    Used your video and a book from Amazon, did my tranny on 2002 Cadillac Escalade. Big THANKS! I am no mechanic but was able to rebuild the tranny, upgraded sun gear shell and shift kits. 10 month and still running. $350.00 including oil! Used radiator hose with clamps to compress the Teflon seals - most important part of the project. Thank you very much man!

    your videos are the best that i have seen on transmissions! you are a true technician and a great teacher! i've been a mechanic for 18 years on auto and diesel and have learned alot about automatics by watching your great videos! thank you for taking the time to teach the rest of us about these transmissions!

    I have rebuilt a couple transmissions in the past. I am no pro but I did pull it off successfully. Having done it first hand though I have to say this guy is like a transmission ninja. I do not remember the dis-assembly being anywhere close to 30 minutes on the ones I did. I must have spent a solid 3-4 hours and we are talking 47RE, 350, 700R4 transmissions that I did. This guy really knows his stuff.

We have a 1999 1500 5.3 truck we test them in. Your video is an excellent addition to our activity and the kids were watching it on their phones. Thanks! Kirk

    A big thanks again. Rebuild is complete thanks in most part to you and your videos, with a little help from the Haynes Repair Manual, the GM Techtran Manual, some trial/error, a just a bit of patience! Waiting on a solenoid valve and then it's install.

  • @valerapopovich3217
    @valerapopovich3217 Před 11 lety

    Thank you very much for the video. Watching your video and reading a lot of posts online made me (an automotive painter) confident enough to remove, rebuild (replaced sun gear shell with Smartshell, TransGo Shift kits, TCC update) and install by myself. I appreciate how you emphasized many important aspects - they are important. My advice: do not go crazy upgrading your stuff, pay someone to do your teflon seals but in any case TAKE YOUR TIME. It is doable - I have a 2002 Escalade to prove it:)

  • @michaelj.c.peters557
    @michaelj.c.peters557 Před 10 lety

    @earlj8739 Před 11 lety

    Great teardown video on the 4l60E.I have a 98 Chevy 1500 with the same Trans w v6 motor. I broke it. took off from stop, shifted fine 1, 2, 3. when it went into OD/4th felt like I tore the trans out of the truck. nothing coming out the back; coasted to stop, looked to see if the Drive shaft came out. still there. no forward no reverse. just hear the torque turning. Felt like the whole truck came apart. No grinding noise, just no motion either way. Thank You for your time

    glad you are here. I stepped off in deep. I installed a 4l60e from a 99 yukon in my 98 silverado. it has 80000 miles. my truck has 200000, the tranny was fine when my daughter burned up the engine. I had trouble getting it mated up. got the replacement engine running good. It won't go into gear. was getting p7040 and p7085. I changed all the solenoids and harness, put the ones from the older unit is. It still does nothing. I had the tc bolted to the flywheel when I installed it.

    @turbodiesel4709 Před 10 lety +1

    @ 13:00, "Excuse me boss... you have a text message." - LMAO! I literally almost fell outta my chair laughing. But seriously... this is a great video! One can easily tell this isn't your first rodeo here, just based on your commentary about what is going on and what to be careful of, etc. Experience sure is invaluable when teaching others. Keep up the great work! I'm looking forward to watching the repair/rebuild video of this transmission. Putting a tranny all back together is undoubtedly a much larger chore than the disassembly of it. It's really no wonder why it costs so damned much to rebuild a tranny. Lots of labor time and you really gotta know your shit so that it all works correctly when you are done!

  • @gasmit2x

I wrench on anything that has a motor as a hobby and figure that short of building a space ship I should be able to tackle anything with the right tools and a comprehensive guide such as the one you provide in your video. Thanks for the insight as well as the professionalism ( I noticed the apology to the viewers and thus silencing your cell phone.) Hiram you are "Top Notch"

    Hiram,
    Thank you so much for taking the time to put these videos together. I have taken a few automotive classes in high school but that was almost 7 years ago. This is a great tool to use for those DIY'ers who need a refresh course or who never tore a transmission apart. What I liked most about your videos is how you go further into explaining what to look out for, for future head aches and I can't wait to tear my transmission apart this week.
    Thanks again,
    Nicholas Garcia

    Wow, flash back! I popped my cherry on this unit in 1999, Milford Proving Grounds Milford Michigan. I'm more into the engineering side of things now but have worked on many transmissions over the years. Currently working with CVT's and 9/10 speeds but the 4L60E still holds a special place in my heart lol, it was so simple. We have almost 500 parts in our 9 speed WTF 🤣

  • @d.j.weddle1617
    @d.j.weddle1617 Před 10 lety +3

    Just wanna say that whoever come up with an automatic transmission was a freaking genius! My Lord, I never thought there was that much junk inside of one. I have a 2007 Chevy Silverado with some 90,000 miles on her and they are not all pretty miles so to save a buck I was looking at buying my buddies tranny out of his donor truck to "build up" for my truck during downtime at work....I will need this video for sure! Thanks Hiram! Play and Pause is for sure in my future!!

  • @chevelle99xify

So thanks so much for the video. I can tell you have done many of these, they with all the secret tricks and quickness you were doing ! lol take care buddy !

  • @63256325N

    yes about that sun gear shell. Mine was cracked but not yet broken free. I got an improved heavy duty version. I also upgrade the pump and one other valve part. Also had an open coil on one of the solenoids. And the input shaft bushings I replaced. This is on my 1994 Road-master Wagon.

    @MichaelHigginsJR Před 11 lety

    I wish someone with your level of technical proficiency did classes. I just went from a bad 2-3 flare shift to no 3/4 with my 94 4l60e. I have called different shops around town but they all seem to just throw rebuild kits in and call it a day. I'd like to do some upgrades and learn as much as I can with the supervision of an expert.
    Last shop was convinced I have a 700r4 despite me explaining otherwise. 94 T15 Jimmy.

    Some years ago I did a Subaru and a Dodge transmission and it's really not bad it looks on this video. Unlike Hirma, we kept the cluster pieces together and not put away or aside like Hiram is doing. You have to treat the a module piece and keep somewhat together. Use your smart phone and take photos you remove the pieces.

    Hi Hiram, I just wanted to update you on the symptom I had of no forward gears only reverse. You mentioned it could be the input sprag. Well I've tore it down with the help of your video and found the rear planetary gear bearing exploded causing the planetary gear to lock up and it snapped the the splines right off the output shaft. Similar to what happens the sun shell when it snaps. I've also rebuilt a core 4l60e with the help of your videos. Thanks a lot for all that you do. I will be waiting for a 5r110 video
