TH700R4 4L60E 4L70E 4L65E [82-93] Automatic Transmission Friction Plate

When the 3rd or 4th clutch pack in a 4L60E, 4L65E, 4L70E or 4L60 automatic transmission needs service, getting the bronze plate right is not a detail you can skip. This is a single bronze plate designed specifically for the TH700R4 platform, covering applications from 1980 forward, sold individually so you can replace exactly what your rebuild calls for without buying components you already have.

The 4L60 family has been in production long enough that technicians working these units have seen every failure mode: glazed bronze surfaces that cause 3rd gear slip, cracked plates from overheating, and clutch packs that never fully recovered because a worn plate was reused during an otherwise thorough overhaul. This plate addresses that directly. It is cut to OE dimensions for the 3rd and 4th apply circuit, which means it drops into the clutch pack stack without modification and contacts the mating steel across its full working face.

At REMCO, parts like this are pulled, inspected and packed individually against a piece list. The operation has been running since 1991 focused entirely on automatic transmission components, and every order ships with a contents list inside the box so you can confirm what arrived before the unit goes on the bench.

Part number ships at 1 lb. It does not include friction discs, steel separator plates, seals, o-rings, Automatic Transmission Filter or band. If your rebuild requires those items, they need to be sourced separately. Before placing the order, cross-check the transmission identification tag on the unit to confirm it is a 4L60E, 4L65E, 4L70E or 4L60 and that the production year falls within the 1980-and-up range covered by this part.

• Restoring 3rd or 4th clutch engagement on a 4L60E, 4L65E, 4L70E or 4L60 unit starts with the right friction material; a worn or glazed bronze plate causes slipping, harsh shifts and accelerated clutch pack damage that spreads to adjacent components.
• This listing is for one bronze plate only. It does not include friction discs, steel plates, seals, gaskets, Automatic Transmission Filter, band or any other clutch pack component. Verify your full parts list before ordering to avoid a second trip.
• The bronze plate material used here matches OE clutch pack geometry for the TH700R4 family, which means it seats correctly against the mating steel without requiring machining or shimming of the apply piston area.
• Contents: one bronze plate for 3rd and 4th clutch application, TH700R4 platform. Shipped weight 1 lb. No additional hardware included. Part number for your records.
• Before ordering, confirm the transmission code stamped on your unit matches 4L60E, 4L65E, 4L70E or 4L60, and verify the model year falls within the 1980-and-up application range for this plate.
