Most transmissions can be built with better clutches and bands to handle more power and torque. With more weight you will essentially have to push the engine harder to get the same acceleration which is applying more torque to the transmission which is shortening the life of it. Keeping the fluid cool will help with the life of the transmission but a performance rebuild that's setup to handle more torque should solve this issues with it.

This goes for the OP but also would be my answer to issues with a 4L60E in a Z71. I have a 2000 Chevy Silverado 1500 and really wish it would have come with a 4L80E. A performance rebuild to handle higher torque would be nice and should work just fine at stock HP levels but when my 4L60E goes out I would really like to replace it with a pull out 4L80E from a low mileage 2500HD/3500HD series truck. The 4L80E has a much higher torque complicity stock than the 4L60E and can hold far more torque in a max performance application.

loking for some help with freshly rebuilt 4l60e???

skip the 4L60E because its crap. Upgrade to a 4l80e, and make sure your converter isn't trashed. 

You can get them pretty cheap from junkyards and they're plentiful.
