12:38 you need a two-post hoist, some stabilisation straps and a big trolley lift (I know: easy to say, but not many people have the headroom and money for all of that). When I worked at Holden, the engineering garage used to raise up cars on the hoists and drop the front sub-frame, engine and transmission out as a single unit. It made engine and transmission replacements really easy, but they also had the big bucks to get the lifting gear. I can't recall about VT-VZ, but for VE/VF, even the radiator and front suspension came out as part of the subframe assembly. It made it really easy to get to all the hard to get to nooks and crannies, and double-check most of the pipework. Of course, there were a few things that needed to be dealt with before dropping the subframe and after reinstalling it, but man, it made the job a lot easier for the technicians. Threading an engine and transmission in through the top has always looked like it's doing the job the hard way after seeing how the engineering techs do it. Anyway, great video, and congrats on getting your car back on the road! 👍🏻
I am desperate for a hoist, but my garage ceiling height is 2.7m and I don't think I will get enough height on the lift to work under the car adequately.
Fucken awesome mate Gave me the confidence to do my trans too. What cam and stall have you got in that thing. The stall seems nice and loose. Its it still a 3.08 diff gear or did pareol cars have a lower one
Great channel mate. I’m guessing you are on the same side of Melb as me…(Sth East). Just wondering where you got all your parts for the 4L60e build? I’m just pulling the auto out of my VY SS now
There are a couple of decent places in Melb for 4L60E parts. M J Products and Trade-Alley. Both sell direct, or via eBay. I bought my clutch pack and steels direct from the US though. I couldn't find anywhere local for those. I also bought a couple of parts (gear sets etc) from China

@@GrouseGarage good excuse to add the garage to the renovation list! 😉 Good luck getting Mrs Grouse to agree to it! 😁
Bloody awesome work mate

Dude great work well done thank you for sharing 🇦🇺🤙

It was very interesting to see as this to me seems like a bit of a black art, good on you for giving it a go 👍🏻
I was amazed at how much is packed into an auto transmission. I'll have to tackle a manual gearbox next 😀
@@GrouseGaragehave had my trans rebuild an not sure how much trans fluid to put in or how to check it
Solid effort what did the parts costs for rebuild?
Let’s see if you’re good enough to do it with a half a carton under your belt😂 that was a bloody ripper effort👌
I'd give that a go 😀 Cheers mate.
How much trans fluid did you use and how do i check
