Solving GM/Chevy Transmission Issues: 4T65E transmission rebuild 

If I did not know any better, I'd swear they must have reverse engineered some alien space craft to develop transmissions. Had no idea of their complexity. Mind boggling!

God bless you Eddie! All of those parts, not counting the trans removal WOW! It must feel good knowing that you know what you are doing! Kudos to you. A real pleasure to watch you work on this trans.

I definitely recommend a Trucool 40k Transmission Cooler as well, some might say its unnecessary but I have one and I love it, tbf I have an LS4 car but still the 4T65E gets hot in almost all of its applications and the cooler helps tremendously

Great video! My 19-year-old son's transmission just crapped out in his 2011 Impala, while upstate NY, visiting family. Had it towed to a shop on the 4th, 10 miles, for $417. depending on what they say, it might be getting junked up there. I refuse to cross 3K in a car maybe worth 3,500.

In 2022 I had my 4t65e rebuilt by a company, it felt good, shifts a little more firm thanks to a shift kit they installed. The big thing I noticed is that if i come to a stop quickly, then try to go it jerks itself into gear as if it is stuck in between gears. It has done it only twice before I tuned the car(haven't had it happened again, but at the same time I haven't came to a stop that quickly either). When the trans originally failed, the car wouldn't move at all in drive, you can drop it to 1st and it would move, but slips like crazy, if you get it into second gear, it pulled good, same for 3rd and 4th, reverse was perfectly fine. Also, what would you recommend as a service interval for these trans(GM recommends 60k, but I heard 30k is more ideal).

can you explain mechanically everything that happens below how hard is it on the 4T65E when you neutral drop? Rev in neutral at govenor at 4000 rpm and throw in drive. Does it actually break anything or just wears the clutches? I imagine the transmission is rather stout and it would handle many times before anything becomes noticeable. I also imagine this is akin to someone learning how to drive manual and keeps popping the clutch. Transmissions should have to handle a certain amount drive line shock. I also notice throwing car in reverse while moving forward > 10 mph stalls the engine. It this a mechanical safety, or the reverse gear is overpowering the engine?

Thank you Eddie.This video was a real eye & mind opener for DIYs like myself,but I have a question;would my 02 grand am torque convert and or transmission fit into my 05 chevy impala?Just curious.

Good video for a 20 minute crash course. I done a handful of rear wheel drive transmissions and others in tractors and forklifts, but this will be my first fwd. Same stuff just in a little different arrangement.

Hey do u have a photo or webpage where it would show me where the check balls go if they fall out also can it be done when in vehicle still or do u have to take the transmission all the way out to properly

You've done a good video on that transmission. I finally have an idea how mine is working or better what may not work so well. By the way, where can I order spares for this transmission? Cheers

Should I replace both band pins with a longer one, or just the 1, 2 band pin?

I have a 2008 Lucerne and it takes a wild to shift from gear to gear what are your recommendations

Hey Eddie, how are you? I have question about the input clutch, I working with 4t65e, and I replacing the input drum, my old drum has like small metal welded I believe is for balace, my new drum don’t have the metal part, this is normal?

Can you rebuild mine??? 05 GTP Are you near Florida?

Could you send a link for the clutch assembly tool?

Looks like you have done this a few times. Do you have a recommended updated parts list that you use for us DIYers for the 4t65e? Thanks for the videos!

I’m starting to lose reverse on my 06 monte SS. All other gears are fine sometimes reverse will almost completely fade out and you’ll have to rev it up till like 3500 RPMs just to get it to move. I’m not leaking any fluid anywhere. Any ideas what the problem would be for mine? I’ve heard possibly a boost valve? This transmission only has 35,000 miles on it btw

My tranny jut went out in my 07 gxp what are the things I need to look for as a rebuild

Where is the best place to get all the parts

Hey Eddie excellent video am slipping only at take off. Shifts fine afterwards, not sure if it's solenoid or worn out clutch piston or torque converter. Can you point to what's possibly going on to narrow it. Needs rebuilding, but if solenoid will fix it that would save. Some have said might be forward band would be nice to rule out guess 👍 Thanks

What were the symptoms of this.

anyone notice the oil pump shaft miss?

Do a rebuild video on a Dodge 68rfe?

If electric cars can use motors that don't require a transmission then why can't we power those electric motors with a combustion engine? To hell with transmissions, they are always the reason I have to buy a new car. The job this guy is doing is around $5,000 for a 2010 Impala. Fuck that.

My god so complex

Now can you repeat everything you said after "In my last video" in a language my dumba55 can understand lol? Transmissions are NOOOOOOT my thing. Sheesh.
