AGH! He is NOT incorrect, 4L60 and 4L60E are 2 seperate transmissions. 4L60 is the SAME as a 700R4, a 4L60E... see that E on the end? Thats the electronic 4L60/700R4 - example - a 1991 Corvette came with a 4L60 - a 1996 Corvette came with a 4L60E.

**** **** **** ****, I can't believe I confused that. Well at least my info was correct, if that was what we happened to be discussing. 
And yes in the later years all they did was change the name with no differences.

Some people use the radiator's internal transmission cooler and add a seperate cooler just to help the radiator out - but by completely bypassing the radiator, you're removing all the transmission heat from the engine coolant so reducing both transmission and coolan temps - n face it, in a 3rd gen, the coolant can stand to lose around 40 degrees

Umm....if you use a decent size fluid-to-air cooler then it's much more effective than the "fluid-to-200* engine coolant" factory setup. The factory rig has much less cooling capacity because the cooling medium itself is very hot. It's like working out and then trying to cool off by showering in boiling water.
You do have to use a good-size fuild-to-air cooler though, or it won't cool the fluid enough due to lack of surface area.
