This comprehensive Stage 5 transmission rebuild kit is designed for 1993-1996 4L60E and 4L65E transmissions, specifically addressing common failure points in the 4L60E, such as the notorious 3-4 clutch pack weakness. This kit provides a significant performance upgrade and enhanced durability for your vehicle.
Addressing the Weak Points of the 4L60E
A frequent cause of 4L60E transmission failure is a damaged 3-4 drum, accounting for approximately 90% of failures. This kit tackles this issue head-on with an Alto A-Pack Extreme Duty Dual Clutch Kit, significantly bolstering the 3-4 drum’s strength. This dual clutch design doubles holding power compared to the stock configuration and has consistently outperformed the Raybestos Z-Pak in our testing.

Enhanced Performance with the 2-4 Intermediate Band
Further enhancing performance, this Stage 5 kit features a high-performance 2-4 intermediate band. This band, wider than the stock version and utilizing Alto’s Red Eagle friction material, delivers substantially improved holding power in second and fourth gear. This component is a cornerstone of our own transmission builds. Note: Availability of the extra-wide Red Eagle band may vary. If unavailable, a stock-width high-performance Red Eagle lined band will be substituted.

Premium Components for Superior Reliability
This kit utilizes Borg Warner High Energy Friction Modules for all clutches outside the 3-4 drum. These clutches are widely regarded as the best on the market by professional transmission builders, offering superior performance and durability compared to standard Alto graphite frictions.
