Those shavings mean business. But we always hope its something simple. hardly ever is. You have what I would call a catastrophic failure. I feel your pain. I had to get my 2000 F150 tranny overhauled but had 218K. No shavings, just built in mileage failure.
Needs full rebuild, possible hard parts damage, fluid is overheated. driveway tip of the day...after loosening the pan allowing initial fluid drain just slide a floor jack under the pan and have it loosely support the pan until all bolts are out then with 2 hands support the pan against the trans firmly removing the slack and kick the jack away so the pan can be lowered.
My silverado had these same symptoms last year, wouldn't drive in reverse and felt like something was binding up in the transmission, but i could drive forward all day long for awhile, then after i tried to back up again it started binding up in forward and reverse both, dropped the trans pan and found metal chunks, long story short, chevys stock torque converters in the 2013 6 speed silverados are junk, it never locked up fully, threw debris in the pump and burned it up, scored the bellhousing, and starved the rest of the trans of fluid. The planetary gears in the trans were chipped thus binding the whole operation up. Had to get a $3200 rebuild. So in advance if you're looking to buy a silverado make sure that it has a 4L80e and not a 6L80e.
I will tell you from experience that little yellow plug that you see inside the pan is the plug that would normally block the dipstick tube hole in the transmission they push that through when they insert the dipstick tube when the truck is being manufactured. A lot of times that plug will fall down into the pan and it's usually forgotten about it won't harm anything but to any good mechanic that knows what to look for if somebody brings in their vehicle with transmission trouble and they find that plug still in the pan that's usually a good indication that the vehicle has never had the transmission serviced. It looks like your transmission never ever had a fluid change.
Hey Joel, I'm aware this video is 3 years old. But if you plan to change your own fluid and filter in the future. B&M, others to probably, sells an aftermarket drain plug you can install into the pan. The only thing the kit doesn't come with is the drill bit to make the hole. It's definitely worth the few bucks!!
I have a 02 f1504x4 paid 300 for the truck ppl said tht the transmission would only work in reverse but I drop the pan no metal shaving no burnt smell I'm adding a new filter tomorrow n new fluid what else should I check before that
I have a Toyota axio 2009, and for some reasons the Drive gear just stopped working. The car won't drive forward but can go on reverse. How can I fix it without necessarily replacing the whole transmission?
Great vid buddy . Need some help my 2005 F-150 4.6L 2wd . . .I entered my apartment and ran over a big pot hole And truck feels like it lost all drive gear??? Only reverse works :/ any advice??? Thanks :)
The next time for anyone watching you just take the main drain hole plug assembly out of the pan before to drain the fluid very easy the larger plug that connect directly to the pan simply remove that drain it and then remove the pan easy peasy
I have a 2004 GMC Envoy. Gears are shifting but truck just revs. No gears work. When I put it in park, it makes a nasty grinding noise. I have to place bricks under my tires or it will free roll. I really hope this video is only what's wrong. HELP!
Hey did you ever get this fixed, am having the same problem with my 2014 jeep wrangler, I went one morning to drive my jeep and it won't move, and I drove it the day before and it was fine, am so confused right now, any advice would be greatly appreciated,thanks .
I brought to transmission shop and they rebuilt. Shortly after the truck was totaled out. I hope you get your problem figured out, sure is frustrating.
That's the bung or plug that fills the hole for the dipstick. Once the dipstick and tube are installed at factory, the bung gets pushed out and droppes into the pan.
I could be wrong but i think a 120 ft.lbs.is excessive for those bolts,more like 10-20 ft.lbs.if you strip one of those,getting the gasket to reseal could be a knightmare... He did say ft.lbs..and edited inch lbs..witch 120 inch lbs..would be 10 ft.lbs..
After the fluid change I just gave up on the car. It's just sitting in the driveway until I'm ready to junk it. I felt like the first time it was the transmission giving me a warning. Now it's just gone out. Didn't get professional opinion though
@@lisahughes7053 just actually solved it on my uncles car, so we did 3 things, be my guest to try one at a time to know what the problem was. I said it was the computers that needed a reset, & the fluid was too high. There's 2 set of notches on the dip stick the lower one is what you're working with unless the car is hot you want to make sure you fill it between the lower set of notches on the dip stick not past. They filled it with double what it should have been. Also just leave the battery unplugged for a while to reset the computer ez. My uncle and cousin wanted to redo it. We got a new filter & gasket from advance auto parts & more transmission fluid. We redid it wiggled the solenoids with clean gloves on & hand tightened everything back together no big tools. Replaced the battery and filled the transmission one to one & a half bottles of transmission fluid until you get to the bottom notches of the dipstick. Give it a couple minutes in between filling to check the dipstick to let the fluid settle. Lmk if you get the chance to try it we are curious what it was. It's running better than it ever was like a completely different car magnificent.
help here. i have a 2022 camaro lt1. i rode over a big rock which busted my radiator but I'm having the same problem with the trans shifts but wont move. any comments would help.
I'm glad you asked. I brought it to the transmission shop and they did a full rebuild for about $2600. Needless to say I no longer have the truck as it was costing me too much. I now have a 2005 F150 that needs to have the transfer case replaced. I guess that's what I get when I buy them cheap. Thanks for asking.
@@Sip28 the transmission guy explained to me that it was pretty messed up inside, he also showed me the parts that were in bad shape and had ground apart. I understood it the best I could and trusted he was shooting me straight.
@@joelongrid7625 how do you know the transfer case is bad? i have a 2002 f150 fx4 and when i back up sometimes or go forward something seams like its locking up on it. u joints in main shaft are new.

@@wayneb1357 That was my experienced before my transmission was done. But I can still feel that it changes gears when I tried but it it not engaging. I am thinking of the torque converter.
Man Sir don’t use those types of wheel chalks use something smaller and try never lifting your truck from the skid plate and last that pan is not torque to 150 ft pounds probably 150 inch pounds
Bro a transmission jack,an impact and BAM!!! no more dead time on your videos... and maybe a raise!!
Ha, for sure but then I might have to start doing it to make money. Maybe I better stick to what I know. Thanks for watching.

For sure. I never had a tranny go bad so I was surprised. It did get a full rebuild. Thanks for watching.
Those darn nightmare transmission pans! And their silly little 14 or so bolts! Nice video, great explanation and presentation!
Thanks, You are right on!
Similar failire I'm repairing on a client's Ford E-150 Van. Only reading temp sensor failure but it's more complicated with nearly 300K on it

Could you tell me what was the yellow float type thing for?
That's the bung or plug that fills the hole for the dipstick. Once the dipstick and tube are installed at factory, the bung gets pushed out and droppes into the pan.

That’s excessive for about any bolt on that truck, much less a aluminum pan and case.
Had this problem over a month ago change transmission oil and now filter. It worked good for a month now its not moving again

Yep, that transmission was never serviced. Cause of many failures on these transmissions.
