Excellent breakdown Hiram! You've come a long way to how you explain operation (not the reading of the paper part, I mean your interpretation through experience 😁😉), the warnings, how in depth with detail you go into. Absolutely awesome! 👏🏻👍🏻 I'm behind on the vids with the amount of work I'm doing, but I try to at least listen in the background. It's just great to see you back at it! 😁😊
seriously... thank you for the effort you put into showing the numbers and as everything generally as well... demonstration of a expansive knowledge... have a great weekend 👍
Do you use the VB repair kit with the reaming tool in conjunction with the sonnax zip kit? The 6r80 is the first transmission I've torn down and rebuilt and I'm starting on the valve body this weekend, your videos have been a big help in this!
Excellent video sir. We’re there only 3 kits used? So far I have 6r80-vbr-wt, 6r80-g2 (my vehicle is a 2015), and the 6r80-clr-bypass to bypass the cooler valve. Which kit came with the bearings?
Bearings??? you mean the bushings? He's using the precision rebuild kit and getting the bushing as a bushing kit for the transmission that he's working on.
I hate to ask, but could you maybe try to get another 45RFE trans tear down? I’ve watched the vid you made 7 years prior, just wondering if we could get a better quality vid ( graphics wise )
Good vid. My lead frame gave me the "transmission range sensor intermittent", code. 125k on the tranny, this will be its 4th fluid and filter change since it rolled off the assembly line. I figured, if I'm changing the lead frame, might as well drop the transco 6r80 gen 2 shift kit in it and turn my thermal valve (green body with a spring attached) upside down for that cool ride mr. Bandit.
Hey I was wondering if you have a shop, or something where you rebuild transmissions? I need a rebuild on mine and your videos are so professional and in-depth!
He does have a shop. It was in Dearborn TX. Since the pandemic I have no idea if he's still running it or opened another one somewhere else. He did a few videos at someone else's shop (a family member if I remember right) but i have no idea if he's still their or not. His business e-mail can be found here: www.youtube.com/@AutomaticTransmission/about
It's mid January 2023 and those conducter plates are still out of stock at Ford and my suppliers.I have no choice but use an aftermarket part to correct the output speed sensor fault when hot.My Ford dealer says they have 500 6r80's needing a conductor plate and won't use aftermarket because they have been getting come-backs. Been a Trans rebuilder for 44 years and getting tired of keeping up with the latest units...will be happy when I retire..lots of relieved stress!
Hi Hiram, Do you recommend to invert the thermostatic valve with the ones with the spring? So valve first then the spring which will press on the valve body. Is my understanding correct? I would like to do that next time I replace the transmission oil and pull down my valve body. Thanks for you video!
Hey mate i have got ford ranger 3.2 auto trans 6R80 , everytime i downshift from gear 5to 4 gives me a jerk other gears shift and downshift nicely what do you reckon the issue might be? Valve body or the solenoids? Car has done 304k kms
Hey Hiram, there is opel antara with automatic transmission aisin Aw55-51sn the issue is there is a vibration only when you pass the 2 nd gear, and i noticed same issue on many vehicles equiped with aisin trans AW55-51SN Can you please help to identify the cause and solution to resolve this issue, For your info this vibration is not caused by drive shaft or center bearing
Please advise I have 1-2 and 2-1 harsh shifts with 6r80, replaced fluid and filter, recalibrated PCM as advised by Ford, but the issue did not gone. The transmission is only 50k miles and the oil came out was pretty dark (but without any metal shavings). What should I look for? Valve body? Solenoids?
@@Emjae20 Unfortunately not. I ordered new complete Ford valvebody with solenoids and replaced it (it also comes with new leadframe), my ride became smoother, but I still have 1-2 and 2-1 harsh shifts. I just gave up on that. Almost 11k km passed, and it's at least not getting worse.
Hiram! Hello! I try to find some contact info from you but I don’t find any method to call or write to you . I have a Grand Cherokee 2010 4x4 and my transmission is broke. Where can I contact you?
as a master transmission rebuilder myself you started off real good and impressive. cause i myself do all the same things. Master/banner kit, if it has molded rubber pistons those too, bushing kit, washer kit, filter, transgo shift kit, reman pro-torque converter, electronics etc. myself i prefer borg-warner or exedes clutches. WHAT i wasn't impressed is you choice of overhaul kit! You put all this good time and effort into rebuilding this transmission or any transmission and you end up using an aftermarket overhaul kit which is junk! Originally that companies name was MGW, they changed it for a reason....... every job i do get an OEM kit Trans-Tec which IS OEM for aftermarket, if not in stock i WILL wait for it to come in from there main warehouse in Ohio from Transtar. Sorry to rain on your parade but the truth and facts must be told. Neal AKA Pwrshifter
Hi Hiram, need your attention on this issue. Please help. I watched your old video on rebuilding the bmxa tranny. I used to own a 01 civic lx auto( everything stock) and i used to go up to 170-180kmph on hwys, there was no issues. Then i upgraded to a 05 civic lx auto( stock engine, tranny, suspension with 130,000 original km) and it just stop accelerating at 140kmph. I m never able to take it above 140kmph. I checked everythig inside the engine bay, replaced a lot of solenoids, gaskets, filters, fluids etc but i still have this max speed issue. I checked the speed-gear ratios online and found that, 1st gear 40kmph, 2nd gear 80kmph, 3rd gear 160kmph and 4th is the final drive. No CEL on dash. I believe there is something wrong with the tranny since it works fine till 3rd gear and not shifting into 4th. I remember the max i could do on the hwy was less than 150kmph and that might explains the 3rd gear. I took it to a honda dealership for diagnostic test, and even they said, the car hesitates on uphill and seems like not shifting from 3rd to 4th. Also if i accelerate hard, sometimes i get a burning rubber kinda smell into interior. Repairs i did. New spark plugs New shift solenoid (not the one underneath the linear solenoid, the one on top of the tranny, next to motor) Linear solenoid New cat converter Cleaned egr nd new gasket New idle air controller New air filter and intake New tranny oil and engine oil Cleaned throttle body Please help. Thanks
Have someone with an oscilloscope check your cam/crank correlation, I had a civic once that had a similar issue and it was one tooth off on the cam gear, the issue started after a timing belt replacement.
@@AutomaticTransmission thank you so much for the reply . I will try that and let you know. I replaced my transmission recently with a junkyard one with "not bad" milege, but i still have this "hesitation" problem. Also something else i hv noticed recently that my MAP sensor output voltage is "invalid". I got this bluetooth OBD reader connected which reads a lot of values like speed, O2 sensor voltage, MAF etc... and the MAP value was showing error. So my friend advised that i shud get a new MAP sensor because it might be faulty nd maybe throwing wrong values to ECU and messing up the combustion. Since throttle body, idle air controller nd MAP sensor looks like a single unit, i was thinking about replacing whole throttle body as well. Thanks again for the advise.
Kerosene-based lube is better than anything else I've found for cutting aluminum. Tap-magic-aluminum (kerosene plus some additives) is amazing, but even pure kerosene will do a better job than most cutting fluids formulated for steel. You won't get a built-up-edge of aluminum sticking to the reamer like you will with other lubes.
I explained that on the video, the snout color is different and you have to pay close attention to the band number etched on the solenoid. That's the solenoid flow rate and it's programed into the computer. If you mix up solenoid with a different band number you will create Shifting Issues.
Those needle bearings are a stupid idea anyway, at least on the input shaft. Can't speak much for the rest of them throughout the box. I just think they're an extra thing to have the potential to cause catastrophic damage rather than localised damage just by the sheer number of loose components alone. Had a 2016 Ranger with the 6R80 just this week where I found pieces of the input needle bearing in the chewed up TC. The weird thing is, the box that came out had a bushing, not an empty needle race like I was expecting. I can only deduce that the input shaft needle bearing migrated into the TC, caused a wobble or vibration I suppose because you know, no bearing - they've had the box swapped out for a second hand (later?) one which had a bushing thinking the box was the issue when it was the bearing remnants from the first box that set the clock ticking on the TC's demise.

seriously... thank you for the effort you put into showing the numbers and as everything generally as well... demonstration of a expansive knowledge... have a great weekend 👍
Thanks you so much! Was wondering where my fourth transfer tube was lol. Thanks dude - thumbs up!
Excellent information and video! Keep them coming.
Bill
Excellent video and information received. Thanks.
Hello Hiram from Australia ;) Always the master builder and great info thank you. Cheers.
Muy buen video Estaría de lujo que fuera en latino
Great vid , keep them coming, just wondering what model is that dewalt drill you use
Hey Hiram, I really enjoy watching and learning from your videos. Could you do some full rebuild videos on a 6r140 and allison transmissions
First solenoid you pulled out is a 4. You had it right a few times. They should make that easier to read. Thanks for the video!
I agree, the new ones are also difficult to read.
When you replace them keep them in order according the part numbers and replace them one by one.
Do you use the VB repair kit with the reaming tool in conjunction with the sonnax zip kit? The 6r80 is the first transmission I've torn down and rebuilt and I'm starting on the valve body this weekend, your videos have been a big help in this!
I’m interested in studying automatic transmission repair technician. I wanted to see why you would recommend me to go major in this field.
nice to see your videos again
Thanks
Will these kits work on a 2012 f150
I would of like to seen you build this transmission has a hole one.
Do you recommend anyone in Los Angeles area?
What would cause a 2nd to 3rd flair shift 4l60e. Its a reman. From gm. Thanks

Yes. I do exactly that on all my rebuilds also on the ones I replace the lead frame (conductor plate).
May I asked where is the location of TCC solenoid of the one you are working?
Great informational video
Hi where does the check valve ball go in? So no spring needed, I been on the floor for 2 hrs looking for a spring
great job

Is there anyway possible I can fly you in for a weekend and you rebuild my transmission. I'm in Va. Let me know.
I thought the ATF is first sent from oil pump to torque converter and then sent to radiator to cool ATF.

If you change the Solenoid, how to know the difference, they are all the same, only change one that is of a different color
I explained that on the video, the snout color is different and you have to pay close attention to the band number etched on the solenoid. That's the solenoid flow rate and it's programed into the computer. If you mix up solenoid with a different band number you will create Shifting Issues.
Where's you shop, How would one get in contact with you?
Near Houston
How can I get a hold of you? I have a trans I would like you to rebuild.
