YT061 SUBURBAN 6L80 REMOVAL 090122
This time, I have a AC garage to keep my work space clean, and stay out of the heat. Here is my procedure for removing the 6L80 Transmission from start to finish. Very easy to do, just need less than $100 worth of materials and a few hours of time. 1 jack, a few concrete blocks, 2 ratchet straps. a few sockets, and patience.

    Is there a tactical advantage to using straps instead a transmission jack?

    Probably not. But, I since I don't pull Transmissions everyday the straps do almost as good of a job lifting it up there. I really depends, I might actually prefer to use straps, going at it alone like that. I can control it pretty good with those straps, and have never used a Transmission Jack so I really couldn't say for sure. Thanks 👍

    Do you have to pull the pan off to get it out?

    Let me think for a sec... I don't think so. It's been like a year and a half, but if I remember correverything can be done from the outside. If you keep the pan on it , though you have the weight of 10 quarts of fluid(roughly) That adds to the weight of the transmission which is already heavy enough. I believe you're gonna want to remove the pan because you do have to pull the dipstick out. And if i'm not mistaken the fluid Level is higher than that when it's full. So when you pull the dipstick , you're gonna drain fluid. Also gets in the way quite a bit When you're trying to get the linkage, electrical plug, and other Things like that disconnected.

    Is this before or after those janky mechanics messed things up ?

    This is after. That was back in February. Wait till you see the front gear set. It's all chewed up. So far, I've seen that the front planetary thrust bearing got toasted, and I think that caused the gears to get messed up. I didn't go deeper yet because I started disassembling and remembered I needed to make a video. I'm going to continue in the morning and should be uploading it tomorrow.
