When the Stage 1 clutch pack in a 4R70W or AODE automatic transmission shows wear, slippage, or glazing, replacing the friction plates is the targeted correction for that specific failure. This listing is for the red friction plates that go into that clutch pack position, sold as a standalone set without any additional components.
The 4R70W and AODE are related units with a wide production span, and clutch plate condition in the Stage 1 pack directly affects shift feel and holding capacity. Red friction material behaves differently from standard paper-based plates, and technicians rebuilding these units sometimes specify it for particular applications or rebuild stages. The application range for this part covers units from 1980 through current production.
Before placing an order, take a moment to read the casting code or identification tag on the transmission case itself. The model year of the vehicle and the specific clutch pack location you are working on both matter when selecting friction plates. This is not a complete rebuild kit. It does not include steel separator plates, an Automatic Transmission Filter, bands, seals, or any other components. If your rebuild requires those parts, they need to be sourced separately.
The item ships at 2.6 lb. No installation instructions are included with this part, as it is intended for technicians already familiar with 4R70W and AODE clutch pack assembly procedures.
- Worn or slipping clutch engagement leads to delayed shifts and internal damage; these red friction plates address that failure point directly in Stage 1 clutch pack service.
- This listing covers friction plates only. It does not include steel separator plates, seals, bands, Automatic Transmission Filter, or any other components. Confirm what your rebuild needs before ordering.
- Stage 1 red friction material is formulated for clutch pack applications in the 4R70W and AODE units, offering a distinct friction characteristic compared to standard paper-based plates.
- Content: one set of red friction plates for the Stage 1 clutch pack position. Item weight is 2.6 lb. No additional hardware or gaskets are included in this listing.
- Before ordering, verify the transmission model code on the unit itself, the model year of the vehicle, and the specific clutch pack position you are rebuilding to confirm this part matches your application.
