4T65E Overhaul Kit 1997, new and ready to install. Fits the 4T65E. Ships fast from the USA.
This 4T65E overhaul kit is built for the first-generation cars and everything after: it is listed for 1997-and-up GM 4T65E transaxles in Buick, Chevrolet, Oldsmobile and Pontiac models, and it adds a pan filter to the usual gasket and seal set. If your Century, Regal, LeSabre, Intrigue, Grand Prix or Impala is weeping fluid, slipping when hot, or waiting a second before it drops into gear, and you have decided to take the unit apart rather than replace it, this is the box of soft parts that goes back in it.
The 4T65E arrived for the 1997 model year as GM's update of the 4T60-E, keeping the chain-drive layout but running it under PCM-controlled shift and pressure control solenoids. Those solenoids can only do their job if the hydraulic circuits behind them are tight. This kit replaces the parts that seal those circuits:
It cross-references to kit numbers W84002GW and KP52900FM. It does not contain clutch frictions, steels or bands.
Start with the fluid. Dark, burnt-smelling fluid with friction material in the pan means the clutch packs or bands have already worn, so this kit belongs with a friction set or a 4T65E clutch module 1997-2002. A slow engagement with clean fluid points to leaking piston seals, a worn pump or low line pressure; our 4T65E delayed engagement guide walks through the checks in order, and the 4T65E 3-4 clutch failure guide covers the pack that most often burns once seals start leaking.
Our page title says 1997 because that is where the listing starts, but the kit itself is listed for 1997-and-up 4T65E units in Buick, Chevrolet, Oldsmobile and Pontiac applications, and it includes valve body and pump gaskets for both the GM and Volvo versions of the transaxle. GM made running changes to the 4T65E over the years, so match each old gasket to its new counterpart before you start assembly, especially at the channel plate. If you want us to confirm it against your car, send the year and VIN. Browse the rest of our parts for this unit on the 4T65E transmission page.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
Yes. It includes a pan filter and a bonded rubber pan gasket along with the valve body, pump and channel plate gaskets and all the seals and sealing rings.
No. It is listed for 1997-and-up 4T65E transaxles in Buick, Chevrolet, Oldsmobile and Pontiac models. Compare the old gaskets to the new ones and send us your year and VIN if you want it checked.
No. This is a gasket, seal and filter set. If your packs are burnt or the fluid has friction material in it, add frictions and steels or a clutch module.
Volvo used a version of the 4T65E, so the kit carries valve body and pump gaskets for both. Use the ones that match the parts you removed.
Dexron VI, checked hot on level ground after a road test.
Inspect the pump, the drums and the forward band servo bore. A worn pump or a cracked drum will undo a fresh reseal, and many rebuilders add a new pressure control solenoid at the same time.
