This video serves as a general guide to showing you how to drain the transmission fluid, remove the transmission pan, remove the old filter and gasket that's tricky to get out. Then, we'll show how to install the new gasket, new filter, new gasket, as well as installing the pan back in with aftermarket billet bolts from ICT Billet!

Ummm…my pan doesn’t just slide out that easy! 😢
I 'm sure those expensive bolts are going to make your truck perform better. I would NOT use brake cleaner, it is chlorinated and can damage internal parts, If nothing else use carb cleaner.
It holds 12.5 quarts including the converter. You should change that fluid too, you left 4.5 quarts of old oil in the trans.
If the pan won’t come out make sure you fully separate the gasket from the pan and get something to pry the exhaust down it makes it easier I used a floor jack and a crow bar
Did a pan drop and filter change. I also installed the superior solutions bypass. Added 6 quarts. Can't get the trans that hot. I drove around for about 30 mins, checked at 145f and the fluid isn't even in the cold hash marks. Safe to say i need to add more, right?
Wish my 2009 pan would come off that easy. Takes pry bars, dropping the filter while pan is still under the transmission, but loose, plus a sequence of twists, turns and holding my breath just right.
What about the old fluid in the converter ?
Should the insurance gray color that is in the corner go down or up?
Does anybody know the part number for the filter seal?
Bro hands down the best video of this job
Best video i seen. Definitely gave me the confidence to do change my transmission fluid.
I am just gonna say this was an amazingly helpful video, but you make it look so much easier lol
What was the clear tube in your transfer pump? I tried to use one in my 2013 tahoe but it seems like the larger diameter hose wouldn't reach the bottom of the pan. Great video btw.
Very clear instructions. Thank you. I feel comfortable doing this at my house
How many miles did your truck have any issue after the service thank you for your time
Try this again, what was the milage on your truck when you did this fluid and filter change? and also where you having any problems with this 6L80 trans like a lot of them do?
I don’t know what different with mine but the pan is getting hung up and needs more clearance. It’s absolutely frustrating. It looked like you had plenty of room. Does the gear that it’s in matter? I’m rather stuck now…
How crucial is replacing that little filter seal?
Has anyone experienced rust or debris coming out when checking this 6L80 transmission fluid? I have a 2015 Tahoe. Fluid looks good reddish in color still. I did the thermal bypass by Shift and immediately after i finished i took it for a drive ro check it wasnt leaking and see how much fluid i needed to top off.
We’re is the filter, is it not like an oil filter?
