Parts list for 4L60E rebuild
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?

Re: Parts list for 4L60E rebuild
Test the 3rd Accumulator checkball, If it has minor leakage....Re-seat the checkball with a flat nosed punch with a couple raps with a small hammer from the valve body side of the case.
Use Plate GM# 24244053. https://www.amazon.com/ACDelco-24244...words=24244053 If your going to buy a Pump Kit....Get a 10 Vane. Pump Slide Pins are usually worn on these. The Trans Go hi rev rings are pretty good as is the slide spring it comes with. I don't like using steel boost valve sleeves in a 4L60E, I don't feel like going on a rant about some of Trans Go's mediocre consumer grade products. Sonnax 4L60E-LB1 is a Aluminum Sleeve .490 Boost Valve, Comes with a 10% over PR Spring.....https://www.amazon.com/4L60E-Boost-V...ords=4L60E-LB1 Never mind the .500" advertisement....It's .490". Use this spring along with the White servo cushion spring when using a 093/Vette servo......https://www.amazon.com/ACDelco-86811...o+servo+spring Large (DX) truck Accumulator Valves generally cause a harsh 2nd gear when paired with a vette servo, Install a CX accumulator valve & sleeve from a Camaro/Corvette or put a lighter spring in it. Sonnax has 700 coded accumulator valve/sleeve/spring kits. I use Borg Warner friction modules. |

Re: Parts list for 4L60E rebuild
Sorry guys to up old thread, but I have some questions. Hope you will help.
I am not rebuilding...yet...but I have a question regarding the tail/output shaft of the tranny that goes through the extension housing and connects to the driveshaft. The tail shaft squeaks when I turn it in one direction when the van (2001 Safari cargovan RWD) is in neutral. Also, there is close to a 1/4" movement at the end of the shaft with the extension housing removed. I don't see any way of removing the output shaft for inspection without removing the tranny and tearing it down. Thought maybe since you've torn one apart that you might be able to shed some light on the innards. I am curious as to whether you'd know what might be squeaking and whether the movement is excessive. The squeak comes from deeper in the tranny and when I move the driveshaft end of the output shaft the bearing/bushing/seal where the shaft enters the tranny housing moves noticeably. I'm concerned because I get a repetitive turning noise that I first associated with the rear end. The gear teeth in the rear end look good, the clearances are OK, the teeth mesh fine, and I replaced the pinion and carrier bearing a couple of years ago. Is there anything in the tranny that could cause such a low, almost growling noise that repeats every rev? I replaced the bushing and seal on the driveshaft end of the extension housing. And can you advise some transmisssion to rebuild? I want World Wide Parts 4L60E like this https://mechanicguides.com/best-4l60e-rebuild-kit/. Thanks. |

Re: Parts list for 4L60E rebuild
If it's moving 1/4" then you have some problems.
i had a similar experience to yours where I thought something was wrong with my transmission because I couldn't figure out where the noise was coming from and found that when I turned the driveshaft by hand that the transmission squeaked. The squeak turned out to be nothing, and the issue was actually a u-joint. I guess when I checked them that the brake didn't hold it and it rolled against the park pawl so it appeared tight. The 1/4" movement is probably because the output shaft snap ring has broken. This is allowing the shaft to slide forward or backward and probably ride against something. The output shaft snap ring is about 1/2 to 3/4 of the way into a teardown. You will need to remove the valve body, pump, and input drum at the very least to get to the parts. Not sure if you are planning on rebuilding yourself or taking somewhere, but at the point you can get to the output shaft there isn't much reason to not just rebuild the entire thing.

Re: Parts list for 4L60E rebuild
If the snap ring at the front planet was broke, you would be able to pull the output shaft out of the rear of the transmission. (4L60E)
The movement sounds like an up and down movement not a in and out movement of the output shaft which maybe the case bushing is worn. The squeak that you are hearing maybe the center support sprag, just a guess.. can not hear it from my shop floor. Good luck !! |
