I just rebuilt my 2007 Chevrolet 4L60E following Jimmy's tutorials and it works again! Fantastic video series and presentation. Never thought I'd attempt this procedure but he made it easy as well as ordering the parts I needed. Highly recommended, thanks Jimmy!
I WANT TO THANK YOU, James Williams, FROM THE BOTTOM OF HEART I also have a small appreciation to Transmission Bench. I have rebuilt my 6th 4l60e Transmission using the exact professional tools you demonstrate and other mechanic and technical skills I've acquired over my career. For Myself, my parents 2 trucks, and 3 others I made profit from. I have now planned to continue overhauling 4l60e, 4l80e, and 6l80e as a respectable and helpful technician. Ps.- May your health and family prosper.
I do not think of myself as a professional transmission technician but a very balanced and methodical novice. You cqn bet your salt that I have and will do exceptional work. Thank you.
Hi, after following my own step by step installation and then taking it back apart and then following you step by step it doesn't seem like my output shaft is coming in the case enough to install the small lock ring and the only step that I skipped was putting the shaft in last, I put loctite on the splines when I first started like the directions said that the manufacturer does when building it. So my question is should the shaft go in far enough to where the oiling hole in the journal is running on the race on the rear of the case? Because I'm a quarter of a inch short
Not only should the drive shell be replaced, it should be upgraded with a revised, heat treated hardened drive shell that's normally used for pro series racing. They're not that expensive, upwards around $80-$100, but it's a very good investment to prevent transmission failure even after a recent rebuild.
Midnight Mechanic you wouldn't know if I can use an (new) old style sun shell with the 4 holes for a thrust washer (but not use the thrust washer) and keep just the thrust bearing?
@@douglasgerrard5094 I think he is using those tools to show you need no special tools.He used a board as a hitting device.He also used the shaft to smack with.
Did you put the stock ( failure prone) sunshell back in? Why not run the better, stronger aftermarket sunshell? Then you won't have to do this again next week!!!!!!! Great video!
I would guess this to just show exact stock rebuild. He never much talks about upgrades in these videos. He could have also put a wider sun gear bushing in there or double up on the smaller ones.
I have a 99 s10 2.2 auto. It had p1870 code. But all gears would still work. Just long drives after stopping and down shifting to 1st it wouldn't want to pull .. could filter and solenoids fix it possibly?
I got a 2001 GMC Sierra V8 I'm doing a rebuilt and I have a 04 using as part can I put that dry shell on the old one with the roller bearing thrust because the old one has a thrust bearing that looks like brass would it make any different or work the same
Can you use a pre 2001 sunshell in a 2004 transmission? I bought a new sunshell and they sent me one with the slots for the thrust washer not the bearing.
