4R44E 4R55E 5R55E [97-UP] Automatic Transmission Friction Module

Worn frictions change the end play of the pack, which delays apply and puts more heat into every shift after that.

4R44E Friction Module. This friction set restores the clutch capacity the pack was built with.

The spline fit decides whether the disc carries load across its full face. Shipping weight is 2 lb.

The parts list below is exactly what ships. Compare it against your teardown before ordering.

REMCO has supplied automatic transmission parts since 1991, and every order ships with its part listing so the receiving technician can check what arrived against what was ordered.

• Direct, forward, and overdrive clutch friction replacement in one box - covers all three clutch packs for a complete friction service on 4R44E, 4R55E, and 5R55E units built 1997 and later.
• This kit contains friction plates ONLY - no steel plates, no seals, no Automatic Transmission Filter, no bands, and no gaskets are included. Verify your complete parts list before ordering to avoid a second trip.
• All 15 plates are spiral-grooved at .069 in thickness - that groove pattern promotes fluid film across the full face of the plate during engagement, which matters on high-cycle clutch packs like direct and forward.
• Kit contains exactly 15 friction plates: 6 direct clutch, 6 forward clutch, and 3 overdrive clutch, all spiral groove at .069 in. Assembled and checked against the parts list at REMCO before shipping. Total weight: 2 lb.
• Before ordering, confirm the transmission code stamped on your unit matches 4R44E, 4R55E, or 5R55E and that the build date falls within the 1997-and-later range covered by this application.
