I was not expecting Elvis to be showing me how to pull the transmission out of my truck GREAT VIDEO!

One hell of a transmission man. Never seen somebody work that smooth. Great video. Good job and Thanks

Nice job. It's clear that this gentleman has done more than a few of these. There was only one thing I needed to see and that's what happens when you unbolt the transfer case, now I see that I can just muscle it out and rotate it sideways to clear the cross members behind it. The reason why I already know the rest is because I did "take the cab off". Mine is a 2002 Avalanche 1500 4x4 and it is pretty much identical in terms of power train. I bought a new frame because the old one rusted away, and I did a frame off restoration. I pulled the entire power train in one piece from the bare chassis and reinstalled it the same way from above before rolling it back under the body. I put a top end rebuild in the engine and I thought the trans was good, but I turned out to be wrong driving the truck a couple months after getting it back on the road. Now I have to pull the trans from underneath the hard way. One thing though, when I had the whole engine/trans assembly out and it was time to separate the bell housing from the engine, that SOB was literally fused to the engine with corrosion between the iron of the block and the aluminum of the bell housing. I had to do some fierce hammering with some fine wedge tools all the way around, and it took a long time to get it to even look like I was making a gap. I was afraid I was going to break the bell housing. A normal pry bar was not going to do it. I had to use tools with a knife edge and hammer the crap out of them to the point where the tools were ruined just to make a gap. I'm telling you, I've had a few transmissions out of cars and trucks, and I had never seen anything like this. That thing was literally fused with corrosion. There is no way I would have been able to separate it from under the truck, it was literally a job where you'd have to take the cab off. When I bolted it back together I slathered the mating surfaces with anti seize. I use anti seize by the tub. Anything that doesn't get locking compound gets anti seize. Also I've found that those GM quick connect fittings for the cooler lines go in and out real easy, IF you have them dead straight. If there is any angle at all they won't budge, and that goes for pushing them in as well as pulling out. If they won't budge then you have to flex the line a little and change your angle of force. And those black plastic rings that retain the Jesus clips are also important, they keep the clip from working out sideways. I know I guy working as a tech at a dealership, last year he showed me a complete rebuild he was doing on a later model 10 speed, and he told me the root cause of the breakdown was the cooler line working loose on the highway.

Boy your good at that. No fooling around. Thank you

You make that look easy I’m taking one out my truck it’s hard

Was it possible to have removed the last transfer case support mount bolt by tapping it out using a drift pin punch lightly tapping on it? It looked like it was clear enough of the exhaust ? Hard to tell from the video but from the perspective of watching the video it looked like it could have been knocked out without removing the exhaust from the manifolds ? Maybe it would have wedged the bolt? I would have attempted that first. Excellent video.

Thank you for using a decent camera.

Some early 98-2000 models had torque converter bolts without the external hex and had to use a 10 mm Allen socket ...they were a mother f...er.. so tight and bolt heads had soft metal that would strip out when you tried to break one loose...I usually just air chiseled them off and put new ones in with the external hex.

The best things I’ve found to get those out are the same ones used to take the bolts out that hold the bell housing to the case. Snap on’s socket is the torx 50IP. It will go in perfect and won’t strip out as long as you have it in there flush.

Great video. One thing I didn’t see you do or say to do is mark the drive shaft before removal. To put it back in the exact same spot.

Chevrolet/GM is aware of the problems, but keeps pushing these Transmissions out. Mary Bara needs her Corporate Million Dollar Bonus each year.

My truck has gears only park makes. A whining noise when first started then goes away I’m just curious if its the trourq converter or the transmission itself

You should heat the PRNDL switch plugs before removal in order to avoid breaking the connectors. @ 31 minutes. Everything else in this video is straightforward wrenching but damn that last tip was worth it

They are similar. The 4L80 has a dust cover that you have to take loose to get to the converter bolts. The exhaust runs right under the cover. I usually take the cover loose, and take the starter out and you can get to the converter bolts and the transmission will slide out without removing exhaust. It would be easier to take the exhaust out if your on the ground. My extension is a 30” or 32”. It’s a 1/2” down to 38” drive. They’re really handy. I use it a lot.

On the 4L60 there will be. There isn’t a real seal on the 4x4 4L60. The front desk on the transfer case is a double sided seal. It’s supposed to keep fluid in the transmission.
