About this product

When a 2004 to 2013 Silverado 1500, Sierra 1500, Tahoe, Yukon, Suburban, Express or Colorado starts flaring between gears, engages late, or makes a squawk on the 2-3 shift, the 4L60E is usually telling you its clutches and seals are done. This new overhaul kit is listed for 2004-2013 units and covers the frictions, steels, gaskets and seals for a complete teardown, and the photo also shows a filter. It is the parts base for rebuilding the transmission rather than replacing it.

What an overhaul kit does in a late 4L60E

By 2004 the 4L60E was a mature design: five clutch packs, a 2-4 band, and a valve body controlled by shift, TCC and pressure control solenoids. Every apply circuit depends on rubber and Teflon seals holding pressure, and every clutch depends on frictions with enough lining left to grip. After 150,000 miles or a round of towing, both are worn at the same time. This kit replaces those wear parts together, so the pump, case and drums you keep go back in with fresh sealing and friction surfaces instead of a patchwork of old and new.

Symptoms that mean it is time to overhaul

How to confirm before you tear it down

Several common late-4L60E complaints are electrical or hydraulic, and an overhaul will not fix them. Converter clutch slip with P0741 often comes from valve body bore wear, and harsh or mushy shifts with P0748 point to the pressure control solenoid. Scan for codes, check line pressure, and read our 4L60E common problems guide first. If the 3-4 clutch is burned, our guide to 3-4 apply and the AFL valve explains why low AFL and line pressure must be corrected during the rebuild, or the new clutches will burn again.

Fitment: 2004 to 2013

The listing covers 4L60E transmissions from 2004 through 2013, the late GMT800 and GMT900 trucks and SUVs plus vans and midsize pickups. GM made running changes in this period, and some of these vehicles use the 4L65E or 4L70E instead, which carry different 3-4 clutch packs. Read the ID tag on the case, compare the gasket and separator plate pattern with your valve body, and send us your year and VIN if you want us to confirm before ordering. Hard parts for these years are on the 4L60E parts page.

4L60E Overhaul Kit 2004-2013: common questions

Does this kit fit a 4L65E or 4L70E?

It is listed for the 4L60E from 2004 to 2013. The 4L65E and 4L70E share much of the design but use a different 3-4 clutch pack, so check your case ID tag and send us your year and VIN before ordering.

What is not included in an overhaul kit?

Hard parts such as drums, the sun shell, sprags, bushings, the pump and solenoids are not part of an overhaul kit. Inspect them during teardown and replace anything worn.

Will an overhaul fix code P0741 or P0748?

Not by itself. P0741 usually points to valve body bore wear or converter issues, and P0748 to the pressure control solenoid. Address those during the rebuild.

My 2010 Silverado squawks on the 2-3 shift. Is this the fix?

GM PIP5071 attributes that noise on 2008-2013 units to the 3-4 clutch and calls for new 3-4 frictions, steels, apply plate and backing plate. A full overhaul covers the clutch side of that repair.

What fluid and how much?

Use Dexron VI ATF. After a full rebuild with an empty converter, expect to add more fluid than a pan drop takes, and set the final level hot.
