- This Is What Happened When I FLUSHED MY TRANSMISSION FLUID!!
In this video I'm going to answer one of the most asked questions I received after I flushed my transmission fluid on my 24 year old 1995 GMC Suburban k1500 with the 4L60E; "how's it shifting now?"
This is how my tranny is shifting after the full fluid flush.
This is why I chose to flush my transmission fluid.

ATF fluid I used: amzn.to/2HjSWuW
The GMT-400 GMC Suburban is the same platform as the Tahoe, Yukon, Sierra and Silverado.

Fluids are the life blood of a vehicle - great to keep older vehicles running for years to come. Best wishes from the UK.
I have always flushed or drained/refilled my transmissions with no issues. On my Olds I change out the filter every 2 years. And I have found bolts in the pan from the valve body! So if you can drop the transmission pan re- torqe the valve body bolts. Great advise.
THAT'S WHEN GM WAS STILL MAKING SOLID SUBURBANS👍
When my 97 suburban had 140k I put two bottles of seafoam in the trans and drove it for about 4k miles until it started slipping. Changed the filter and flushed the fluid and it feels like a bran new transmission...the sea foam breaks up all the gummed up trans fluid and cleans the clutch packs and passages. It's at 190k now and still shifts like a bran new trans.
I’ve never flush none of my vehicles transmissions that I own. I just change the filter and fluid and I put in over 570,000.miles on both of my 88 Ford Ranger. Even if you didn’t flush your transmission you’ll still be good. After changing the fluid it did make a difference on the shifting and made the shifting shift smother .
My '95 Suburban C1500 had over 330,000 miles on it when I bought it, so I was pretty hesitant to change it since it did not look too good. Since it seemed to shift very well, I had the idea of replacing fluid. Ever 500-1000 miles I have been pumping a quart out through the dipstick hole and replacing it with new fluid, and it seems to be shifting better and better. So when the color on the dip stick starts to look red again, I will do a full change.
The fluid was flushed, and his transmission is great.
Well an automatic does have a fluid clutch so it's bound to only get better. New fluid has more compressibility, fluid dynamics.
That's not a flush, it's a standard service. Flushing requires a flush machine connected to the cooler lines. Flush it with a flushing machine and it won't fair out so well.
Never thought of checking the valve body bolts. Got fluid change in 500 miles , think ill check them out. Judging by the freeway and background, howdy neighbor. Not saying were cuz of privacy... but you know. Thanks for another great vid.
The thinking on this is if it's bad after the fluid change, the transmission is bad. Fluid doesn't have anything to do with it, but it's maintenance for sure does 💯
It is one of the cheapest things you can do to improve the driving of any vehicle.
Thanks Jimmy, enjoy watching your journey of working on your K1500. I'm not a mechanic just a 95' owner, your a great help friend
I changed my fluid to amsoil at 250k in an Astro.. same 460le.... Total improvement... No issues
Tightening the valve body bolts probably helped more than the new fluid and filter. Personally, I like a firm shift, "buttery smooth" to me says slippage which equals heat. Heat is what kills automatics. If it was my truck and didn't have any trans problems before, I'd have added a "shift improver kit" while I had it open.
give it some beans.......lol, someones been watching sarah n tuned
I flushed the fluid in my 2004 Trailblazer at 165,000 miles. I was not the original owner, but the fluid was a very light pink/a touch of light brown mixture, so I had assumed it had been changed at least once before. Same 4L60E as yours. Hell, it ran like a champ after the flush.
Thumbs up for the hottie - better than clickbait
Mr. J nice video
I flushed my cvt transmission at around 120 000 miles and it was never done before it drives better now since it was flushed. It is malarkey to say it will wreck the transmission. Make sure you flush it no matter the miles. It drives super smooth I agree 100 percent!!
