Can you tell me where you got that one blind hole bearing remover for the sun gear shaft the set I bought just dose not have the power in the hammer or the right size in the kit to get it out definitely will have get that bigger slide hammer also
Hi Patrick, I bought it off eBay over 10 years ago...It's an 'Old Forge' slide hammer (long since out of production) and a Kent Moore collet style blind hole puller...They're available on eBay from time to time. It's tough to find real good slide hammer/blind hole puller kits...OTC makes a very nice all-encompassing one but you're paying big bucks for it - I've resisted purchasing it (for now, lol).
@@nickstransmissions yes I know don't want to spend hundreds on tools either I think I will take my center support to a trans shop and have them install that bushing for me .I did find find that bushing remover and driver tool for the center support online for 10 bucks it has to be shipped from Poland or Ukraine for like 50 bucks
Omega Machine & Tool, part number 33438. Just called them, the bushings are in stock. sales.omegamachine.com/4L80E_Forward_drum_wider_bushing_p/33438.htm
Hi TurboV8, you can find it on eBay...I think it was $55 shipped if I recall correctly. Will have everything you need for most GM transmission bushings. Thank you for watching.
@@nickstransmissionswill the kits that say they’re for 4l60 work for the 4l80? The kits I see on ebay for the 4l80 are solid drivers without holes for a handle.
The intermediate clutch pack had .080 thick frictions in the 91-96 units; no cushion spring/plate...97 and up used .070 thick frictions and a cushion plate....Early and late intermediate clutch apply pistons had different casting numbers as well though I'd have to compare them on the bench to see if they are dimensionally different from each other.
@@nickstransmissions I thought so, some of the bushings I noticed that they had grooves in them. Early 4L80s and 400s lubed through the intermediate shaft, it had holes in it. The later 4L80 had a solid intermediate shaft, the lube oil flowed around it, so that is why the grooves were added. I did some parts swapping between a 400 and early 4L80. The trans that I grabbed the parts from had a tube that ran from the front to the rear for lube, so the swap was compatible. I used center support, intermediate clutch plate, and direct drum. I do have a later type 4L80, the only thing I grabbed from it was the upper bolt lug on case, so I can mount my 400 on back of a 6.0 engine. I TIG welded it in, all fits up nice.
Hi Turbo, I'd replace it if it's not nice and snug and you are testing that pump bushing on a new converter...If it's on the old converter and the converter's hub is worn, it may test a bit loose which is no big deal...You want to test it on a new converter / converter hub.
@@nickstransmissions replace the pump? Gosh I'd hate to have to do that since the pump looks good otherwise. I dont see any oversized bushings though... pump is about 4 years old, it's a fairly fancy Circle D. I don't have another converter to test it against unfortunately.
Replace the bushing, not the pump. Unless mutiple bushings are loose fitting on your new converter (confirm the converter hub OD is within spec as well before doing anything else)
@@nickstransmissions thanks for the clarification. It was a loose on the original bushing. I put a new one in and it feels exactly the same. I think it's very possible the converter isn't the correct size. I need to get a book because I'm needing more specs than I thought I would originally. If someone makes different size bushings I can slap one of those on there.
Call Omega Machine in Sacramento to see if they would make a slightly oversized pump body bushing or have one available...They sell wide forward drum bushings for those transmissions also. Website: www.omegamachine.com/db/Contact-Us.asp
I have a shop press - same thing...Not all bushings can be removed by pressing them out. I have since acquired a much better bushing puller set that takes out bushings that can't be removed via press much faster than what's shown in this video. Thanks for watching, Mike!
Awesome man Thanks. Great stuff!
Thanks!!

Thank you…!
Where can I find that bearing puller set? I was looking at a few and they only go up to 1.25", the largest one is almost 2"

Hello. what is the difference between friction discs and steel discs 91-96 and 97 up? can i use parts 91-96 to build a 97up transmission?

Thank you for your help! She's too big for me!
You're welcome, Victor.
That must be the trans that has the oil cooler return in the center support.
Yep, it’s a 2007 unit. 97+ 4l80Es all have the cooler return in the center support.

You need to invest in an arbor press, it would make this job a lot easier!!!
