How to Remove a Transmission from a Camaro or Firebird! (4L60e 98-02 F-Body) 

I'm so glad we could help! It's always better to do your own work.

Thank you!!

Thanks!

Nice! Hopefully our video can help

Howd it go

If you have a lift and the motor is out you could have the trans out in 10-30 mins I bet.

The angle might be deceiving, I believe the jack was just resting on the subframe. Just for added safety. You have to lower the tail side to get to the top bolts from under the car. You do have to disconnect the transmission cooler lines.

9th hole I believe is a dowl, helps get the trans lined up to be bolted in

They are really tough to reach. I would recommend getting a floor jack under the transmission and unbolting the crossmember. Once unbolted, slowly lower the transmission. This should give you more room to reach the lines

One other solution is to replace the stock trans line with a AN fitting, these can be found on summit racing, amazon, etc. This allows you to use braided steel or twist-tite rubber line to a trans cooler. Our solution ended up being routing the lines to the stock location on the radiator, then past the radiator to an auxiliary trans cooler, then back to the trans.

I got everything off I’m just having trouble getting that bell housing bolt in the corner of the driver side what size is that bolt

@@MrNecraigen when you did this where did you put the rear jack stands?

Is the converter unbolted?

@@JuryRigGarage yes..I asked he don't know what's up. I guess I should've took it to a professional.

These F bodies leak like a sieve. At the time the engine, transmission and rear diff were leaking

You're welcome, glad we could help

I need help with mine also...I don't have 4tf worth of extensions

Still holding strong!

4l60e

@@dnegel9546 thanks man! Much appreciated. Another question. What kind of transmission does a Cadillac 1984 Biarritz El dorado have?

They were a real pain to remove. You need to remove the clips first and then pull the lines out. Ours were stuck so ended up cutting them and replacing with -8 AN lines

I believe it was $1800 no core charge and no warranty, they have other options though.

@@JuryRigGarage Im probably gonna go that route ive heard alot of good thing about them

@@martinez1701a or just get a 4l80

@@mikeverything4098 That comment was made over a year ago since then Ive learned how to build the 4l60e and do it better (in my humble opinion) I pulled my built one repaired it and thought to myself hmm I can do it better. Have one I fully built from a core I got for $60 it should hold about 500hp, the 4l60e I repaired is still holding up but ill still pull it and build it for my 95 yukon 4X4

@@martinez1701a can you rebuild mine

It should bolt up, as far as computer changes you'd need I'm not sure

Removing the trans took about a day. Now that we've done it and have the experience I think it would only take a couple hours.

Jury Rig Garage I removed mine in about 4hrs. Thanks for the helpful video

What we showed is the rear main seal, it can be accessed once the transmission is removed. The front seal would require you to remove the balancer pulley. It's a seal around the crank area. You could do this with the engine in though, no need to pull the motor.

The V6's should have come with a 4L60E

It took us a Saturday to get it out

@@JuryRigGarage thanks

Actually the majority of the cars in our group are RWD haha

@@JuryRigGarage as it should be. As the head of BMW once said. FWD is the work of the Devil! 😈😹

Your not wrong.
