Mate hands down the best and most well explained video , got my Transmission out without a drama , tomorrow I proceed to stage 2 , thanks heaps legend 💪🏼💯
Thanks for a very professional presintation. I've assembled all the bits, tools and am ready to pull it out. Looking forward to them putting it back in.
this came in very handy to use as a reference tool. had to replace my transmission on my 2010 ve lpg model recently. only difference was my catalytic converters are actually part of my headers and couldn't unbolt them the way you did. cheers for making the video
Very well done. Detailed. I recently completed the Toyota Celica engine tear down and assembly. Compare the working area in a Celica and VE, i hope i never have to do the transmission work on my Pontiac G8.
Excellent. Thank you so much for making and sharing this video. Muchly appreciated. Now to go and watch the second part of this process. Fitting the transmission. Once again, Thank you so much for making and sharing these videos. Muchly appreciated.
Lost 5 & 6 gear in my VE SS 2006 while driving. All thanks to this tutorial I have a fair idea now on how its Done. I will try changing my Gearbox with another Manual one. Thank you so much for making this video. 👍👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍
I'm about to tackle this job myself, Just love checking youtube for big jobs make life a whole lot easier! what was the fault with your trans? mine won't go past 2nd stage! Great vid mate!
I've replaced the motor on my calais ve v6 sportswagon that has a 6 speed Trans .motor came out of a 5 speed Trans set up. When I bolted it all up to the old Trans, torque and fly wheel , the pulley becomes tight and won't spin . In turn car won't turn over . Any help be much appreciated
If the bellhousing bolts are tight (as they generally are from the factory) and you use an 11mm socket and round the bolt off, you are in deep shit! Use the correct E torqx socket, they are not expensive at any tool shop. Do not round those bolts!! If the e torqx socket is not on properly you can still round the bolt head.
How do you get the rear bolt on the passenger side CAT out , or is it easier to drop the whole manifold on that side. I can’t get a spanner or socket onto it
@@downtheshedwithbyron I actually used a 5/8” hex head and low and behold it actually undid. Either that or the 3 days of squirting it with crc . Such a poor design anyway. As are the locations of the 02 sensor plugs, just poor design imho.
@@downtheshedwithbyron I’m going one level less than you did and doing it on a stony driveway. I must like laying in the dirt either that or I am just stupid.
cannot get the cat manifold bolts off for the life of me, i’ve tried wd, crc, ratchet with extensions, rattle gun, can’t even get in there to cut em, what’s my other options
@@downtheshedwithbyron I’ve tried with a propane torch today, I had a lightbulb moment n thought maybe a trip to bunnings to get a steel bit for the drill n just drill them out, there’s no nuts underneath would just require me to buy new cat manifold bolts but may be my only option at this point
Nothing worse working on the garage floor. Difficult. Uncomfortable and hard going if your over weight. However good work as I'm the same...do all my own work...or as much as possible
Super well explained. I only watch these video's in-case of a zombie apocalypse.
Thats the go you never know haha

G'day, just wondering if it's the same deal for a vf sv6? Cheers
@@FredricksonZak it should be very similar mate 👍
@downtheshedwithbyron Beauty thanks mate, my converters decided to crack. Fluid pissing everywhere.

Awsome video mate

Yeah your not wrong bro i ended up buying a set from Bunnings haha $25 or $30 something

Oh mate i cant remember
Single hex shocket with wobble drive extensions?

@@bigmatlock62 haha 😄 legend bro
Hey, just wondering if you could tell me where the TCM (transmission control module) is located. I can’t seem to find any information anywhere.
Sorry not sure
@@downtheshedwithbyron No worries, thanks anyway!
I found it, it’s was so obvious and I feel a little silly now.
Just for reference, it’s on the left hand side near the ABS module. 😃
Yeah sweet mate thanks for that
cannot get the cat manifold bolts off for the life of me, i’ve tried wd, crc, ratchet with extensions, rattle gun, can’t even get in there to cut em, what’s my other options
Oh bro thats not cool
Can you get some heat on to them

@@trxnchthekidd bugger
Long extension and breaker bar
@@trxnchthekidd maybe try some cat wobble Drive sockets they are great to have
@@downtheshedwithbyron I’m going to have to get have to get some, I was trying to take a shortcut and see if I could go without
Mate can you shine some light on O2 sensors?
I meant by way of your knowledge and wisdom if and when you could is all cheers mate.
I'm a fan
Gday how you going
O2 sensor measures the air and fuel ratio that the engine is using or not using 👍
Well done, how long did it take to remove? i need to replace thermostat on mine, ur not lacal are u lol.
Gday
It did take long give your self a good morning and it will be out by smoko/lunch depending on how hard you work.
where are you located? also does this still work with the 5L40E (M82) 5 speed autos
Western Australia mate
Not sure on the 5l40e but similar procedure
Hi is this the same process for a 2004 executive vz?
Gday mate
I can't see it being any different good luck take it easy 👍
Might as well replace the thermostat while there.. this job is def a "fk that paying a mechanic" lol. I can do some stuff but damn.
