I like this guy. He doesn't edit out all of the struggles with accessing parts, and how to get around them.
Well thanks. I like you too.
Yes he really detailed and show about every step you need to do
The fact that this is un edited and he has this trans out in 30 mins is just mind blowing 😂
Well when you have a lift and all the tools you need at your disposal it’s not too hard. Now if you are at home with it on ramps laying on the ground it can be a pain in the ass
Yeah the tools pretty much take it out for me. I’m actually just moving my arms around and the tools are pulling the transmission
How it doesn’t have a ton of bolts and plus he started before video. Try having it out and back in 45mins that working
I'd love to see it 😂
@@eviljoker303 Yeah, that's my situation right now. In the driveway........it's dark.......and there's a freeze warning tonight.
Unbelievable. This here is a true testament of a master craftsman.
Reminds me of being in the shop with my dad, he didn't screw around either. You didn't get in his way...
If you aren't making 80k plus then you're underpaid. I hope you own the shop. This here will take me 8 hours or more to do, even with your video, you did it in 30 mins.
I can't get over how freaking efficient you are. My dad would have been impressed, and he rocked that flag hour like no one, with quality to boot.
My hat is off to you, sir, and thank you for helping me and my kids to pull our trans!
I was not expecting Elvis to be showing me how to pull the transmission out of my truck
GREAT VIDEO!
Nice job. It's clear that this gentleman has done more than a few of these. There was only one thing I needed to see and that's what happens when you unbolt the transfer case, now I see that I can just muscle it out and rotate it sideways to clear the cross members behind it.
The reason why I already know the rest is because I did "take the cab off". Mine is a 2002 Avalanche 1500 4x4 and it is pretty much identical in terms of power train. I bought a new frame because the old one rusted away, and I did a frame off restoration. I pulled the entire power train in one piece from the bare chassis and reinstalled it the same way from above before rolling it back under the body. I put a top end rebuild in the engine and I thought the trans was good, but I turned out to be wrong driving the truck a couple months after getting it back on the road. Now I have to pull the trans from underneath the hard way.
One thing though, when I had the whole engine/trans assembly out and it was time to separate the bell housing from the engine, that SOB was literally fused to the engine with corrosion between the iron of the block and the aluminum of the bell housing. I had to do some fierce hammering with some fine wedge tools all the way around, and it took a long time to get it to even look like I was making a gap. I was afraid I was going to break the bell housing. A normal pry bar was not going to do it. I had to use tools with a knife edge and hammer the crap out of them to the point where the tools were ruined just to make a gap. I'm telling you, I've had a few transmissions out of cars and trucks, and I had never seen anything like this. That thing was literally fused with corrosion. There is no way I would have been able to separate it from under the truck, it was literally a job where you'd have to take the cab off. When I bolted it back together I slathered the mating surfaces with anti seize. I use anti seize by the tub. Anything that doesn't get locking compound gets anti seize.
Also I've found that those GM quick connect fittings for the cooler lines go in and out real easy, IF you have them dead straight. If there is any angle at all they won't budge, and that goes for pushing them in as well as pulling out. If they won't budge then you have to flex the line a little and change your angle of force. And those black plastic rings that retain the Jesus clips are also important, they keep the clip from working out sideways. I know I guy working as a tech at a dealership, last year he showed me a complete rebuild he was doing on a later model 10 speed, and he told me the root cause of the breakdown was the cooler line working loose on the highway.
One hell of a transmission man. Never seen somebody work that smooth. Great video. Good job and Thanks
Boy your good at that. No fooling around. Thank you
I'd just like to tell you I've gotten great instructions from both your trans removal videos. Great job. I haven't seen any install videos yet. Excited to see them. Keep up the good job
Cool video. Thanks for taking the time to help us out. Especially appreciated how you made the whole thing flow with all the description, and pointers. Loved the comedy as well, take the cab off!!!!
Ha. Thanks man. Glad I can help
@@ltstransmissionhowto5158 Just torch a hole in the cab, woohoo!
This guy is an absolute badass with a wrench!!! Couldn't have done it with out his tutorial!!!
I’m doing this tonight on my Hummer H2 can’t wait to get started thanks for the post and detailed info 🙏🏾👏🏾
Very good video! Great camera work! Very helpful. You are awesome. I appreciate this video so much. My trans just dropped 3rd and 4th . I am furloughed til 7/21. I got more time than money.
I really enjoyed this video, you take pride in your work and showed how clips came off and little tricks. Thank you
Thanks for watching
The way you turned the fly wheel was slick i always use socket on engin pully the way you went was slick never even thought of just turning it like that of corse you do this work all the time
By far the best for my 04 Tahoe thank you for this video
That's one of the best videos , working on anything , that I've seen , and this is the first comment I've ever commented on.
Great Video! Made taking mine out a breeze! Thanks a million! 👍
Wow, great video. I've been thinking about doing mine for awhile now. With your help, I feel like I can do it.
Oh yeah man. You got this
Holly God ! It's going take me two days to do what you did in 30 minutes .
Thanks for sharing, I'm pulling one in my yard, without all the right tools, that long extension is nice !
Gentleman and a scholar. Incredible work
Thanks bro did this whit my son never would of attempted whit out this video. ..my 3rd trans 😁👍
Awesome video, no bs and great tips.
Pulled mine this weekend this video was very helpful.. 👍👍
Awesome. Glad I could help. Thanks for watching
Thanks for the video btw it helped me get started. I wasnt sure what to take off first.
I have an 07 Silverado headed to the shop Monday to have the trans replaced. Has 199663 miles on it. Hope the new one last another 200, 000.
Would've been only 20 minutes if that bolt was in the right way!👏👏👏 Let's also mention this guy seems like a trustworthy good ol' country boy!👑
Nice vedio you made the top bellhousing bolts look easy thank you sir.
I’ve had a little practice.
I got my truck on jack stands man and geez dude you made that look so easy
The hardest part is getting started.
Great help... everything out of way to drop transmission on my 2001... Just need to figure out how to get the cab off now.
I like that transmission jack!
Wish I had one!
This is much needed information to pull mines out of my H2
wow your the man!!! thanks not sure now if i want to do it but if i do i will write back your awesome my friend
My kinda guy 😎... Work, straight to the point, watch me do it. 4x4 transmission out in less than 40 minutes. Definitely not this dude's first rodeo. I'd drink a beer with him.
Best video I've seen for the 4l60e removal, great job and thanks for keeping it short,sweet, and thorough!
Thanks for watching.
Will u be doing anymore videos
Yes. I’m working on some. Got some dodges I’m about to do for 68RFE.
lol you WANT MORE IN-DEPTH..TRANSMISSION CRAP.?
* GO TO
PERSISION TRANSMISSION
( RICH & TRENT.)
::THEY'LL LEARN YA SOMTHING
& QUICK ,BRO-SKI..! ::
Excellent work on the trans and the video
Man wish I would have learned something but u took that thing out to fast to learn anything lmao your good at what you do
Some advice for those watching on that cross member bolt hitting the exhaust. Use a prybar to put pressure on the bolt and use the impact to thread it the rest of the way out. Learned that trick pulling screws out of stripped wood.
This guy has done just a few of these lol makes it look easy
Love his attitude most shop guys don’t like ppl
Golldman that was pretty got damn fast lol thanks for the share
You are the man less then a hour
I like watching this on 2x speed, its like watching a Marvel hero.
You the man!!! This is a visual TM
Love the unedited video!!! Right on!
I loved this thanks again
Great video and method. I just wonder why he pulls the trigger on the air impact so many times.
I have a 04 Tahoe 4.8L and I've lost reverse and OD. I have a buddy who has the motor and trans out of a 99 Silverado 1500 4×4. Can I put that trans in my Tahoe without any issues with everything matching up correctly? Any advice on this is greatly appreciated!
Great video I hope u make more videos to the point and getting it done u go dude👍
Some early 98-2000 models had torque converter bolts without the external hex and had to use a 10 mm Allen socket ...they were a mother f...er.. so tight and bolt heads had soft metal that would strip out when you tried to break one loose...I usually just air chiseled them off and put new ones in with the external hex.
The best things I’ve found to get those out are the same ones used to take the bolts out that hold the bell housing to the case. Snap on’s socket is the torx 50IP.
It will go in perfect and won’t strip out as long as you have it in there flush.
Was it possible to have removed the last transfer case support mount bolt by tapping it out using a drift pin punch lightly tapping on it? It looked like it was clear enough of the exhaust ? Hard to tell from the video but from the perspective of watching the video it looked like it could have been knocked out without removing the exhaust from the manifolds ? Maybe it would have wedged the bolt? I would have attempted that first. Excellent video.
My truck has gears only park makes. A whining noise when first started then goes away I’m just curious if its the trourq converter or the transmission itself
Great work either way
Thank you for sharing,👍👍
Facts dude the truth I'm watching this video like yea buddy he about his paper
Nice video, I can't believe how fast did you remove it
Awesome been MecNec 38 yrs Farmer's My Name and never seen One Pulled So Fast But if ya Got the Tools ya Got it thks For Sharin lot of Great Points Ya Got my Vote I,m in Sub Ya Got this
You make that look easy I’m taking one out my truck it’s hard
Thank You!
I am signing up to be part of a GM Law suit over their Transmissions. My 2019 has had the 3X Flush Two weeks ago and is now back getting a new torque converter. Chevrolet/GM is aware of the problems, but keeps pushing these Transmissions out. Mary Bara needs her Corporate Million Dollar Bonus each year.
Great job
Thanks. And thank you for watching.
damn good mechanic work
Thanks man. I appreciate it.
@@ltstransmissionhowto5158 u in tx
No. I’m in KY
Thank you.
For that last cross member bolt, you take a suitably sized crescent wrench place it by the base of the bolt head and tap it out with a hammer.
*gently encourage
@@gunsup0331 Never force anything, get a bigger hammer.
Great video. One thing I didn’t see you do or say to do is mark the drive shaft before removal. To put it back in the exact same spot.
Also for me it’s a bit easier to loosen the motor mounts to get the top and mid bell housing bolts.
Without a lift anyway
Yeah loosening the motor mounts would probably help. The only time I ever mark the driveshaft is if it’s a 2 piece and separate it. I’ve never had an issue with them otherwise.
I never used to. When I was younger and just learning. Then I was taught that it can throw it off balance. I never could tell a difference either
Thank you for using a decent camera.
So really it's a 4l65e because it's got the extra bolt hole on the very top of the bell housing??
You should heat the PRNDL switch plugs before removal in order to avoid breaking the connectors.
@ 31 minutes. Everything else in this video is straightforward wrenching but damn that last tip was worth it
Nice video and speed
Thanks.
nice job
What does the labor total call for in hours?
Those two vent hoses with the breather tips that are bolted to the top of the bell housing. One is for the transmission and the other for the transfer case? Thank you
Yes.
That guy is super fast
I appreciate the video ima just let my mechanic handle it
What sensor did he say would cause overheating issues? Can't understand the mumbles on parts of the video
Stop saying “if not were gonna take the cab off” your scaring the fuck out of me 😂😂😂
Good video
How long is that extension? What combination of extensions/universal joints did you use to get the top bolts so easily?
It’s a 36 inch I believe. Maybe 32. I use it and I have a deep well universal socket. You can get them will just a straight deep well and a long extension. My extension is a 1/2” down to a 3/8”. It’s pretty handy if you do a lot of transmissions. But you can put a couple extensions together and get the same results
@@ltstransmissionhowto5158 Thanks! I got the 13 off the top stud, any pointers on getting the bracket out of the way? Fat hands cant reach that far into it
Idk if I missed it but did you have to support the engine or did it just rest on the crossmember?
Without the transmission weighing on the engine the engine mounts will hold it in place without having to support it.
damn good video
What is the exact name of that shield on the starter?? My doesn’t have it I don’t now if that can be an issue🤔
It’s a dust shield. It won’t really effect anything.
the crossmember was more of a fight because the y pipe was an aftermarket replacement unit. looks like catco. Guarantee those bolts go back in facing the other way!
good job boys thx alot
The PRND switch connectors... Do apply anything when you reinstall them?
No. Just heat them back up a little and shove them back in.
Is a 2009 Chevy Malibu Motor/Transmission compatible with a 2012 Chevy Malibu for a swap?
I’m not 100% sure on that. If it does interchange it will for sure have to all be flashed to the vin
If you dont have a hose clamp on the air line I cant get down.
If not rebuilding and only replacing front seal, would you leave t-case attached to trans?
If you have enough clearance that would be fine. It just make cause a little extra work on reaching the bell housing bolts
Very helpful in the order of removal.
But that DAMN BUZZER!!! Ugh...
What the hell is that?
Connected to the phone. Buzzes when the phone rings
I would of had to edit a bunch of creative cuss words. 😆
Cant you use a impact with swivel socket on the drive shaft?
I’m sure you can on some.
Is there supposed to be fluid between the trans extension housing and the transfer case like it was in the video? Trans fluid pours out when you break the transfer case loose. Is it normal to have some fluid there?
On the 4L60 there will be. There isn’t a real seal on the 4x4 4L60. The front desk on the transfer case is a double sided seal. It’s supposed to keep fluid in the transmission. And fluid in the transfer case. Sometimes go bad and you lose fluid in the transmission and the transfer case ends up over full.
@@ltstransmissionhowto5158 thanks for the reply! Had a shop replace some seals and they ended up cracking my extension housing and it’s leaking tranny fluid from the crack. I’ve got to pull my transfer case and replace it.
What size is the hex nut for the flywheel? Mine is completely stuck 😔
The socket for the converter bolts ?
Hey buddy how are you question I take a every boat cuz I want to remove the engine but they can come out from the transmission I want to remove from the transmission by the they can move from the damage while you got to do I take it everything the Angels moving but he stay hook up with the transmission I take it the trip board with the transmission but the engine doesn't come out what they got to do thank you yes chevy Silverado 5.3
If you’re pulling the engine, all the bell housing bolts from the transmission have to come out and also the converter bolts. Sometimes these have been on so long you have to pry them apart. The transmission can be stuck on the dowel pins. I hope I’ve answered your question. If you have anymore questions let me know
Okay my friend thank you I appreciate you thank you very much. God Bless you
2 grand to have it done right. If someone quotes you 750 ..they are not replacing any bearings or bushings.
I need to pull mine to replace the rear. A mechanic told me if he drains the transmission fluid out to pull it he pretty much guarantees the transmissions will explode. Is this true?
This isn’t true. Unless it already has problems
My reverse went out in the taho will I be good with just a new sun shell gear and 4l60e rebuild kit
If you’re trying to get by as cheap as possible you might be ok with just that and a new filter.
If it has very many miles at all I will recommend a bushing kit. At the very least a pump bushing.
Just inspect your valve body plate really good. Make sure there’s not a ball stuck in the plate.
Any more questions let me know.
😀 thank you
Naw its gonna start going bad
By chance, is the 4L80E with transfer case on a similar make/model the same as this? Also what length extension are you using for the bell housing bolts? Great video
They are similar. The 4L80 has a dust cover that you have to take loose to get to the converter bolts. The exhaust runs right under the cover. I usually take the cover loose, and take the starter out and you can get to the converter bolts and the transmission will slide out without removing exhaust. It would be easier to take the exhaust out if your on the ground.
My extension is a 30” or 32”. It’s a 1/2” down to 38” drive. They’re really handy. I use it a lot.
I’ll try to make a video with a 4L80. Just been crazy lately. Anything else I can help with let me know
@@ltstransmissionhowto5158 Thanks for the quick response. Especially on New Years! As you mentioned, the right tool makes it that much easier. I've got a regular sized air ratchet wrench. Were you using a 1/2" air ratchet with an extended head on those converter bolts? I couldn't tell. Sometimes the extended ratchet makes things easier!
The air ratchet was 3/8. The impact I use for bell housing is 1/2. Everything else is 3/8
@@ltstransmissionhowto5158 Cool. But is it a regular length or extended version. Unsure if the thickness of the ratchet head would fit in there or not without the extended version of the ratchet.
Its regular.
Must be nice to work in a world where stuff isn't rotten and bolts just come loose.
Great video, I connected new motor to transmission, when I was bring all the bolts closer to torque converter popped back, I heard a loud crack, I was able to rotate it, I think I may have damaged the TC, I guess the center FW and TC did not line up good
Hopefully not. I’d say if anything it might’ve busted the pump gears.
@@ltstransmissionhowto5158 ok thanks, I will check them out, because now it does not go into gear, will have to watch your video in slow mo! Great Job!
Can u leave the torque converter bolted to the flywheel
Yeah you can. But it will spill fluid out when it comes out of the transmission.
