Hands down one of the greatest videos on the YT. I have watched it probably 25 times and built 2 transmissions along with it. I can’t thank you nearly enough for doing these vids. A real game changer that really saved my bacon in remote Alaska. The current tranny is my daily driver I’m about to put the pump bolts in, and the first one was my project truck I’ll be covering on another channel I’m starting out of inspiration from you and others covering my truck projects from engine builds to body fab. Kudos and thanks again!

I’m just over 3k miles since my rebuild and all seems good! Thanks again for the great video series. One thing I learned was I didn’t save myself anything by going with a cheaper rebuild kit. I ended up needing to order a lot of one off items and probably spent more than if I just bought the rebuild kit you suggested…and I spent more time waiting for every shipment. Thanks again!👍

I followed all the steps and everything was great but I had no reverse when I put it back. I had to pull the trans again and redo the pump stator rings, this is where the reverse magic happens apparently, I replaced the old rings and didn't have the proper tool to resize them once I got them on and tried to do it makeshift with hose clamps and a plastic sleeve wrapped around them to go in between, I compressed them too much and they were not making a good enough seal on the shaft. I pulled the pump and used the $40 Ring Buddy tool to resize them properly. I learned that if the pump goes in too easy on reassembly, something is wrong, if it goes in too hard, something is wrong and you will tear or nick the seal if you force it. Pay attention on this part guys. Also the input drum seals were the hardest part of the job really, a PITA to get that piston back in with both seals intact. I used some cable ties to shrink down the seal on the outside one then put it in the freezer for 20 minutes so it would hold that shape until it warmed up. I used a water bottle top cut down to size to put over the middle shaft for the inside one. The piston slipped right in. I tore a seal on the first attempt using the feeler gauge method so be careful either way. Overall great video.

@@cjf3838 I went back in my head through each step and remember checking all my pistons with air before putting the pump back in, I also remember the pump being a little too easy to drop back in and knew I used a homebrew makeshift tool to compress the rings, watched a few people putting pumps back in on YT and knew I should have felt some resistance from the rings. It was an educated guess and when I put the actual tool on it after pulling it apart again, I knew immediately that was the issue because the play on the shaft was noticeable.

Great stuff fellas! I'm about 2/3 done with my 4l60e rebuild. Thanks to finding your video after it lost reverse I decided to jump on this rebuild myself. First time for me and it's going great. Quick question if you don't mind: I replaced the bushing in the sungear. I don't believe it needed it but i did it anyway because you said to. My kit had a wider bushing for this sungear. I understand that is normal in some kits and does actually provide a performance benefit. Anyway after replacing the bushing I could not get it to fit back on the shaft. After working it a good bit and cussing it a whole lot I finally got it on bit was brutally tight. I banged on it with a hammer like Jimmy at Transmission Bench recommends. This did help but the sungear is still not as loose as yours. I can turn it on the shaft by hand but it will not spin wit outu constant force being applied. Is this going to work or should I take it all back apart and try something different? Thanks man!

@dudewecanfixit

3 жыл бұрын

Sorry for the late reply. I would try tapping it with the hammer some more to try to loosen it up a bit. The most important thing is being able to assemble and disassemble it without much force because that is where you could scratch the surface of the bearing and cause premature failure. If it won't get any looser, I would apply some trans-jell before assembly and let it roll. It should wear in fairly quickly once the transmission is installed. Best of luck!

Exactly! Let the people have information!

I have a 2000 GMC Jimmy ( 4l60e ) that lost all forward gears. I bought it as a parts truck for my Sonoma. However, now that I've just had open heart surgery and I'm recovering from a quadruple bypass I find myself bored to the point that I am seriously considering trying to do this. I've done a lot of shade tree mechanic in but I've never touched a transmission. If nothing else I figure I'll know how much harder it is to do than to watch. Great video by the way.

That's the right attitude! Definitely invest in some good snap ring pliers and a cage spring compressor, or just build the compressor like in the video. You can find a decent cage spring compressor on Amazon for $40

Thank you so much for doing this video! It gave me the small details and confidence to take mine out and rebuild it now. Where did you buy the rebuild kit from. I found one from jegs and it says 1997 to 2003 and im wondering if that is the late model 4L60E rebuild kit?

I have a 4l60e on my 2005 Yukon and I’m getting some drips out the yoke weep hole by the ujoint. Upon removal of the housing I noticed I didn’t have the sleeve with oring, shouldn’t it be in there since my slip yoke has that hole on it? If not, should/could I add the sleeve?

I don't remember the specs off the top of my head

I lost my OD gear (it still shifts into 4 but slips, feels like 3rd with no power) so ive been driving around in 3rd just fine. Still locks up good in third too. I have a scanner and trans temp never goes above 70c/160f with an aux cooler. Not sure what to do but this makes me wanna pull a junkyard transmission for rebuild. But I also know this is the result of a bad final ratio since i put 33" tires on my blazer with 3.42 gears and could just happen again.

@dudewecanfixit

It could be the lockup clutch slipping in your torque converter.

My 3rd and 4th clutch plate stack out of a 2011 Silverado 1500 with a 4L60/65 only had 5 steels and 6 frictions and my final gap is much bigger than yours. Is this ok? I see that they can be model specific. @video time 50:06 . I tried fitting a worn out steel plus the extra friction I got and I would have to compressing the final spacer a lot to fit the retaining ring.

@dudewecanfixit

3 жыл бұрын

I would not force anything in there, it should have a small amount of play. I think there were some revisions in the transmissions in 2009. Sorry, but I'm not certain how your 2011 is set up. I would see how many of each came out and replace with the same number of each. But, you need to find someone with more experience on the newer models.

when you did the second set of clutch, did you not measure for clearance play after putting the snap ring?

@dudewecanfixit

10 ай бұрын

I believe I mentioned the clearance after each step

So I have a 4l60e in my truck. I know because I paid to have it rebuilt just three years ago. Seems like all the gears went out at about 15mph and none of them worked until I turned the truck off and waited a few. Then I was able to drive the few hundred feet back home, but I couldn't reverse until I turned it off and waited again. The fluid on the dipstick looks straight black. I need to go by this sweet video and rebuild it, don't I?

@dudewecanfixit

2 жыл бұрын

Possibly, but maybe not yet. Dark transmission fluid is actually very common in higher mileage vehicles. It sounds like you have an electrical issue. What year is your truck? If it's a 95 and older, you should have a separate transmission control module that may need to be adjusted or replaced. Also, make sure your reverse lights come on when in reverse. If they don't, you'll need to adjust or replace your neutral safety switch

Thanks for great rebuild video. I'll be rebuilding my 4l60e soon.

You can try to reuse it and if it doesn't work out, you can just drop the pan and change it under your truck.

I just re-installed transmission, and now it does not try to shift to 3rd gear. 1995 Suburban 315k miles I took on the rebuild because I lost 3rd gear and just like everything says the 3-4 clutch pack was fried. I'm sure since it used to try and shift to 3rd, this change is due to a mistake I made. Any recommendation on where to look? Absolutely loved the video and appreciate all the good information, thank you for making it.

There are so many little things that it could be I cannot begin to diagnose it. Maybe check with a local transmission shop.

I noticed you did not ream out the bore and put oversized torque converter regulator valve in. I am hesitant to do this as well (I have 05 Suburban) due to the $80 specialty tool. I did not have the 1870 code before, and am wondering how critical this replacement is?

I'm going to watch this completely to see what's all involved cause I'm thinking of doing this to my 2002 camaro transmission. It pulls but the reverse is no pulling at all.

Just the other day the reverse stopped pulling. No loud pop or anything. I did notice that the fluid level was low and I added some fluid but after pouring it in it looked burnt. The seal on the quart was unbroken but i think it was a quart I had someone work on my Tahoe before. I'm going to change the fluid and filter Wednesday and I hope that fixes my issue. My car is a 2002 camaro with only 87k miles so I don't see how the sun shell has went bad or at least I hope not. I always baby the car. I'm the second owner and bought this car with 42k miles on her. Thanks for posting this video. I still have a hour to go but what is the cost of a rebuild kit with a upgraded sun shell? I'm trying to compare the cost of me doing it and then paying someone to do it. So far this doesn't really look that hard of a job. Mainly just looks like slow and steady work. Check and then double check and keep installing.
