I've freshened up a few of your c4's and they always looked perfect inside, man. I've bought a few parts off ya in the past and the quality is second to none. Keep kickin' ass, Jay.
No I didn’t turn it off I watched the whole video Good job Jay Amazing the things that can go wrong That bent input shaft is a head scratcher Matt Bourgeois
Thank you Sir. I am overwhelmed with all the parts it takes to make an automatic transmission work so I just had mine to the shop c6 with your transbrake valve body . Get to try it next week pretty excited thank you.
Jay. You helped me 8ish years ago rebuild my c6. 3 calls and a valve body later it’s been great. Trucks shifts great to this day pulling trailers every time it’s used. Thanks again for the help.
Brilliant vid Jay . So true . Love hearing your words , all so true.... So many people think it is so easy , but in reality, many have no idea what is involved in successfully building a transmission, some near 50 years old now. I have just this week worked on two transmissions that guys have built themselves . Yes they did work but both had a number of "assembly mistakes". Have set up right now :) Built my first C4 around 1986, worked so well. Done hundreds since :) and C6 , FMX , T400 , T350 PG BTR etc And watched right to the end :)
I got a laugh out of using the dishwasher for cleaning transmission parts. Way back when, my brothers & father managed to accidentally spill some used motor oil into one of my mother's flower beds. She was not happy with that. ;)
Getting to the root cause of transmission failure is the whole ball game. Some problems with modern automatics are very difficult to get to the bottom of like cross leaks, updated parts, cases not flat, pump halves not flat, spool valve bores worn out etc.
Hi Jay. I removed my truck engine and I know there is transmission fluid leaking from inside the transmission (C6) as it forms a puddle in front of the torque converter on the inside of the housing. I did let the transmission lower slowly and hang by itself without supporting it for a period of time, so maybe that caused some damage- or maybe not. My question is if I can remove the pump to replace its internal components without damaging/dislodging anything even though the transmission is still in the vehicle? Maybe also important to note is that the puddle seemed to form when the torque converter was attached no matter the position of the transmission (that is, even after iterations of raising and lowering it using a floor jack) but I took the torque converter out and it has since stopped, even though the transmission has been through the same range of motion. Also, the truck (which I bought recently) seems to have an overfilled transmission (the fluid level is way beyond the crosshatching present- we're talking 5 inches when cold) so maybe that could explain this?

It can be done but when it's horizontal you have to worry about a washer or bearing falling out of place. I'd say try it and don't torque the pump bolts until you make sure the input shaft still turns to make sure you don't crush a bearing or washer that may have fallen out of place.
