It seems to me that re-builds are just time bombs.  A factory new or remanufactured is the way to go.

A trans going out at only 60k seems strange don't you think?

I thought maybe it was a Dodge.

This.

Saying "Dodge transmission" is like saying uh... "English cuisine", or "French Victory"...

Mine gave me the "thud of death" just three weeks ago. Minivan only had 80k miles on it.

I don't want to denigrate the Holocaust here... but the words "Never Again" come to mind.

We just got rid of our Grand Caravan with 94k miles, I thought it was living on borrowed time. One thing that sucks even worse on these are the brakes. It was difficult to ignore all those awesome deals offered by Chrysler dealers - I'm all done with mopar.

What is your driving style like? I know several 4T65-Es at the +150k mark with nothing but a fluid change, mine is at 83k. While not a great transmission, a stock 3.8 doesn't push it much. Sucks, maybe you just had some bad luck.

Our 08 is in the shop with a slipping trans right now.  It only has 52k on it.  Not sure if its the same tranny but I was never a fan of the way it felt.  Seemed soft and slow shifting even new.

Sad to admit that I switched the family over to foreign owned autos manufactures 5 years ago and have never looked back. Flame if you must, but I haven't seen the inside of a service garage since.

ok cars history

My kid sister bought the car new and she drives like granny. I ended up with it because my folks gave her the Cherokee that I was going to buy from them. I was going to pay 8g cash for the truck but they thought she needed it, She felt bad so just gave me the car. that was 2yrs ago.
I figured fine, Don't have to put miles on my truck and good on gas. After having the bullet hole fixed and some other minor body work done' I put on some nice bfg's.  so with the minor engine repairs I did I'm into it for under $1500

Oh I don't drive like a granny but have in no way beat it.
