- Today we start working on the new budget build!
The transmission is having a problem where it won’t shift from first gear. It will go into first and reverse but that’s it. We trying fixing this by replacing the shift solenoids and also torquing the pressure converter (No idea what its called).
Thank you for watching!
Please take a moment and subscribe and like the video if you enjoyed and stray tuned to more!

Enjoyed the video, love your enthusiasm! Please don't ever get up under a vehicle with the ramps tilted like that ever again. Do it on concrete or get some stout wooden boards under them at least. Those jackstands would most likely have toppled over if that ramp had given way. Stay safe! Looking forward to more vids. I had a 1st gen Trooper long ago and am looking to get into a 2nd gen.
Hahaha yeah definitely foolish but excitement won over safety haha
$3,800 for a rebuilt transmission on a 2000 Isuzu tTrooper. Ill take one of those $200 ones! Great video btw!
Good job, you worked on that suv like a pro, congratulations.
Thank you!
Very nice video! Hope to see more Trooper content
Отличный выбор автомобиля для всякого разного! ) Успехов в реализации проекта! )
Good sound 👌🏻
Best thing to do for these auto troopers is swap them to a 5 speed lol, the 4l30e automatics are notorious for failing even after rebuilds. I tried to fix mine up before it completely failed and this was on my 99 Trooper that only had 74k miles on the clock. Cool to see these get some more attention now-a-days. Happy wheeling!!
Dang! Yeah I’m hoping this will work if not... than low key turbo diesel swap haha
2000 VEHICROSS here with 160k, got it 6 years ago with 98k on it
Basically true. But u could get another 100k on it
This is cool. I have a 1999 isuzu trooper that wont shift into 4th so Im going to try and do a transmission rebuild.
Muchas gracias por enseñarnos...suerte Amigo
Hell yeah.
I highly recommend joining both "Isuzu Trooper Mafia U.S." and "ISUZU TRADER" on Facebook groups. There are many knowledgeable Isuzu techs in those groups. Also buy you're parts off of RockAuto.com if you have a week to spare to wait for them, I have a 96 and 95% of the parts I've bought have been off of Rockauto and have had zero issues they couldn't fix. You can get premium parts for the same price as the cheap stuff at the parts house. These are super tough vehicles, keep up on the transmission fluid and filter changes and she should serve you well. Also when you were putting it on ramps I could hear a slight ticking, that's usually caused by either the lifters, which are known to be noisy in troopers, or it could be timing belt tensioner, which are also known to get noisy.
The transmission in these go bad because people wouldn't keep up with the maintenance or they were overworked. If it's running good now it's a good idea to invest in a dedicated transmission cooler and even a temp gauge for the transmission if you plan on using it as a workhorse, heat is the 4L30E's biggest problem. If you take of it, it'll take care of you.
Thank you! I really appreciate all the info!
I’m actually gonna be doing a full transmission rebuild so hopefully that will fix all future problems with the 4l30e
@@crustyoverlanding Definitely join ISUZU TRADER. I'm the resident 4l30e expert. can certainly help you out! The goal is to keep as many of these guys on the road.
Join where?
I have a 2002 with a 5 speed I love my trooper
Yeah I am hoping to get this automatic working. Off-roading with Manuel is fun but a lot easier with auto
If you have problems with the trans I'm sure there's a write up somewhere to convert to a manual. I converted my 99 Audi A4 Quattro to a
manual. Best decision I made because the auto trans is much heavier and the manual makes the engine more responsive.
Yeah but off-roading on manual is the worst in my opinion
Should make one video taking out shifter cable , I have problems the cable broke i think it stays in drive and the stick gos up and down doesn't change???????????
That's kind of the part that I need to know how to do
Hello, I just scanned my Isuzu trooper 1994 transmission codes and got a code 23 mat circuit fault. How can I find this part in order to buy it and put it in my trooper?
Ebay will be your best bet... I wouldn’t know the part number. Also check fuses
I think the '95 has the Asin 30/40LE trans not the GM abomanation until 97;with the TOD system...
Safety is no joke bud! Don't get pinned under your truck.
i send mine to be rebuild (AT),same issue can't get to reverse but now it just reverse and drive /can't shift to other gears just D .
My mechanic said it's wiring and electrical problems .
As the light indicator show transmission problems.So his advice don't make sense .pls advice /since you have similar with mine .
Just rebuild my transmission .
Yeah I gave up because I didn’t wanna deal with the electrical
is it necessay to do band adjustment ?
Not sure
Here’s a question, I’m currently rebuilding mine and two check balls fell out of the plate when I took it off to punch out the roll pins. I have an idea of where they should go but I’m not totally sure and I’m wondering if you dealt with that as well.
I highly recommend purchase or find a service repair manual and it shows everything with pictures. Worth the $20 or the the time searching online
I actually found a 4l30e disassembly video and got it figured out! I’ll post the link below for anyone else that has the same problem. Thanks for the quick response.

How did you keep the check balls from falling out when you reinstalled the valve body?
Just make sure there is oil on it and the balls seems to stay where they need too and make sure to keep it horizontal
The mic sounds real good
Thanks! Appreciate that!
From what I've read about the solenoids is that they look so similar that even the parts counter can accidentally sell you two of the same ones.
Hi, I'm from Chile, ask how do you get the pins to get the selenoids?
you didn't show it in the video thank you
So to do that you need to pull
On them with pliers but if they won’t come out like that then you take it apart like I did down to the body and then I used another pin from the opposite side or something similar in shape and hammered it out
Does that kinda make sence what I’m saying? I could give you a call and explain better if need be!
How do you take out the pin?? Can i use plier to pull it out?
So what I did was pull with pliers but that barely worked so I had to take out the whole piece with the pin and then use something the same size as the pin to hit it from the other side to knock it out
@@crustyoverlanding thanks for the info sir 🤙🏼
I can’t figure out how to drain my 1995 isuzu troopers tranny oil. Do I have to drop that pan? I just wanna drain and refill lol.
Yup… they were stupid when they built it and never put a drain plug. Some models came with drain plug but if yours was like mine than it doesn’t have it 😭
My professional muffler shop cut off my muffler and welded a new one on. Even he did not want to mess with the exhaust bolts.
* If your transmission is a 4L30E then there is still a lot of parts available. Afterall it was installed in many vehicles including some BMW and somes Cadillacs as well as many other vehicles. If memory serves me right the 4L30E was built in a GM plant in France.
* Your parts supplier should be able to cross reference 4L30E rather than be restricted to only the Isuzu Trooper.
All of that is true, but that transmission was the weak spot of the Isuzu. I had it rebuilt 3 times before I gave up on it.
Yeah it’s just one of those transmissions that was replaced and never used again for a reason
Throw a scrap piece of plywood under those jack stands
Can you tell me where you found a transmission for $200.00
I rebuilt mine for $200 it’s a kit
😬 The moment I saw you take the valve body off made be cringe. Been there and done that. Its probably going to cause you more issues now thats come off unless it all goes back exactly as its meant too.
I have a 95 trooper it only kills in reverse and third gear
I meant goes
Bad ass I have a 96 trooper it won’t get in gear
Yeah I just finished my rebuild editing the videos, I hope it turns over!
@@crustyoverlanding 🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾
Add fluid. That's the issues with these most times. That's the cheapest start also
I have a 95 trooper will only reverse and 3rd geer
Yeah transmission rebuild helped but I need a new torque converter now I think
Hear you 5 by 5
Best if you get a trooper get the manual ..autos....are not reliable
My 94 manual at 280k no rebuild...on tranny and engine
Yeah but off-roading is low key soooo much nicer with auto 😅
Or did I miss it in the video
What were you looking for? I have the rebuild videos coming but had a bunch of complications with my computer so extracting the videos manually and it’s taking forever
"That should be alright"

showing the car front about to roll off the ramps and the jacks. Please don't EVER get under any car in this situation. Dirt is not solid enough for these ramps or jacks. It's a miracle we're seeing this video. You were very lucky.
Nah I had back up Jack’s haha but yeah a bit sketchy haha
@@crustyoverlanding Sorry your transmission repair didn't work. It was a LOT of work that you put in it. I would never dare to do that, even though I do have a Trooper that is starting to slip when hot or pushed hard. And that transmission has been rebuilt twice already. That's the weak spot of that truck, as you've figured out already. This time, I'm smarting up and selling it just as you did. Enough is enough.
Yeah these 4l30e transmissions are just busted
