Why not pull the transmission out and replace it with a 4L80E? I believe they are the same size and interchangeable and the 80E is much stronger. Would save you the cost of a rebuild.

I figured there was at least one thing. That said, I think it would be a better rout unless OP can find a low miles 60E at a good price for a direct swap. Should be able to as they are darn near everywhere.

$1200 to rebuild a trans that's cheep, I've never seen anything below $2000, On average at least for me it's been around $2400
I pulled out my 4L60E transmission last year and got a replacement from A-OK Transmission and Auto Salvage in Eunice for $700 (with warranty). Wouldn't hurt to give them a call and see what they've got on hand.

Typical costs for a trans rebuild in the Alexandria area at the time was $2600 for the full service pull/rebuild/reinstall or $1800 for me to pull/reinstall and the shop to just do the rebuild. I just pulled my trans and took it with me to A-OK, handed them the old one and picked up the new one. They'll also just hold your check for a core charge then return your check when you bring back the old trans. These guys are impressive, got about 60 acres of vehicles for parts and also have the Trans shop.
I considered the 4L80E swap and did a lot of research. It is not a direct swap, requires lots more modifications than I was willing to attempt.
