Re: 4L60 (700R4) DIY Rebuild

The transmission is apart and I'm taking the case to my buddy's shop today to use his cleaning machine. I've continued reading and came upon this article:

http://www.montecarloss.com/SSThunder/drivetrain.html

It's a long article, so here's the info I'm interested in: In the section entitled "700R4 Overhaul Tips" it says I should do the following because my trans came from behind a V-6 (1991, 4.3L):
1) Replace the 3-4 apply fingers in the aluminum drum with the V-8 version (allows 1 more clutch & steel).
2) Remove the aluminum plate & top overrun steel plate from the forward clutch and replace with V-8 version (allows 1 more forward clutch & steel).
3) Replace the reverse input piston with a shorter V-8 version (allows 1 more clutch & steel).

Is this necessary? (I haven't taken the subassemblies apart yet, so I don't know how many clutches are there.)

I'll post more pics once I find out how to make them larger.
