We are good at taking them apart but someone never shows videos on how to put them together.

Yep,for real🤔🤔

After seeing the footage, I would feel absolutely confident of disassembling one of these. However, putting it all back together again would be a completely different situation, indeed, after the first set of bolts were removed, I was completely lost.. :D You're clearly a master mechanic and years of experience and my hat is tipped in your direction for your ability, but looking at all that complex parts on the bench has stunned me. Reassembling something like this is impossible for anyone other than a qualified mechanical engineer and there's more chance of me going to the moon than to attempt something like this.. Brilliant to watch, still got a headache from the miriade of parts, but I was transfixed the whole time..

Looks harder than it is I did my first transmission a month ago , there's tons of videos out there ,stack everything together as u disassemble and rebuild one part at a time and lube everything as u assemble and check for clearance on clutch packs and input shaft end play among other things.

That check ball is supposed to be there. That is a version 2 type 2 spacer plate. Look further into the shift kit instructions they will show you how-to ID the spacer plate.

Your videos are always educational. Much respect for your years of experience. Just lost the 6L80E in my 2018 Silverado 120,000 miles and never towed anything. Changed fluid at 50,000 and 100,000. Guess it wasn’t often enough. Thanks again Richard. 🙏♥️

I'm going right outside and pulling my transmission from my car..........NOT!!!!!! My wife saw the video. She just sat there the whole time with her mouth open. She's found a new respect for her car and people like you who work on them.

I find it hilarious that there are still those that state these vehicles today are designed to go 300000 plus miles "with proper maintenance" is the key words used in order to pin the fault back on the customer. In reality they've over engineered these vehicles with multiple design flaws to the point I have to say it's intentional.

Sign of a good mechanic or rebuilder,,, When tearing down the components he was looking for not only the standard things but the unusual things that many would not see until during clean up or reassembly,,, He is not just in a hurry to tear everything down but using his eyes looking for things and that is a cut above.

This guy thinks way to highly of his viewers.. Ain't nobody doing what he can do in their garage. bravo man!!!

GM. The new gm is now like Garbage Motors when it comes to quality control & life expectancy issues

Another genuine american automotive engineering marvel!. this is why Japan has excelled!

That transmission makes the internal components of a Swiss watch look simple by comparison.

I rebuilt my own 6L80 at home and did just fine. My advise if any one tries to do one on their own you need to know when Richard tears these transmission apart he does not show you the how to replace the bonded pistons or o-rings in the drums. I had my biggest problem with putting a Sonnex Zip Kit in my valve body. Get yourself a ATSG book for the 6L80 it will help out a lot, I got my book from amazon. Richard is right it is something you can do yourself at home if you are mechanically inclined but you will have to buy a few tools to do it.

Hmm that's assuming the home builder already has a plethora of hand tolls and power tools? Rebuilding a transmission isn't for the average diyer not even if they have above average skill and ample tools! This stuff isn't as easy as Richard makes it look. He has torn apart 100s of thousands of transmissions and successfully rebuilt them! He has gone through countless hours of schooling to be able to successfully do this. Not to mention the thousands of dollars of tools he owns! To be able to do his job professionally. Coming from someone that works for a transmission shop. And the amount of B's we take in that has been attempted at home just plain fing don't! Save yourself the thousands in extra labor hours required!

You are very bright sir. I am impressed.

Good find on the extra check ball Richard. 2 thumbs up!!

u remind me of my uncle. he did transmissions. people would wait if they had to, just to get him to rebuild their trans for them. my first car was a 66 Chevelle with a 2 speed power glide. i was 15 a wanted him to rebuild the 2 speed for me and wanted to know what he would charge me. he said nothing, cuz ur the one going to rebuild it. my uncle showed me step by step. long story short. the 2 speed out lasted 3 motor.. lol thank u for ur time sir

It looks so simple opening it up and tearing out bits.. Getting it back together so everything still works is the reason I'd never do it at home.. Sort of like abdominal surgery.

From Leo: I am glad to be retired. I have not rebuilt an automatic since the Turbo 350 was replaced by the 700R4. I could do powerglides in my sleep. Torqueflights were straight forward. Today's transmissions look to be 3 times the parts and far more complicated details. The details make or break the job. Thanks for your work on these videos.

Thank u sir nice to have a lady helping u

I like the fact that you went back to the air tools. I knew you were going to when you switched. Doing a job like you have for so many years you get used to the way something works. I must say the air tools are faster IMO. Thank you for the video!

I agree most seasoned mechanics could change out the parts but the real trick is knowing how to set it up right the first time. The tricks of the trade are locked up in Richards head for good reason. That’s why I’m going to let him to it all on my 48RE to save me the learning curve and frustration. Worth the money and piece of mind to know it’s done right.

Thank you Theresa... "How do you have an extra ball?"

I have watched quite a few of your videos and love then to death …I’m really still waiting to watch you do a 2004 Jeep Liberty 4x4 3.7L transmission so I can know if I need a whole new transmission and or transfer case if I can get it rebuilt or overhauled as you say.. I have done a lot of engine work on my own over the years for a lot of other folks as well as the wife’s ride but when it comes to transmissions, I basically only know how to take one out or slap one in and hook up all wire harnesses.. but after seeing you show the instructional overhaul sheet, I’m still concerned about doing it at home by myself.. pretty sure I already have all the tools needed I just don’t trust my limited knowledge to even bother with it on my own yet.. been riding my motorcycle killing my spine basically since transmission went into some kinda limp mode about 2 years ago.. still sitting in my yard and I hate to say it but it feels neglected since I’ve been all over the wife’s engine fixing somewhat minor worn out parts after over 200,000 miles on it.. I think gotta do the ac condenser next soon…. Love working on vehicles and seeing happy customers save tons of money, had they not chosen to get it serviced or repaired at that time it would’ve been much more costly… you make great transmission tear down videos … I must not be catching the ones going back together if you have done those kinds… love the vids and shout out to the vigilant camera woman getting right up in there and even asking questions some might or would have during the videos..

fascinating thank you for sharing

My 6l80e still going in my 07 Yukon Denali on 185k miles. Did add a billet torque converter from Circle D. I can't imagine it'll last much past 200k though. The torque converter is generally the cause of most the 6l80e troubles though.

My boss just had his done at Aamco :) I told him he's nucking futs. I had a LeBaron tranny done at Aamco years ago and after 8 visits it was finally fixed. Those places usually have 1 or 2 guys that deal with all the problem cars in a region. Most of the time you get backyard Bubba who removes the old unit and slaps one in from off the shelf as it were.

Brett is correct. That check ball is supposed to be there. That was an update I forget what year that changed. I want to say right around 2014 and forget why they added it.

I am going to have trouble rebuilding one in my driveway without the yellow snap ring tool!

Funny thing is about this trans it looks like a 6L90 valve body on it. The castings are the same but the holes in the valve body to the case are drilled in different spots depending on 6L50, 6L80 and 6L90

I think your right , a pressure spike caused the parts to fail. That fluid looks a little dirty. It probably didn't help.

Wow, that sure looks simple. I never could solve a Rubix Cube. No wonder we need electric cars.

I think what you are doing is marvellous pity mine is a CVT!

My 170k mile 6l80 behind my 6.2 in my AWD Yukon is still ok. I still should refresh it.

On that sun gear you said was reversable in another video- it will wear better if put back the same way it came out, or put in a new one

Checking my late brother in law's inventory from his transmission shop we have 15 6L80E/90E pump assembly and as many bell housing. We have a lot of parts gor Ford, GM, Chrysler and Toyota RA60 & others

It would be nice if the pump stator had a wear plate under vanes instead of soft aluminum..could maybe be faced and a wear plate installed to restore surface if you could get parts from transgo or sonnax? Rebuilder association could lobby them to provide this service.

The 8th check ball is not necessary. Frankly you can remove 3 of the check balls and trans will be rough but will work fine. The 8th ball is for the low reverse clutch which has so much wave plate on it, it's fine. However it "should" help with the 1st engine braking clunk some people get. I don't know, never had a 6l80 with it.

I have a 2015 Silverado with 148,000 miles. I would like to have it rebuild. Sometimes has rough downshifts.

You're definitely pro-active on your parts stock!
