Transparts Warehouse 4L60E Valve Body Separator Plate 46-PLT-96 — Tempered Steel, Rust-Resistant (1996–2006)

Transgo 46-PLT-96 is a tempered-steel valve body separator plate engineered to fit 4L60E-style transmissions from 1996–2006 and compatible TH700-R4 variants.

Designed as a direct-fit replacement or upgrade, this OE-referenced separator plate (46-PLT-96) from Transparts Warehouse provides a corrosion-resistant, durable interface inside the valve body for TH700-R4, TH-700, 4L60, 4L60E, 4L65E and 4L70E transmissions. Machined from rust-proof tempered steel in the United States, the plate helps maintain precise fluid pathways and consistent gasket sealing in automatic transmissions used across a wide range of GM applications.

How does this separator plate fit into a 4L60E valve body?

The separator plate sits between the valve body and the transmission case, routing hydraulic fluid through channels and cavities to control shift timing and pressure. Proper fitment keeps the valve body passages aligned and ensures solenoids and valves operate against a consistent surface.

• Direct OE reference: 46-PLT-96 for correct location and hole pattern.
• Tempered-steel construction resists deformation under pressure.
• Compatible with TH700-R4 / 4L60E family transmissions (1996–2006 era).

Will this plate work with my transmission model?

This separator plate is designed for the 4L60 family and earlier TH700-R4 variants—check model year and part interchange before ordering. Use it when the OE part number or cross-reference matches 46-PLT-96 to ensure hole patterns and port locations align.

• Fits 4L60, 4L60E, 4L65E, and 4L70E transmissions plus TH-700/TH700-R4 variants.
• Intended for 1996–2006 4L60E-era applications; confirm vehicle-specific compatibility.
• Universal tempering and finish for common valve-body layouts within this family.

What are the material and durability benefits?

Manufactured from tempered steel and finished to resist rust, this separator plate offers a long service life under typical transmission fluid and pressure conditions. The robust material reduces warping risk and helps preserve mating surfaces for consistent hydraulic performance.

• Tempered steel construction minimizes flex and wear over time.
• Rust-proof finish extends service life in humid or corrosive environments.
• Precision cut for consistent fitment and repeatable sealing against gaskets.

How should I use this part during a valve body rebuild?

Use this plate as a direct replacement during valve-body disassembly and reassembly or as part of a transmission rebuild kit. Clean mating surfaces, verify orientation and torque bolts to factory specs to prevent leaks and pressure loss.

• Inspect valve body and gaskets; replace any damaged seals before installation.
• Align ports carefully and torque fasteners to manufacturer specifications.
• Test for leaks and proper hydraulic operation before road use.

Who is this for: This Transgo 46-PLT-96 separator plate is aimed at professional mechanics, transmission rebuilders, and knowledgeable DIYers working on GM automatic transmissions from the 4L60 family (including TH700-R4 variants). If you need a durable, rust-resistant replacement plate with OE cross-reference compatibility for 1996–2006 4L60E-era valve bodies, this part is built to meet those requirements. Note: always confirm vehicle model, year and original part number before purchase to ensure correct fitment.
