Well the 4L60E trans in my '99 Silverado finally gave up last week just shy of 262,000 miles. Having one built to replace it. Getting the improved 3-4 shift solenoids and upgraded clutch packs. With new T/C the all in price is $950.00, with a 36 month 36000 mile warranty. Other than the usual headaches associated with this type of repair, is there anything I should be on the lookout for? It's going to be a real fun job in the driveway with temps in the mid 90's and heat index approaching 110. Luckily I have some good friends to lend a hand, but the beer bill might be expensive! All necessary tools are at hand (ramps, jack stands, trans jack, air tools, compressor, etc.) to make a PITA job go as smoothly as possible. The truck is in real good shape body wise having been a southern truck its whole life, otherwise I would sell it or scrap it. The 5.3L motor is original and holds 50 lbs oil pressure at idle, runs like a sewing machine and has plenty of power, so I don't want to get rid of it considering the price of new and newer used trucks these days. Wish me luck and a quick turn around on this task. It's not going to be as easy as it was when I was in my 20's and 30's since I am in my 60's now, but I won't let it get the best of me if I can help it!!
