Sorry about the Video Quality. I guess its time for a new Video Camera.
Nice video Nathan. I've subscribed to your channel after watching you rebuilt the ford explorer. I've got an 03 explorer with 162000 miles on it and the trans is going on it. Motors in good shape it's a 4.0 v6. Should I have I have it replaced with a remanufactured one or have the original rebuilt. My friend has a trans for it but had 120000 on it and was thinking about swapping them while having the original rebuilt. Your thoughts please and thank you.
If his word says its a good transmission, I see no reason why. Besides he might make you a great deal!
Very helpfull thanks ☺️
Song ??
The first one lol
Nice video. Love the time lapse too. Just replaced spark plugs, struts, shocks, now ready to tackle trans fluid thanks to your video. Keep em coming bro
The 4L60E in the Trailblazer (and almost every other light duty RWD or 4WD GM vehicle from the 80s to about 2010) is a 4 speed overdrive transmission (4th gear is the overdrive). It has a lockup torque converter too, but that's not considered a gear. I don't think GM ever had a 5 speed longitudinal automatic. The 4 speed 4L60 and 4L80 were replaced with the 6 speed 6L80/6L90.
Yep true. I will say there pretty easy to rebuild with some know how.
@@FixingWithPassion One of the channels I like to watch is Precision Transmission. He rebuilds a whole lot of 4L60Es, he's probably done hundreds of them so he knows his stuff!
I love this truck. I have a 2005 LT. Third gear went out. Had to drop 2K having it overhauled but now she runs like a top
Nice!!
There are two versions of filters for this vehicle. Looks like you pulled out a shallow version and put in a deep version. Your pan looks like the deep version, so guess you fixed someone else's mistake on last trans oil change.
Good to know.
Agree - good thing you changed the filter. You deff have the deep pan and someone put a shallow pan filter in there. Drive well knowing you have the right filter that won’t fall down.
Thanks for the extra details -- like mentioning there are actually two different size filters. Too many RUclips videos leave out or don't know these little tips, which can cause you a lot of trouble when you DIY if you don't already know them. Great Job!
Right! Sweet!`
Trailblazing all the way.. Thumbs up on the vid!!!
Video quality is good enough Nathan, and I especially like your speaking voice and description of what you are doing and why . You kind of sound like Alan Alda, and another excellent youtuber This Old Tony ;) Pardon my ignorance, but I didn't see how you refilled the transmission. I am assuming you pour the new fluid down the dipstick tube ? (2004 GMC Envoy)
Yes Just filled it up through the dip stick hole. I'll have to check him out ;)
Hmmm .....I love the. wooden Log trick , It is brilliant
Nice Video - Thank You for taking the time to put this together - this and a differential flush and fill are next on my Envoy list of repairs.
Nice!!
@@FixingWithPassion - Like Red Green used to say: "If women don't find you handsome, they should find you handy." ;)
Subbed i have a 2003 ltz with 147k miles and she has been old faithful
Thank you! Just changing mine for the first time @130,000. Guess it had never been changed😢 a "little slipping" right now....hopefully that will change afterwards! Was told "Lucas" should be put in at this point, any thoughts?
You can try it, but still drive conservatively. Sounds like some clutches are going south.
Nice work! I've done some at home "gentle flushes" before with disconnecting the trans cooler lines up front, put some vinyl tubing on them, run into a bucket marked in quarts. Start the truck, let it pump out 4-5 qts, shut it off, refill with the same amount, rinse & repeat several times. That seems to get the most old fluid out of it including the converter and doesn't hurt anything. Maybe try that next time since you won't need a filter.
Thanks! I just might try that~
Great show thanks, saying hello from Milwaukee
Nice!!
Is there a specific torque the pan bolts have to be at
Gracias por el video,muy bien explicado.solo tengo una pregunta.yo tengo una trailblazer 2002 cuánto líquido necesito para cambiar el aceite de transmisión.se lo agradezco.
Nice job
Word!!
Thanks 😎
What kind of silicone did you use for the gasket
Had the vehicle had a change prior to this and did the transmission have any problems after the fluid change?
Can you push the filter into the housing with the seal on top of the filter neck or does the seal need to be knocked into place seperately??
Great video
Nice!!
Where do you add the transmission fluid back in? Is there a fill port for it under the hood?
Yes.
Hey, fellow Mountaineer! Nice test drive through B-ville! I watched all of your TB vids. I just bought a 2002. Thought I would get an easy fixer-upper. Not so! Have a replacement engine setting on the trailer in the driveway :-( I knew nothing much about these TBs before. Your vids among others helped a lot.. Keep the TB vids coming! Thanks.. I SUBBED you!
Nice....Hopefully you can get it fixed!
i did this to my 2008 crown vic, found the yellow plunger they put in from the factory which tells me the pan has never been dropped, filled it back up with new fluid filter and added a bottle of lucas, 4000 miles later no problems
Nice! Mine a quark factory gasket!
@@FixingWithPassion I was afraid at first because some people say don't touch the fluid if it hasn't been changed in a while
Call that the chery
Hey Nathan I was curious to see if you knew. Your video came up when I have been trying to do some research about no reverse in my blazer. Do you know maybe if I get a new filter and put fresh transmission fluid in it maybe it will be ok?
Nope...Bigger issues.
My Manuel book says dexVl , am not sure if I can use dex three?
I found the trans filter to be so dirty that putting the hose pressure to it produced a bubbly red paste almost like coagulated blood after about 25 seconds.
Thank you for the great video!
Nice!
Good job man,just bought the exact same truck,lol,had to put a new coil pack on it(previous owner had new one and when he connected the sensor into it one of those 3 prongs bent and went slightly above the hole over the top where it would still plug or snap all the way down as if plugged but 1 prong actually bent),and of course I didn’t see that until I bought a new one and replaced it already..How many mpg you get on avg??
I'm wondering if you know something about a problem I'm having with my 2004 Trailblazer but I don't want to go through all the details if you're not interested
Would you do me a favor and tell me what would make the transmission stuck in the third gear? I have changed the A and B solenoid but still.
However, it shits when I take my foot of the accelerator and let the pressure RPM go down to like 1 or 1.5 and then it shifts.
This is trailblazer 2005
Computer diagnosis does not show any issues!!!
I am going crazy bcoz of this, plz guide me!
Thanks a lot!!!!
read the dipstick and check the fluid level first.
low fluid level will cause a lot of issues.
I put dex6 in my trailblazer 2002. works great and it is back compatible... Dex 3 is not even suppose t be on the shelf its only there because of power steering pumps still needing it. however dex 6 works great with power steering as well...
Dex 6works better but you should only use it if youre doing a complete flush. If you mix it with dex3 theres been problems reported with the fluids mixing. Alot of my chev heads swear by using whats on the dipstick regardless of superseding.
You have no idea what your talking about. Calls for dex 3 that's what you put in it. No way use dex 6 in a older Chevy
@@crackerjack8115 obviously dex 3 does not protect the transmission components as well as dex 6 otherwise, there would be no need for a dex 6 if dex 3 would work right? its common sense.
@@DTechnologyservices older vehicles are designed for Dexron III, and nothing else.
But, it's your vehicle. Do what YOU want.
But please don't mislead anyone.
@@timgiles9413 no the later the oil the better protecting it is this is stated from chevy
Did you have any problems with the transmission afterwards?
Hum...no.
Hi did you put in the same amount of oil you drained at first
Maximum oof. Never use an impact to tighten bolts on a gasket, also theres a pattern to torque down the bolts to ensure the gasket is flattened out and seals properly. Its typically a cris cross pattern from the middle working your way out. Other than that the video was good, just words of wisdom from someone who does it for a living.
He didn't. He ran them up then used a torque wrench for the final torque.
Lol maximum oof, you clearly didn't watch closely
I bought my 2006 trailblazer used the car has 165,000 miles shifts perfect the lady I bought it from said she never did anything to transmission. Would it hurt to do a filter change on it?
Roger M honestly, I wouldn’t change it, unless it was changed at 100,000 it could be risky!
adrienne chester why is it risky?
@@elpatron4299 because new transmission fluid can clean the varnish from the old dirty transmission and cause it to slip
see Chrissfix on youtube
@@timgiles9413 thanks I will check him out
Exelente video pero no vimos como quitó el filtro
Wordly!~
Is that a deep pan filter or shallow pan
Strange how the filter just pushes up in there seems like bumps and vibration from driving would come loose over time .
Yea...I hate it.
Not at all my friend the fluid itself acts as a vibration damper. Sure it sloshes around while driving but not enough to wiggle the filter loose over time.
@@koshnaranek2317 Interesting and unique no doubt 👍
What type of silicone to put on gasket to hold in place?
2002 Chevy trailblazer want pull it's self should I change transmission
Y yaaa....
The fluid type should be on the dipstick also.
If recommend dexron 3 in manual would it make any significant difference good or bad if I put dex4?
Maybe...
If it calls for Dexron III, don't use anything else.
That's what it's designed for.
The transmission dipstick also tells you what fluid to use.
Using different transmission fluid than what the manufacturer recommends for that vehicle can cause transmission failure.
Could this help with gas mileage?
Not really
Have you had shifting problems my seems like the shift solenoid is going back i bought it used from s buddy an he used it for a few months during winter then I bought it mine is 3 owner's now an not sure if anyone has changed the transmission fluid since? Etc... but my is jumpy an doesn't want to go into 2nd or 3/4th gear and i know these have shift solenoid problems that are common 🤔 if you or anyone has had problems with their trailblazer or 4l60E transmission let me know what you did to fix it thanks...
Had 3 trailblazers...all shifted perfectly. Usually when they go bad its the hard parts that are damaged.
That type of fluid it’s good quality?
Where are you located I was raised in Eastern KY (Clay Co.) Your test drive reminded me of home. lol
Northern West Virginia
Bought my 2007 in 2016 with only 54k miles now she only has 88k on her
Nice!!!
I love that someone of your generation is playing this type of music lmao
Should of switched to 6 DeX 3 is no longer ownee by Chevy and they recommend using 6 nown
Thanks!
