A good tip if you’re doing it alone and don’t have someone to help pry the exhaust. Use a ratchet strap on the exhaust after the y on the exhaust and ratchet it down around the cross member below . Works perfect every time and save your energy for better things
I sure hope this works. VERY FRUSTRATED. What an after thought by the manufacturer. I tried loosening the trans. mount and raising the rear of the trans. I still couldn't get the pan out. I didnt want to break bolts on the exhaust, so I had to put it back together and look for another video. Now I will go back and try this. Sounds good the ratchet strap. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
I had good luck with the ratchet strap...gotta use the big one though. I also moved the gasket down (toward the engine) to give another bit of room. Forget the pick for the filter gasket. I used a screw driver to push the edge away, then vice grips to grab, another pair to hold onto said vice grips and a hammer to make a poor man's slide hammer 😂 I also weigh (or measure) the fluid that comes out to logic check how much goes in. If you've never checked trans fluid level, look it up. Good video, got me 90% there.👌
@@joshbrown5756 honestly I’ve never changed the filter neck gasket in the trans if it goes in nice and snug I’d say there’s nothing to worry about. But it’s totally optional. Now if it’s loose going back in definitely I would replace it
ONE OF THE BEST MADE VIDEO'S THAT I HAVE SEEN, AND THE INSTRUCTION WAS SO COMPLETE, THAT I AM GOING TO COMPLETE THE FLUID AND FILTER CHANGE MYSELF, ON MY 2007 GMC YUKON.
I have also subscribed to your site, and put it on my Facebook page for my family and friends to use; again thank you for the time you spent making this great video.
U are the real mvp I just saved about 400$ bucks dealer quote and I put some amsoil ATF in there with oem gasket and oem filter thanks for the vid man!
I'm going to do this on my 08 Silverado next week when the weather cooperates. It's got 189k miles on it, but the fluid color doesn't look bad. Plan on using a cheap HF pump to get most of the fluid out. Going to make a slide hammer for the filter seal. 12" gal. nipple, a tee on the bottom, and a 3/4 coupling over the pipe. Screw it in and go. Also putting a pan with a drain back on it.
Great tutorial here. I learned to change my motor mount from a CZcams video...and if I can do that, I can definitely do this trans fluid change. Thanks for this video!
Johan Seminario you ever get around to replacing that engine mount? I watched a video on CZcams and was kinda discouraged. Wasn’t as simple as I hoped lol
Thanks for detailing the prybar in order to remove the pan. So many other people actually jack the transmission up 3/4". I like your way better. I'd love ❤️ to have a Lift instead of Jack stands.
Did my 08 Silverado today. Guess I got lucky, didn't have to remove anything. Pumped the fluid out first, took out the bolts and shoved the pan over to the passenger side a little and angled the driver's side down a little and it came right out. Didn't have any RTV to hold the gasket on, so I used an 8" zip tie on each side to hold it in place until I could get some bolts in it.
GM engineers must be a hoot. Let's put the exhaust under the transmission so they have to remove it to get to the pan. Replacing a headlight. Remove fender wheel well cover, loosen bolt, loosen bolts on front frame, try to remove a square peg from a round hole. Spare tire is a whole other story. The CZcams experts tell you 5 different ways to lower the spare tire and only 1 does it the way the owners manual says to do it. If you ever meet someone who is a GM engineer, slap him for me.
I ended up drilling and tapping a hole in my pan with a low profile drain valve. Sits lower than the magnet and makes the drain process a lot easier. Made a nice weekend project!
How to Automotive Well I actually used this video to change my fluid back when this vid came out and thought there had to be an easier way. I also installed heat pads on the transmission and engine oil pans to help out on those below zero mornings. Keeps everything nice and not frozen :) So thank you for an awesome video.
Thank you so much my 07 suburban was saying transmission hot idke engine went park pop my hood checked my dip stick transmission fluid was dirty im like oooh that the problem i now know i have drain my transmission as well as chsnge my fikter i surely will be doing thst i wish i had the compact it would make life easy
After spending 12 hours attempting this myself, this video did me no justice. The hard parts of the job are skimmed over really quickly. I had to lift the transmission with a jack and ratchet strap the exhaust because it did NOT budge at all with a pry bar, when trying to remove the trans pan. The part where you have to remove the old seal out of the transmission with a pick lasted hours, compared to the video where it is only mentioned briefly. Then you used a 18mm deep well socket to install the new seal into the transmission, also skimmed over but I found it impossible to do the same without completely destroying the new seal because it's not even as solid as the deep well socket used to help get the seal back in...
@@joecozzo5476 I meant to come back and delete comment. I was frustrated and working in 10 degree weather. I finally got it by using straps and yanking the exhaust down enough to get the pan out. Sorry for trashing your video.
alphaomegaello not all of these transmissions use the same bolt size, have the linkage in the way and or the same seal size. Always take these videos with a grain of salt because everything can be similar yet different. Also, if your pry bar didn’t work to move the exhaust, then your pry bar wasn’t big enough of of thick enough metal. I had to use the biggest snap on pry bar that I had and jack the end of it up to get exhaust to move but it was easy.
Really appreciate it, thanks for sharing. I got a question regarding the frequency of changing the transmission fluid in terms of time not milage. I got a 2011, 1500 Seira pick up truck. The last time I changed the fluid was on 2015 and since then I only drove it 31k Mile. The transmission looks ok, level is also ok. Do you recommend changing the fluid?
Ametures probably shouldn't use an impact on trans pan bolts at least break em lose before you do might damage the bolts depending on how rusty everything is. T bar or speed wrench is a good tool for those bolts too.
Excellent video and nicely done. I think a blind seal puller with a slide hammer would be less dangerous to the walls of the transmission. What about the remaining fluid in the torque converter?
lkazanov I try to make the videos with the tools that most people Will own. I agree with you the slide hammer would be a better tool. As far as the rest of the Fluid goes this is a basic service not a complete flush.
I just did this with my 6l80. Just do exactly as what this guy did. Dont go with a "full flush". That may cause some problems later on. I'm at 180k on mine. If you see a whole lot of metal flakes in the fluid and the transmission shifts funny, then your torque converter may be on it's last leg. It'll also destroy your transmission. The torque converter is the weak point in the 6l80. Get an updated or 6l90 torque converter.
Great tutorial. Very nice description with video. Thanks for sharing. Not sure if you can do this in a home garage but still nice to see how it is done.
@@samuelw.3992 Why what happened? I would imagine have a lift would help tremendously! I saw a streak of transmission fluid on incline driveway on my 2008 Tahoe....ugggghhhh 🤦♀️💅💃...
@@atticdust6581 @Attic Dust lol it was just a pain in the butt. the bolts were rusted for that throttle cable bracket. i did manage to take one out. then i forced out of the way. then i took a 4' piece of 2x4 and a ratchet strap and rigged that up to ratchet the exhaust down an i barely got the pan out. i had force it yet. and of course reinstalling the pan was just as fun.. lets just say i learned a few things... lmao
I have this same model truck and my transmission won't go into drive. It reverse fine, no squealing or nothing. It just won't move when I press the accelerator. Any suggestions on what's causing this?
The video was very helpful. The only bummer on service was the fact that when the pan did slide out it bumped a solenoid. Now after putting it together I have a P0976 code...shift solenoid b circuit low in ECM memory. Unless there is a TCM plug on the outside that got jostled, it seems like I'm going to have to open it up again and make sure the offending sole oil is plugged in. Hopefully thats a it is and thanks to the video I'll be done faster this time.
Doing it on jack stands , it’s hard af I couldn’t get enough clearance with someone helping me pry the exhaust down if u r not doing it in a car lift it’s complicated
I must have a unicorn or I just didn’t have a pry bar or anything similar so I say there for 10 mins wiggling the pan around after I pulled the gasket around it. Gasket not in between pan and tranny and a 45 ish degree angle and the pan slide right out. Have a video of me pulling the pan on and off a few times just to show it works.
You don’t have to use sealant/RTV on these, hence an actual gasket. I wouldn’t use RTV on a transmission gasket unless you absolutely have to! You’ll be sorry if any of it at any point any of that sealant gets into the transmission.
I would just remove the return line on the top of the radiator and do as you would to flush the trans and just run the fluid out of the pan and no mess..
How would I know which transmission i have on my truck? I have a 2007 Tahoe LT 4x4 with the 5.3. I'm pretty sure it's a 6 speed. I need to order the filter on Amazon and want to make sure I have the right part come in.
Some mechanic's totally against flushing the ATF system coz it might ruin the transmission system. They suggest only to drain the ATF pan clean it and replace the ATF filter then put everything bk together and fill the same drained amount then drive the car few milies then drain oil pan again and refill repeat prosess till ATF is clear and red. Through ur experience wot do u think?
hasan al zaabi, the aforementioned process is expensive, time consuming and too much work. Go to CZcams, check out: Cadillac Escalade transmission fluid(I prefer Amsoil signature series, 100% synthetic ATF) change, part 2 of 3, Matt Epps, to save money and achieve an efficient complete transmission fluid change, OEM filter change, pan with magnet cleansing and lubricated OEM gasket change. It worked for me. If you own a Cadillac, go to a Chevy dealer in lieu of Cadillac dealer to save even more capital. Give them the applicable vehicle's VIN# in order to receive the correct OEM parts. Good luck, be patient, because it could be a messy procedure if you rush.
The easiest way is to look for the tag that’s on the transmission somewhere usually by the back tail piece of it. Also you may be able to look it up through the vim number
@@HowtoAutomotive thank you I really appreciate it, earlier today I was having problems where I was trying to reverse over a little hump in my drive way. The car then kinda clunked then while still in reverse it was like I was just reviving the engine going no where.
