I have assisted in 2 Ford AODE trans swaps so i consider myself qualified enough to do one on a 4L60E. Is there a site with directions and pictures of the removal process like the cam and heads sites?
Thanks

Do a search for a converter swap.
Same stuff.
Basically... remove the driveshaft.
Then remove the transmission cross member.
After that, let the trans drop a bit, and get the PITA bolt on the motor for the trans dipstick. Then, go after the converter bolts. There are three. Pull the starter out and the access panel off and they will be easy to get too. After that, go after the bellhousing bolts. Top two are a PITA. I used around 4' worth of extensions and got them out. When they are all out... start pulling and prying to seperate the trans from the motor. Once it comes off, go ahead and lower it down a bit, and disconnect the speed sensor, the transmission harness, and cooler lines. Then ya drop her down and pull it out from under the car.
