How to Install a Valve Body: 4L60E
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 жов 2023
- I show the viewer how to install the valve body onto a 2001 4L60E. I also show the installation of the separator plate, gasket set, 4th accumulator, all check balls and 1-2 accumulator housing.
This video is primarily aimed at the DYI'er who is looking to perform some service-related work on a 4L60E, including swapping valve bodies, installing a shift kit (though I don't show shift kit installs in the video, my 4L60E HD2 shift kit video will aid anyone needing some guidance with that process).

Took my valve body off last year and haven’t had the motivation or the need to put it back on and went to look for a video to refresh me on how it’s done and found this gem. Damn, I wish you uploaded this a couple months earlier when I did the job, lol
Thanks for the kind words, man. When did you reinstall your valve body? I published the vid last October so not sure if that was before or after you completed the job.
But you now have it in the event you need to do another one!
Nick thanks for your time Brother, it's a big deal to your subscribers to see your help videos, high Quality work is a great example to follow.
Thanks a bunch, Marty! Appreciate the kind words and viewership.
Thanks for doing these vids. I'm currently DIYing right now and your videos are very helpful
You're welcome and thank you for watching, man!
Hey Nick my 4l60e shifts super late around 3k rpm from 1-2nd, I popped the pan off and replaced the shift solenoids and it did not fix the issue. I took it to a shop and said it needs a valve body, how do you recommend servicing the 1-2nd shift check ball, I believe that could be my issue. Thanks in advance!
Hi Andrew, thank you for watching. If your 1-2 check ball seating location is wearing and the ck ball is getting stuck, you can repair the plate with Fitzall's plate repair kit: m.ua-cam.com/video/-Y_8nfNZse8/v-deo.html&pp=ygUdNGw2MGUgc2VwYXJhdG9yIHBsYXRlIHJlcGFpciA%3D
Im not sure the valve body is the problem but you can test it via the Sonnax vac test machine.
What diagnosis work did the shop do to conclude the valve body needs to be replaced?
I asked them if they did a vacuum test on it, he said that my year(2008) is electrically tested instead of vacuum tested, I’m not sure what electrical testing they did, but that’s all they told me. I’m going to dive into it soon and see if the 1-2 check ball has cratered the separation plate before I order a replacement valve body, the truck only has 50,000 miles on it and the shop said they won’t put a new valve body in and offered to replace the whole transmission so I took it back home to work on myself lol. If you have any more advice I would greatly appreciate it, and I love your videos!
I would have nothing more to do with that shop. You can test all 20 years of 4L60Es electrically/electronically and via vacuum testing. I have a video on this channel showing the vacuum testing of a 2010 4L60E valve body.
I think you need to find another shop that is willing to test your valve body or simply buy the Sonnax vacuum tester and test the VB yourself. If the valve body is found to have worn bores, depending on the bore that is worn out, you can either purchase drop in valves and/or bore plugs that are slightly oversized to restore sealing integrity in those locations...Commonly worn bores include the AFL valve, TCC regulator valve, forward and reverse abuse bore plug locations and (less common) the low-overrun valve, 3-4 sequencing valve and accumulator regulator valve.
Hi Nick, first time viewer, man you are thorough!! I will now be a subscriber, real good info, thanks.👍👍👍👍
Thank you for the kind words, Doug!
I cannot thank you enough for responding to me and yes I absolutely will check it out
You're welcome and thank you for watching!
Your a legend bloke , from Australia 💪🇦🇺
Thanks, man! Appreciate the kind words!
@nickstransmissions hey mate, you didn't put the ball valves in????
Hey Spponser, thanks for watching...There all in there - I use thick, green assembly lube to hold them to the underside of the valve body so they don't fall out.
@nickstransmissions are you able to show me which spots they go? I did my box the other day and I believe I only had 5/6 metal balls when I took it apart and out it together, I put the box in the car and it doesn't drive so I think I might've lost a ball
Here you go (skip to 35 minutes in): m.ua-cam.com/video/EMeefT7Cbzw/v-deo.html
104lb of torque for the accumulator bolts? Many searches on Google state 6-10lb of torque. Which one is it?
I have no idea what specific site or sites you've looked at but ATSG calls for 8 ft lbs, I use 104 inch lbs so as long as you're using 96 inch lbs but no more than 110 inch lbs, you'll be fine.
Nick I need your advice on a problem I have with my Ford C-6. I recently had to replace the gear shaft seal and now I’m having trouble realigning the valve body to the gear selector, especially trying to figure out the proper position of the parking actuator pawl rod (I think it’s called). I thought I had got it right but when I did a test if putting the gear selector in neutral I got under the car and tried to rotate the driveshaft by hand but it wouldn’t move. So my question is should I try putting the car in neutral and then try to reinstall the valve body?
Hi Gerald, check out my C6 rebuild vid (pt 2) and skip ahead to 49:11 where i begin to install the valve body: ua-cam.com/video/WI-1OeTb-So/v-deo.html
That should give you a good idea of what to do...let me know if you have any questions after viewing it and we can go from there.
Very informative. Quick question - 4l60e in a `99 trans am is fine everywhere except on the highway, the TCC unlocks when I slightly let off of the accelerator. Shifts and TCC lock are fine. Thanks in advance!
Oh .... and I have no mil code and also disabled the TCC duty cycle in the tune.
Sounds like either electronic/command and control driven or a small leak in the TCC apply circuit, either in the valve body, input shaft (o-ring) or converter itself going out. It may also be related to your tuning but I don't have any experience in the tuning/programming side of things so you'd need to contact your tuner or consult with a tuning SME.
Good video thank you for posting
Thanks, man - appreciate the feedback.
2002 Tahoe 4l60 bangs in reverse. Any idea what it could be?
Check line pressure on the trans to confirm/deny a high line condition...It's not common on those like it is the earlier 4L80Es, TH400s etc but it happens from time to time. Also check for the reverse check ball in the case; it's down by the low-reverse feed location. Perhaps it was removed at some point.
Nick good morning. Your video was a great help. I think I got it right now. What I did was to put the transmission in park, then position the actuator rod in position then I rotated the driveshaft until I heard it click into the prawl and lock. Then moved the shifter to neutral to verify that I could rotate the driveshaft and it worked. I will reinstall the pan today. I only have two questions, how tight should the 7/8 nut be? I tightened it but not excessively and should the c6 kickdown without the original kickdown rod as I use Fitech efi and the rod won’t work. Thanks again very much for your help
Good morning! I'd tighten up that selector shaft retention nut otherwise it may come loose. Not having the kick down shouldn't harm the trans but can't say what the experience would be like from the driver's point of view as it's been over 10 years since I've owned a C6-equipped vehicle.
Hey man you rotated the main drive shaft right? My truck is 4wd so was wondering which one you rotated
Hey nick new sub! Question I lost all the foward gears in my 2004 4x4 tahoe. I was thinking maybe a checkball issue. Was wondering if I have to pull the Trans for this or if I can pull the whole valve body off
Hey Gunnerranch, thank you for the view and sub! Unfortunately, the trans will have to come out as either the forward sprag has broken, low roller clutch broke (this is the case if you have no forward movement in any gear setting on your shifter) and/or forward clutch failed. All this assumes you have reverse.
@nickstransmissions I do have reverse. Thank you! Cheaper to buy a reman or rebuild?
You're welcome, man...It's always cheaper to rebuild your own, especially if you want to upgrade it.
@nickstransmissions man I would myself if I was good enough to do all that I mean I tinker and stuff. But seems complicated haha
In that case, I'd find a local transmission builder well-versed on those units to do the work (most shops are). They will know what updates and upgrades to incorporate so that it's done right and you'll not have to worry about it after everything's completed.
what about just driving home from work and the "Transmission Hot" comes on in the dash and it ends up not shifting out of first? I got home and dropped the pan and i mean there was a little bit of metal shavings from it being a 200k mile transmission but other than that nothing out of the ordinary? 2004 chevy silverado z71
That could be either TFTS (trans fluid temp sensor") is bad, the fluid is actually too hot or your VSS is bad...If an over-temp condition is detected, the PCM will typically freeze upshifts and adapts...You'll know this is the case if normal function is restored once the vehicle is allowed to sit for a while then you drive it again. If you have P1810, it's likely a bad temp switch (the temp switch is integrated into your pressure switch manifold assembly, which is that oblong thing bolted to the valve body as seen in the thumbnail image for this video.
Lastly, check your vehicle speed sensor...yours will be in the transfer case since you have a Z71. If the VSS is bad or there's a break in comms between it and the PCM, you will have no upshift from 1st gear.
@@nickstransmissions I had the same problem but instead of 1st it was 3rd should check the same things?
Should I take out my low reverse check ball? I assume it just helps with fluid flow?
Up to you...no check ball = firmer engagement in reverse...
Idea for video: I would guess that the DIYer's know little to nothing about checking servo pin length. Might be usefull.
Agree, it would be very helpful as a stand-alone vid. Will aim to get one on the channel soon!
I have a rebuilt 07 4l60, is it possible to swap over all the different components from a 09?
Why would you want to swap anything from another transmission into a freshly rebuilt transmission?
@@nickstransmissions it's an 07 it won't work in my 09 Canyon as it sits
More context to the story so I don't look like a complete moron. I bought a wrecked 2007 Hummer h3 for the motor to replace my blown 2009 Canyon. Pulled the engine and transmission and seen the transmission is brand new. The one out of the Canyon looks in rough shape.
Ah i see, makes sense...You can transfer the gears, drums, output shaft, pump but not the valve body or electronics/harness/etc as 09+ is completely different than 07 when it comes to the electrical/electronic stuff.
Are you in nevada by any chance?
Hi Meangreen, I don't give out my location on UA-cam but if you want to contact me for transmission service if we happen to be in the same location, feel free to reach out to me on the Tahoeyukon.com forum...If you don't have an account, it's free to join so you can sign up and then send me a private message there (my user name is the same as it is on here).
@@nickstransmissions reason i ask, i thought i saw a nv plate in this video lol
Shows every detail except check ball locations in vavlve body..lol..great vids though.
Huh? I show all the check ball locations in the valve body. Watch it again, skip to 12:57.
