Caution
In order to reduce the risk of personal injury or property damage, carefully observe
the following information:
The service manuals of General Motors Corporation are intended for use by
professional, qualified technicians. Attempting service procedures without the
appropriate training, tools, and equipment could cause personal injury, vehicle
damage, or improper vehicle operation. Proper vehicle service is important to the
safety of the service technician and to the safe, reliable operation of all motor
vehicles. If a replacement part is needed, use the same part number or an equivalent
part. Do not use a replacement part of lesser quality.
The service manuals contain effective methods for performing service procedures.
Some of the procedures require the use of tools that are designed for specific
purposes.
Accordingly, any person who intends to use a replacement part, a service procedure,
or a tool that is not recommended by General Motors, must first establish that there
is no jeopardy to personal safety or the safe operation of the vehicle.
The service manuals contain Cautions and Notices that must be observed carefully
in order to reduce the risk of personal injury. Improper service may cause vehicle
damage or render the vehicle unsafe. The Cautions and Notices are not all-inclusive.
General Motors can not possibly warn of all the potentially hazardous consequences
that may result by not following the proper service procedures.
The service manuals cover service procedures for vehicles that are equipped with
Supplemental Inflatable Restraints (SIR). Failure to observe all SIR Cautions and
Notices could cause air bag deployment, personal injury, or otherwise unneeded SIR
repairs. Refer to the SIR component and wiring location views in Restraints before
performing a service on or around SIR components or wiring.
If multiple vehicle systems are in need of repair, including SIR, repair the SIR system
first to reduce the risk of accidental air bag deployment and personal injury.

Support Seal Staking Procedure
This procedure was added to improve

the retention of the Front Differential
Transfer Drive Gear Support Seal to the
Support Assembly.
The DT-49131 Seal Staking tool is used
to stake the seal into the support
assembly. It should be used on all 6T70
model year transmissions.
The stake does not need to be deep. It
should distort the metal a slight amount.
Compare the new stake marks to the
production staking marks on the
support.
The production staking marks can be
cleaned up using emery cloth or
equivalent prior to installing the new seal.
TECH TIP
When staking the support seal,
do NOT stake the seal near the 3
lube holesor a restriction
could occur.
J 46627-A Seal Installer
Participant Guide
If the Seal Installer tool is not available at

your dealership, set the seal below the
surface slightly, but do not seat the seal.
The tool is designed to install the seal
slightly below the surface, but not down
far enough to completely seat it.
If the seal is installed too deep into its
bore, it could deform the seal.
If this happens, fluid pressure will push
the seal out of the bore, causing a
catastrophic transmission failure.

removed from the Valve Body Assembly.
Any damage near the pressure control
solenoid (PCS) feed hole could cause
leaking around the PCS switch seal.
Replace as necessary.
Inspect the pressure switch manifold
seals for damage. Replace the control
valve assembly as necessary.
NOTE: This also applies to the 6T40

Ring and New Quad Seal
Procedure:
Conditions for Leaking Fluid Seal

Rings
The fluid seal rings may be leaking if:
Delayed/extended or delayed with harsh
feel initial Park to Drive and/or Reverse to
Drive shifts, that are more likely to occur
when the transmission temperature is
below approximately 40C (104F).
Harsh or flaring 2-3 shifts that are more
likely to occur when the transmission fluid
temperature is in the approximately 0C
(32F) to 40C (104F) temperature
range, but can be present at any
temperature.
Harsh 2-3 shifts that are more likely to
occur at less than 50 percent throttle
position.
NOTE: Vehicles built January through
August 2007 are more likely to have
leaking fluid seal rings.
Be sure to follow this diagnostic or

repair process thoroughly and
complete each step.
Participant Guide
Install the first seal ring with the

identification marks facing up.
Then install the remaining two
seal rings with the identification
marks facing down.
Important: When inspecting the 1-2-3-4

and 3-5-R clutch fluid seal rings (230)
there probably will not be visible signs
that the seal rings are damaged.
If any of the conditions above describe the
flare/harsh 2-3 shift condition, replace the 1-23-4 and 3-5-R clutch fluid seal rings. DO NOT
replace the valve body or Transmission
Control Module.
TECH TIP
The 1-2-3-4 and 3-5-R clutch
fluid seal rings must be properly
oriented when they are
installed.
Incorrect installation could lead
to fluid leakage and shift
concerns. Refer to Service
Information for installation
directions.
If the condition exhibited is resolved

without completing every step, the
remaining steps do not need to be
performed.

Caution: Valve springs can be tightly compressed. Use care when removing retainers and
plugs. Personal injury could result.
Notice: After cleaning the transmission components, allow to air dry. Do not use cloth or
paper towels in order to dry any transmission components. Lint from the towels can cause
component failure.
Notice: Do not reuse cleaning solvents. Previously used solvents may deposit sediment,
which may damage the component.

Control Valve Body Assembly

Reconditioning Procedure cont.
Inspection Procedure
1. Using the disassembled view, inspect each bore for freedom of valve(s) movement
and evidence of debris. Pay particular attention to those valves related to the
customers concern.
2. Verify movement of the valves in their normal installed position. Valves may become
restricted during removal or installation. This is normal due to small tolerances
between the valves and bores.
3. If a valve is restricted and cannot be corrected by cleaning the valve and bore, replace
the valve body. Describe the restricted valve on the repair order.
Disassembly/Reassembly for Cleaning Debris
1. If a valve is restricted by a metal burr from machining that bore, remove the valve and
burr. Inspect the movement in the valves normal position. If no other debris or
restrictions are found, reassemble the valve body and install in the transmission.
2. If the valve body has been contaminated with debris from another transmission
component failure, disassemble all bores for complete cleaning of all valve body
components. Keeping individual bore parts separated will make reassembly easier.
Use the following illustrations for positive identification and location of individual parts.
3. Using GM Brake Clean, or equivalent, in a safe and clean environment (clean
aluminum pan), clean the valve body and dry it with compressed air. Use appropriate
eye protection.
4. Clean individual valve body components with GM Brake Clean, or equivalent. Coat
each valve with clean ATF and reassemble in each bore. Check each valve for free
movement during assembly of each bore.
Important: Position the valve body as shown in the following illustrations for positive
identification and location of individual parts.
REMINDER: Movement of the

valves in the Valve Body should be
verified in their normal installed
position.

Participant Guide
This change adds flat filter screens to the

bonded spacer plate assembly to
eliminate snap in filters.
The current Spacer Plates, Spacer Plate
Gaskets, and the service kits that contain
them, will be exhausted on Past Model
(2006 and prior) 4L60, 4L65 and 4L70
transmissions.
Once the inventory for the current Spacer
Plates, Spacer Plate Gaskets and the
service kits that contain them has been
exhausted, past model 4L60, 4L65 and
4L70 transmissions will be serviced with
the new Spacer Plate Assembly.
The new service kits contain the new
Spacer Plate Assembly.
To minimize past model cost impact, the
current Spacer Plate Gaskets will be
maintained for service of individual Spacer
Plate Gaskets for 2006 and prior 4L60,
4L65, and 4L70 models.
There is a new bolt with a Mortorq internal

drive design for the 4L60 bell housing to
case bolts. The new DT 49037 Mortorq
Socket Drive Special Tool is required.
The current internal drive is Torx-plus.
Mortorq internal drive improves extraction
force for bolt removal.
The new bolts will back-service. There
will be a change in torque specification.

Cooler Line Fittings
This change revises the 4L60 and 4L80

cooler line fittings to improve performance
(due to the use of an external O-ring and
an improved internal O-ring material),
corrosion resistance. It allows the
platform to use both the short and long
end forms.
Past models will be serviced with new
cases and fittings. Past model parts will
be maintained.
The new aluminum cooler line fittings (2)
cannot be used on earlier cases because
the threaded hole is not the same size.
The previous design (1) will continue to be
available through Service Parts Operation.
Service cases will be the new case and
fittings. The cases with the previous
thread design will not be maintained for
service.
The connection on the hose side will
accept both the short snout and the newer
longer snout cooler hose assemblies.
The fittings have a new torque
specification of 20 Newton-meters (14
pounds-feet). They also have one inner
and one outer O-ring that are not serviced
separately.
The new thread size 9/16-18 was
implemented 11-29-07 (Julian date 333).
Can the new Cooler Line fittings be

used in place of the old style
fitting?
