Full overhaul kit for 2004-up GM 4L60E, 4L65E and 4L70E with frictions, band, bushings, filter, gaskets and seals to rebuild the unit in one order.
Late-model GM trucks and SUVs from 2004 on, such as the Silverado and Sierra 1500, Tahoe, Yukon, Suburban and the other rear-drive GM trucks that kept the 4L60E family, tend to come in with the same complaints: a 3-4 shift that slips and then disappears, a burnt smell at the dipstick, or no Reverse. This Remco full overhaul kit is for the moment that unit is already on the bench. It bundles the friction plates, a 2-4 band, a bushing kit, the pan filter and the gasket and seal set, 10 components in one box, and the listing also covers the 4L65E and 4L70E that share the same case and clutch layout.
A 2004-up 4L60E still makes its gears with clutch packs, one-way clutches and the 2-4 band, but by these years it is usually behind heavier trucks and bigger engines, which puts extra load on the 3-4 pack and the band. The kit replaces every friction surface that wears, the band that holds 2nd and 4th, and the bushings that keep the shafts and drums centered. Worn bushings matter more than they look: they let rotating parts run off-center, which wears sealing rings, leaks apply oil and robs the clutches of pressure. The gasket and seal set then restores every static and rotating seal so the hydraulic side holds what the valve body commands.
A burned 3-4 pack is often a symptom, not the root cause. Low commanded line pressure, from a bad engine load signal or a worn pressure control solenoid (P0748), will cook a new pack just as fast as the old one. Verify line pressure and check the solenoids before you commit to the rebuild; our 4L60E shift solenoid guide covers the electrical tests, and the common problems guide lists what each failure looks like on a scan tool. If P0741 is the only complaint, a vacuum test of the valve body may save you a teardown.
This kit is listed for the GM 4L60E from 2004 up, plus the 4L65E and 4L70E. Late units use different filter and seal details than the 1993-2003 cases, so a kit for the early years will not seal correctly here. Read the ID tag on the case, confirm the year with your VIN, and compare the filter and seals in the kit with what comes out of your unit. 4L65E and 4L70E units can differ from a 4L60E in internal hard parts, so check your build before reassembly. If you want us to confirm, send year and VIN. Other years and kit levels are on the 4L60E collection page.
The 2-4 band and servo guide explains pin selection and when the bigger servo helps versus when it just makes shifts harsh.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
Yes, the listing covers the 2004-up 4L60E plus the 4L65E and 4L70E, which share the same case and clutch layout. Compare the parts with your unit before assembly, since internal hard parts can differ between those models.
No. Late units use different filter and seal details than 1993-2003 cases. Use a kit listed for your build year, or send us year and VIN and we will match it.
Yes. After filling with Dexron VI, run the transmission adapt relearn with a scan tool so the computer adjusts shift pressures to the new clutches instead of the old worn values.
Usually low line pressure under load: a faulty engine load input or a worn pressure control solenoid commands too little pressure and the pack slips. Fix that cause before installing new clutches.
Common add-ons are steels if yours are discolored, a pressure control solenoid, a TCC solenoid, and a larger 2-4 servo on trucks that tow.
