Just tested this in real world driving. Regardless of if the temperature readings are accurate I found the shift points lowered with the longer temp sensor in place pointing to a restriction in the trans.

I must admit, i was somewhat intimated when it came to the 700R4 transmission, the horror stories i've heard and read about because of the misadjustment of the TV cable, they werent very nice. Three years ago, i bought a running '79 2dr malibu that alread had a 700R4('91) installed, a ZZ4 crate engine and 3.73posi out back. Keep in mind that i drove the car for 30miles to bring it home, and it ran great, i decided to change the fluids all around as soon as i got it, when it came to the transmission, i pulled the pan, installed a brand new GM tv cable, and installed the holley 700r4 throttle/tv cable geometry brackets on the holley 770sa carb. I worked alone, so i used a remote camera to see what i was doing in real time, doing exactly what you were showing in this video, transmission side, having zero experience or any help, spending hours online reading through forums and watching YT videos on how to adjust the cable. Drawing on my own conclusions with a greater understanding and using common sense, i made sure to start off with setting the cable on the tight side to keep the pressure high. It shifted harshly for a bit, as i drove the car lightly around the neighborhood, i just kept adjusting the cable till it felt just right and 4th gear(OD) would hit exactly at 45mph while on the access/feeder road, and im happy to report, that same transmission is still going strong 3yrs later.

If the front pump cover needs to be machined ,is there a maximum you can remove of the aluminum ? To get my surface flat again, i had remove ~ 0.7mm

Where did you order your clutch packs from i seen you went with the borg warner for the 3-4 what about the other clutch pack you put in before

So my issue is there isn't any other place to put pin on my throttle body. So the fulcrum is too great, and it bottoms out the TV cable before it gets to the end. The only thing I could think of was using some springs so the cable would begin pulling when I give it fuel, and the more it pulls the harder it pulls against the spring. Eventually it is at full pull at the end of the stroke.

Thanks for the tip. I still think it is a very poor design. There is no room to put a screw driver in that slot when the trans is installed in my truck.

What should I be looking for on a 2004 4l60e that when tcc is commanded, instead of rpm drop, it rises like it downshifted? It seems like a fluid leak somewhere in the tcc process. All gears work fine, shifts fine too. Thanks.

Kool channel

I figured you guys would leave the 3-4 accumulator bore empty and plug it.

Thanks Ryan and thanks for the transmission.

Thumbs up video, I hope mine isn't burnt up, fixing to drop the pan!!!! THANK YOU!!

I really enjoyed this! Thank you!! Even though I have assembled enough of these now to no longer need the assembly manual I still enjoy watching someone else do it! I have been a professional tech for more than 30 years and have recently started doing pretty much only transmission work. The work has renewed my enjoyment for the industry and as always there is never a time when I’m not learning something new.

I have a 4l60e behind a 5.7 vortec. Transmission works flawless. Until it reaches about 200 degrees farinheight. Then its like a valve opens up and fluid starts pouring out of the top of the Transmission somewhere(possibly the vent tube) and the tranmission loses power. Let the tranny cool down till at least 180 and it stops leaking and power is back. I installed a deep pan and 2nd trans cooler thinking it was overheating. But will do this even in strong winds with no load. Any ideas?

I’m glad I watched your video. I have a 4L65e that needs rebuilt. I was going to get a 70e but now I’ll spend that $$ and upgrade the 65.

If that location reads hot now I'm worried. Pulling down the highway in the summer the Cummins is reading 140f max...

should use a better spokesman .,. if he has to resort to curse words , while speaking on the subject, he does not have the vocabulary that is required

i have 2008 chevy crewcab 1500 /as ullin a trailer after 40 mileser hour 4th @ 3rd are lost after wards , trans will still drive o under 40 mph at high rpm is it possible servo check 3&4 ball could be leaking? thank ya fur all ur traning

100% worth a like and sub. just like every other comment. best and most informative on YT. hands down.

Turbo 4.8 Silverado 2001 single cab 1500 with stage 2 texas speed cam and have a turbo I want to throw in my truck what 4l60e stage can hold the power and not blow up I’m a little worried about 4l60e not being able to heard lots about them being bad probably be pushing around 500-600

What if mine has a big gap is it safe to put 4 Flat Washer on each with longer bolts?

Just curious Do u guys offer any military discount

I wish I could afford to rebuild my 200 😔

Best video

is there any benifit of using a 4L60E input drum and installing a 700R4 input shaft?

did I see 2 sun gear bushings installed? Stock width I assume?

so ORM i.put shafts are recommended?

ive learned lots and enjoyed your videos. thanks for sharing your knowledge. so if you are ready for something new. perhaps you can help with the 2ML70. ill send pics and video if u need any😊

I want you guys to build mt 4L60E for HD towing

Very helpful Thank u for ur video 😊

Watching this video really scared me. Recently purchased a '65 Buick Skylark, 300 V-8. Don't know any of its history. The car originally came with the Turbine 300 2 speed auto; the previous owner replaced it with a 700R. I thought that was a good upgrade. Maybe not? When I first drove this car, it shifted like it had a real powerful shift kit installed with real hard shifts. Sort of liked it. Had to replace the carb and after the install, it now shifts like a normal car. Goes smoothly through all of the gears and into overdrive without an issue. I know I must have altered the TV cable and settings or something. Would that have caused the change? Drove it around for about 25 miles. I never do a WOT. It seems O.K. . Am I O.K.? By the way, have a '66 Buick Electra with the Turbo 400 w/switch pitch; I love it and when you put it in Drive, it's there with a positive, instant, commanding, "You are in Gear" right now, feeling. Love it. I think it was the best automatic ever! Thanks for the video. Any suggestions? JIM

How much to rebuild this to hold 4-500hp? Or Would it be best to replace it with a 4l60?

WOW!!!! I honestly dont feel as intimidated as Im sure I should. This was the best how to video ive ever seen!

Great video! I'm just now bolting my converter to flex plate . 454 - 4l60e. I have about 3/16 spacing, maybe 7/32. So I guess I'll need a thin washer between them and then tighten to specs to achieve back space on converter to trans. Have I got that correct?

Would have been so much better video without that nasty language

Can’t wait to buy a stronger and powerful 4l60e for my 99 Tahoe 2wd

The way your excited say volumes on how much you do love what you do . That is very cool to see nowdays..great stuff..

Thanks brother..I've seen where you say same trans but diff bell housings will differ as well..i swapped bell housing and I now have to shin converter..lobe the vids keep em coming..

You brought up ball peen hammers. I noticed that transmission builders always seem to have claw hammers. There are probably trn different channels ive seen for oem from gm to ford from toyota to bmw. Is there a historical reason that transmission guys use claw hammers? Or just coincidence

Hello, I just watched your video and have a question. On the 1-2 accumulator, you recommended not to use the “red spring” from the hd2 kit because the 1-2 shift is way too hard. Currently, I am rebuilding my 4l60e with a HD2 kit from a company you didn’t really recommended. If I didn’t use the “red spring” from the kit, which replacement do you recommend? Thanks!

I am tuning for lockup with p59 pcm. Any tips are appreciated. Built 4L60E with circle d converter.

Is it possible for a my 4l80 shift solenoids to cause it to shudder/vibrate (feel like rumble strips) on the 1-2 shift and then prematurely shift to 3rd then 4th and back to 3rd right away. I replaced my torque converter hoping that was the issue and it was not. As far as i know the transmission has 240k on it and has only had fluid and filter changes done. I should add it shudders more as the transmission gets warmer.

This is where glowshift recommends installing the temp sensor in there instructions

Got the input and rev drum in. BUT, its not making the typical squealing noise the trans normally makes like shown in the video..

Ryan you're the man💪🇺🇸 I can't wait to purchase your transmission for my 1965C10!!!!!!

what would cause a torque convertor to vibrate?

Your website shows different prices than whats advertised here. Have you raised your prices over the last year?

Ryan,I'm interested in that deep pan,an filter kit. I bought the L3,back in 21. Todd Owens from TN

Dude your are a badass your video has helped me so much much appreciated brother

I benn running 3800 on the street turbo 350 stock no problem

I will never look at a transmission the same again .i drained the transfer case oil from the pajero it looked to have fine metalic in oil .would that be normality for 450 000 km without properly serviced ?
