The only gray area here is the version of the 4L60-E used in the hybrid trucks. Option code M33. These are the ones that have an electric generator/motor sandwiched between the flexplate and torque converter. (These engine also have no conventional starter.) This trans has an electric pump in the pan to supply line pressure when the truck comes to a stop and the engine shuts off. Even in this trans the front (main) pump is driven by the converter hub.
