Planetary damage? Alright.. i searched as much as I could for this but I couldn't find anything so I'm gonna post.
My car is being picked up tomorrow to go to the tranny shop for a rebuild... but I can't help but worry.
I know the 4L60E isn't a great tranny. I've read a lot of posts on here about people having tranny problems and mine seem the same as everyone elses.
How often do the planetaries die along with the tranny? What are signs of planetary problems?
I'm thinking its just clutches/bands and TC but I know my luck and I'm afraid its going to be something worse.. and I can't afford it!
Thanks.

I want to say that my input drum, low/reverse planet, and reaction planet were like $500 shipped, brand new GM parts. I ordered them through Dal Slabaugh, so they were near GM wholesale.
I'm not trying to get you to buy parts (I don't sell them, so...), but I rebuilt my tranny, and had the input drum blow out 6 months later.
One rebuild is an ouchy, two really f***ing hurt.
