I am all too familiar with the 4L65-E transmission. This is the same basic tranny that GM uses for all rear-wheel-drive cars and light to medium duty trucks.

It is also the same tranny that was in my wife's 2001 Chevy Astro minivan that we recently traded in on her new Xterra. The same tranny that blew a sun shell at 77k miles and required a $1250 rebuild (the dealer wanted nearly $2500).

I invite the curious reader to Google 4L65E and "Sun Shell". Have fun! You'll find an amazing number of GM Service Bulletins on this issue.
