When a 4L60E, 4L65E, or 4L70E rebuild calls for a Stage 1 performance clutch upgrade and the shop already has the steel plates on hand, this Deluxe Kit Less Steels covers the remaining eight component groups in a single order. What sets it apart from a standard overhaul is the combination of a Stage 1 clutch pack with red clutches and Z-Pack, a high-performance blue bonded piston kit, and an aftermarket-design reaction sun shell alongside the sealing and wear parts the automatic transmission needs to function correctly after reassembly.REMCO has been assembling kits like this since 1991, pulling each piece individually rather than dropping in a pre-packed set. Before the box is sealed, the contents are checked against the part list that ships inside it, so the technician can count and verify on the bench without guessing.The eight pieces in this kit are: one overhaul gasket kit covering the sealing needs of the 97-03 application, one high-performance blue bonded piston kit, one bushing kit with 14 bushings covering the TH700-R4, 4L60E, and 4L65E from 1984 up, one aftermarket-design reaction sun shell, one forward input sprag with 28 or 29 dual-cage elements for the 4L60E and 4L65E, one deep pan filter for the 4L60E and 4L65E from 1997 up, one 2-4 flex band at 2.620 inches wide with red lining, and one Stage 1 clutch pack with red clutches and Z-Pack. Total shipped weight is 15 lb.This kit does not include steel plates. If the job requires them, they must be sourced separately before the rebuild begins. Confirm the transmission code is 4L60E, 4L65E, or 4L70E and that the unit falls within the 1997 to 2003 model range before placing the order. Skip hunting down 8 separate parts: this kit puts overhaul gaskets, bonded pistons, bushing kit, sun shell, sprag, filter, flex band, and Stage 1 red clutch pack in one box. NO steel plates included. This is a Less Steels variant. If your job requires steels, source them separately before ordering so the rebuild is not held up waiting on parts. Stage 1 red clutches with Z-Pack and a high-performance blue bonded piston kit distinguish this build from a standard overhaul, addressing common wear points in performance-driven applications. Box contains exactly 8 pieces: 1 overhaul gasket kit, 1 bonded piston kit, 14 bushings, 1 reaction sun shell, 1 28/29-element dual-cage sprag, 1 deep pan filter, 1 flex band, 1 Stage 1 red clutch pack. Kit weighs 15 lb. Before ordering, confirm the transmission code is 4L60E, 4L65E, or 4L70E and that the unit year falls within 97-03. Verify no steels are needed for your job.
