    Hands down one of the greatest videos on the YT. I have watched it probably 25 times and built 2 transmissions along with it. I can’t thank you nearly enough for doing these vids. A real game changer that really saved my bacon in remote Alaska. The current tranny is my daily driver I’m about to put the pump bolts in, and the first one was my project truck I’ll be covering on another channel I’m starting out of inspiration from you and others covering my truck projects from engine builds to body fab. Kudos and thanks again!

    I’m just over 3k miles since my rebuild and all seems good! Thanks again for the great video series. One thing I learned was I didn’t save myself anything by going with a cheaper rebuild kit. I ended up needing to order a lot of one off items and probably spent more than if I just bought the rebuild kit you suggested…and I spent more time waiting for every shipment. Thanks again!👍

    Thank you for your awesome step by step assembly and wear check instructions. Make it look so easy. Right tools are a must. This video was a life saver. Took me 20 minutes to find a clip ring plier that would pull output shaft ring. my case was worn so couldnt get oneway/silencer out easily.Took hour to find tools to twist oneway around against silencer enough to pull oneway out. So nice to pop oneway back in the case despite the silencer. Case is worn a bit but its not going to be a drag machine or wall climber truck.

    I just wanna say, thank yall so much for this video series! I know its been 3 years+ since yall posted, but my 2004 GMC Envoy XUV lost its 3-4 clutch pack at 152k miles in August.
    I just spent the last week and a half rebuilding the transmission myself following your series and even upgraded it quite a bit! Threw a 4L65e upgrade kit in it, new Sonnax SmartTech Input Drum, hardened 300mm input shaft, and new stator in all in about 8 working days! And it works now thanks to this video and following it damn near religiously!
    So, I have the equivalent of atleast 800 ft-lbs of capacity in this thing now with the upgraded 9 frictions and steels for the 3-4, all kolene steels/high frictions, and 5 pinion planetaries, oh yeah and the super servo/corvette servo. Its been a ride! And it shifts like butter now!

    I followed all the steps and everything was great but I had no reverse when I put it back. I had to pull the trans again and redo the pump stator rings, this is where the reverse magic happens apparently, I replaced the old rings and didn't have the proper tool to resize them once I got them on and tried to do it makeshift with hose clamps and a plastic sleeve wrapped around them to go in between, I compressed them too much and they were not making a good enough seal on the shaft. I pulled the pump and used the $40 Ring Buddy tool to resize them properly. I learned that if the pump goes in too easy on reassembly, something is wrong, if it goes in too hard, something is wrong and you will tear or nick the seal if you force it. Pay attention on this part guys. Also the input drum seals were the hardest part of the job really, a PITA to get that piston back in with both seals intact. I used some cable ties to shrink down the seal on the outside one then put it in the freezer for 20 minutes so it would hold that shape until it warmed up. I used a water bottle top cut down to size to put over the middle shaft for the inside one. The piston slipped right in. I tore a seal on the first attempt using the feeler gauge method so be careful either way. Overall great video.

      @@cjf3838 I went back in my head through each step and remember checking all my pistons with air before putting the pump back in, I also remember the pump being a little too easy to drop back in and knew I used a homebrew makeshift tool to compress the rings, watched a few people putting pumps back in on YT and knew I should have felt some resistance from the rings. It was an educated guess and when I put the actual tool on it after pulling it apart again, I knew immediately that was the issue because the play on the shaft was noticeable.

      @@douglasmueller4684 Oh okay thanks for the reply. So I see someone can save some cash but not a whole lot really. I haven't really got any good prices on transmissions. I checked my fluid again today and it did look burnt, so i was going to change the fluid and filter and I hope that fixes it.my issue is that I own a 2002 camaro and no lift 😆. Even changing the filter and fluid will be a pain to change. I do have some ramps, but if that doesn't fix my issue then I will have to see if i can push it off the ramps. Thanks

    I have a 2000 GMC Jimmy ( 4l60e ) that lost all forward gears. I bought it as a parts truck for my Sonoma. However, now that I've just had open heart surgery and I'm recovering from a quadruple bypass I find myself bored to the point that I am seriously considering trying to do this. I've done a lot of shade tree mechanic in but I've never touched a transmission. If nothing else I figure I'll know how much harder it is to do than to watch.
    Great video by the way.

    • @dudewecanfixit
      @dudewecanfixit  3 роки тому +1

      I think it'll be fine. Ideally, they would be spotless, but if you cleaned them up, the ATF should do the rest. Automatic transmission fluid has a lot of detergents in it, hence why the inside of the transmission is so clean. It should finish cleaning any small particles that you missed and keep them suspended in the fluid. Just make sure to change the fluid every 30k miles

    Great stuff fellas! I'm about 2/3 done with my 4l60e rebuild. Thanks to finding your video after it lost reverse I decided to jump on this rebuild myself. First time for me and it's going great. Quick question if you don't mind: I replaced the bushing in the sungear. I don't believe it needed it but i did it anyway because you said to. My kit had a wider bushing for this sungear. I understand that is normal in some kits and does actually provide a performance benefit. Anyway after replacing the bushing I could not get it to fit back on the shaft. After working it a good bit and cussing it a whole lot I finally got it on bit was brutally tight. I banged on it with a hammer like Jimmy at Transmission Bench recommends. This did help but the sungear is still not as loose as yours. I can turn it on the shaft by hand but it will not spin wit outu constant force being applied. Is this going to work or should I take it all back apart and try something different? Thanks man!

    • @dudewecanfixit
      @dudewecanfixit  3 роки тому +3

      Sorry for the late reply. I would try tapping it with the hammer some more to try to loosen it up a bit. The most important thing is being able to assemble and disassemble it without much force because that is where you could scratch the surface of the bearing and cause premature failure. If it won't get any looser, I would apply some trans-jell before assembly and let it roll. It should wear in fairly quickly once the transmission is installed.
      Best of luck!

I soaked the whole body on tranny fluid (which is an amazing cleaner by the way) and was able to get the valves out. Meanwhile, I bought a tranny rebuild kit and will rebuild this one using the valve body and the torque converter from the original tranny. I have been told that the internal components from 1996-1999 are interchangeable, will post the answer when I get to the actual swap.

      I'm not sure how to decipher the tag. You can probably find a good guide on the internet

    Got a question why didnt u guys use the stock high energy clutches

    • @dudewecanfixit

      We used Raybestos high energy or HD clutches. They are what is recommended from transmissionbench.com

    Hey guys, first off great video on the rebuild! Im currently undertaking the task myself. I was able to getthe low reverse piston in and got the sunshell in with the reaction shaft and the one way clutch working, however, my output shaft wouldnt go in all the way. So I dissassembled and reassembled (set the first bushing in its proper place), but now I can't assemble the sunshell with the one way clutch working. Any suggestions would be appreciated

      I would take it apart again and start over. It's hard to say what might not be lining up
