4L80E [97-UP] Automatic Transmission Friction Clutch Pack GEN 2

When a 4L80E or 4L85E automatic transmission starts slipping under load or shows delayed engagement, worn friction material in the clutch pack is one of the first things a transmission technician checks. This GEN 2 blue friction clutch pack is built to address exactly that failure point in units from 1995 onward, and it ships as a single, ready-to-install piece without bundled components that may inflate cost or create confusion about what you are actually receiving.

The GEN 2 call-out is not a marketing label. The 4L80E and 4L85E were produced across more than one generation, and the clutch pack geometry changed between them. Installing a non-GEN 2 friction pack into a GEN 2 unit is a documented cause of premature failure and comeback jobs. This piece is matched to the second-generation configuration so you are not guessing at fitment.

At REMCO, parts are. Each piece is handled individually, checked against a part listing, and that listing goes into the box when it ships. REMCO has worked in automatic transmissions since 1991, and that process has not changed.

This listing is for one friction clutch pack, 3.95 lb. It does not include steel reaction plates, seals, gaskets, an Automatic Transmission Filter, a band, or any other rebuild hardware. If you need those components, they must be sourced separately. Read your rebuild parts list carefully before placing this order.

Confirm the unit code is 4L80E or 4L85E, confirm it is a GEN 2 unit, and confirm the build year is 1995 or later. Those three data points determine whether this part applies to your job.

• This single GEN 2 blue friction clutch pack addresses worn or glazed clutch surfaces in 4L80E and 4L85E units built from 1995 onward, restoring clutch engagement and preventing slipping caused by degraded friction material.
• This listing covers one friction clutch pack only. It does not include steel plates, sealing rings, Automatic Transmission Filters, gaskets, bands, or any other rebuild components. Verify your full parts list before ordering to avoid an incomplete repair.
• The GEN 2 designation matters here: this friction pack is specific to the second-generation configuration of these units. Using a non-GEN 2 piece in a GEN 2 application is a common source of clutch pack failure, and this part addresses that directly.
• One blue friction clutch pack, 3.95 lb. Each unit is pulled and checked against its part listing at the time it is packed at the REMCO facility, and the part list ships inside the box.
• Before ordering, confirm your transmission code is 4L80E or 4L85E, that the unit is GEN 2, and that the build year falls within the 1995-and-up range. A mismatch on generation will result in incorrect fitment.
