I have had my transmission rebuilt 3 times, and I have put 2 used ones in, and I cant get 1,000 miles before 3rd n 4th goes completely out.

im asuming it is an auto. how do you drive your car?
the 4L60E isnt the strongest tranny stock but you have to beat on it to get them to brake. weather you have a lot of HP or just doing thing that a tranny isnt meant to do.

Do you think shifting them manually could hurt?

yep, especially engine braking on them when you downshift. Put it in drive and leave it there. If you want to shift a transmission, buy a manual trans.

or buy a manual valve body tranny, and have the hole thing upgraded to handle the extra stress.

Ok thanks I never thought that would really hurt them, I've always done that to my 3rd gens with 700r4 and never had a problem. But i guess I'll have to quit doing that and see what happens.

the 3rd gen had a high water mark for HP at 240. and that was at a lower RPM, i think 5200, not sure but around there. and your '94 has 270 at a higher RPM.
the torque isnt much different.
and oddly enough neither is the tranny.

The tranny is the same, other than the 4L60E is electronically controlled. Aaron, you hit the point though, "Higher RPM".
The higher the rpm, the harder it is for the trans to properly engage clutches/bands causing them to slip initially. That wears them right out.
