Sounds good, but if you know dropping a 4L60 pan takes ~5 quarts, you should let it drain off for a while (trannys seem to drip forever!). Then, put on the new gasket and re-install pan, add 4 quarts, then get the car up to operating temp and take it for a casual spin around the block. Let the car idle, and then check fluid level. Add as necessary. And, IIRC, the "ADD" line on the automagic means add a pint, not a quart.
