He was made for the camera uses the correct terminology, tells the sockets needed, tells u in order what needs to be done first, and has a good attitude when he runs into a hick-up while working...he didn't have bleep out anything wasn't visibly frustrated 😂. Great video man 👌
Haha appreciate it 🤙
He didn’t say co better bolt and crank pulley size

Yes, you can tell that this is not his first Vaseline goat 🐐 roping contest. He is a professional at turds falling from a tall moose. 👍
Never judge a book by its cover, my first impression was this video wouldn’t be much help or show anything I haven’t already seen in other videos. I was extremely wrong, this is the absolute best and most helpful 4L60e removal video out there, I’ve watched almost all of them, this video needs a award, thanks so much guys
Happy it was helpful for you, thank you👍
I just put a used 4l60e in my 99 gmc ext. Cab 2wd in my garage. I did it 100% myself except getting it out of the back of my other truck. After that just me 5'5" 140lbs no problem. Thanks for the video helped quite a bit.
One ☝🏾 off the best Mechanic’s I’ve seen on UA-cam hands 🙌🏾 down. Great job 💯
Great video. Straight to the point with no unnecessary chatter or goofing off. Good explanation from start to finish. Now I'm confident about dropping my transmission. Thank you.
No problem, thanks for the feedback🤙
Thank you for your detailed information on removal of transmission and transfer case. My Dad used to guide me thru the process but unfortunately he passed away. I'm very grateful for your thorough explanation.
We’re sorry for your loss, glad it was helpful for you👍
I've looked at several videos on how to do this and this video is by far the very best one. Well done 👏
With the correct size hose you can use a vacuum brake bleeder to remove most of the transmission pans fluid, so it doesn’t make a big mess. slip the hose down the transmission fill tube. It won’t get all the fluid, but almost a 4 quarts or more.
Great tip!
I can't thank you guys enough. I dropped mine, had it rebuilt, and installed it by myself, in my driveway. Must have watched this video 20 times. I don't know that I could not have done it without you. Can't believe you lifted that transfer case straight in. I had to finagle it in with a second jack, and almost dropped it on my head.
No problem, glad you safely got it done and didn’t drop it on your head.
Was it hard to rebuild it on your own, and what kit did you use and if you don’t mind did you watch a video that’s was good?
@@kevinconejo9361he had it rebuilt
That’s what I said whose down their he man 😂 great job
Great video... now i remember why i didn't want to fix my rear main seal. This will be a great help. Thank you sir.
This man made it look easy, cooler lines are a mf to disconnect and bell housing bolts are hard to get to and some of the wire connectors are hard to unhook, I wouldn’t hesitate to pay a man good money to do this job because it’s a sob
through the wheel wells works great for me.
Cooler lines aren't bad if u use a pick
I just did the same thing you did with the transfer case removal - boy, you weren't kidding when you said it was gonna take a nose dive!!
That was very helpful because I was about to drop one and I've never done one so thanks so much that was very handy tips though.
Pro tip with the front driveshaft: Disconnect it from the front axle then leave it hanging until after the trans cross-member and exhaust are off. Then it's super-easy to get out. Also, remove the crossmember before undoing the exhaust.
Wouldn't it be easier to remove the exhaust then cross member so ur not trying to hold up exhaust as u remove it?
@@jrockaz548 The exhaust leans on the frame x-member on a 4x4. The Y-pipe doesn't come out with the trans x-member in place. Believe me, I've tried!!! :-)
Simple but time saving 👍
Awesome video! I was taking notes along the way, pulling the one from my avalanche right now
Great noise 😂 great video. Don’t mention the camera, it looks great lol
Bro I am do happy u made this video my truck took a crap n had no clue bout all those harnesses
Great video, Thanks!
I'm doing a 2001 1500 4x4 and know that what you taught me will be very helpful. Again
Thank you ! ! !
If you take the torque converter out of the transmission, it's amazing how light the transmission gets!!!! If this is something you expect to be doing even every couple years, I recommend buying a transmission jack. They are worth the price but there is a bit of a learning curve, especially if the place you are working is not completely flat. I recently bought one and I'm kicking myself for not getting one years and years ago.
Transmission jacks are definitely the way to go!
Seriously, probably the best instructional video I've ever seen.
Awesome video gents. Very clear and concise. I need to do one in a Escalade and not looking forward to it
This is one of the best videos I've ever seen. Saved to my favorites, thanks a lot !!!!
Thank you very much!
Fantastic video! Well put and so helpful. Thanks!
Thank you for the great video! Following along now and mine is almost out!
@2:35 I thought he said he was re-poing the transmission 😂💀 I was like damn that’s a dedication right there to show up to an old customers house and take back a transmission They didnt pay for 😂😂
Hahaha if that was the case, not sure it would’ve been recorded
@@ZHPGarage 😂 I was like damn that’s pretty gangster lmao
Great video. Me and my brother just did one in a 99 Silverado and he was pretty strong to man handle that transfer. I did it the same way but their was two of us lol and I didn’t think about turning crank. That’s a lot better then using a flat tip screwdriver on the flex plate. Now I’m about to do it again in my 06 avalanche z71 but now I got a HarborFreight transmission jack. Hopefully it’ll make it even easier.
Why was this video 100000000000 easy well explained the the other videos ive seenn. We need that guy making more video !!! Subscribed!!!!
Your a very hard working guy. I enjoyed your video.
I'm gonna drop out my transmission this weekend hopefully it'll go smoothly I'll take the dam steps as you
This is a great video. He definitely made that transfer case look lighter than it was. I managed it but I didn't look smooth at all like he did. It took me a while to figure out how to get that top bolt out of the transfer case. I ended up buying a stubby gear wrench. That made it oretty easy.
Eh uncle Hercules! mahalo for your amazing video just a braddah from Hawaii 🤙🏼 hands down best 4l60e removal
I'm in the process of doing this in my driveway - just wanted to add that you can access the exhaust flange nut on the drivers side SO much easier if you remove the wheel well dust cover and go at it from the side. My first mission with my 08 was to replace stuck lifters before tackling the trans, and I was able to access the exhaust nut real easy (and the entire passenger side of the engine) by removing the tire and well jacket. This way you don't have to fight an O2 sensor.
I replaced my trans lines, and didnt even think to pull a wheel and the liner. Thats great info
On those fill & drain plugs for the transfer case, GM recommends single use, do not reuse, because of the special alloy. I also had a transmission guy tell me do not reuse them. They are available as a replacement part from GM, I know because I bought some. So if you want to follow GM recommendations, pick up a pair of new ones. Also the fluid in the transfer case is not transmission fluid, it is special fluid that is specific to that application, also available from GM. Might as well drain and refill the transfer case with fresh fluid if you are going to replace or rebuild the transmission.
I love your work . I wish I was back in Cali..but m in Florida now. i change oil pan gasket on an escalade 6.0 and all the sensors . still leaking, from the starter side,, I think is the rear main seal.. is a little hard on the floor job.
Bro nice video friend and the thanks for your time and for making it so easy for us 🇺🇸👍
Best video out there on tranny removal! Great work
Howdie Been Mecnec 35 years and this is to a T Awesome Work Done Many of these and this is the Cake Thks For Sharin thats why ya Got my Sub Keep up the Great work
You just saved me $800.00.
Thank you !
Great video, Thank you.
Nice job thx for the instructions. Going to be doing a rear main seal on my 03 Silverado real soon. Leaking badly.
This is a great video. Super helpful. Thanks guy 🤙🏻 well done 👍🏻
This is the exact video I needed thanks.
Man you really are a BEAST holding that Transfer Case like you did!!!! Hercules my a** yu have the strength of Zeus, Poseidon and all of the other Gods too 🤣🤣🤣💯💯💯 Great job at doing this job, I know for a fact how difficult it can be because I’m a mechanic myself but I don’t post anything but my wife is always telling me to do that because I’m good at my job and no one can see all the work that we as mechanic’s go thru to get the job done and get it done properly, safely, and as swiftly as possible!!!! But all in all this video is on point. I’m always lookin around for ways to get the job done quicker and correctly & I ran across your video and seen ways to shorten my time removing and installing my next 4L60E Transmission whenever I have that particular job that comes my way!!!! 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾💯💯💯🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Oh yeah I forgot to mention your trusty assistant/camera guy did a better job than most recording the work. I don’t think he wasn’t pointing/aiming where shouldn’t of been or didn’t have good angles like he was saying in the beginning!!! Hats off to him to cause w/o him it would’ve been tuff recording and working by yourself cause then you’ll have more editing to do than y’all already had. I bet it only took 2-2 1/2 hours if that for you to pull that Tranny and Transfer Case
Hahaha Zeus, Poseidon, and all the other gods😂😂 big thanks man, definitely doesn’t hurt to always look around for other ideas on how to do a job more effectively 🤙🤙
VERY well done video! Professional quality for sure! Great mechanic as well!
THANK YOU GUYS VERY MUCH! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! AWESOME VIDEO!
That was awesome. Great job.
This video is making me want to do it myself!
Great video! Thank you for all your efforts to show us a detailed way to do this.
Definitely earned a sub looks very easy I’m doing mine Sunday
Excellent job in all aspects!
Excellent how-to!!!!
Awesome step by step explanation.
Thanks for this video!!
Torching those bolts with mapp gas really saved my life
Excellent video!!
Dope video guys thanks
thanks for the video. about to change the transmission in my 2006 myself. shop wants over $1,000 to do it and im stingy with my money. lol. mine failed at 170k miles.
Man this was an awesome and very thorough video!
Thank you!
This is the best video for this job on you tube
You saved my life brother thanks
Great video with explanation
nice work brother gonna help me alot
I freaking love UA-cam... some vids are hard to follow but this one, step by step, yes it took me longer... but dang
Awesome video. Dude is a conqueror for sure.
Thank you
I have to replace a rear main seal. this is great. thanks
Thanks! good vid, im bout to try putting in a throw out bearing tomorrow, next weekend at the latest. Now i know what to expect and how to do it. Im gonna conquer it dudes 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Thank you for the generous donation and support. Get er done!! 💪💪
Great video thanks
Welp let’s see how long it takes me to put a transmission in my truck… lol I use to be excited about this, now I’m just tired and not sure if it needs done lol it kicks like a mule between every gear though!
Thanks for the video guys I’m prolly going to have to try this on my own. I’m not a mechanic don’t know what I’m doing but have an idea of how to do this. I appreciate you guys doing this from the ground since that’s what I have to do. I just hope I can get everything apart since that has been the issue with every vehicle I’ve done. can’t get the bolts off or something breaks. Hopefully it will go smooth for me cuz I can’t afford to take it to a shop.
How’d it go?
I have never removed a transmission in my life. I followed your video step by step and was able to get this pig of a thing out and on its way to rebuild. Thank you so much for this video. PS. It took me two days to do it. A little longer than your 23 minute video lol. How long did it take you to do it in real time?
Which bracets connect to the studs because I have 2 stud bolts but I don’t know where the bracets go
I'll be doing this to my 04 Avalanche this spring. Thanks for the video
Great video 🙌🏾
Great video.
Excellent. Thanks for the step-by-step to do this job.
Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!! thank you!!!
very helpful video for getting me started in rebuilding my 2007 1500 4x4 4L60E, thanks!
No problem! Get er done haha
I know it’s been years but a complete list of tools used would be. Immensely helpful.
Very well done video and explanation great job thank you for the play by play
No problem, glad it was helpful 👍
I don't have a flange on my exhaust how can I get it out of my way other than cutting it
Hey, I was wondering how did you manage to remove that top notch from the bell housing. I can’t find a way to access it with my extensions.
don't know if you guys give feedback but I have one question. everything is complete but have a 3-pin female connector hanging down next to the starter, can't figure out what this connects to,
Great video! Any concerns with leaving the transmission hanging after you removed the transmission mount and crossmember?
Great Tutorial! Was curious though on how you supported the engine after removing the tranny. Is the motor balanced on the motor mounts?
What jackstands are you using? I have a 94 sierra i need to pull the trans out of. Plan to use the harbor freight 800lb trans jack and need to make sure ill clear on the way out... great video!
This dude got the strongest neck muscles. my head would’ve been hanging off my neck after laying the cardboard down.

Yo good video should just throw a list of specfic tools and parts needed for the job like 1 a auto deos!
U did a good job man, I'll be paying for someone to do mine, damn transmission wont get out of 1st gear , the rpm revved when I was on the highway going 70mph and it was like I was in neutral
That’s no good!
The sun shell is problem bustedor the teeth on Sun gear could have broken teeth
Does your transmission have reverse?
@@markjohnson4196 @money Mig MM did you ever figure out what the problem was exactly with your trucks stuck in 1st gear? I was pulling away from a stop sign in my 04 GMC Sierra 4x4 and the trans just dropped like it was shifted into neutral and now I can't get any gears including reverse. When I place into park ten try to put it into drive or any gear the engine rpm goes up like it's anticipating going into a gear but when I press gas to try to move it just revs as if it has no gears inside transmission. Since it's 4x4 and since I just had the transmission rebuilt a month ago I'm starting to think maybe my transfer case is stuck in neutral. If y'all have any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it!
@@danuttz749 Return your truck to the shop that replaced your transmission for a warranty replacement. While you could have a transfer case problem, it is exceedingly unlikely that was your problem. How hard were you "pulling away" from the stop sign? Was the stop sign in front of a 1/4 mile of blacktop? LOL.
Diagnostics if you've not repaired it yet. Pull the inspection cover off the bottom of the trans bellhousing with the engine running and see if the TC is spinning. If not, then the TC is disconnected from the flexplate and the shop needs to replace the TC bolts. If the TC is spinning, then it could be out of fluid, or the pump could have failed. If you were hammering on it, you could've broken the sunshell. If any of these parts were worn, then they should've been replaced during the rebuild. Especially the sunshell, which is a known weak point in the 4L60E.
I have that same pan on my 99 Silverado. Just curious, why didn't you use the drain plug before removing the pan? Can the pan drain plug be problematic?
Did any special swivels or anything make this easier to get the exhaust bolts out
So what year transmission 4l60 change I got a 06 sierra and seeing what years fit it
Nice
How come when I pulled off my rear drive shaft my front driveshaft wasn’t spinning freely like yours?
Why didnt you just take the drain plug out of the trans instead of taking the pan down??
If I'm getting a transmission from the junk yard do i need to flush it? found one with 126K.. I'm pretty sure my other one is toast. someone also told me you should flush out the old lines.
Could you possibly give me a run down of every size of tool you used so i can write them down please. I would appreciate it very much.
Thanks for the tips. Maybe you missed my comment any tip on pulling rear drive shaft?? Shes pretty stuck at the rear end
Make sure the vehicle is blocked and secured, shift it out of park to make sure there is no load on the u joints, remove both u joint caps and pry against the pinion nut and u joint. Sorry for delay.
Wow very professional video and work!
Thank you very much👌
How did you get the top bolt on the trans?
