I taught myself how to rebuild a 4L60e in my 96 Tahoe 12 years ago. RUclips was the main reason. I watched every video on here. I bought 3 books and read them front to back. At the end, I learn to just rebuild the unit back the way it came from GM. The transmission worked on the first try. I did have have a front seal leak. I later found out it came from not lining the pump up right. I also had a 2-3 shift flair. That was because the parts guy sold me a 4 cylinder spacer plate. After drilling out the 3rd gear supply hole. The slip was gone.
Youre like my old pops Richard. When you get good at something it gives you a jolt of energy to wrestle it and get it done. Came off the farm in Olton Texas and did water law for the farmers out here. Over 60 years a lawyer!
I had a ‘91 gmc sierra. It had the 4L60. And after that tranny went, the very first one i came across was the right one. Guess i got lucky there. From what you’re saying, there wasn’t all that many around.
I really really enjoy your videos an I want to thank you personally. Not a lot of your videos have comments. I watched every video on the 4l60e for my 95 Buick roadmaster wagon. 95 is a one year set up! I’m a mechanic not a tranny guy! I machined my own compresses for the spring packs. Your a master of your craft an you also helped me with a power glide I did. Thank you 🙏
Glad your back- I want to thank you for your knowledge you are sharing with us- you help me tackle my 4L80e in my 1992 Chevy truck-something I would never tackled with out your video’s-thanks again
Always know it's going to be a good show when Richard gets past the pump and the transmission is making tinkling noises like a broken christmas ornament in a box...
I live near LEE MASSACHUSETTS where ONYX PAPER IS LOCATED, ONYX PAPER makes the clutch paper material that is used in the application of automatic transmission clutch plates. The paper is also used in many clutch assembly that require clutch type operations
Thank you all again for another great video. Always a pleasure to watch. Glad your shoulder is doing well and you've gotten your strength back. Be well.
Just to watch one video here CAN CHANGE MY DAY ... Always Positive and Always Technical and Always Humble and Down to Earth, talking NORMAL just as if (YOU) and Richard at the bench.!!! Thanks for ALL the great videos over the years.. What is Never / NOT On This Site ......UNLIKE Some people with good skills make up for lack of experience Drinking Monster and talk like a chainsaw and exaggerate every meaningless point ..
This guy knows his stuff ask me how I know he helped me out when I was having trouble with my transmission and no one else had any clue what was wrong with it.
I really enjoy your videos, very informative , even for this old guy, on the down hill slide to 70 and still like working on my own gear boxes, differentials and engines. Keep up the good work you guys and good luck.
every time I watch one of your video's I'm amazed at how much you know about that transmission and just wanted to know how you keep it all straight, so you don't mix it up with another transmission.
So glad to see you back to doing transmissions and other things! Last I seen you and Trent had a falling out and you just had surgery! Glad to see you back in the habbit!
I've rebuilt everything on a car except an automatic transmission. Installing a B&M shift kit is as far as I've trusted myself with those. I envy people like Richard who can go through any automatic transmission without hesitation. Subscribed!
I’m glad I found your new site. I’d like to find out what you did to a 727 transmission and put a 48RE front drum in it. I would like to know how you did that. Great videos. I’ve never seen anyone knock a transmission apart so fast and be as knowledgeable as you are! I hope you read comments and will reach out to me about the drum swap. Thank you either way because you have opened my eyes about automatic transmissions. As a toolmaker for over 50 years, you make great sense!! God bless you and Theresa!
If Richard & Teresa were my parents, I would have gone into the family business and not gone into nursing. I'm retired, so it's too late to go back now.
I enjoyed the video guys, u were speaking of cores,in my home town has a junk yard and I see a lot of transmission in it last time I was in there.. I know them well... just saying..
Boy that looks like the 4l60e I pulled out of my 2005 Trailblazer. I pulled the pan and saw pieces of the rear planetary and instantly bought another core.
I bought a 91 c1500 chev 350 engine for $500 a long time ago and it had this same transmission. No third or 4th gear. I remember being so proud after downloading the ASTG rebuild manual, cleaning everything up and rebuilding that puppy and having it work. still have the truck today. love all the tips and tricks from Richard's videos. his videos are a blessing to all of us. I am going to put a power switch in line to control my lockup, it likes to shift lockup at 35 at light throttle and its annoying sometimes. not sure what else to do or modify to fix that? anyone have input? cheers!
Hi Richard & Teresa I was following yall on yalls old videos I have been looking for yall. I have a 09 GMC Sierra I was wanting the transmission rebuild by yall it lost reverse thank yall for the videos
I never thought about it but the way it's spinning like he said it throws all the oil off of it if there isn't a constant supply and makes it go dry instantly.
perfect timing on the video just had the rear planet on my 4l60 go boom. Interested in the part number for the pressure switch! Thanks for a great video
Hey Richard I have a 93 4l60e and I've been looking for that shift lever on that transmission since summer of 2020. Any way I could possibly buy that from you? It's a discontinued part and I'm trying to restore my 93 Chevrolet C2500 and currently overdrive is in-between OD And D when centered on park because I had to use a 700R4 shift lever to get it to shift 😂
Richard, could u show us from start to finish takng it apart, showing us what's wrong, cleaning it explain what you see&needs replaced, putting it all back together, installation? I knw its alot but you can have othr members of your team do it too. Thnks again for your knwldge
@29:04 Richard's in the dog house again. LOL. Remember when the ladies voluntarily put the "hot oil" in their hair. Who was that Vidal Sassoon? @37:15 Been a while for that kind of carnage! Just do the right thing and pretend you didn't see that. This is APPROVED!! @38.59 Sorry Richard....they did it again...start the cycle again next year. I guess Jerry couldn't get it done.... As for me? THE LIONS WIN! H3LL has begun to freeze over. Saw the devil today coming around looking for more brimstone for the depths of the abyss wondering what is going on. Told him the Lion's beat the Rams in the Wildcard came. He just said "Oh boy, might need a winter jacket". LOL...
I really appreciate you Richard, and I live in Huntersville NC, just outside Charlotte, and I am looking for a dependable transmission for my Buick 455 engine, and I would like to have an overdrive transmission for it, but I just don't know who i can trust to buy a dependable performance transmission, because the engine will be around 450 horsepower if everything goes right, and wanted to see if you could recommend someone in my area that is dependable and I can trust to know what they are doing like you do? I used to overhaul Transmissions in the late 70s and early 80s, but it has been so long that I don't trust my memory to building a performance tranny, and even though I used to modify turbo 400's and they were bullet proof for the times, but I am looking for a 200 overdrive, as long as i can get the TV cable and bracket for it to operate properly, or a 4L80E that has a stand alone computer controller and a BOP case for it to work with my engine. Can you recommend someone out here, or could you build one for me at a reasonable price that you could ship to me??
Hey yall is precision transmissions open for business? Google says yall are temporarily closed. I just found the new RUclips channel. Been watching old precision transmissions videos on the other channel. Hoping for some new content so I'm glad I found this channel!! I'm glad to see you all are doing well!
To most people a car is a thing that takes you places you put gas in and the magic little gremlins turn gas in to forward motion. I have a guy at work who has bricked two brand new engines since I have known him. He drives a car till it seizes and gets a new one. Never changes the oil.
Thanks to Richard and what I've learned from his channel I finally passed my ASE transmission test
Congratulations, the ASE tests are not easy!
One of the happiest days of my life was to see you back on RUclips…..🎉 god bless y’all

Wore plum out! Glad you're back Richard!
Thank you were excited to be back
Every city small and large needs a shop just like this. Richard is the man
Richard: 'I think we've got enough clearance in our 3-4 clutch.'
Teresa laughs from experience. 😂
Wow, didn't know you started a new channel. So glad I found it. Love the videos.
Good to finally find your new channel! I used to always wonder what happened to you guys. Been about a year but it's great to be back!
Youre like my old pops Richard. When you get good at something it gives you a jolt of energy to wrestle it and get it done. Came off the farm in Olton Texas and did water law for the farmers out here. Over 60 years a lawyer!

I missed you so much. I am glad I found you, and you are back on YT. Much love from Montreal.
We are excited that you found us too. Thank you for your support.

Your familiarity with these transmissions is always so impressive.
Thank you all again for another great video. Always a pleasure to watch. Glad your shoulder is doing well and you've gotten your strength back. Be well.
Found your channel, you are the man that knows your stuff. Thanks for the in-depth takedown.

It definitely never gets old. This is Richard. Have a great day.
Pleasure to watch you work and pass on information! You have a lot stored in your grey matter!
Hey Richard, I’m so glad you guys are back on RUclips I missed you… I hope 2024 is awesome for you guys
'97 Cherokee AW/4 Auto original at 340,000 miles when I sold it still running fime. Serviced every 2 years
Hi Richard, thnk you for your knowledge. I hvnt learned too much but I appreciate your knowledge&explanation for how it works in detail. Be safe
i found him again finally!
Ms T is good, she was seeing bad parts before R, have watched a few of her vids when R was laid up, very capable. What a team.
Hey Richard and Teresa, great to see you guys back. I just subscribed been a while. Love your videos.😊
Holy moly! You’re back!
needa weld you a support brace to the middle of that table so it won't bounce as much, put a screw in adjustable foot to keep it nice and firm.
Richard is on point today. Very entertaining
YESSSSS!!!!!! I was missing this content and Richard! Seeing you back on youtube made my day!
Thank you for sharing your love of automatic transmission repair!!!
Glad to see you back!!!
every time I watch one of your video's I'm amazed at how much you know about that transmission and just wanted to know how you keep it all straight, so you don't mix it up with another transmission.
So glad to see you back to doing transmissions and other things! Last I seen you and Trent had a falling out and you just had surgery! Glad to see you back in the habbit!
Love your show off for a while, and I was very sad
We are excited that you found us. We are excited to be back.
Hiya buddy!!!! I missed you, and I didn't know where you'd gone! I am SO GLAD to find you again!!!
Yep, I thought there was going to be some serious carnage around that rear planetary . Good video guys . :)

Thanks for the video! I enjoy your channel 😊
sure wish yall would show us how to put em together tearing apart we all can do thanks for what yall do very informative
Have not watched the video yet but I am sure it is another great informative one.
If Richard & Teresa were my parents, I would have gone into the family business and not gone into nursing.
I'm retired, so it's too late to go back now.
Its good to see you back ! I've missed seeing your videos Richard. I subscribed
I enjoyed the video guys, u were speaking of cores,in my home town has a junk yard and I see a lot of transmission in it last time I was in there.. I know them well... just saying..
Good morning from frigid Eastern Washington. 😎👍Top 'o the day to you.
Great video you two, makes my day every time I watch. Keep it up!!!
i would honestly drive across the country to have richard build and install a transmission for me
Great Video! Thanks.
This is the unit that I run in my '71 F250 highboy. Yes you read my comment correct.
That planetary set must have sounded absolutely grate in the vehicle.
I like the camera angle , when you are working on that bench.
So glad you are back!
Boy that looks like the 4l60e I pulled out of my 2005 Trailblazer. I pulled the pan and saw pieces of the rear planetary and instantly bought another core.
good video, I used to fix these back in the 90s

Nice to see you guys "back at us"! Missed you!
that was a real blown up one! Great video as usual!
Me too, this is so interesting 👍🇸🇪
Dang...i wondered where you went R&T! Happy New Year!
Glad to have you back.
YOU SHOULD OF BEEN A TEACHER YOUR U TUBES ARE SO. INTERESTING AND EDUCATIONAL. I WATCH ALL OF THEM. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK
Nice one! Bummer that you didnt get a lot of parts but looks like you got what you needed
Somewhere in Germany is an engineer in a lab coat fainting watching Richard slamming the trans against the wall and table. 😅
Love your video's
I love these damb videos how can I go work under y’all to get the knowledge
Hello Richard, I'm curious do you work on the Ford 6r80 transmissions as well? Would love to see you teardown one of those
Hey Richard I have a 93 4l60e and I've been looking for that shift lever on that transmission since summer of 2020. Any way I could possibly buy that from you? It's a discontinued part and I'm trying to restore my 93 Chevrolet C2500 and currently overdrive is in-between OD And D when centered on park because I had to use a 700R4 shift lever to get it to shift 😂
when the normally red/pink transmission fluid is so dirty and burnt that looks like motor oil, you know there's gonna be some calamity.
Always remember the check balls
Richard, could u show us from start to finish takng it apart, showing us what's wrong, cleaning it explain what you see&needs replaced, putting it all back together, installation? I knw its alot but you can have othr members of your team do it too. Thnks again for your knwldge
You know for not having a hardened shell, it still managed to twist the end of the reaction shaft nearly in half.
Its been awhile. Good vid
How is your drag car doing these day's. Love your videos.
@29:04 Richard's in the dog house again. LOL. Remember when the ladies voluntarily put the "hot oil" in their hair. Who was that Vidal Sassoon?
@37:15 Been a while for that kind of carnage! Just do the right thing and pretend you didn't see that. This is APPROVED!!

Great job!
"Go Cowboys" well..... that did not age well. Lol
After seeing all the 4L60 problems, I’m almost paranoid about my 4L75.
Hey yall is precision transmissions open for business? Google says yall are temporarily closed. I just found the new RUclips channel. Been watching old precision transmissions videos on the other channel. Hoping for some new content so I'm glad I found this channel!! I'm glad to see you all are doing well!
No it's closed. Richard has moved his business to his home I believe.
A transmission costs as much as an engine, yet people fail to maintain them. I don't understand
Lol a 4l60e will just decide to break a sun gear. It's china junk in everything chevy
Some are not really serviceable so there’s that.
To most people a car is a thing that takes you places you put gas in and the magic little gremlins turn gas in to forward motion. I have a guy at work who has bricked two brand new engines since I have known him. He drives a car till it seizes and gets a new one. Never changes the oil.
People don't give a crap..a vehicle is just a big ass coffee maker. When it breaks you walk away and grab a new one.
Hey I need my Tahoe how do I get the transmission God do it? It's a Texas truck so it should get it done in Texas lol
It quit filtering 50.000 miles ago... 😂😂
Hay man I was wondering since you always be doing those videos of these can you post a parts list on a 4l60e and the reassembly of the parts as well
