4L60 shelf build valve body, built and installed! 

Best explanation and build of a 4l60e valve body on Earth, period!!!

Dude, you're smart! You make it seem soooo easy. Lord, don't let me mess up my truck🙄😫 imma about dive in 💪🏻

David - sweet video. I’ve watched all your videos and appreciate your contributions for the rest of us out here in the trenches building at home. I’m doing nearly an identical valve body build right now that you could consider a mix match of parts. 4L60E - TransGo SK Kit + Sonnax Pinless Accumulators (FWD, 1-2, 3-4). So many mixed opinions out here and tough to get a straight answer. I am well aware that the Sonnax Pinless 1-2 Accumulator Piston does not play well with the TransGo HD2 spring arrangements (nor the SK Junior if I remember correctly) and I think many people generalize this as an answer of “Do Not Use TransGo springs with Sonnax Pinless Accumulators”. I noticed you’re one of only 2-3 people I’ve seen use the 1-2 Pinless Accumulator with what looks to be an SK kit shown in your video. Any issues with this as I’m looking to do the same thing but can’t get a straight answer from a reputable builder such as yourself?? In my opinion I’d like to say the SK kit is the only spring arrangement for the 1-2 you can get away with this without any modifications or worries - I’d love to hear your feedback? Thanks and keep up the vids!! 9:23

These vids are really going to help when i build my 95 4L60e. Thanks again for spending your time sharing David Cheers

The brain of the 4L60

i would really like to see a video of after rebuilt transmission was installed in vehicle and your procedure for adaptive reset and learn procedures with scanner like a snap on and any other things you do on a new install and break in

Great video thank you❤️❤️❤️

And chances you I could get a parts list maybe part numbers of the 2 kits sonnax and transgo that your using thanks I really enjoy your videos

Looks like your arm calibration is pretty damn close to the specified torque.

I rebuilt my first 4l60e recently. When i bought the 98 chevy blazer 4x4 the third and 4th were already shot. I got it together with new torque converter. Seems ok but when im just cruising in 3rd, the rpms will fluctuate about 1000rpm back and forth like the converter is going in and out of lockup. Where should my attention be to fix it. I know the guy at brooksville transmission and have an appointment for them to look at it but would like to be able to solve it myself. The kit i bought came with a different spring that i used that was supposed to eliminate pwm problems versus reaming it.

I needed to see the check balls process 😬

Thanks David for your videos I have a question I know from your videos that you like to install pinless sonnax accumulator pistons but in other 4l60e videos that you have you installed the pin accumulator pistons Any reason why don’t you go with the pinless accumulator pistons? Thanks again for your videos Learning a lot from them Bless

The Plot THiCKENS

Great videos! I've been researching on how to rebuild the 4L60E for a few months. I've only done manuals in the past T5s, Getrags, and New Ventures. I know you've said to ask questions in the past and if it still applies, I have one. Input drum reinforcement can be accomplished with Sonnax 77733-51KA and 77733-52K(if can find), I know I know call Alan, LOL; can I still use the Transgo 7-CS kit? And yes it has steel pistons.

Thanks for the video, in the process of rebuilding my transmission and seen this was very useful, i have a couple of questions, if ur able to awnser and give me some input, 1st, check balls and locations. I seem to have 8, but u mentioned 1 for the case, 2nd how can i i tell exactly what trans I have, im going of ur comments external and internal gear switch.. its supposed to be a 4l70 but I'm thinking it's been replaced with something diffrent.

Nice

Do you put the holes in the epc plate filter screen thing like the tg sk kit says to then use the spacer thing?

great video: thanks for that. I have a 96 Fleetwood. Had the transmission replaced at 72K miles, now at 111K miles I lost 2nd gear. Removed the valve body and found the 1-2 valve stuck not moving. Removed the valve and found nothing wrong. Placed it back in and still would not move so decided to purchase a rebuild unit from Amazon. Got the new unit in and checked it out and found that the first 2 valves moves freely. I can push them in and they return no problem, The other two do not move at all. Is this normal or is this unit defective as well? thank you in advanced for your help.

Hi there thanks for taking the time to make such a great video, I am doing a transgo 2 and was going to use sonax pinless accumulators would you suggest 1-2 and 3-4 install springs first then piston upside down? I would appreciate your advice. Thanks 🙏

question plz.. chrysler A500 trans.. some people call them 42re some 42 rh... what is the correct designation for these transmission?

I am rebuilding my own 4L60E (after a notorious vendor from FL really botched my "Stage II build".) Between yours and so many other helpful sellers I dug deeper into the valvebody than anything else. What are your thoughts on plugging the PWM circuit (blocking the valve/motion) operation wise? Also, looking into the tools for something like the AFL valve kit in this video, I am finding it hard to justify the cost of $300-500 for the reamer kit (many options) for the average DIY guy... would you be opposed to sprucing up a Valve Body sent to you?

Got an issue where getting to highway speeds and at 55 mph when tcc is commanded, instead of rpm's dropping.. it jumps back up a couple hundred rpm's like it drops to third or something. Currently I have it turned off so the trans has all forward and reverse gears, just no OD. Someone mentioned a fluid cross flow/leak preventing OD.. other than corvette servo and sonnax 77998-03K kit, it's a stock 4l60e. Drives fine, just no OD. 2004 LM7 with the 4l60e that came with the motor running Holley Terminator Xmax swapped into a 80 series land cruiser. Thanks.

I’m in the process of rebuilding my 4l65 an was wondering do you have a parts list of what you used in this video? I would like to used the trans go hd2 and sonnax but not sure what sonnax pieces I need

Is there a website you can go too to get the tool kit you used? I am watching your videos religiously as a reference source while I am building my 4l60e for my 06 yukonxl 4x4

31:25 You laid the gasket right on top of your metal shaving and put it on the transmission. Not good man..but still like the video.

What would a transmission with all these aftermarket upgrades cost off the shelf?

Central valve bodies makes a slight oversize afl valve that doesn’t need reamed. I had bought the valve figuring it needed addressed then vacuum checked. My original valve checked at 21”, the new valve checked at 22”. I have to team my 4-3 sequence valve bore, only getting 14” on my outer lands. Not happy about buying these reamers or the fixture. They’re proud of them.

Which way do you remove roll pins and which way do you insert them?

Some days your hair, ...🤣 all directions- 4l60e so easy even a orangutan can take you to school...just kidding you, loved the video buddy 💪👍

Why the hole for the 2-3 shift valve?

Bro cheap beer and cockroaches...lmao
