Ok that makes more sense. What was the thought process in the two transmission setup? When youve had enough educating (or trying too) say so everytime I get more info it just makes me want to ask another question. Thanks

The reason for the tow gearboxes in one case was cost.
First there was the C6. It was a three speed transmission. Then it was modified by adding an overdrive gearset in the front. Overdrive was only used after the rear trans was in 1:1, and it was named the E4OD. Later the E4OD was beefed up and had more sensors and was renamed 4R100.
Keeping the same layout, but making it a bit larger, allowed the same transfer line to be used in the transmission plant. New transfer lines cost many millions of dollars, so reusing one is a big driver. The overdrive gearset in the front now could be used with the rear trans in any gear and it was named the 5R110 TorqShift.

Wow, that didn't last long enough for everything to get seated right. That's a big time bummer.

CertiFRIED? That does suck but, ...
Replacing the tranny cooler and flushing the lines really well is a wise idea.. Little particles in the fluid can wreak havoc on the solenoids.. The junk from the other torched slushboxes can't ever be cleaned from the cooler, that's why it needs to be replaced..

Although I would advise him to have it stock for atleast a few hundred miles though, but that's just me.
