  • @Christackleberry
    @Christackleberry 3 года назад +16

    Great, informative video. I like your attention to safety and how you try to give as much info as possible.
    A couple things I found out the hard way:
    1. If the old trans went out, you need to flush the oil cooler with brake cleaner and compressed air or it can fill your newly rebuilt transmission with junk.
    2. Lube the back of the crank with grease before you stick the torque converter in there. This allows the converter to move forward and back as the flexplate flexes.
    3. Put the exhaust above the crossmember but don’t attach it until you put the inside bolt on the driver’s side in the crossmember or the bolt will have to go in backwards from the rest.
    4. If you installed a new converter too, when you bolt it to the flexplate, make sure there is less than 3/16” gap between them. If not, you will need washers to close the gap.
    5. Depending on the year, the starter wires are too short to install until the starter is mounted.
    Your video on removing the hot glue connectors on the neutral safety switch saved me a huge headache!
    Keep up the great work!

      Either trans lube or red wheel bearing grease

    • @dudewecanfixit
      @dudewecanfixit  2 года назад +1

      My transmission didn't have a catastrophic failure, so I'm fine with flushing the lines.
      If it did have a catastrophic failure, I would install an auxiliary cooler and bypass the trans cooler in the radiator. I have a video on the auxiliary cooler install.

    Just did a full rebuild on my 01 jimmy. It's a lot more in depth for a 1st timer but I truly enjoyed rebuilding the tranny, adding sonnax shift kit, parts of transgo shift kit, corvette servo and a sonnax sun shell which was my problem in the first case. Totally stripped out 😆. But I would like to thank you two on a job well done. Especially with the feeler gauges, tolerances, and the confidence to do this job. I would've been up shit creek if not for you 2. I had a dam check ball fall into the side of the transmission 😆 and I double checked to make sure the c clips on the pump valve were fully seated then it got away from me and into the transmission again 🤦 but shit, I didn't even mind digging it out lol. Now I know I can rebuild one of these things and next would be engine dismantling but that's for another time. Much respect from Saskatchewan Canada 🇨🇦

      First, turn the truck off and chock the wheels. Try disconnecting the shifter linkage cable and manually moving the linkage on the transmission forward into the park position and see if that keeps it from rolling. Also, the light could be the park neutral safety switch not adjusted correctly.

      Once you have the transmission installed onto the engine you must verify that the torque converter
      remained fully seated into the front pump during the transmission installation. You should observe 1/8”
      (.125”) to 3/16” (.187”) of air gap between the torque converter mounting pads and flexplate before
      sliding the converter forward to attach it to the flexplate. If you have 1/8” - 3/16” air gap then you may
      proceed with sliding the torque converter forward and attaching it to the flexplate. If you have less than
      1/8” air gap then you may not have the torque converter fully seated into the front pump. This will
      require disassembly and verification of proper torque converter installation. If you have more than 3/16”
      air gap then you may install high quality flat washers between the mounting pads and flexplate to shim
      the converter to the correct air gap dimension of 1/8” - 3/16”. NEVER shim the converter to eliminate all
      air gap. Running the torque converter in a fully shimmed condition WILL result in damage to the front
      pump gear set, front pump stator body, torque converter pump hub, and may even cause damage to the
      internal torque converter components as well as the crankshaft thrust bearing.

Sometimes when its bolted down to the flex plate it will pull back out of the pump too far so I shim the torque converter-flex plate.

      I was thinking about grabbing one of these guys www.ebay.com/itm/4L60E-4L65E-4L70E-04-up-Master-Rebuild-Kit-Transmission-Overhaul-4L60-E-4L75E/202644117744 I do have a workshop with some propane heaters to rebuild the tranny in. Just gonna have to shovel snow when I go to take it in and out lol. I’m just making sure I get a kit that has the pistons in it, cause I figure if it’s not that check ball in the housing it’s gotta be the pistons that caused the 3/4 to go bad. Originally I hoped it was just a solenoid so I dropped the pan twice trying to fix it but now when I drive it I can tell it hits 3rd but there’s just a lot of rpm before you get any sort of pull feel out of the pedal then it just drops back into 2 when it gets around 4k

      Sounds like you have it figured out. Sounds like the frictions and steels are toast. Definitely replace the pistons and verify the check ball doesn't leak. Also look into reaming out and replacing the AFL valve in the valve body. You should also replace the TCC valve, these wear out and 3-4 apply fluid pressure can be reduced increasing slippage and burnout of clutches. Sonnax and transgo make kits for these repairs.

    Is this the same procedure for the 4l65e on Cadillac Escalade 2005 6.0 Awd?

      I have never worked on one of those, so I cannot say for sure

    I've got a question!!! I've got one dow pin in the transmission and one in the block that's the way it came out Is it supposed to be that way?

      They are there for alignment when you put the transmission back in. Doesn't matter what side they are on.

    I would like to know what is the best convert tie for 4L60E for Chevy 1500/99 4.8 Lts?

    Did you lube the snout of the torque converter before seating it into the crankshaft? I did not but I just saw a video where someone did. Do I need to take the tranny back off and do this?

      I usually put a little transmission fluid on it to help it slide in, but it's not necessary.
      You don't need to take it back out.
