    4L60E maintenance?

    Bought a cheap fixer-upper 07 Tahoe with 250K On the odometer. The engine is getting freshened up. My question concerns the trans, a 4L60E. As far as i know there were no problems concerning the trans. Other than replacing front/ rear seals what maintenance Should I perform to this transmission?
