When the forward direct or low reverse clutch packs in a 3N71A automatic transmission show signs of wear, glazing, or heat damage, replacing the friction discs with the correct thickness and count is the foundation of a solid rebuild. This kit was assembled at REMCO specifically for that job, grouping the two friction sets this unit requires into a single box with a parts list inside so the technician can count and verify before touching the transmission.
The box holds 16 friction discs split across two distinct specifications. Ten of them are M41 forward direct clutch frictions at .063 inch thickness, and the remaining six are L4N71B L3N71B low reverse clutch frictions at .075 inch thickness. Those two measurements are not interchangeable, and having both packed together under catalog number N4AEL means one order covers both circuits without hunting for each separately.
What this kit does not include is equally important to know before placing the order: there are no steel plates, no seals or gaskets, no filter, and no band in this box. It is a friction-only kit. If the rebuild also calls for steals or soft parts, those need to be sourced separately. REMCO has been working in automatic transmissions since 1991 and kits are put together piece by piece here.
The application is the 3N71A, cataloged as N4AEL, covering units from 1971 forward. Confirm the code stamped on the transmission case before ordering, as friction thickness and disc count vary between related units and an incorrect match will create the same symptoms the rebuild is meant to fix. Shipping weight is 3 lb.
- Covers the clutch friction needs of the 3N71A automatic transmission, addressing worn or glazed disc packs that cause slipping or harsh engagement in forward direct and low reverse circuits.
- This kit contains friction discs only. It does not include steel plates, seals, gaskets, filter, or band. Review your parts list before ordering to confirm you are not missing additional components.
- Two distinct friction specifications in one box: 10 forward direct clutch discs at .063 inch thickness and 6 low reverse clutch discs at .075 inch thickness, matched to the separate demands of each clutch pack in this unit.
- Exact contents: 10 x M41 forward direct clutch friction (.063) and 6 x L4N71B L3N71B low reverse clutch friction (.075), 16 discs total. Assembled and verified at REMCO against the included parts list. Ships at 3 lb.
- Before ordering, confirm the transmission code on the unit matches 3N71A and cross-reference the catalog number N4AEL. Disc count and thickness specs differ between applications and variants.
