You did a very well job of explaining the job. The only thing worth adding. Is be very careful. Especially if you have never pulled a tranny. When it goes back in. Get your bellhousing bolts in loosely and make sure the trans is tight against the motor and that your torque converter spins easy. If it does then tighten the bellhousing bolts. If it doesn't spin. This is where you wanna be very careful. Drop the tranny out again and spin the torque converter with pressure against it. And you'll hear it clunk in. Usually the tranny shop bolts a hold down in place. That prevents this. If you ignore this you most likely will bust your pump. And then there goes some more money and it's gotta come out again.

You can tell dude really is a master mechanic. Super smart.

Having a 3” body lift exposes all the bolts on top. Made things a lot easier. Love the detailed information. Thanks.

Dang John, you went Mongo style on that transfer case!

Thank you guys so so much. You covered almost every problem I ran into. I had rusted fuel lines. Now if you guys can only send me a few days of warm weather.

Glad it helped you. I wish the Southern California weather could be anywhere in the world. Stay warm.

Great video again, the removal video really helped a lot. It took me 2.5 hours to pull the transmission, putting it back together tomorrow! Thanks for the clear explanations!

this video and the tear down video was awesome! you guys did a great job on them! i couldnt have done my rear main seal on a 06 sierra 4wd without them! i wish you guys would have spent a little more time on the electrical plugs but i think i figured mine out. again! thank you! i did my job completely by myself. and the transfer case was no joke! thanks for the heads up on that one! keep up the good work fellas!!! 👍👍👍

This video bro is very informative. I have to help do this with my boss's mechanic buddy on a 02 Silverado it needs transmission bad it has barely any 3rd gear and four gear left. Thanks for the very easy to follow video. Take care peace out.

You guys are awesome thanks man

Thank you so much for this.

I'm a buck 60 and dropped my first ever transmission single handedly. Had issues with o2 sensor on passenger side to get exhaust off. Eventually I got the dang thing off. Will try installing new one on my own soon. Unsure of fluid levels though

I always throw the Brackets away and just zip tie it and exhaust y- pipe I cut it and weld it back on later lol

Your my hero

Thanks 🙏.

Just a little tip when your reinstalling the transmission dont put in the lower bell housing bolts till the tops are in 1st this way you prevent pulling the rear main out of place and causing a leak .

You saved my tail. Mine just went bad yesterday. Taking it out as I watch your video right now. Liked and subbed

Thanks. How much oil needs the transmission?

This video was a great help for me! but i noticed you didn't mention flushing the lines. my fluid was really nasty and smelled bad..i stumbled across flushing lines. due to the size of this project you really should dont you think? or you think the fliter will take care of it?

Love the vid. I'll probably have to replace my 03 Avalanche 4L60E or rebuild but if I get a new one and install it do I have to re-encode the VCM? if so is this something backyard mechanic can do?

No you don’t have to do any flashing or programming when rebuilding or replacing a 4L60E. Thank you for inquiring.

Did you guys have to ,flash ecm and re calibrate anything?thanks in advance

2000 silverado, would u happen to know if the transmission needs programming after new install?

Do you put converter bolts first

If i have a 4l60e and wanted a 4l65e or 80 what conversion kit do i need ???

Not sure if anyone will be seeing this, however does any one know the part number for the transfer case studs. My old man is trying to put his truck back together and needs new ones.

Question ? It won’t work for a 09?

I do have a question I have a wire harness that goes down the left side driver side of my transmission it has a torque bit or something on the top is that easy to remove when I start dropping the transmission? How much fluid do I put in a torque converter on a rebuilt transmission? Thanks your video was a lot more informative. Thanks

@ZHPGarage

3 ай бұрын

You should be able to undo the bolt with transmission still in but if not, you can when the transmission is dropped down a little bit. Put just enough fluid in the converter that fluid won’t come out when it’s on its side to install into transmission.

Thank you I appreciate the quick response back it's going to be the first time I'm doing a transmission on my truck

I would have pre-filled the transfer case before re-installing it. Question what position did you shift the gears in before removing the old transmission. I have a 4L60E but with drive by wire set up.

@ZHPGarage

3 жыл бұрын

It would’ve leaked out of the tail shaft if it had fluid in it before re installing it. The one in the video is a drive by wire, I had it in park when I pulled it out but just make sure it’s out of park, like neutral, so you can spin the driveline so you can line it up with the u joints on the rear end.

Did your truck have the 4 wheel auto and then the 2wheal then 4highe and 4 low. Does it matter about the trany type

It was a manual transfer case and it doesn’t differ too much between an auto or manual one with removing and reinstalling.

Can't get the torque converter bolts off. Hex head and all are round heads. Put penetrating oil and the impact on it. Won't budge. Any ideas, tips. Etc.

For anyone that is struggling with the torque converter bolts some heat made all the difference for me, they wouldn't budge with a breaker bar and Allen socket so we stopped and put the torch to them for 20 seconds or so and they came right out

Can I just trade the bellhousing from a 99 to a 2000 4l60?

@ZHPGarage

3 жыл бұрын

Great question Glory! The 99-00 4L60 should have the same bell housing. As long as you’re 100% it’s a 4L60e and not a 4L65e transmission, the bolt on bell housing started in 96 and in 98 went to a 300mm torque converter. The 4L65e was phased in in 01 with the 6.0 liter (RPO M32). So if you have a 96-00 4L60e transmission all bell housing are interchangeable.

So it should be the same for a 2006 Silverado 1500 z71

@ZHPGarage

Should be, only difference would be if it’s 2WD instead of 4WD. Then there would be no transfer case or front driveline.

Took 2.5 hours with a hoist and every tool imaginable, I'm not a mechanic but have fooled around with vehicles quite a bit. I'd say 4 hours or less if you reference the removal video

Can I just send you my transmission?

Can you come do my transmission for me??? Please?? 😔

Could have been more detailed, better camera angles as well.
