5 Service Notes
In the interests of safety to personnel, equipment and to the vehicle and its components, read and adhere to the following
notes whenever servicing operations are to be carried out on the Hydra-matic 4L60E automatic transmission. In addition,
some of this information also refers to sound workshop practices and, to achieve the design life of affected components.
Fasteners
• Always reinstall fasteners in the same locations as they were removed.
• If a fastener requires replacement, always use a part of the correct part number or of equal size and strength or
stronger.
General Workshop Practice
• Keep work area and tools clean.
• To avoid unnecessary contamination, always clean the exterior of the transmission before removing any parts.
• Do not use wiping cloths or rags because of the risk of lint being trapped in the transmission.
• Do not use solvents on:
• neoprene seals,
• composition faced clutch plates, or
• thrust washers.
• Always wear eye protection when using compressed air.
• Blow out all passages with compressed air. Only probe small passages with soft, thin wire.
• Handle parts with care to avoid nicks and scratches.
• Do not remove Teflon oil seal rings unless damaged or performing a complete overhaul.
• Expand internal snap rings and compress external snap rings to maximise retention and security.
• Lubricate all internal parts with transmission fluid (only use Dexron® III), as they are being installed.
• When installing cap screws into aluminium castings:
• always use a torque wrench and
• stripped or damaged threads in aluminium castings may be reconditioned by using commercially available
thread inserts.
• Once removed, replace all gaskets, seals and O-rings with new parts.
• Always use seal protectors where indicated and do not use gasket cement or sealant on any joined face unless
specified to do so.
