@@edwardmilf7586forward band just broke on my 2009 Chevy impala. Just paid to have it covered so I can’t afford to fix it atm. Should I keep it parked? Or could I use 1st and 2nd gear to get to work and back
Everything but drive works? 1 and 2 work because of the overrun band. A broken forward band = No Drive. You may have the Transmission Code stored from just before it completely failed. Sometimes the Code sets when the forward band is starting to fail.
@@christopherwatson283 exactly. 1 2 work. No d until 40mph. Got stuck about 20 min away from home when it happen. I can get to it without taking the trans out, then I’m good. Thanks for the help!!!
Grand Ams don't have 3.8 liter engines. If you have a 4t65e in a Grand Prix? The only forward will be in low 1 low 2. It will move forward using the overrun band. No Drive. Low runs on overrun band when you apply throttle. It takes more throttle but it will still get up to about 30mph.
@@christopherwatson283 it might be a 4t60 I’m not the most familiar with gm cars. It doesn’t budge at all in any gear except reverse. I found a used trans for 350$ I may just swap it for that used one
@@southernracing2468 I've never worked on one. Common as dirt used. Kinda sounds like a stripped shell or something. Don't get the wrong year and wrong drive ratio. A 2000 model quad 4 set up won't work well on a 2004 model 3400 GT. Harness differences at valve body. Valve body mods. Drive Ratio.
@@christopherwatson283 thanks for the vid. I started taking mine apart. The valve body had a couple bearings fall out so it's going to be a pain in the ass on the rebuild. Thanks a ton!!
Floor Jack. Take out the Frame bolts out on Drivers side. Loosen the ones one the Passenger Side. Raise and lower the Drivers Side SubFrame with a Floor Jack. Engine is on the Hanger. Raise and lower the Engine as needed.
@@chevettajohnson There are other Vids. You can Repair the Whole Trans without a Torque Converter Failure. That Requires Torque Converter Removal. Don't Chase a Busted Torque Converter. Nothing like a Pump Failure which is repairable.
@@chevettajohnson I'm saying you can pretty much go through the trans still bolted to the Engine. 4t65e's are in Impala, Lesabre, Park Ave, Bonneville--3.8 liter series 2's.. There's a nice vid. a Guy made about them in an Impala. If You need more reference material. Good Luck and God Bless, C
@ Fan of Lake Speed Why don't you make a video showing us how to replace a transmission band, hell how about showing us how to replace the transmission. The man did a great job showing us and he saved plenty of us good money with his video. If you have nothing to bring to the table don't talk mess.
Hit those hard to remove bolts with a decent hammer very hard before attempting to remove them, it sends a shock wave into the thread area and helps immensely to then loosen them up without rounding including the larger torx along the bottom. $30 ATSG book taken from the OEM shop manual has tons of information in it and it is available on eBay (shop smart) hard copy or free access at : procarmanuals.com/atsg-automatic-transmission-service-group-2012/ Part number lookup at: www.transpartsonline.com/TRANS_PARTS_FILE/TransmissionPartsOnline.php

Only moves forward in 2 or 1. Reverse is fine. I think this might be my issue

@@mos9905I know it’s a little late but it could be the EPC solenoid
thx for the share of knowledge.. have you made the 2nd vid on replacement of foward band , and was it broke at the pinch weld ? thx
Band was broke. Common Problem from those heavy on the foot. I forgot the reverse band in the vid. Use the input shaft to line things up.
You doesn’t have to take the valve body apart. Just take out the bolts that go richt thru the valve body.
It's the first 4t65e I've got into. I have much more experience with th125 and rear wheel drive autos. Thanks for the Info.
I have no forward gears at all in a 2003 grand am with the 4t65e reverse is great, is this most likely my issue?

Can you adjust forward band there ,also can clutches for first gear be put in
The forward band is not adjustable. You can change the clutches and steels and piston seals. I'd recommend complete disassembly if it's burned up.
Would Be NICE seeing what You're DOING, from Afar doesn't help! But Thank You for getting me in the right location!
That's about as close as I can get to video and work at the same time. There are many forward band vids. for 4t65e's. it's not for beginners.
@@christopherwatson283
Thank you, good to know!
The video did get me in the proper area anyways!
this is the front wheel drive transmission right?
Yes. GM. 4t65e

@@bradchambers4229 I use Vaseline to hold them in place. There are pics on the net that show where they go.
@@christopherwatson283 you've been an enormous help. Thanks again!
How did you take off the frame that was blocking the pan
Floor Jack. Take out the Frame bolts out on Drivers side. Loosen the ones one the Passenger Side. Raise and lower the Drivers Side SubFrame with a Floor Jack. Engine is on the Hanger. Raise and lower the Engine as needed.
