I like to call 4t60/5's a floppy mess that you'd never think would work, right up until the 4th support is in. Keeping in mind these are the only transmissions I have rebuilt, but it amazes me how loose/floppy it is in there until that point.
lol Very true! I hadn't thought about fabricating a bracket for the engine stand! That might be cool to have. My first rebuild I was like "did I miss some bolts or something??" cause I was so terrified by how loose it was. Definitely one of those jobs you hold your breath on the first time. Unfortunately, I checked the valve body for things binding, but not for excessive clearance, so I'm going to have to do that this summer. I think as many rebuilds as I've been doing lately, I might buckle down and get the valve body "air checker" by sonnax which pressurizes the valve body passages so you can see the leak rate or if they're binding.
