The sane thing to do is rebuild the transmission while I have it apart. With that being said, a part of me wants to just change the broken sunshell and re-assemble with the original parts if all looks well. Not to save money, but just to see how much farther the 220k trans can go🤔 #morecontent

LsxMatt just changed out my tranny because I had the same issue, the reactive shell at the back of the Tranny busted and had bits of metal all in the pan and at the back of the tranny bought a rebuild kit and had someone put it in for me and haven’t had a problem ever since. Them 4Le60 are just something else man one thing after another. Note this was my second time doing this.

Gotta assume it was due for a rebuild anyway. Especially if it falls apart after such a casual/common mistake.

Damn Matt... Having the exact same vehicle, My Heart hurts seeing this. You have done such amazing work to her and having watched every step of the way, you MUST get her back up and running. I’ll definitely be following along.

Yeah that's the best and cheapest way to go Matt is rebuilding 💪

Matt definitely not boring...learned alot...keep sharing with us...we love this truck

As a Yukon owner, I've been waiting for a trans pull-rebuild-replace series! I'm sorry it happened to you and all, but it's going to make for a really good video series

I love your channel man I’ve actually being doing my Tahoe just like yours bought the same headlights, same wheels and going to order my tail lights next week and still got to get my build going

Bummer Matt. My work truck is a 2001 Tahoe 4x4 with 252000 on it. I pull a double axle trailer daily for work. 4500# with tools loaded. I bought the truck with 160000 on it. Original tranny. I’ve changed fluid/filter three times in my ownership. Admittedly, I am gentle during acceleration. However the Tahoe is rusting so two days ago I bought a 2003 z71, silver 4x4 to replace it. It’s really nice ...147000 miles... and I’m going to make it really really nice doing stuff like you have done. Glad you made it home without tow service. Hang in there. Love your videos.

DAMN! RIP - Hope you get her on the road soon!

damn ): i don't have a tahoe but i love watching people fix things lol. also when you opened the door for the first time my thought process was "damnn that interior thoooo! came out looking so clean!" tahoe looks brand new and im sure you'll get back on the road in no time. can't wait to see the next one

Sorry to hear that Matt , I Love your Z71 , My prayers are with you and if you have a Nationwide Insurance ..... They’ll Replace your transmission and give you a LIFETIME WARRANTY on the New Transmission..... I had No idea until My Transmission blew on My ‘95 Formula Convertible

Made similar mistake with mine and it revved but went no where. Shifted back to Neutral and back to reverse and it luckily worked and haven’t had issues sense. I’m at about 190k miles on my ‘04 Tahoe. Good seeing the process in preparation for mine going out! Lol.

I can't help but laugh when you said "that's not good" I've almost been there though. Went to put my 86 camaro in 4th and put it in 2nd lmaooo

Don't worry about that You're the best man 👑🌹

Hey Matt, make sure and investigate the PWM converter lockup system in the 4l60. The valve bore wears causing converter clutch chatter and eventual grenading of the unit. re-builders seem to be oblivious to this problem . there is a reamer and upsized valve available . you open up the bore in the valve body and put the bigger valve in.

Yep, that is a major problem with the 4L60E trans. My reverse went out, have all foward gears. Here in Alabama it is going to cost around $1800 to have it rebuilt. One outta a junk yard starts around $700. So you have to figure out if it is worth fixing.

Looking forward to this, would have definitely loved to see a 4l80e swap. Love your channel

Hated to hit the like button for this video because it sucks you killed that trans. Just bought a 4L80e for my 3rd gen yesterday for $300, so I’ll be rebuilding a trans also. Good luck, looking forward to seeing the videos👍🏻

DIY! Awesome 👍. I hate it for you but it will help so many.

Looking forward to seeing the trans removal and brakedown vid mate! 👍

Rebuild be good viewing, was due either way. U have the skills 💪👍😎

I've killed 3 4L60E's with my 2.2L S10 4cylinder... 2 were junkyard, but the original sunshells were a pattern failure waiting to happen! Doesn't matter if you abused it, but I rebuilt one after the last one died it's holding up pretty good.

Same sort of thing happened with me on my 04 trailblazer(4L60E Trans) but i lost all gears on a trip to NH well i lost them on the way back

Ah damn. Rebuild definitely seems like the best option

Sun shell is broken the splined shaft sheered off. Those transmissions I have had go to 250,000 miles 4l60e. It is well worth doing it right as those are GREAT trucks and last a long time.

Iam rocking 183,000 on my 05 avalanche hoping to roll past 220 before i need to rebuild mine but plan on doing the cooler upgrade soon no issues so far

Mine did that a few years back. Except I was gunning it from a stop up a hill in drive. BANG!! Lol. No reverse, and slipped like a mother when in drive. Paid 1100 to get mine rebuilt.

That sucks. I remember when my TBSS trans blew at 20k miles. Luckily I had warranty. They fixed it and I upgraded the valve body and the better sun gear.

Sorry to hear that, can you link to the rebuild kit?

My 08 Tahoe is starting to shift funny and felt like it slipped a little bit a couple of times. I looking to preemptively strike and replace mine before it goes and leaves me stranded. I was going to have it rebuild, but the only guy I trust in Orlando, and that built mine for years retired and sold his shop, and they longer rebuild, on replace with jasper. To the tune of $3300. Ya, fuck that! I have looked at every popular trans builder. I learned to stay the fuck away from monster based on their history with the BBB! I have settled on Gear Star. For like $2600, you get a nice upgraded trans with a decent converter, and the core charge is only $250.... I would recommend them to you!

I lost 2nd and fourth on my 05 z71 tahoe, possibilities band ? These trans are 50/50 would upgrade 4l 65e

I got a lifted 03 Tahoe on 37's Nitto MG's I got 257,000 out of my 4L60E before the sunshell broke I upgraded to a heavy duty 4L60E. My next upgrade I will be swapping the 5.3 to LS3 6.2

I just went through the same thing on a 03 Tahoe it’s fixed now

Do you still have the link for the trans rebuild kit?

Though the 4l80 is used on the 2500 hd and the suburbans. It would work just wouldn’t know how the Tahoe would drive

My s10 has the original 4l60 after 170 k and I shift it like that every day. Starting to wonder if I have the best running 4l60 out there.

Where did you pick up all this knowledge?

So did you get that parking space or not? 😁

I got my transmission for my tahoe at a junkyard for 230$

That really sucks man I’ve thought about a 4l80e swap once mine goes but I don’t think it’s worth it unless you boost it.

Not going to lie, when I shift in reverse, it takes like 1 and a half second to drop into gear. I have to be patient. I have the 4l60e. I might have to swap it too. Sometimes it does drop into reverse..like I have to shift into park then back to reverse so it’ll drop into gear. It’s gm quality. It makes sense if it’s got many miles. :)

My '04 Denali transmission blew at 133k. I bought it two months prior with 130k on it. Talk about perfect timing for previous owner......

That sucks. The old days of shifting from drive to reverse to drive again or "rocking" the car/truck back and forth to get unstuck are over with these new computer controlled transmissions. My wife got our 2014 Impala stuck in about 8-9" of snow at the bottom of our driveway during a blizzard last year. I do try to keep the driveway and sidewalks clear - but not in the middle of a blizzard. I went out to try to unstick the car the old fashioned way by rocking it back and forth. Needless to say, it didn't work. I'm sure I could have gotten the car unstuck if it had the old TH350 or TH400 in it but ended up digging and digging and digging...heavy, wet snow. Ugh. We just bought a 2015 4X4 Silverado. We won't be off roading much here in Wyoming, it's not why we got the truck, but we're less likely to get stuck in the driveway when the snow gets more than 6" deep. (Pretty frequent in Wyoming)

Swap a 4l80 in it. A much better transmission. Might wanna check your transfer case while it's out. Replaced my transmission in my trailblazer, 6 months later had to tear the transfer case out and replace that.

Well this is a good time to go to TCI transmission or B&m transmission or monster transmission

You can upgrade to a 4l65 just a couple of different parts

Thanks for sharing... I’ll be sure to NOT to do that to mine... lol

i’ve destroyed many 700r4 transmissions in my day. the 4l60es’ are not much better. they can handle regular driving but once they get up there in mileage you have to baby them.

Where did you pick up your rebuild kit? I have a 2000 Suburban the last 6 months 3rd and 4th have been slipping they finally went. I think I should do a heavy duty kit and a new sun shell while I am in there. My rear main has been leaking for a year and its due as well :). Thank you Matt!

U could find a used transmission around 50 or 60 thousand miles on it keep looking it's better then rebuilding it.

The good part is the transmissions cost so little these days its cheaper to swap it than fix it same with all engines for gmc, silverado, yukon, are all the same if its 99 to 2006 Ive seen people pay like 200 dollars for used transmission that works same with engines. The one in my truck has over 219k miles still works just fine once it breaks down I'm upgrading to a LS3 engine no point in fixing it unless its to learn to repair them.

Corvette servo sonnax sunshell Glad u had a +200,000 mile trans I made it to 270,000 before losing 1-4 after warmup plus reverse

Content!😤

Wow. No one ( as far as I can see ) asked the important question.....but did you get your parking spot? ;)

Yes the sunshell is done

Seems like everyone and their uncle has transmission problems with these trucks. Thankfully mine has held up pretty well but the previous owner put 3 transmissions in it (due to hauling a heavy trailer 3 hours one way every weekend). It’s been a great vehicle but I’d have a hard time buying another one with those crappy transmissions.

This happened to me before but I was lucky it just made a big squeak noise.

I hit 251000 miles in a 93 Yukon 4l60, no 1st 2nd or overdrive

Looks like it’s Neutral Safety Switch and transmission sensors need to be replaced.

Lots of info not boring at all reason for subscribing was for all the info u give

I’m at 180k on mine and I’ve done the “gas before gear” take off accidentally a few times.

I'm so sorry that the transmission broke on Tahiti

Built 4L80, and single turbo will make it a happy 500whp daily.

I blew my transmission on my 2004 suburban today!

Shop in Brighton Michigan will put in a nice rebuild for $1280...plus I'll buy you dinner.

Not to mention the gearing in the 80 blows. Its intolerable to the point you have to dump more money and time in to change the gearing. Been there, done that, never again. You can easily (and for less time/headache) build a 60 to handle anything you'd ever throw at it stock or with bolt ons, even if you haul a lot. You can build one to take as much or more than an 80 as well. Plenty of guys running 600+ horse LSA setups in their silverado/sierra/tahoe/yukon with built 4l60e and no issues. They just suck stock.

Amazing!

Why Is This? The Service Tire Monitor Message On Your Truck, Is Illuminated On The Dash, But The Low Tire light Isn’t, It Should Come On in Conjunction with The Tire Monitor

I did that on my 2013 RAM 1500 at around 410K miles, let it cool down and it works great after, put another 35K on it

I paid 1000 € for the repair, and after 20k kilometers I start to feel uncomfortable. sometimes 4 speeds do not turn on. good luck with your repair and we'll see how to do it yourself 👍

Dam Matt super sorry man, I know the trans sucks on these trucks.

I did this to my 04 Silverado but instead of D→R I did R→D and the truck went into a limp mode and it wouldn't do anything so I shut it off and put it in drive and everything was fine. But lesson learned not going to ever do that again 🤣

4l60e life!

Just doing a good 60e build is fine for that... it lasted 220K and if its still bombing around past 400K well then its done really well as a truck overall lol. The 80e is such a turd compared to a 60e especially with the weight of the Tahoe and a stock 5.3 in front of it. The parasitic loss and lack of first gear reduction isn't that huge of a deal in a reg cab short box or a Camaro... but in that truck you would hate it. The 4L80e has its place... and its not in a totally stock daily 5.3 powered Tahoe.
