4L60E Clutch Module 1992-2000, new and ready to install. Fits the 4L60E. Ships fast from the USA.
Tearing down an early 4L60E from a 1993-2000 Silverado, Sierra, Tahoe, Yukon, Suburban, S10, Blazer, Astro or Camaro and finding glazed or burnt clutches? This is a new 4L60E clutch module listed for the 1992-2000 range, branded GM, sold new with a 1-year warranty. The product photo shows a boxed set with friction plates alongside seals and a pan gasket, so it is aimed at the person doing a full overhaul on an early unit rather than swapping one pack. Check the photos against your needs, and ask us for the contents list before ordering if you are counting on a specific piece.
The 4L60E uses a set of multi-plate clutches and two one-way clutches to make its four ratios. The forward clutch drives first through third, the 3-4 clutch applies on the 2-3 shift and holds through overdrive, the overrun clutch gives engine braking in the manual ranges, and the low-reverse clutch holds in reverse and manual low. Each pack is a stack of lined frictions and plain steels squeezed by a hydraulic piston. When the linings glaze, that pack slips on apply, heats the fluid and wears the next pack faster. The 1993-2000 units are the oldest electronic 4L60Es on the road, so most have done plenty of miles on their original frictions.
Electrical faults can mimic slipping. A pressure control solenoid problem that sets P0748 gives soft or harsh shifts, so scan for codes before you condemn the clutches.
Check fluid level and condition, scan for codes, then drop the pan. Friction material and a burnt smell confirm a clutch failure; bright metal or a broken sun shell means other hard parts are involved. Once the unit is apart, air check each drum to find the leaking circuit. Our 4L60E common problems guide matches each symptom to the clutch behind it, and the forward clutch and sprag guide covers the early-unit input sprag wear that often shows up in the same teardown.
Listed for the 4L60E from 1992 to 2000. The 4L60E saw changes across these years, including input housing and piston revisions, so this is not a set to fit by year alone. Compare plate count, plate thickness and spline style with the parts you pull out, and match any part numbers on your old pieces. If anything does not line up, send the year and VIN and we will check fitment before you open the transmission. If your unit is 2001 or later, look at the other versions on our 4L60E parts page.
Drive easy for the first few hundred miles so the new frictions seat before heavy towing.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
It is listed for the 4L60E from 1992 to 2000. Because housings and pistons changed during those years, compare plates and part numbers with your old parts or send us your year and VIN.
New, GM branded, with a 1-year warranty.
The photo shows friction plates with seals and a pan gasket in a boxed set. Ask us for the exact contents list before ordering if you need a particular piece.
Use Dexron VI ATF. Soak the new frictions in it for at least 30 minutes before assembly.
If any piston is cracked or its sealing lip is hard, yes. A cracked 3-4 piston is a common reason the 3-4 pack burns. Bonded pistons are a popular upgrade on 1994 and later units.
Only if the 3-4 frictions are the cause. Stripped reaction sun shell splines produce the same symptom and need a sun shell. Check both on teardown.
