Transmission Stuck to Engine! How to Separate Transmission Bell Housing from Engine - 6L80 Silverado
In this video we show how to separate the 6L80e Transmission from the motor in my 2014 Silverado with the 5.3L L83 direct injected motor. The process will be identical on the 6.2L and should be very similar on GM trucks and cars equipped with the following transmissions:
6L80
6L90
8L90
10L80
10L90

The Milwaukee Impact Is a MUST HAVE for this job and stands up to all of the abuse I put it through. It is by far the best tool purchase I've made and has a small enough body that I can fit it just about anywhere.

Was at this point with my trans tonight and thought I better stop and see if anyone else had this problem before I broke something. Glad to see you pushed through and got er' done. Thanks!
Definitely felt like I was going crazy. Another tip is use a swivel on a socket with like 2 feet of extensions you can get the torque converter bolts from the front of the engine with an impact.
work perfect. i torched the two dowels, then used a sharp thin metal chisel and split the case right from the block and was done in 15 mins on a 20 year old truck in rust belt
I've pulled 20-30 of these 6L80 transmissions, two in the past week. And they are all a pain to get out. Usually I spray them down with pb blaster before I even start. Then I'll smack them a few times with a chisel and once it's time to come out I'll have two pry bars and just slowly work it out prying against the block, not the pan or flex plate, and the housing and they eventually come out. Before I reinstall I use a bur tool and clean up the new transmission pin holes and put grease in them so it'll be easier the next time. Transfer cases on these are usually stuck too.
Dude, I'm doing an 8L90 having the same problem and thought I was trippin. Thanks a lot for the reassurance man. Much needed lol. I've been a mechanic for 16 years and never ever have I come across one this hard to separate. Especially such a new truck/trans.
Tip for torque converter bolts, turn the rachet to the left, and you can slide a breaker bar between the cab and framerails, into the passenger wheelwell. So much easier to break loose.
Air hammer against engine side of the dowel for the win. Hammer that dowel hard with as much psi as you can. Worked for me.
I'm currently doing this on a Nissan Micra and the thing is STUCK! I expected to use my bare hands to remove it but I think I'll be renting a floor transmission jack to finish the job. Impossible to wiggle it free by hand. Oh well I didn't expect this to be an easy job especially on the floor.
that's why I have 3 inch body lift on my trucks so it can be easier to work on them I know people don't like them.but when it comes to put your hands in tide spaces that's where the 3 inch body lift comes.handy
Update.... I have the engine and transmission out.... I took a mini torch and heated the dowels up and got one side really hot and then stomped on the tail and heated the other side and stomped it again and it separated in a matter of minutes
Fought with it for an hour and half. Found your video and had it off in 5 minutes. Thanks man
Ran into this exact issue 5mins ago, i check 6 times to make sure I got all the bolts out, counted the bolts 4 times. Now I’m gonna try to torch method, thanks for the reassurance, I could of swore I was about to go nuts.
Just the video I was looking for! Been trying to get this damn thing off for 4 hours. You said get the sledgehammer out and I listened. 10 minutes later she pops free!!👍🏻🔥🔥
Thank you! This explains why I was struggling with removing my 4l60e
The sound of the dowels creaking is all I needed to know. Thanks for the video.
Nice, thanks! Reassurance just when we needed it!
Omg I didn’t think i would find a video on this. I’ve been struggling with this.
I've been working on my 2006 Explorer 4.0 all day. Like you rocking and pulling. Will try heat tomorrow. Thank you!
I'm doing this rn on a Ram 3500 thank you on the tip. I tried everything until I seen this video 🙌
I used a come along with a chain on the aft trans support hooked to non-removable cross member support. Easy. S-10.
