About this product

The 4L60E arrived in GM full-size trucks for 1993, and the first four model years of it are now three decades old. A 1993-1996 C/K 1500, Sierra, Tahoe, Yukon, Suburban, S10, Sonoma, Blazer, Camaro or Corvette that still runs its original transmission is very likely to show the classic age complaints: a lazy shift into Drive on a cold morning, a slip as soon as the fluid gets hot, or a dark, burnt-smelling dipstick. This new banner rebuild kit is listed for exactly that 1993-1996 window and is meant for the owner or shop that is pulling the unit and doing the overhaul properly once.

What a banner kit does in an early 4L60E

A banner kit sits between a bare gasket set and a full master kit. It pairs the overhaul gaskets and rubber and Teflon seals with new friction plates and a filter. In the 4L60E those frictions live in the overrun, forward, 3-4, reverse input and low/reverse packs, with the 2-4 band handling second and fourth. Every one of those packs is squeezed by a hydraulic piston, and every piston is only as good as its seal. When a thirty-year-old seal shrinks and hardens, apply oil leaks past it, the pack slips, and the slip glazes the lining. Replacing the seals and frictions together is what restores clamping force. Steels, bushings, drums and the gear train are not part of a banner kit, so they are inspected and reused or bought separately.

Symptoms on 1993-1996 transmissions

Harsh or soft shifts with a pressure control fault, or converter clutch slip, are hydraulic and electrical problems that a soft-parts kit will not cure on its own.

How to confirm before you buy

Scan first, and know which system you are reading. The 1993-1995 vehicles are OBD-I and store two-digit codes, while 1996 introduced OBD-II and the P-codes most scan tools expect. Then check fluid level and condition, and road test to see which shift misbehaves. Our 4L60E S10 common problems guide walks through separating a worn valve body or solenoid from tired clutches. If the pan is full of friction material and the unit slips in more than one gear, an overhaul with a kit like this is the right call.

Fitment

Listed fit is the 4L60E from 1993 through 1996, branded GM, sold new with a 1-year warranty. GM revised the valve body, spacer plate and internal parts several times across these early years, and two-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive cases do not share every part. Match the gaskets in the box to your spacer plate and case, and check your plate count against the parts you remove. If you are not sure, send us your year and VIN before ordering. Units built from 1997 on use different kits; see our 4L60E parts collection for every year range.

4L60E Banner Rebuild Kit 1993-1996: common questions

Will this kit fit my 1997 or later 4L60E?

It is listed for 1993-1996 units. GM changed the case and several internal parts for 1997 and later, so use one of our later-year kits for those transmissions.

Does a banner kit include steel plates and bushings?

No. A banner kit covers frictions, overhaul gaskets and seals, and a filter. Inspect your steels and bushings and replace any that are worn, scored or heat-blued.

My 1994 truck shows no P-codes. Is the computer broken?

Probably not. 1993-1995 GM trucks are OBD-I and use two-digit codes. You need a reader that supports that system, or the flash-code procedure for your vehicle.

What fluid should I use after the rebuild?

Dexron VI. It replaced Dexron III as the GM service fill and is backward compatible with these early 4L60E units. Check the level hot in park.

Will new clutches fix a no 3rd and 4th gear problem?

Only if the 3-4 pack burned. If the 3-4 frictions look fine, inspect the sun shell splines, which strip on this transmission and cause the same symptom.
