Servo = Sonnax 2-4 full servo kit..both pieces, 10 o-rings, the best there is.
get Steel pressure plates to replace aluminums if that's what is in there now.
Sonnax 0.500 pressure valve in the pump.
Transgo kits are good. investigate various versions.
Watch the series of videos on TransmissionBench.com... very good coverage.. I set up my phone on a stand while reassembling so I could review each chapter while putting it back together.
Inspect EACH part very carefully when disassembling. If any doubt about integrity, get a new one, particularly your planetary gears. (ask me how I know)
Watch as many YouTubes as you can on the subject, too.

I have three chapters on my website that address the rebuilding of my 700R4, which, when it comes to the drivetrain, is pretty much identical to a 4L60E (but not the controls). . scroll down to appropriate gallery, this is the home page..Good LUCK !

Just do what 3w coupe says. But the kits are not going to have specialty items that will improve performance such as the sonnax items that I mentioned above..

And watch those videos on transmissionbench.com plus all the related videos on YouTube that you've got time to watch before you tear it all apart.. save the links so that you can quickly check back and follow those as you are putting it back together.
