I am gathering parts to rebuild my 4L60E. Transmission is from a 1996 Suburban, but it was a rebuilt unit and is tagged as a 1997. The sun shell failed. I believe that the splines have been stripped out on it, but I have not been inside the transmission to check.

The vehicle will stay stock, so I'm trying to figure out what I actually need. I want a reliable transmission, but also don't want to spend $1000 on the rebuild.

How does this parts list look:

ACDelco sun shell and sun gear kit
Torque converter - reman. (stock stall)
Overhaul kit (with band, frictions, bonded pistons, steels, filters, etc...). Should I go with ALTO HEG stuff or Borg Warner stuff?

Thrust washer kit
Corvette servo
New accumulators and springs
3rd accumulator checkball and seat
13 vane pump kit

Pressure regulator spring
overrun clutch return spring
Borg Warner forward sprag and low/reverse sprag
Unbreakable pump ring kit
Transgo boost valve .500

Transgo separator plate
Sonnax wide sun gear bushing
Sonnax wide stator bushing
Torrington bearing kit


This seems overkill for a stock engine with 250 hp/330 tq. Is there anything I should skip? Anything I should add?
