If you use NPT fittings on that trans you might crack the housing.

I believe the 4L60E's (as well as other trans) came with 1/4 in.-18 NPSM. In other words, straight thead, sometimes used for hydraulics and brake lines. The fittings are usually installed with a copper sealing washer.

If you screw in a taper thread (NPT), you can crack the case because your wedging a taper in a straight hole.

The best part is, it may also be fine today, and then crack one day when it's really hot.
