I taught myself how to rebuild a 4L60e in my 96 Tahoe 12 years ago. RU-vid was the main reason. I watched every video on here. I bought 3 books and read them front to back. At the end, I learn to just rebuild the unit back the way it came from GM. The transmission worked on the first try. I did have have a front seal leak. I later found out it came from not lining the pump up right. I also had a 2-3 shift flair. That was because the parts guy sold me a 4 cylinder spacer plate. After drilling out the 3rd gear supply hole. The slip was gone.
Youre like my old pops Richard. When you get good at something it gives you a jolt of energy to wrestle it and get it done. Came off the farm in Olton Texas and did water law for the farmers out here. Over 60 years a lawyer!
Always know it's going to be a good show when Richard gets past the pump and the transmission is making tinkling noises like a broken christmas ornament in a box...
Thank you all again for another great video. Always a pleasure to watch. Glad your shoulder is doing well and you've gotten your strength back. Be well.
Glad your back- I want to thank you for your knowledge you are sharing with us- you help me tackle my 4L80e in my 1992 Chevy truck-something I would never tackled with out your video’s-thanks again
This guy knows his stuff ask me how I know he helped me out when I was having trouble with my transmission and no one else had any clue what was wrong with it.
Just to watch one video here CAN CHANGE MY DAY ... Always Positive and Always Technical and Always Humble and Down to Earth, talking NORMAL just as if (YOU) and Richard at the bench.!!! Thanks for ALL the great videos over the years.. What is Never / NOT On This Site ......UNLIKE Some people with good skills make up for lack of experience Drinking Monster and talk like a chainsaw and exaggerate every meaningless point ..
I really really enjoy your videos an I want to thank you personally. Not a lot of your videos have comments. I watched every video on the 4l60e for my 95 Buick roadmaster wagon. 95 is a one year set up! I’m a mechanic not a tranny guy! I machined my own compresses for the spring packs. Your a master of your craft an you also helped me with a power glide I did. Thank you 🙏
I live near LEE MASSACHUSETTS where ONYX PAPER IS LOCATED, ONYX PAPER makes the clutch paper material that is used in the application of automatic transmission clutch plates. The paper is also used in many clutch assembly that require clutch type operations
I really enjoy your videos, very informative , even for this old guy, on the down hill slide to 70 and still like working on my own gear boxes, differentials and engines. Keep up the good work you guys and good luck.
I had a ‘91 gmc sierra. It had the 4L60. And after that tranny went, the very first one i came across was the right one. Guess i got lucky there. From what you’re saying, there wasn’t all that many around.
every time I watch one of your video's I'm amazed at how much you know about that transmission and just wanted to know how you keep it all straight, so you don't mix it up with another transmission.
So glad to see you back to doing transmissions and other things! Last I seen you and Trent had a falling out and you just had surgery! Glad to see you back in the habbit!
Hi Richard & Teresa I was following yall on yalls old videos I have been looking for yall. I have a 09 GMC Sierra I was wanting the transmission rebuild by yall it lost reverse thank yall for the videos
perfect timing on the video just had the rear planet on my 4l60 go boom. Interested in the part number for the pressure switch! Thanks for a great video
I’m glad I found your new site. I’d like to find out what you did to a 727 transmission and put a 48RE front drum in it. I would like to know how you did that. Great videos. I’ve never seen anyone knock a transmission apart so fast and be as knowledgeable as you are! I hope you read comments and will reach out to me about the drum swap. Thank you either way because you have opened my eyes about automatic transmissions. As a toolmaker for over 50 years, you make great sense!! God bless you and Theresa!
To most people a car is a thing that takes you places you put gas in and the magic little gremlins turn gas in to forward motion. I have a guy at work who has bricked two brand new engines since I have known him. He drives a car till it seizes and gets a new one. Never changes the oil.
If Richard & Teresa were my parents, I would have gone into the family business and not gone into nursing. I'm retired, so it's too late to go back now.
I enjoyed the video guys, u were speaking of cores,in my home town has a junk yard and I see a lot of transmission in it last time I was in there.. I know them well... just saying..
I've rebuilt everything on a car except an automatic transmission. Installing a B&M shift kit is as far as I've trusted myself with those. I envy people like Richard who can go through any automatic transmission without hesitation. Subscribed!
Boy that looks like the 4l60e I pulled out of my 2005 Trailblazer. I pulled the pan and saw pieces of the rear planetary and instantly bought another core.
Richard, could u show us from start to finish takng it apart, showing us what's wrong, cleaning it explain what you see&needs replaced, putting it all back together, installation? I knw its alot but you can have othr members of your team do it too. Thnks again for your knwldge
I bought a 91 c1500 chev 350 engine for $500 a long time ago and it had this same transmission. No third or 4th gear. I remember being so proud after downloading the ASTG rebuild manual, cleaning everything up and rebuilding that puppy and having it work. still have the truck today. love all the tips and tricks from Richard's videos. his videos are a blessing to all of us. I am going to put a power switch in line to control my lockup, it likes to shift lockup at 35 at light throttle and its annoying sometimes. not sure what else to do or modify to fix that? anyone have input? cheers!
I never thought about it but the way it's spinning like he said it throws all the oil off of it if there isn't a constant supply and makes it go dry instantly.
I really appreciate you Richard, and I live in Huntersville NC, just outside Charlotte, and I am looking for a dependable transmission for my Buick 455 engine, and I would like to have an overdrive transmission for it, but I just don't know who i can trust to buy a dependable performance transmission, because the engine will be around 450 horsepower if everything goes right, and wanted to see if you could recommend someone in my area that is dependable and I can trust to know what they are doing like you do? I used to overhaul Transmissions in the late 70s and early 80s, but it has been so long that I don't trust my memory to building a performance tranny, and even though I used to modify turbo 400's and they were bullet proof for the times, but I am looking for a 200 overdrive, as long as i can get the TV cable and bracket for it to operate properly, or a 4L80E that has a stand alone computer controller and a BOP case for it to work with my engine. Can you recommend someone out here, or could you build one for me at a reasonable price that you could ship to me??
Hey yall is precision transmissions open for business? Google says yall are temporarily closed. I just found the new RU-vid channel. Been watching old precision transmissions videos on the other channel. Hoping for some new content so I'm glad I found this channel!! I'm glad to see you all are doing well!
