About this product

This is a complete set of steel clutch plates for a 1993-2005 GM 4L60E, the four-speed automatic behind most Silverado, Sierra, Tahoe, Yukon, Suburban, S10, Blazer and Camaro models of that era. It is the steel half of a rebuild: the plates that the frictions grip against. If you are rebuilding a unit that slipped, overheated or came apart with blued, warped or glazed steels, replacing them with the frictions is what gets the shift feel back.

What the steel plates do in a 4L60E

Every clutch in the 4L60E alternates frictions with steels. The steels carry the heat away from the friction faces and give the lining a flat, consistent surface to bite. When a pack slips, the steels take that heat first; they discolor, cone or develop hard spots, and a new friction pressed against a warped steel will chatter and wear out early. This set covers all five clutches:

Turbulated steels have holes or patterns that move fluid across the plate, which helps cool the reverse input and low/reverse packs. Raybestos builds a comparable 1993-on 4L60E steel module with turbulated low/reverse and reverse input plates, which shows this is the factory layout and not an aftermarket guess.

Signs your steels need replacing

How to confirm before you buy

Lay each old steel on a flat surface and check for rock, then compare thickness with a micrometer. Burnt steels mean something caused the slip, so trace the cause before reassembly; low 3rd-gear pressure and sealing ring leaks are the usual culprits. Our 4L60E 3-4 clutch friction count guide explains how plate thickness affects the stack, and the low/reverse clutch failure guide covers the no-reverse cases where the turbulated steels matter most.

Fitment

The set is listed for 1993-2005 4L60E units. One honest caution: GM changed 3-4 steel thickness on some late units, and around 2004-2005 some 3-4 packs used .095 inch steels instead of the .105 inch steels in this set. Measure the 3-4 steels you remove and count your plates per pack. If they differ, send us your year and VIN before ordering. The full 4L60E collection lists other internal parts for these years.

4L60E Clutch Module 1993-2005: common questions

Does this set include friction plates?

No. It is steels only: forward, overrun, reverse input, low/reverse and 3-4. Order a friction module separately and soak the frictions before assembly.

Why are some of the steels turbulated?

The low/reverse and reverse input steels have a cooling pattern that moves fluid across the plate. GM used turbulated plates in those packs on the 1993-on 4L60E, and this set matches that layout.

My 2005 has thinner 3-4 steels. Will this work?

This set uses .105 inch 3-4 steels. Some 2004-2005 units used .095 inch 3-4 steels, which changes the stack height and clearance. Measure yours first and send us your VIN if they do not match.

Can I reuse my old steels instead?

Only if they are flat, not discolored and still show a surface finish. After a slip or burnup, reusing steels is the most common reason a fresh friction rebuild chatters or fails early.

What fluid does a 1993-2005 4L60E take?

Use Dexron VI ATF. It supersedes the Dexron III originally specified for these years and is backward compatible.
