 @Ford Tempo Faggot... "Those four speeds" Really? There's several versions of "those four speeds" so you might wanna clarify.. 
lmfao. Here is it all clarified, since you can't understand. Typically problematic GM transmissions:
4L60-E/4L65-E (most GM trucks and SUVs, 1992+)
4L85-E (Chevy Suburban, Avalanche, some commercial vehicles)
4T60-E (almost every GM sedan after 1992) I believe the 4T60 is what sits in the Malibu, but don't quote me on that. From a time frame starting around 1992 until the past wave of five and six speeds, GM had bad luck with their 4spd automatics. I know from personal experience. Eric knows from personal experience, having had his 4spd rebuilt, what, twice now? In under 150,00 miles? I even went to a GM fan (aka. "enthusiast") forum a while back asking about the 4L60-E and its issues, and hell, GM FAN BOYS started ripping on these things! We're talking about biased-as-hell fans, and even they recognize these thing's weaknesses. @OP: Point is, short term the Malibu is a decent machine. Don't expect to get six digit mile figures out of that transmission though. Its not that they can't, but don't count on it.

Stfu. PS, you're forgetting the 4T65E and 65E HD, and also the 60 HD.

The 4T65 is just a heavy duty version of the 4T60, amirite?
