Default 4l60e on a lt1

Hello, I'm looking at a 4l60e for a lt1 swap I plan on doing, I talked to a rep at monster and the told me to get a 4l80e...but they didn't explain to me why and hung up. I need a 4l60e (or 4l65e) for a very specific shifter I want.
Is there anything I need to know before I buy these two parts? Will I have issues connecting them together?

A new LT1?
I ask because 4L60Es came in a lot of cars with old 93 to 96 LT1s

yes, a 5th gen. I was told not to buy a 90's lt1
I looked up some install videos and it looks like the 4l80e and 4l60e shift the same way so I wont have an issue buying what I want. Hopefully I don't run into any issues when I put it in my 75 camaro.

STAY AWAY FROM MONSTER

Which shifter do you want? I can think of one off the top of my head that you might mean...and you can use it with an 80e. But before I spout off...which shifter do you think you want to use?

Why should I not use monster? what would you recommend? They're currently quoting me around 3k without a controller or radiator or anything.

As for shifter, I want this https://www.summitracing.com/parts/b...4/applications
I did a fair bit of research after the fact and determained it will work just fine as long as I buy this bracket https://www.summitracing.com/parts/bmm-75498

Going to be honest, I don't know a lot about cars, so I'm learning everything as I go. (My dad is more of the car person, so he's helping me)

For one they hung up on you. What happens when you have a problem with their transmission and they hang up on you?

good point, rep didn't really know what I was talking about and just gave up.....I didn't think what I was asking was too complicated.
Found a few people recommend jakesperformance.com....are they worth it?

Do a search on this forum and read the horror stories about monster. Check out many FB groups also and hear nothing but horror stories.

If you want a quality built 4l60e, you should look to performabuilt, rpm, pro built, etc.

Get with PTC, Circle D, or FTI for a converter to match the 60e and LT1 genV
