Common Problems With the 4L60E and 4L65E 

EVERY transmission should have a drain plug in the pan.

This man knows transmissions,he took it apart standing behind it not even looking inside lmao

Finally a straight to the point explanation. I’ve seen so many videos of this 4l60e it hurts. Well done sir

This guy makes it look like he can rebuild my dropped off transmission in 45 min to an hour.

Outstanding video! Well paced, clear, nicely edited and highly informative. Thank you so much for doing this.

Informative, concise and no nonsense. The perfect RU-vid video! 👍

Studying this video saved me about 900 dollars. THANK YOU

Thanks for this video, guys. Got an '01 Chevy Suburban 1500 5.3L that lost reverse and shifts hard from 2-3 and 3-4. Will definitely check these things out to see what we can do here in Virginia. Have a great day.

No matter how many of these trans videos i watch, I'm still amazed at how many parts an Auto trans has in it! my 4L60e is in need of a rebuilt now (no 3/4), cooling line blew though.

I don't have transmission, but I watched this video with awe and read every comment and reply. Now I will have to get up early tomorrow to make up the time. Internet is great, but one can let it steal your productivity.👍

Man that was very important! But putting all that back together is what I would like to see!

Looks like you've done this a few times. Great video. Very informative and I learned a lot. Just bought my first truck, an '01 Sierra 1500 with the 5.3.

Damn bro. U taught me more in less than 10 min than I have ever known about rebuilding a transmission

Wow, great explanation! Love the fact that you showed us using an actual transmission

Lots of great info quickly. Excellent video !!!

👍 curt nice guy. Takes his time to answer questions. Keep up the good work mate!!! Thanks

Best 8 minutes of my day.

Well all these videos I’ve been watching are very spot on but now I’m hoping that I won’t have to go through all that with my P1810 code. I’ve dropped my pan waiting on the valve to come in. All the seals were broken and three of the five pressure plates don’t click. The name of the part is probably wrong so I mentioned the code. I have purchased a transfer case from Monster and it’s going great. The motor is a 5.3 in this 2003 Silverado

thank you for making this great video. now i know exactly the problem and fix for my 93 silverado 2500 that whips my head back every time it shifts into 2nd gear.

This video motivates me to take it easy on my 4l65e in my awd denali.

Super video !! Very descriptive, from beginning to end

Awesome Vid... I was watching on my lunch break and I'm hooked! I wanna see more

Damn, this guy has fixed a few transmissions... great info! Would be nice to have a how-to rebuild video. Slower showing more details on techniques used for snap rings etc. Thanks!

Very well done. Nice to see a true expert in their field. Thank you.

Wow! Outstanding and now I know I won't be doing anything that involved. lol you guys are amazing.

Best class I've had in a while ,super video.

Wow. Thanks for making such an AWSOME video. I just today took my 92 Chevy Silverado in for the transmission to be rebuilt. I now have some more questions for them.

Thank u sincerely ,my s10 is 1870 w/ o 3+4th i think you just gave me the confidence to fix the p.o.s.thanks brother

Wow!! this video was very educational and entertaining to see the inner workings of these common transmission. well done sir..

Thank you. Good video. Mine was the sun shell that broke off

Some transmission shops doesn’t even want to rebuild your transmission and if the do they over charge you for it. Thanks for schooling us on doing our on work

I know this is edited but dame he's fast.

This guy is ripping through this transmission and explaining everything like it's a walk in the park!

Thank you. Replaced and modified the valve body. Great vidoe. 🎉

Thanks very informative. Been looking for this type of info for days. Would rather do work myself than take it to a shop. Transmissions aren't as scary as they look

Straight up expert. thanks for the knowledge!

330k on mine...change fluid every year and keep Lucas no slip. Hot rod kids burn them out. Drive easy they last. Simple.

Thank you for this clear explanation!

I want you to rebuild my 4L60E! Your a badass! Started slipping 3rd & 4th

Thx for this great video.

Wow I love it when people know their stuff.

monster good job love all your videos learn a lot and fast you all get to the point fast thanks

I've watched a few of these vids from Monster Transmission and I really like the no frills, get the info out format. Have a feeling I may be calling them soon, as my '02 Blazer is experiencing some transmission issues. Ah, the life of a car owner.

just tank you for this video these help me too much

Good video, lots to learn!!

you're the man Curt !

Thanks broski, finally someone explained the fix using the English language. Now I got the guts to work on it.

Almost 350,000 miles on the original 4L60E transmission in my 96 Caprice. Been using Dexron VI for years and I change my fluid and filter regularly.

Excellent video!

Excellent Video!

Very good video and well spoken. Are the new front shell and piston stronger than the old oem?

Great video!! Have had many high mileage 4l60s. I have never experienced those problems, but I have maintained them. I have heard of this before tho.

Great info!!!!! Def knows his stuff!!!

Good stuff. I’m about to rebuild a 4L60 for my C5 Corvette and need to beef it up to handle a nitrous hit. Just added a few new parts to the list thanks to this video. 👍🏻

I bought the SS kit for the 4L60E kit. Its good for 650 hp and 600Ft/lbs of torque. 427 SBC in front of it in a S10!

Great Video, wish I could fix mine

THANKS FOR THE VIDEO

WHAT AWESOME BENCH CART IS THAT??!!

348k on my 93 4L60e and still going strong. I run Chevron dexron 3 and change it once a year. Shift into drive when towing.

Thank you for info

I just had to replace mine with a new one. Next time I’ll buy one from here because I’m actually really hard on transmissions.

That HITACHI impact is awesome.

I'm glad there was no quiz after the vid. He made it look like you could do it in your driveway at lunch hour and be back at work by 1pm. LOL

Great video thank you for your help and God bless you!!

Hell ya thanks. !!! Lots of info. With your help I think I can rebuild mine. Put a few more tutorials. In

Mine blew other night. Havnt lift the truck yet to inspect it. Hoping it’s just my rear differential, but could be wrong. If it’s the whole trans ima need that sunshell in replacement. Good info

This video is awesome!

This guy could put an airplane together in 2 hours lol

Good info 👍 Thank you

Awesome video thanks step by step

Great video. Need to do every transmission for every make and model to date. Keep up the good work. Enjoyed video

My brother bought his '95 K1500 in '03. We bought it from him for my son last year. He had never changed the fluid. Of course, shortly after I change all the fluids, I lose 3 - 4, go figure. Plan in doing a full heavy duty rebuild on it soon.

Awesome video. Thank yo.

Love those vids, this one is used in Hummer H3

Very good. Spoiler alert. So, the sun shell is upgradeable to a stronger design and the pressure spring and ball leaks need to be solved to prevent lack of pump pressure.

Great video

Very informative video! But before I put money back in a 4 l 60 e... I would just get a 4 l 80 and be done with it... or even simpler a th400

Good video and good info. I have a 1994 Chevy Caprice 9C1. Have problems with the transmission shifting from 3rd gear to overdrive on the highway. This happens all the time. A lot of times I feather the pedal to keep her in 3rd gear at 45mph to 60mph.

Awesome video!!

Very informative vid

Very informative..thanks

hello,thank you so much for the information.

Thank you for the info

Awesome video

Great video. My only complaint is that you don't have a shop in San Diego!

If you look at that input drum that holds all the clutch packs. The input drum has the long input shaft coming out of the front of it. This input shaft is pressed Into that drum. However: where it is pressed in, can leak and cause a loss of pressure to the 3-4 clutch pack. Sonnax sells a kit to reinforce the drum and input shaft to hold it in there better. The part of the sonnax kit that makes it not leak is the fact that green loctite is used when the input shaft is pressed Into the drum. The green loctite is what seals it back up and many of these leak. Yours is probably leaking....there is more info on this so look it up. Bottom line. If you are rebuilding this or fixing your 3-4 clutch pack problem. Take the input shaft out of the 3-4 drum and loctite it back in there. Should take care of that problem. Changing the trans fluid every 60k will help increase the life of the transmission. Get a updated pan for cheap with a Drain plug to help with this. Makes life easier. Next.......for $20 you can add so much life to this trans. He talked about the 3-4 apply seal hardening. This is caused by heat. Your trans run through the factory trans cooler at the radiator and sometimes has a factory external trans cooler in the heavier trucks, but it usually does not have an Xtra trans cooler. You want an aftermarket trans cooler in there........AFTER the radiator trans cooler. Why after? Because the transmission will be at whatever the thermostat is on the radiator. If you’re engine thermostat is 190° or higher. Your trans will be 190° or higher. We don’t want that. We want 170° So.....you still keep your original trans cooler at the radiator. You keep that and run both the original and the aftermarket after it This will make the trans run cooler and cool it back down to below what the engine thermostat is. It’s needs to be run after the radiator cooler on the fluid return back to the transmission. Any cooler will help. Sonnax makes the best sun shell replacement and has a long list of other parts to keep this transmission alive. If you have a 700r4 or a 4l60e or any other transmission for that matter. Sonnax usually has upgrade parts to make it last longer. With the 4l60e.......sonnax has ......a lot of upgrade parts. By the time your done. 1/4 of the parts would be sonnax parts. Either way.......run a better cooler

Best video I ever seen

Sir Thank you for the video....

Great video! Ok so my wife shell is broken on her truck. I'm going to have them put the Beast Shell in like I have in my Sierra. The regular sun shell.is trash. I had 2 break on previous rebuilds.

Great morn when u wake up and have no reverse in the truck it's always something

sweet video !!

Dizamm, he is a boss, because I look at this with a whole lot of hell nah...

Thanks good info

Unbelievable superb presentation this video should be mandatory in schools for this field of profession.👍🏻 Greetings from CommieFornia aka California U.S.A. TBD3.0 (Toothless Bull Dog 3.0)

I’m glad he took that apart and not me.

Could you do a video on acceptable transmission temp ranges and when a cooler my be needed?

awesome video

Sweet thanks

Thank you. From :Poppys's Transmissions
