Yes that’s a good deal but you really only need the low/rev spring compressor. Pump puller is not needed, ring sizers would be nice but also not needed. For a one time rebuild or a few DIY builds in my opinion not needed. Spend the money on parts that will increase the longevity of the build. Also a side note, don’t shop for parts by lowest price. You will absolutely get what you pay for. Lot of aftermarket peddlers out there selling china parts as Direct replacement or even OEM. I will be working on the list for you today of parts. Also would like to start on a step by step tutorial or even a video if there is interest from members and time allows.

Maybe look into this for the compressor. It looks like it will do low/rev and rev input drum. I have never used a tool like this so can’t say how it performs.

I am sharing my preferences for parts for a 4L60E that I use and continue to use in my overhauls. Every builder has his own recipe for parts that give them the desired results. I don’t do patch jobs or very basic overhauls by putting in new clutches and band and call it good.

The brands I list are what I have good success with and not saying you must use brand A and not brand B . This is what I use your results may differ.




First is a good converter. I have a local converter shop that I use exclusively. Top Line Converter in Pittsburgh PA. 412-464-9985.




In the past have used with success converters from.

Precision of New Hampton.

Florida torque converter.




Bushing kit

Corvette servo

Borg Warner High Energy band

Transtec overhaul kit

Borg Warner frictions with the High Energy 3-4 frictions

Transgo “SK4L60E” shift kit

Transgo aluminum accumulator pistons in forward accumulator and 1-2 accumulator.

Delco separator plate

Sonnax 3-4 return springs

Filtran filter

Molded piston kit

Borg Warner Input sprag

Borg Warner Low/rev sprag

Borg Warner EPC solenoid

Delco shift solenoids

Sonnax boost valve

Delco reaction shell




This is the standard list for every 4L60E. There will be other parts that need replaced that you will find upon tear down. A lot has to do with application and what the transmission is required to do as to what areas need to be addressed . Steels and pressure plates need to be checked and replaced as needed. The pump and valve body have common bores that wear and need reamed and sleeved. Not for the DIY builder as the equipment and tooling is quite expensive to perform these repairs. The shift kit addresses the main wear area with re designed valving . Another area is the rotor,vanes,slide and pivot pin that wear. Planetary pinion bearings and shims will wear. Planets can be rebuilt and the captured Torrington bearing replaced. But again specialized tooling required to press apart.

Please ask any questions or mention any parts that weren’t listed.




I will work on a list of tips and techniques to help avoid problems with the overhaul.
