It's a puzzle for sure but not something a good mechanic can't do. I went to transmission school 42 years ago but never got into the field, opting for HVAC as a career instead. I have however rebuilt a few and they all came out better than stock and for 1/4 the cost of what a rebuilt one would have cost me.

what kit exactly i have to order for my 4L60e 1999 s10 ? my truck stop working in Spain and cant get the transmission from state , decided to rebuild it , the problem is my truck wont change the gear from 3 to 4 thanks for great video .

what do u guys think of the 02xx 400r turbo i have 4 of them sitting all good the book said they are good to 800 hp but after reading the paper work looks like it would not take much to get a lot more out of it they have heavy clutches bigger pump stage one shift kit stock built . i keep getting the 450 hp 454 with the 02xx trans for free all low mile set ups 6,000 to 58,000 on them, saves me a lot of money on a build

With regular transmission servicing. How long between overhauls like this? Provided stock engine and light loads.

If my 5.3 v8 vortec motor had 450 HP would i have to have the 4l60e transmission rebuild to handle the amount of HP and more fl-lb

Maybe i was lucky but my old truck had a 4l60e and i had zero issues only reason i sold it was it was a 2wd and i needed a 4wd.

How much power can a stock 4l80e handle?

Roughly how much for this build ? Great video thanks.

from my knowledge the 4L60E started out as the 700R4, production began in 1982 and lasted until 1991, in 1992 the 4L60E was introduced along with the 4L80E, the 4L60E is mostly used on Gm cars, trucks and vans for the civilian market, the 4L80E was used for heavy duty, GM pickups and Vans made by GM, starting in 2005 GM started replacing the 4L60e and 4L80E with the 6L80 and 6l90E. the last 4l60E's and 4L80's where made in 2013, they where ONLY available on the Chevy express and GMC savanna work vans. that's a full 33 production years.

"Most guys refuse to build transmissions". Really? I've rebuilt a few myself and actually I would rather rebuild a transmission then an engine. Transmissions are only scary until you get involved rebuilding them. They are actually built in sections. And then each section gets installed back in the case in order and really isn't hard to do or scary either. It just looks scary because of the part count. But if you go about it in any type order, you'll see there really isn't much to them. When you rebuild a valve body, as you remove the pistons, plugs, pins, springs, valves, balls and such, you lay them out in the sequence you removed them. And clean the individual parts and lay them back in the same order for reassembly. JMHO
