At just over 87K miles, the 4L60E in my 07 Trailblazer daily driver is in need to replacing or rebuilding. Stock the transmission was marginal at best behind the 4.2L I-6 in my opinion and with the amount of towing I've done has accelerated the need for transmission work. I know that many of you here are not fans of the GMT360 platform, I will say that the later examples had some refinements that the earlier ones lacked. Mine's quiet, comfortable, easy to manage in traffic and returns decent fuel economy for a full framed 4x4 that weighs 4500 lbs.
Anyhow, top on my list is a Gearstar Level 2 that should offer durability increases sufficient for my stock tuned engine (for now) and a performance tune (someday) With a mild lift to offer better ground clearance with bigger tires in the future. I'm going to call Gearstar this week and see what they recommend, and what will need done about my Atlas family bellhousing.
For now, I'm daily driving my Olds wagon, just glad I never need to parallel park!
