About this product

The 1997-2002 4L60E is the transmission behind the last of the old-body Chevrolet and GMC C/K pickups and the first GMT800 Silverado 1500 and Sierra 1500, plus Tahoe, Yukon, Suburban, S10, Blazer, Sonoma and the late Camaro and Firebird. By now many of these have well over 150,000 miles. When one starts slipping on the 1-2 or 2-3 shift, takes a second to grab Reverse, or leaves fluid on the driveway, this banner rebuild kit supplies the seals, gaskets, frictions and filter for that mid-production unit.

What the banner rebuild kit does in a 1997-2002 4L60E

Every gear in a 4L60E is a combination of clutch packs and the 2-4 band acting on two planetary sets. When a lip seal on the forward or 3-4 piston hardens, apply pressure bleeds away and that pack slips, glazes and then burns. The banner kit attacks that chain: new frictions for each pack, a complete overhaul gasket and seal set, and a new filter so debris from the old failure does not circulate into the fresh unit. Steels are reused if they pass inspection, which keeps the cost under a master kit.

Symptoms on 1997-2002 units

How to confirm before you buy

Two of the codes above are not clutch problems. A P0748 or P0741 points you to the solenoids and valve body first, and our 4L60E shift solenoid symptoms and testing guide walks through the checks. If the shift feel is the complaint rather than slipping, read the 1-2 accumulator and shift feel guide before pulling the transmission. True slipping with burnt fluid and lining on the magnet means the overhaul is the fix.

Fitment: 1997 to 2002

This kit is listed for 1997-2002 4L60E transmissions. That window matters. By 1997 most 4L60Es use a pulse-width-modulated TCC, and for 2003 GM changed the internal harness and solenoid connectors, so 1997-2002 is a natural block of parts. Inside it there were still valve body revisions during the run, so compare each gasket against your case and valve body before final assembly. If you have a 2001-2002 truck with the 6.0 V8, check the tag, because many of those use the heavier 4L65E. Send us the year and VIN if you are unsure. Every part for these units is on the 4L60E collection page.

4L60E Banner Rebuild Kit 1997-2002: common questions

Will this kit fit my 2003 Silverado?

Buy a kit listed for 2003 instead. The 2003 units changed the internal harness and solenoid connectors, and gasket sets are usually split at that year.

My 2002 truck has a 6.0 V8. Is it a 4L60E?

Not always. Many 2001-2002 heavy half-ton and 6.0 applications used the 4L65E. Check the transmission ID tag on the case or the RPO code, or send us the VIN.

Are steel plates included?

A banner kit is built around gaskets, seals, frictions and a filter. Inspect your steels and replace any that are blued, scored or warped.

Can a rebuild kit fix a P0741 code?

Only if the cause is a worn converter clutch or seal. On 1997-2002 units, P0741 is often valve body bore wear in the TCC circuit, so test the valve body too.

What fluid do I use after the rebuild?

Dexron VI ATF. It is GM's current specification and backward compatible with the Dexron III these units were filled with from the factory.
