No, you're not stuck with the 4t60 clutches at all, nowadays the rebuild kits for the 4t60 would include the latest clutch plates upgrades that can be had.
Suggest that you give Sonnax, Global Transmission parts a call or Transmission Parts USA on a 4t65 rebuild kit (assuming you want to purchase the master rebuild kit yourself).
You'll want a prior to 2002 rebuild kit, 2002-03 the valve body for the 4t65e was redesigned & improved.
