CDT456L3/90 (4-5-6 CLUTCH KIT)
(8) Alto G3® Clutches
(10) Heat-Treated Steels (varying thicknesses)
(1) Stepped Apply Plate
(1) Wide Backing Plate
(1) Snap Ring
2 Hi-Per Blue® Bonded Pistons
CDT456L3/90 offers 45% more clutch apply area than stock. G3® friction material is formulated to achieve minimal wear and maximize heat resistance. Our steels are heat-treated and cooled in air, producing a stable and consistent plate that resists warping and ensures smooth clutch operation. This process improves durability and promotes even wear when paired with premium friction materials. Hi-Per Blue® Pistons are manufactured with upgraded High Performance Blue AEM material for superior thermal and chemical resistance, with better fit and performance.
104690-45 (1-PIECE BILLET INTERMEDIATE SHAFT & 4-5-6 CLUTCH HUB)
One-piece 300M steel forging is heat treated and shot-peened for maximum durability. This shaft doubles oil flow to the clutch pack for improved resistance to heat and longer clutch life. The hub is designed for use with Powerglide-style, 45-tooth frictions. This shaft is designed for use without OE dampner.

The valve-body and pump modifications in our 6L90 Level 3 Performance Rebuild Kits are a carefully selected combination of TransGo and Sonnax components. We chose these brands because, through testing and experience, they deliver the best results for pressure control, shift quality, and long-term durability. Each part is designed to work together as a system, ensuring maximum performance and reliability. For this reason, we don’t recommend substituting or adding other components, as doing so can upset the hydraulic balance and reduce the effectiveness of the kit.
CDTMKL3/90 (MASTER KIT)
(1) High-performance overhaul kit engineered utilizing premium materials for racing.
(1) Bonded OE Valve Body Plate
(1) Bushing Kit (includes extension housing bushings)
(1) Pan Gasket
(1) Filter
(1) Oversized Pump Washer
We do not include welded hubs in Kit. In the beginning of R&D on this transmission we thought this area needing strengthening. However, in all the units that we've rebuilt we've NEVER seen one broken. Therefore, we deemed it unnecessary. Also, we do not include a billet pump rotor because the factory pump rotor has proven itself reliable (we have never seen one broken) unlike the 4L60E.
PLEASE NOTE: GM has a transmission that has the same outside dimensions as a 6L90 but uses one less clutch in all the clutch housings compared to a true 6L90. We call this transmission a 6L90LCC (less clutch capacity). Please refer to "Stock Clutch Capacity Chart" and "Length of Main Case Chart" on the "Transmission Specs" tab below to determine if you have a 6L90 or 6L90LCC. When ordering this part, please indicate in the Notes textbox above that you have a 6L90LCC. If you are unable to determine if you have a 6L90 or 6L90LCC, we will determine which transmission you have from the VIN.
We recommend the Billet Reinforced Output Carrier for vehicles producing over 750 RWHP, Nitrous or Heavy Vehicles (including trucks, SUV's and CTS-V's.) Note: We have seen the stock output carrier (planetary) break in vehicles with less than 750 RWHP. We do not warranty the stock output carrier (planetary.) We highly recommend that you purchase the billet reinforced output carrier. We offer a 6L90 Level 4 Kit that includes this part.
