6T70 Banner Rebuild Kit 2009-2013, new and ready to install. Fits the 6T70. Ships fast from the USA.
This banner rebuild kit with pistons is for the GM 6T70E six-speed in 2009-2013 Chevrolet Malibu and Equinox, Saturn Aura, Pontiac G6 and Torrent and the Suzuki XL-7, the V6 cars and compact SUVs that share the transverse 6T70 family. If yours slips when it shifts into 3rd, has lost Reverse, or bangs into gear after sitting overnight, this is the soft-parts package a rebuilder uses to put it back to factory shift quality without paying for a full master kit.
A 6T70 makes each gear by applying two of its five clutches at the same time. Three of those clutches are held to the case (Low/Reverse, 2-6 and 1-2-3-4) and two rotate (3-5-R and 4-5-6). The transmission control module bolted to the valve body inside the case learns each clutch's fill time, so worn frictions and leaking piston seals show up first as inconsistent shifts and later as slip. This kit combines the overhaul gasket and seal set with a standard set of friction clutch plates and new pistons, which covers the parts that wear out in a normal rebuild. Steels, wave plates, drums, the pump and the filter are not listed as included, so plan to reuse or buy those after inspection.
Read codes and drain a fluid sample before ordering anything. On a Malibu or Equinox that only shifts harshly with no codes and clean fluid, a shift adapt relearn or a valve body problem is more likely than worn clutches; our 6T70 Equinox shift problems guide walks through that split. If the sample has glitter and Reverse is gone, plan on a full teardown: GM's wave plate procedure has you split the case, clean every bit of debris and replace the pump fluid filter and the solenoid filter plate. The 6T70 rebuild cost guide covers what that job usually adds up to.
The kit is listed for 6T70E and 6T75E units from 2009 to 2013 in the Chevrolet Equinox, Malibu and Traverse, GMC Acadia, Saturn Outlook and Aura, Buick Enclave, Pontiac G6 and Torrent and the Suzuki XL-7, with the 3.6L V6 named in the kit title. Because 2009-2012 units are all Generation 1 and some 2013 units are Generation 2, the year alone does not settle it. GM's 2013 update (RPO M7W or M7U on a 6T70) brought a notched 1-2-3-4 piston, nine thinner 1-2-3-4 plates instead of seven, and new wave plates and frictions in several clutches. Send your year, model and VIN with the order so the correct generation ships, and count your frictions on teardown. All 6T70 parts are on the 6T70 transmission page.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
The overhaul gasket and seal set, a standard set of friction clutch plates and new pistons. Steels, wave plates, drums, the pump and the filter are not listed as included.
It depends on the generation. A 2013 6T70 with RPO M7W or M7U is Gen 2; others are still Gen 1. Send your VIN with the order so the correct version ships.
A banner kit covers the frictions, seals and gaskets that wear in a normal rebuild. If the steels are heat-marked or you want everything in one box, a master kit is the better buy.
On units from this period the usual cause is a broken 3-5-R wave plate that lets the piston over-stroke and leak. It needs a teardown, updated wave plates and full debris cleaning, not just a fluid change.
Dexron VI only. Check the level at operating temperature, then run Service Fast Learn Adapts with a scan tool.
