4L60E Overhaul Kit 1993-1996, new and ready to install. Fits the 4L60E. Ships fast from the USA.
The first electronic 4L60E units went into 1993 Chevrolet and GMC C/K 1500 pickups, Suburbans, Tahoes and Yukons, S10 and Sonoma pickups, Blazers, and the Camaro and Corvette. Three decades on, the ones that are still running tend to show up with the same complaints: a slip when the truck is warm, fluid weeping from more than one spot, and a 2-3 or 3-4 shift that flares or never arrives. This new overhaul kit is listed for 1993-1996 units, and the product photo shows a full rebuild set rather than a bare reseal bag: friction plates, a stack of steels, a 2-4 band, a filter, the gasket set, metal-clad seals, lip seals, O-rings and sealing rings.
Inside, the early 4L60E is the 700-R4 gear train with an electronic brain: overrun, forward, 3-4 and reverse input clutches in the rotating drums, a low/reverse clutch at the back of the case, and a 2-4 band wrapped around the reverse input drum. Every one of those apply devices is fed oil through rubber or Teflon seals, and every clutch depends on friction material that has not glazed. After 25-plus years of heat cycles the rubber hardens and shrinks and the frictions lose their bite at the same time, so replacing only one side rarely holds. Because this kit carries the band and steels along with the frictions and seals, the drums and case you reuse go back together with fresh sealing and clamping surfaces throughout.
Not every early-4L60E complaint needs a teardown. A shift problem that started with an electrical fault, such as a shift solenoid, the pressure control solenoid, or a TCC issue, can feel like a mechanical failure. Early units are also split on converter control: Sonnax notes that GM moved the 4L60E from a simple on/off converter clutch solenoid to PWM control in the mid-1990s, so 1993 and 1996 trucks do not always share the same valve body parts. Pull codes, check the fluid, and work through our 4L60E common problems guide. If 2nd and 4th are the gears that slip, read the 2-4 band and servo guide before you blame the clutches.
This listing covers the 4L60E from 1993 through 1996. Within that window GM made running changes, and some applications from these years share parts with later units while others do not. Before you order, confirm you have a 4L60E (glovebox RPO M30) and not a 4L80E, check the ID tag on the case, and compare the pan shape and valve body gasket pattern with what you remove. If you would rather we check it, send your year and VIN. Hard parts for these years are listed on the 4L60E parts page.
For the cause behind repeat 3-4 burnups, our 3-4 clutch apply and AFL valve guide explains why line pressure must be right before the new clutches go in.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
No. The listing photo shows frictions, steels, a 2-4 band and a filter along with the gaskets and seals, so it covers the wear parts for a full rebuild. Hard parts such as drums, the sun shell, sprags and the pump are not included.
It is listed for 1993-1996 units. GM changed parts on the 4L60E around the 1997 model year, so for 1997 and later use a kit listed for those years or send us your VIN to check.
It replaces the 3-4 frictions and steels. If the sun shell splines are stripped, that shell also has to be replaced, and you should find out why the 3-4 pack burned so it does not happen again.
Use Dexron VI ATF. A rebuilt unit with an empty converter takes much more than a pan service, so fill, start it, and check the level hot at idle in Park.
Clear any stored codes and, if your scan tool offers it for your computer, reset the transmission adaptive values. Then road test through every gear with light and moderate throttle so shift feel can settle.
