Tranny blanket for 4L60E Anyone running one with a 4L60E? I've heard they don't fit without moddifying the firewall....
I don't want to buy one only to find out that it doesn't fit

If you run a blanket full time on a daily driver, make sure you have a Trans temp gauge mounted to monitor temps properly. The blanket does reduce the airflow over the trans which means slightly higher temps in some cases depending on your converter choice. I was seeing an additonal 10F temp increase after I put it on last summer.
So I mounted one extra B&M cooler in series which took car of that and made for 180F max on hot stop and go construction days on the city streets.
