I just rebuilt my 2007 Chevrolet 4L60E following Jimmy's tutorials and it works again! Fantastic video series and presentation. Never thought I'd attempt this procedure but he made it easy as well as ordering the parts I needed. Highly recommended, thanks Jimmy!

Great videos!! I'm rebuilding a 4l60e out of a z28 Camaro I'm almost done with it.. I really thank you for these videos..

Excellent 4L60E series! I will use these to rebuild my 700R4 again in future!! Basically the same as far as I can tell except the valve body is a little different of course!

Thanks for the video. I will be telling my friends about this video and your channel.

..awesome clear teach, congrats !!!

Love this video series. I'm gonna attempt to rebuild my own. Great job on your explanation

I was gonna use a steel strap, I work in a small shop and we get shipments on pallets held down by these straps freehundred dollars lol

If you put the pump halves back in the case backwards, it will line up the pump for tightening. Also, several large diameter hose clamps screwed together will work.

Good teaching no bs simple and to the point will use his kits

I rebuilt the pump and replaced the nylon rings on the body, and when test fitting on the reverse input drum its very snug. Is it because of the new bushing and nylon rings that were installed?

i have a 93 4l60e how much diffrent are they from the one in video ?

what about the plastic metal seal? do i not replace it?

Excelente explicación paso a paso !

ok got it im putting the drum into the case now when the drum is fully down the drum the band grabs comes up off the thrust bearing between the 2 drums but is fully splined with the sun shell and you can lift the drum shaft about 1/4 inch is this due to improper mounting depth of the forward sprag bushings please advise on proper method

Mr. Williams, I'm having trouble setting my last 2 drums of the stack into the 96 Corvette 4L60E case. Is there any measurements from the pump base in the transmission, to the bushing surface of the top clutch drum? I've tried it a dozen times and looking through the valve body, the pump is not seating in the transmission by about + or - 3/16" of an inch. Just as the shaft bottoms out each time, the top drum seems to raise above the thrust washer and spacer. I didn't want to attempt to tighten the pump bolts to force it down. Thanks.

Great videos, So I rebuilt my 2008 4l60e in a 2008 Hummer H3 5 cyl. It shifts fine from first to 2nd but shifts into neutral when trying to shift to third and there is no reverse.

Is it ok if it can't pull it up and down after installing the pump or no

Mr Williams, I purchased a new input drum/shaft assembly and a new reverse input drum (both oem). when i mate the two together the reverse input drum does not seat on the thrust washer. the reverse input drum actually rubs against the side of the input drum. Any suggestions? Thanks

I've replaced the front seal do to a leak well figured it was the seal but got it all back together, it doesn't leak as bad but only starts to when warmed up well else could it possibly be. my other guess would be the bushing and the pump seal where it bolts to the transmission. what else could it possibly be

Hi is the steels and frictons in a 4r100 and e4od the same

my 1994 Silverado 1500 2wd 4l60 makes a squeaking noise sounds like a bad U joint I removed the drive shaft and run the output shape my hand and you skeaky notice come from the units what kit do I need

hi there,i have a 04 4l60e with oring in pump.will a 03 rebuil kit kit

Is .017 a good end play for the input shaft?

Will bad boost valve blow pump seal out or cause it to leak 4L60E

i have a 97 blazer 2wd i have some play in the 2-4 band anocor pin hole in case is this normal the pin cocks slightly to the right side of case there is visible wear please advise

Excellent video series. What is the best way to learn the purpose of all these parts and how the transmission works? I've watched several re planetaries, clutches etc but can't find anything specific on how this tranny works.

What if there is no end play after snugging down the pump?

Thanks a lot!! from canada

Gracias muy buena lecciones felicidade

Why would you not chamfer the bushing before installation? This would keep the debris out of the transmission! Well done, concise and understandable.

@TiggerNyeah

2 жыл бұрын

Due to the lack of very expensive tools that people have, the chamfer could get in the way of installation, and would more easily get destroyed during installation.

Travis Lemley Hi Travis. It should not be giving you this much trouble. I assume you mean that the 3-4 frictions will not not go onto the input ring gear. Remove all of the 3-4 frictions from the forward drum and try to fit them onto the input ring gear by themselves. There may be something wrong with the splines on the ring gear or frictions. Let me know..... Jimmy

Awesome Series, I ordered my Kit from someone else before I saw your series or would have certainly sent you my business. This made a seemingly overwhelming project possible. Next Project, Im coming to you for sure. Now, after the brown nosing, I do have a question. After installing the pump to the case, All endplay disappears. It is there prior to tightening down the case. I feel confident that my 3-4 clutches are seated all the way and the reverse input drum seems down. I am able to get the pump seated down and it is spinning, not touching the reverse drum. But no endplay at all. I tried to put clamp on the shaft and use my feeler gauge but I cant get any movement. I tore it down an did it several times. all seems golden till I tighten down the pump.

I believe its either part 2 lesson 2 or lesson 3. Pretty sure its lesson 2 though

Why are the ring install tool and sizing tool so ridiculously priced, like over $100? What you get looks like it should be around $29 for the set. Without the tools, can you just carefully use a pump or even a bushing with the same ID? EDIT: Thinking back to his bucket trick to align the pump, can you do something similar using a pill bottle to spread, squeeze & resize the rings? Or even use a silicone tape to wrap the shafts to slide the rings down, then remove the tape and compress the rings with tape wrapped sticky side out, then remove the tape?

Interesting he doesn't mention air checking the tcc apply valve in the pump. Mine is leaking but it wasn't mentioned here. How important is this leak?

Had that same problem felt like torque converter wasn't locking up, there are a couple of fixes, you can ream the bore and put an oversize valve or use the transgo tcc regulator valve and heavy duty spring but i think the best fix is Fixal's Tcc regulator basically its a valve with orings and it seals up the bore so you dont get blowby worked great for me.

Jimmy, can you post a link to that tool please? Thanks. Rob in Miami.

at this point here is what I see. I would get so far in reassembly and then possibly need a new part that I then need to properly identify and then order and wait for its arrival get 30 minutes farther in to reassembly only to then need order another part and wait for it too to arrive.

Great series of videos. About to start on my second rebuild. After the first one I donated $25 to him. Does anybody know the o-ring size that is on the 7 bolts that hold the 2 half’s of the pump assy together? I think they are 904 viton o-ring.

For some reason I can’t edit my text above. I should have said the 7 bolts that hold the pump assy to the case of the tranny.

Anyone doing the bushings remember these aren't as easy as he makes them look took me a few trys to get putting them in right especially without a bushing driver or press.

All good

I see no reason to chamfer this bottom bushing. It is much larger diameter and will never touch the sealing rings. It is critical to maintain as much of this bushing surface as possible.

@39:10 I will put extra sealant on the underside of those bolt heads. yes they have O-rings but i want insurance.

@21:30 could one just do it to 18 foot pounds?

Show

Good videos. Just cannot get over the way pieces are placed in a box. Especially the bolts. A great mechanic would have used cardboard or something to draw the diagram and labels, then match up the bolts to make sure the bolts would go back into the same bolt holes. It may take longer. But, returning the bolts to the same bolt holes really helps prevent any kind of excess wear on bolt and bolt hole threading. Wayanchors.

What is the point of a video like this if you need "special" tools and don't tell people how/where to get the tools?

The slowness of this man speaking is just disrespectful
