4L60E Clutch Module 2004-2014, new and ready to install. Fits the 4L60E. Ships fast from the USA.
When a late-model GM truck starts flaring between gears, loses overdrive while towing, or comes back from a fluid change with black, burnt-smelling ATF, the friction plates are usually the first thing to look at. This new clutch module is listed for the 4L60E from 2004 through 2014, the span that covers the end of the GMT800 Silverado, Sierra, Tahoe, Yukon and Suburban and the GMT900 trucks that followed. It replaces the worn plates so a rebuilt unit actually holds when the valve body applies a clutch.
The 4L60E selects its four ratios by holding parts of two planetary gear sets with five clutches, a 2-4 band and two one-way clutches. Each clutch is a stack of friction plates splined to one member and steel plates splined to another. When the piston squeezes the stack, the two members lock together. Worn frictions lose their grooves and coefficient, so the stack needs more pressure to hold, slips a little on every shift, and builds heat that glazes it further. The 3-4 pack takes the most abuse because it applies on the 2-3 shift and stays on through overdrive, which is when a heavy truck is making the most torque at cruise.
Road test and note which gear slips. A 3-4 pack that is burned leaves 1st and 2nd healthy, while worn forward clutches show up in every forward gear. Pull the pan: clean fluid with a stripped-spline symptom means the sun shell, not the clutches. Sonnax traces most burnt 3-4 clutches to low line pressure and oil leaking from the 3rd-gear circuit, so new plates must go in with good seals and a healthy valve body. Our 3-4 clutch pack diagnosis guide covers the checks, and the forward clutch and sprag guide covers slips in all forward gears.
This module is listed for 4L60E transmissions built 2004 through 2014, sold new under an OEM brand label with a 1-year warranty. Plate counts are not the same across every GM 4-speed of this era. Sonnax notes the OE 4L60E 3-4 pack uses five or six frictions depending on application, while the heavier 4L65E and 4L70E carry seven as stock. Check the tag on your case and count the plates you remove before you install, and compare them to the module in the photo. If you are unsure which unit you have, send your year and VIN and we will match it. Earlier modules and complete kits are in our 4L60E parts collection.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
It is listed for the 2004-2014 4L60E. The 4L65E and 4L70E use a seven-friction 3-4 pack as stock, so count your plates and check the case tag before installing it in one of those units.
Yes. Hardened piston seals leak apply oil and will burn new frictions quickly. Replace the seals for every pack you open.
At least 30 minutes in clean ATF so the lining is fully saturated before assembly.
Usually not. P0741 is converter clutch slip, which on the 4L60E is most often caused by valve body bore wear or a TCC circuit problem. Diagnose it separately.
Resetting the transmission adaptive values with a scan tool is recommended so the computer does not apply old wear corrections to the new clutches.
