About this product

1996 was a transition year for GM: OBD-II arrived across the lineup, and the 4L60E picked up hardware changes that separate it from the 1993-1995 units. If you have a 1996 Chevrolet or GMC C/K 1500, Tahoe, Yukon, Suburban, S10, Blazer, Sonoma or Camaro and the transmission is slipping, slow to engage or leaking, this banner rebuild kit is listed specifically for that model year.

What the banner rebuild kit does in a 1996 4L60E

The kit pairs a full overhaul gasket and seal set with new friction plates and a filter. Inside a 1996 unit those frictions go into the overrun, forward, 3-4, reverse input and low/reverse packs, and the seals restore apply pressure to each piston. After roughly 30 years, the original rubber has usually hardened and the original frictions have glazed, so even a transmission that has never failed outright tends to slip once it gets hot. Replacing the soft parts as a set returns clamping force to every pack without paying for new steels you may not need.

Symptoms on a 1996 transmission

How to confirm before you buy

1996 is the first year these trucks report standard OBD-II trouble codes, so a basic scan tool reads the transmission directly. Check for solenoid and pressure codes first and use the 4L60E shift solenoid guide to test them. A 2-4 band that has burned also feels like slipping on the 1-2 shift; the 2-4 band and servo guide explains how to tell. If the fluid is burnt and full of debris, the overhaul is due.

Fitment: 1996 only

This kit is listed for 1996 4L60E transmissions. Why one year? Sonnax notes that early 4L60E cases without shifter bracket bosses cannot be used in 1996-1997 vehicles, and 1996 valve bodies and separator plates differ from the 1993-1995 parts. Sonnax also splits many TCC parts into non-PWM and PWM versions, with the PWM style widespread from 1997, so 1996 sits at the edge of two parts groups. Because of that, lay each gasket over the case and valve body before assembly, and send us your VIN if the transmission has been swapped. For other years, see the 1993-96 banner kit or the full 4L60E collection.

4L60E Banner Rebuild Kit 1996: common questions

Why is there a separate kit for 1996?

1996 4L60Es carry case and valve body revisions that set them apart from 1993-1995 units, and the year sits right before PWM converter control became widespread. Buying the kit listed for your year keeps the gaskets matched.

Can I use this kit in a 1995 or 1997 transmission?

Buy the kit listed for that year instead. If your truck has a swapped transmission, send us the VIN or the case ID tag and we will match it.

Is the 2-4 band included?

A banner kit focuses on gaskets, seals, frictions and a filter. Inspect the band and buy one separately if the lining is worn.

What fluid goes in a 1996 4L60E?

Use Dexron VI ATF. It supersedes the Dexron III these units came with and is approved for them.

Should I replace the speed sensors during the rebuild?

If the sensors are original and the truck has shown erratic shifting or speedometer drops, it is cheap to replace them while the transmission is out. Check the connector and seal either way.
