I know this an older video but just wanted to say thank you for taking the time to make this. Makes me more confident in my ability to do this at home.
4years old and this helped me swap my transmission after it burned up 3-4 clutch packs! The locater/dowel pins on the bellhousing were rusted and had swelled up which held the transmission on. I ended up taking a long 2x4 and leveraging the differential mounts off the hanging cradle mount bolt and basically “rowing the boat” with the board until it finally popped out. Also my brake lines were very hard to reinstall. The hard line threads were messed up. They are m10x1.0. I took a thread file and filed the threads clean. Install was very easy after that. Also cleaned up locator/dowel pins and put aluminum anti-seize on them. I also had to remove my Borla exhaust with the mufflers. It was a fairly simple task with this video. Couldn’t have done it without it!
I honestly don't know how you don't have more views and positive comments. I'm guessing people are scared on watching a so long video, not realizing the detail you guys provided. This should save me $2700. Now I just have to spend $800 for torque converter and reinstall. Thanks again guys.
A lot of people won't even look it up, they'll just take the car to their local mechanic and pay a couple thousand dollars and have them fix it. This video is more for the do-it-yourself kind of guy. Thanks for watching!
Just put a window in the side of my freshly built 4l60 that i paid thousands to have built and installed. Going to order a built trans from rpm to match the rpm rear diff i already have and do it myself. Confident i can do it as well or better than the original shop did especially after watching this. Just getting under the car and looking, this job seemed very intimidating. Thanks for the great info 👍
and yes, the oem exhaust is bolted to the mid pipes right whre all the welds are. comes right off. Thanks for this real time procedure. Very nice instructions, guys. are you guys Corvette techs in your day jobs? Very professional steps.
Sub’d. pulling the torque tube on my C6 Z06 this weekend with my friends. This helps us a great deal. Especially the parking brake and brake line info. Thank you!
Great Video, Once the cradle is down an out, is the torque tube bell housing the only thing supporting the Transmission and diff until you drop it down with the jack??
Yeah, and you're not suppose to lower it down too much till you get the transmission detached from the torque-tube. If you lower it too much you can break the intake-manifold on the engine cause it pulls it back too much.
@@1018Video I know this is a year old, but I'm taking a shot in the dark. If you had easy access to the front (and didn't want to leave the whole car on 4 stands) would it have been easier to just unbolt the tube at the front and drop the whole thing? It seemed like undoing the torque converter through the access panel would be a hassle? I need to change an AT on one of these and, at least on paper, it seems easier to change the converter, AT, etc. on the ground not under the car. Or are there other troubles I'm missing? Also, absolutely great video. Thanks guys.
You guys did a great job ...I have a c5 Corvette I just fix my engine and my transmission dont work like I turn on the car put in drive does not move i put in scanner it don't read the transmission reads everything else i need help and on this
Yooo quick question so my car broke c6 as well it doesn’t make any weird noises I put it on 1st nothing 2 3 4 and reverse are all gone what could it possibly be what should I check for it leaked all transmission fluid while racing lol
The only thing that would’ve made this video more informative would be to tell us the bolt sizes I’m in the middle of taking mine out of an 05 and I don’t know the brake lines size
