Transmisson
I know for sure we have the "E"... but I also thought the E meant nothing more than it had a few more sensors for the Transmission control module?
Found the full doc from GM media.. be prepared, it's huge

Full descriptions of new or changed features
New applications
New for 2006, the 4T65-E is available in the new Buick Lucerne with the 3.8L V-6. It is also available with the 3.9L V-6 powered Buick Terraza, Saturn Relay, Pontiac SV6 and Chevy Uplander, Malibu, Malibu Maxx, Impala and Monte Carlo. It is also available in the 3.5 V-6 and 5.3 V-8-powered Impala and Monte Carlo.
Two new torque converters added for new applications
New applications for the 2006 model year include the Buick Lucerne (M15) and Terraza (M15, M76), Saturn Relay (M15, M76), as well as new engines available in the all-new Chevrolet Impala/Monte Carlo. To tailor shift performance to the new applications and drivetrains, two new torque converters are used, both 258 mm in diameter. The new torque converters allow more efficiency and durability.
DEXRON® VI premium fluid validated to improve durability and shift stability
A new transmission fluid, DEXRON® VI, was developed to have a more consistent viscosity profile; a more consistent shift performance in extreme conditions; and less degredation over time. Internal GM tests have demonstrated DEXRON® VI to deliver more than twice the durability and stability in friction tests compared to existing fluids. This fluid is validated and required in all 2006 4T65-E transaxles.
Low maintenance
The M15 / MN3 / MN7 uses DEXRON® VI fluid, which is validated as "fill-for-life," and requires no maintenance. The M76 uses DEXRON® VI in the transaxle case and BOT190M1 in the power takeoff unit. This is also fill-for-life under normal operating conditions. In addition, the ability to tailor the transaxle to specific platform requirements with the wide range of available ratios ensures the transaxle is operated as designed.
Finally, the chain and sprocket drive system and the premium material used in the gear sets contribute to very high durability and no requirement for maintenance under normal operating conditions.
Overview
[font=hjdhdl+arial,arial][size=3][left]The Hydra-Matic 4T65-E (M15 / MN7) was introduced in 1997, and has applications from midsized to large front-drive sedans and minivans using V-6 and V-8 engines. It is a two-axis automatic four-speed transaxle with electronic controls, and features a unique dual chain and sprocket configuration that runs quieter than a single chain design. A stronger version of the chain, with heat-treated pins, is used with V-8 applications. In addition, for V-8 applications the starter motor is moved from the engine side of the engine/transaxle coupling to the transmission side, and the input sun gears are made with a process that increases durability, and the final drive shaft gets a shot-peen process that strengthens the metal of the shaft.

Oh, here's some more specs....
Overload of information anyone? LMAO...
and I had to put it into JPEG form, so you'll have to load it up in order to be able to read it... the copy/paste from Adobe PDF format was worthless and confusing... heh
Also from GM's media website
