You're an awesome mechanic, we get it. I feel it's a bit hubristic to do the job one handed. However, thank you so much, this is the perfect instructional video. Not for just this particular subject (although, every other video on the matter is butts) but, just in general. Everyone said I need a new transmission, but I knew that wasn't the answer. I can mechanic like a son of a bitch, but transmission stuff makes me a bit nervous. I did some digging around, and low and behold, a leaking seal. This video saved me THOUSANDS of American money units. Thank you dude.
Great lighting, clear video, professional narration, with helpful tips and explanation! Thank you. We all need more of guys like you as teachers in our schools.
First of all, thanks for making this channel. It is awesome! I just rebuilt my first 4l60e and I found driving that the trans skips 2nd gear and goes right into 3rd. It also does this when shifting manually as well. After watching your video on the 1-2 shift solenoid something is wrong there. Wondering if you have any other advice? Thanks
I have a 97 toyota 4runner 4x4. My seal went bad too, i went to dealership to by a seal and mine looks all rubber. Is this tool something i can rent at auto part's store and would it work the same? Also can I use red lucas barring grease? Only on the back where it meets the inside of transmission, or also on the inner part which makes it slide on the shaft?
I have an 06 Escalade with the 4L65E, would this procedure be the same? Mine was leaking from the cooler lines but has started leaking from this seal as well. I had the shop look for the leak when they did the abs bleeding after I replaced some break lines and calipers and they said it was leaking from there. First time viewer but keep up the good work man, no fluff and just straight to the point with the instructions.
I'm going to ask a question about 2006 expedition 4x2. transmission was fine, engine seized, installed reman, picked up and would floor it and it's took forever to get to speed. stopped checked fluid, it's normal. get in and it's in limp mode. a harness was melted to cat, replaced and transmission went almost to normal. when first put in reverse or drive it won't go, I need to get RMP, up then it will slam into gear. any help on what to tell mechanic to look at? thanks Mark jefferds
Hey man, I have been watching a ton of your videos, they have been incredibly helpful for figuring out my issues on my 4l60. Basically I have narrowed my problem to the TCC apply valve in the transmission pump. Can this be replaced without pulling the trans? I know it's held in with just a snap ring and can be seen from the pan area after pulling the harness with the TCC apply solenoid attached. Sonnax sells a drop in valve to fix my issue (no converter lockup, and no flow to the transmission cooler) Any info is appreciated, thanks!
hey mate not super common here in aus and we have a lot of sedans and wagons and ute here with these units v6 and v8 cars but if rebuilding defiently replace
I have a Hyundai Tiburon and that shaft is so stiff the car was stuck in reverse, how easily is that piece replaced and could I be lucky enough that the issue isn’t actually as bad as I think lol
@@SouthpawAutoworks the lady at the transmission place quoted me 1300 before taxes if she has to remove the transmission to replace that seal she said it would be minimal cost if she didn't have to do that. She said she won't know until she looks at the truck seems like they should know before looking at the truck if I tell her what kind of truck it is
I called it a shift shaft the other day, and the guy picked me for hours. He said it’s called a selector shaft. They were even all dancing, some kind of little jig and singing shift shaft shift shaft they picked at me for hours seem like

The removal tool listed has too small of a diameter to fit around my 05 tahoe 4l60e. What's the issue?

Yes.
The positive feedback is appreciated.
Glad you found the channel.

Hi Robert
It might be too much to ask but
Can you do a video on rebuilding a jeep AW4 transmission
Thanx

How do you keep doing another home run can't wait for the next one, what happened to the other guy I forgot his name keep up the amazing work !!!
It must be the juice...
Thanks for being here, Kenny. Appreciate you.
Excellent video, nice quality work! Thank you!
Excellent video would this seal under normal circumstances cause a significant leak?

do you have the tool # for that extractor tool
I have a Hyundai Tiburon and that shaft is so stiff the car was stuck in reverse, how easily is that piece replaced and could I be lucky enough that the issue isn’t actually as bad as I think lol
As always, amazing work, more frequency man
More to come!
Can this be done without taking the transmission off the truck on a 1993 Chevy 2500
This can definitely be done in the vehicle.

You would think they would have a better idea over the phone, with all of the vehicle info (year, make, model, VIN). But, hey...
My tranny won’t change from 2nd to 3rd

That sounds real productive.
