For lowering, use a floor jack and a piece of 2x10 or even some 3/4 plywood under the pan. Works pretty nearly fantastic for a poor man. I've never done it with these transmissions exactly but I've done a good handful or 2 of Allisons that way. They're heavy bastards to get back on the jack when you wanna put em back in tho. PS i would also recommend having an extra guy to run the jack while you balance the trans.
@@HVACRServiceTech I have removed and replaced an Allison by myself that way. Once. It's sketchy. If you're not pretty strong and also a touch crazy, don't do it.
@@jaywiebe7612 I'm trying to go look at a 2007 impala right now with a clear title, engine running good, just needs a transmission rebuild for $1000. If the guy would answer. That one is the front wheel drive transmission, 4T65 I think
Awesome Man! that's great. I'm really thankful for the comment to know that it's helping you. Hey , make sure to watch the other ones I got in the playlist. Especially the most recent one I did, TRANSMISSION REBUILD TIPS. Because there's a lot of valuable information in there that I don't want you to go into rebuilding your transmission without knowing.
You got the bolt off at the top center of the transmission bellhousing right? And of course the drive shaft, the rear transmission mount on the cross member. There is probably still a bolt holding it to the block if it won't break apart
Probably not. But, I since I don't pull Transmissions everyday the straps do almost as good of a job lifting it up there. I really depends, I might actually prefer to use straps, going at it alone like that. I can control it pretty good with those straps, and have never used a Transmission Jack so I really couldn't say for sure. Thanks 👍
Let me think for a sec... I don't think so. It's been like a year and a half, but if I remember correverything can be done from the outside. If you keep the pan on it , though you have the weight of 10 quarts of fluid(roughly) That adds to the weight of the transmission which is already heavy enough. I believe you're gonna want to remove the pan because you do have to pull the dipstick out. And if i'm not mistaken the fluid Level is higher than that when it's full. So when you pull the dipstick , you're gonna drain fluid. Also gets in the way quite a bit When you're trying to get the linkage, electrical plug, and other Things like that disconnected.
This is after. That was back in February. Wait till you see the front gear set. It's all chewed up. So far, I've seen that the front planetary thrust bearing got toasted, and I think that caused the gears to get messed up. I didn't go deeper yet because I started disassembling and remembered I needed to make a video. I'm going to continue in the morning and should be uploading it tomorrow.
@theludusproject the front of the driveshaft simply slides forward and back along splines and don't hold by anything other that the rear 4 fasteners. Once the 4 on the rear side are removed and the back end drops. The front will fall out too as it slips our of the transmission tail. But you're right, I should have mentioned that
@papi9196 it's not going anywhere, and even if it did, the wheels are still mounted and it would have to crumble the bricks entirely for it to actually hurt me. But with the bricks the way they are, it's stable

Thanks for the video, it helped me a lot to remove the transmission.
@@ukuseukuse6611 that's awesome! I'm so glad you told me. Thanks
Now you just got to rebuild it LOL Taking it out's the easiest part!😎

@@jaywiebe7612 yea having an extra guy would be nice. I have to do it myself, so that's why I do it that way. But you make good points for sure

As an added bonus, I'm currently doing the same with a 6L80. We'll see how it goes I guess

Damn i was hopeing you had a tip for separating the motor and trans. There nothung holding the together but they wont budge.
@rileywalker9862 there has to be something still keeping it in
So the bell housing and rear of the block won't split apart?
You got the bolt off at the top center of the transmission bellhousing right? And of course the drive shaft, the rear transmission mount on the cross member. There is probably still a bolt holding it to the block if it won't break apart
Is there a tactical advantage to using straps instead a transmission jack?
Probably not. But, I since I don't pull Transmissions everyday the straps do almost as good of a job lifting it up there. I really depends, I might actually prefer to use straps, going at it alone like that. I can control it pretty good with those straps, and have never used a Transmission Jack so I really couldn't say for sure. Thanks 👍
Do you have to pull the pan off to get it out?

Thanks for the 👌🏿 most detailed informative video I've come across here on RUclips for removing a Chevy transmission..... you have my follow
Thanks for the comment. I'm glad to hear it
Thank you so much man!
@@Wife-Sillygoose no problem. I'm glad it helped. Really
Is this before or after those janky mechanics messed things up ?

@@cliffordbradford3257 JANKY, lol
great video except you left out the front driveshaft removal

Why are proffessional mechanics so stuck up?? I mean you do what you have to do!! Thanks for the video again
@JoshuaMurr-j4d yea idk man. They think they know it all, but actually know a lot less than alot of the general public does
14:47 you must have a death wish to get underneath like that.
@papi9196 it's not going anywhere, and even if it did, the wheels are still mounted and it would have to crumble the bricks entirely for it to actually hurt me. But with the bricks the way they are, it's stable
@papi9196 better than help paying the shops for thier fancy tools.
