $400. He brought me the trans, R&R would have run another $250. You just need to make sure they TOTALLY rebuild it. Most shops will only replace clutches, rubbers, and main bushings. For a low horsepower stocker that's probably fine. I won't do it! It's a total overhaul or nothing. DO NOT put a 700R4/4L60E together without a new HD sun shell.
