4L60E REBUILD 

Here is one of our newer videos! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eT_slcxBV1Q.html

This video gave me the confidence to take my transmission to someone to rebuild it.

This video series walked my son and I through our first 4L60E rebuild. Excellent step by step, our thanks!

Hands down one of the greatest videos on the YT. I have watched it probably 25 times and built 2 transmissions along with it. I can’t thank you nearly enough for doing these vids. A real game changer that really saved my bacon in remote Alaska. The current tranny is my daily driver I’m about to put the pump bolts in, and the first one was my project truck I’ll be covering on another channel I’m starting out of inspiration from you and others covering my truck projects from engine builds to body fab. Kudos and thanks again!

I’m just over 3k miles since my rebuild and all seems good! Thanks again for the great video series. One thing I learned was I didn’t save myself anything by going with a cheaper rebuild kit. I ended up needing to order a lot of one off items and probably spent more than if I just bought the rebuild kit you suggested…and I spent more time waiting for every shipment. Thanks again!👍

I just want to say thank you for your 4l60e series of videos, they saved me a ton of money and frustration when I needed to rebuild mine after the forward sprag went out. Keep being awesome guys!

I loved watching this video. You did a wonderful job of describing everything to look for during assembly. Thank you so much for making this video.

Great, the best I’ve seen so far, took their time where you didn’t have to go back and forth which I liked. Thank you guys, never would have made it without your video!

I had no idea what I was doing! I watched your videos and got a rebuild manual. I built my first one and it has been shifting/working really well. Learned alo I have since built 4 other 4l60e transmissions for a few of my family members!

This video gave me the confidence to take my transmission apart and rebuild it myself. Thanks alot guys🙌👏💯💪💯💯👏👏🙌🙏

Fantastic video. It was a huge help getting my transmission rebuilt for my 98 Corvette. Excellent work, gents!

Awesome video! Excellent step-by-step process and tips, tricks and things to look out and watch out for!

the best rebuild ...... everything in the kit were been used and cleaned. no shortcuts.... awesome!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome video, a clear step by step approach to rebuilding your trans vs some other videos out there which seem more like a refresher course for some guys

I just wanna say, thank yall so much for this video series! I know its been 3 years+ since yall posted, but my 2004 GMC Envoy XUV lost its 3-4 clutch pack at 152k miles in August. I just spent the last week and a half rebuilding the transmission myself following your series and even upgraded it quite a bit! Threw a 4L65e upgrade kit in it, new Sonnax SmartTech Input Drum, hardened 300mm input shaft, and new stator in all in about 8 working days! And it works now thanks to this video and following it damn near religiously! So, I have the equivalent of atleast 800 ft-lbs of capacity in this thing now with the upgraded 9 frictions and steels for the 3-4, all kolene steels/high frictions, and 5 pinion planetaries, oh yeah and the super servo/corvette servo. Its been a ride! And it shifts like butter now!

Totally Amazing, Patience (that I need before I reconnect just the exterior wiring ) and Step-By Step!!! WOW!!! I have more YT videos than I can shake a stick at and they are all helping a former Computer Programmer enjoy getting an S10 fixed and running. HUGE THANKS to all of you!!!

Your attitude is very welcome and appreciated. Other youtuvers are more into preaching rather than showing.

Awesome video the best and most detailed video iv have seen on this trans.. thank you for taking time to share!!

This video is absolutely priceless! Thank you guys for this education man seriously!!

because of this awesome video i rebuilt my o6 chevy pu trans and it works perfectly. put a lot of upgrades in it to shift better and hold pressure while towing. worked the first time. thank you so much. saved me about 3500. at a shop. Watching again today because i did another just the pump and missed two little things. will try again . Awesome and thank you so much/.

I've been looking for this exact video for a while.. most guys go too quick or they get off in the weeds about mods and different kit options with every single part they install. I just needed a bone stock rebuild video and this is perfect. I appreciate you guys posting this because I'm about to build 3 of these and make some $$$! Thanks again!

Thank you so much for making this and the quality you did it in. I have been wanting to build my 4l60e and was scared. I used your video and just finished it about 2 hours ago and shifts like butter. Thanks for helping me with my confidence and by watching your video I was able to do a good job. You guys are awesome!

Dude... you should have been a brain surgeon or a heart surgeon. I know the type personally. Super thorough insures no mistakes. Awesome job. Convinced me to rebuild my own 4l60e. I worry about every single little thing and your video left nothing to worry about. Thanks for this super great video.

Hey thanks again. I just finished taking mine out for a test ride. Ran and shifted great!

Last time I rebuilt a transmission was 25 years ago in school. Just finished my Tahoe’s 4L60E rebuild using this video as a guide. Thank you

Fantastic video guys! I think I’m gonna give it a try

What a great video, thank you. Keep up the good work.

This was very useful, you guys helped me build 2 4l60e transmission's.. keep up with the word out there. You're doing a lot for people. Keep it going!!!

Absolutely the most through and educational video I have ever watched! Excellent delivery and visual process start to finish. Thank you for sharing .

Amazing video!

Probably one of the most informative videos I've watched. Make sure to fill the torque converter before installing it.

Thank you for your awesome step by step assembly and wear check instructions. Make it look so easy. Right tools are a must. This video was a life saver. Took me 20 minutes to find a clip ring plier that would pull output shaft ring. my case was worn so couldnt get oneway/silencer out easily.Took hour to find tools to twist oneway around against silencer enough to pull oneway out. So nice to pop oneway back in the case despite the silencer. Case is worn a bit but its not going to be a drag machine or wall climber truck.

I like the fact that you are using a clean surface during assembly. Also, thanks for the clear narrative without hoped intonation or vendor badgering.

My grandfather was chief engineer of GM's hydra-matics division and he and his team designed the 4l60,. He would have loved how well this video was made. I did as I am currently rebuilding one. Thank you for the best 4l60 video series out there! Grandpa would have really liked you guys.

I just built my 4l60e with some upgrades using this video. Thank you!

Fantastic video, very thorough!

This is the best guys rebuilding transmission very detailed. Thanks for sharing

Dat Shirt Raw 💯

I followed all the steps and everything was great but I had no reverse when I put it back. I had to pull the trans again and redo the pump stator rings, this is where the reverse magic happens apparently, I replaced the old rings and didn't have the proper tool to resize them once I got them on and tried to do it makeshift with hose clamps and a plastic sleeve wrapped around them to go in between, I compressed them too much and they were not making a good enough seal on the shaft. I pulled the pump and used the $40 Ring Buddy tool to resize them properly. I learned that if the pump goes in too easy on reassembly, something is wrong, if it goes in too hard, something is wrong and you will tear or nick the seal if you force it. Pay attention on this part guys. Also the input drum seals were the hardest part of the job really, a PITA to get that piston back in with both seals intact. I used some cable ties to shrink down the seal on the outside one then put it in the freezer for 20 minutes so it would hold that shape until it warmed up. I used a water bottle top cut down to size to put over the middle shaft for the inside one. The piston slipped right in. I tore a seal on the first attempt using the feeler gauge method so be careful either way. Overall great video.

Just wanted to say a big thank you on these videos. After watching them many times I have rebuilt mine. I am at a stand still waiting on a 1-2 accumulator spring. It’s been fun with a slight headache lol. Thanks again

The most thorough video I have ever seen. They really went into detail with every step.

DO NOT drive the pump bushing out from the INSIDE! There's a lip in the pump! You must drive the bushing from the outside towards the inside to remove it and install the new one from the inside until it reaches the lip.

Just wont to say u did a great job on the step by step description on everything it helped me out drastically ....... thanks

this video was a godsend. thank you so much just finished my 4l60 and about to put it in. yall are awesome

I used a large Crescent on the input drum around the shaft then 2 large clamps to compress input drum cage so feet of clamps on Crescent then the threaded part on the cage 👍

What kit was used?

Outstanding step by step video. Thanks for a great job of making it!

One of the best videos to follow along with! You're awesome dude!

damn too much work but hey ya did good

Thanks for great rebuild video. I'll be rebuilding my 4l60e soon.

Awesome just did the whole video on my 2009 Silverado trani hopefully I did followed it step by step and it works perfectly haha thanks for the videos!!!

This guy is excellent. Does a great job at explaining step by step details.

Got 300 miles on my rebuild, so far so good. Thanks for the help, great resource.

BEST REBUILD VIDEO I'VE SEEN, THANKS!!!

Thanks for the very detailed and informative video. Im highly confident in rebuilding my 60e for my 99 Camaro Z28. I was always hesitant up until now I really appreciate you guys!!

I think this is well a explained tutorial. If you have the slightest bit of mechanical knowledge I believe this video is a huge help. Especially for the guys that don't have PROPER TOOLS. YOU KNOW THE TYPE..THE ONES LIKE YOU. THE ONES THAT DONT WANT TO GO SPEND HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS ON SPECIALTY TOOLS ONLY TO NEVER USE THEM AGAIN. THANKS FOR THE VIDEO. Im doing my transmission this weekend..fingers crossed and praying it goes well ..

You did GREAT JOB with the transmission and your video is very helpful,I’ll follow your steps to rebuild my 4L65E transmission THANK YOU

This is a wonderful video and a great service you doing for furthering our knowledge in Automotive repair , thank you for being such a class act.

Thank you. Just took for the test drive. 06 chevy half ton 4x4. First time doing it and it works great. You saved me 3700.00 wow. Yhe only thing I purchased were some small c clamps to remove the last spring pack in the tail shaft. Hope it lasts. Thanks again. Ginna do my allison now. Awesome video.

I’m 21 years old and watching this video gave me confidence to rebuild my slipping 4L60e transmission on my 03 Silverado 5.3

Loved the video, Nice job!

I hate running into those super strong snap rings in nature. So scary! Haha. Awesome video guys!

I have watched lots of videos on this. Yours is the only one that covered all my questions.

Amazing video. Thanks for helping us out.

Great Video from start to finish 👏 👌 👍 excellent instructions!

Love these videos. I'm rebuilding my transmission soon and watching hours of video before I take this on. I love a good challenge

Great video especially actually showing exactly everything that needs done

I love these transmission videos.

Man so many parts i will not dare 😂 but you guys did a amazing job thanks for the video upload

This video was perfect, thank you👌🏾

Learned a lot,you were very thorough, thanks.

Thanks for doing this guys. Much appreciated!

Thanks again for posting these videos! finsihing up today and I'm stoked to get it back in the tahoe

Thank you for posting such a great video I may not be a professional transmission builder but I found your Instructions very thorough and helpful Right down to the Anti clunk Spring

you all are the greatest! you helped me from start to finish. it took me a couple of times to get it right. but thanks to you both, I finally got it right. couldnt have done it without you. thank you so much!

This video is a godsend. You guys saved me thousands of dollars and a huge headache. Definitely subscribed and liked 🤘

I know the vid is 2 years old but I just wanna say thank you for such a good video, I was able to rebuild my 4L60 flawlessly by following your vid. Thanks again

I wish more of these big name shops who make a RU-vid living off disassembly would make a single assembly video. I hate when people gate keep info from DIY guys. We’re DIY so you’re not ganna lose our business anyways 🤣

Very helpful. Going to install my trans tonight hoping all works proper.

I have a 2000 GMC Jimmy ( 4l60e ) that lost all forward gears. I bought it as a parts truck for my Sonoma. However, now that I've just had open heart surgery and I'm recovering from a quadruple bypass I find myself bored to the point that I am seriously considering trying to do this. I've done a lot of shade tree mechanic in but I've never touched a transmission. If nothing else I figure I'll know how much harder it is to do than to watch. Great video by the way.

awesome video mate cheers for the information

Thank you so much for this video ! I just rebuilt my tranny and it works perfectly 👌 Thanks for all your hard work and patience doing this video.😊😉😁

You have done a great job doing this video!!!

You guys are amazing! Thank you, thank you, thank you

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾goooood job

This video gave me the confidence to say dude we can fix it our selves for my 4l60 rebuild

Thanks for great information video just finished 4l60e transmission from a 1997chevrolet suburban whit missing3and4 shift great now Greetings from Belgium 🇧🇪

This video is gold. Thank you. Working on my 04 4l60e. 1st and 2nd gear had a very bad hard shift. Would jerk your neck while shifting. Found a broken accumulator spring and alot of glitter

Awesome Sir thank you for sharing your vast knowledge and extra hand made tools

Great video, very detailed.

Followed the whole video and got mine done thank you

I'm 15 working on my buddies trucks for a while doing suspension and basic motor repair always been spooked by transmissions but for the price the local shops said for a rebuild I'm taking this on and it was regretted at first but this helps a lot more than a rebuild manual. I've done transfercase rebuild for this same truck and now trans a week later🤦‍♂️ 205k isn't surprising it blew. Wish me luck with this transmission 😂

EXCELLENT..!! Well presented..!!

This video is so great

Learning more here then I do in my automotive class

I have a 4l60e on my 2005 Yukon and I’m getting some drips out the yoke weep hole by the ujoint. Upon removal of the housing I noticed I didn’t have the sleeve with oring, shouldn’t it be in there since my slip yoke has that hole on it? If not, should/could I add the sleeve?

Awesome video, thanks. I ran across it while trying to find out if the internal components can be swapped from a first generation one piece case to a second generation 2 piece case. The first gen one piece case on my 97 suburban got the threads of the bottom cooling line cracked and i have a 2 piece case from a 97 Blazer to which I plan to swap the internals of my old tranny, which was working good when I broke the threads. I know the 4 bolt tail adaptor to the transfer case is different, as the second generation tail has 6 bolts. Thanks for your input.

awesome video, thanks fellas. helped alot

Watched video 3 times maybe. Tore my first trany down rebuilt it nervous as ?!&$. Cranked motor put in gear worked great. Messed up rebuilding pump 6 months later had to drop it again watched section on pump again. Rebuild running great 30,000 miles later. Thanks for your video. Only problem is now my friends know I can rebuild them. I’m bout to start rebuilding another for a friend. This will make 4. Only indented to do one. Lol

How well does flattening the separator plate work and last? I just did it to mine after watching the video and am still a bit sketched out, but don't wanna wait for 2 weeks to order a new one
