Converter/Trans???
I have been on here before complaining about sloppy lockup on my 98 T/A a couple months ago..Anyway what I had bought was a new(race)trans & 4000 stall converter, thing blows out the rear planitary gears after 1400 miles..Trans shop tells me the only thing that blows rear planitary gears is if the converter is not locking, that fluid only gets to these gears when the converter is locked..True, False? I only drove about 160 miles with the lockup problem & got it "fixed" by raising the misfire codes, then the sloppy lockup occured about 800 miles later..There are threads that I posted on this & some of you might remember..Anyways, like I thought, converter Co. blames the trans shop & trans shop blames Converter Co. even though when cut open, the converter looks brand new...So That leaves me with paying about $500 more on top of $2600 I already paid for the trans..Sucks 4 me..here are the other threads

The converter is not in lock up all the time, when it is cold ,hot or under a load or even when you a coast down a hill there is no lock up command, so that does not sound like the issue or all of the 4l60-e type of transmissions would be dead in normal driving or at the track and you would see this failure from every one with a lock up cycle issue
some customers even by pass the lock-up feature and still run with the lock up converter installed.
