2007 Silverado 4L60E Transmission Oil Pump Rebuild (Ep.4)

[@jameshall4385]

you are a brave man for tearing into those evil mystery puzzles.

[@koltinn]

"flying out and landing in norway" So that's why I got hit by a spring in my head yesterday!

[@coolshookieboy91]

So that's what i saw yesterday. 🤔

[@SC457A]

The pictures of veins was pretty funny. I had to go back and re-watch it since I missed a few.

[@FuzzyDiceProjects]

Most of the dumb jokes in these videos stem from hearing a word a hundred times when editing, and after after realizing how many times I said "vane" I couldn't help myself.

[@SC457A]

I kept waiting to see seals, slides

[@FuzzyDiceProjects]

There is a seal in one of these videos (maybe the next one? I don't even know at this point) but I also tried not to go too overboard because I'm sure it's just annoying to some people

[@SC457A]

I recall seeing it now. Good stuff. Trans overhauls are kinda fun, but lots of little details can turn it into a big pile of scrape metal also.

[@gregpallett1839]

SC457A i loved it too. Very clever

[@mh2378g]

I worked for GM dealerships rebuilding these units (and others, like it's earlier variant the 700r4) from '87 to 2007. I would estimate I've worked on thousands of them. I could probably show you a few tricks, but only because of the sheer volume of problems and repairs I've been involved in (including self-induced problems!). You are a very smart guy, extremely resourceful, and your videos are very interesting and entertaining, thanks so much!

[@hw5091]

I had a question for you. Mine is having delayed engagement when warmed up in first gear. When at a stop or shifting into first, it will go into an almost neutral state, and then w a slight tap on the gas, engage into first and drive like normal. My suspicion is the pumps booster valve (I have the model where I can't get to the boost without removing the transmission and pump, turbine speed sensor in the way on an '08). Does this sound like the problem possibly? Chances the pump cover is bad as well? Maybe because the booster has bored the hole out over time (175k, was rebuilt 50k ago by previous owners local trans shop). I'm going to do a line pressure test tomorrow, obvious see how that goes.

[@HAunderscoreVE]

Ah, another part of the '''Lego from the depths of hell that is imagination of a GM engineer'' series. In all fairness, i love this series. From these few videos, i learnt quite a bit about inner workings of automatic gearboxes - for example, i had no idea they use planetary gears. This channel is quickly becoming my favourite on YT, Great work as always!

[@Koshunae]

I'm a GM technician and let me tell you. 4L60e's are full of surprises. 4L80e's as well, but those don't have common failures like the 4L60's

[@bryanmartinez6600]

@@Koshunae I'm plan on doing a 4L60E rebuild myself bought a cheap rebuilt but was worse than the core I gave in doesn't move at all I'm doing all the good stuff 4l79 drum billet pump raybestos red clutch packs with kolene coated steels all new electronics and valves, valve body upgrades deep cast pan, tci beast sun shell, new planetary sets and whatever else I can do not really for big hp it's a stock 4.8 but it's a flatbed 1500 work truck so I want a solid transmission for heavy hauling when I need to And also because I want to learn the transmission

[@ThatGuy_Hunter]

I know that you can’t rush quality, and these videos probably take a fair amount of time to make and edit. But the faster they come the better. This is my favorite DIY channel anywhere.

[@FuzzyDiceProjects]

I'm working hard trying to get this series edited, but it does take a LOT of time to put these together. Should be able to stick to one a week for the next few weeks, but if I somehow get ahead of schedule I will try to upload them as I go.

[@ThatGuy_Hunter]

Fuzzy Dice Projects your hard work is appreciated, keep on keepin’ on!

[@RoosterSpur]

Let them fly! The sooner the better!

[@MustafaMTF]

Man you're tearing that thing apart like you're the one who designed it. Hats off to you sir.

[@prancstaman]

When you put the boost valve and spring in with a balancing act of pushing the valve and clip in place. Yah, if that was me, my glove would have gotten caught in the snap ring and tore open. LOL Good job.

[@Eon70799]

I love this channel, keep up the great videos man

[@travislazenby6797]

Love the thorough narration.

[@DannyRobertsMetalCovers]

Ok. Just watching along and had to pause after all the different veins… that was unexpectedly funny! Lol

[@JacobVaughan]

Great to see the info about the front stator support bushing. I got confused as the one in my kit was thicker and I thought I had the wrong one. You confirmed for me it's actually correct and fatter by design. Thanks!

[@justincrasi4638]

This particular pump rebuild video is the best I’ve seen on KZbin. Very thorough and appreciate the effort!

[@Roscotech]

I can’t really fault you for using the zip ties to resize the Teflon seals as that is what I used on my first rebuild and I have little need to troll others. However you need to been carful as the zip ties (especially on the input drum) can cause a small high spot on the ring that can actually end up cutting a wear pattern inside the stator which eventually allows an oil/pressure leak. This is stated for information only. Thanks for making your video!

[@mrhappy8966]

sooo relaxing to me ive missed this so much since the s10 build

[@ethancrisp3491]

I hadn't watched your channel for awhile and finally came back and I have so many videos to catch up on. It feels weird to binge transmission rebuilds but I'm doing it

[@roscocsa]

It’s amazing that people came up with these contraptions.

[@honestguy7764]

You could place the bearings in the freezer for several hours before putting them on the piece. Because of that it somewhat shrink and its easier to put in place

[@FuzzyDiceProjects]

True, I have done that with some press-fit pieces but since bushings usually push in without much trouble I don't think I've ever tried that with them. Might make the install even easier, will have to keep that in mind for the future!

[@honestguy7764]

Fuzzy Dice Projects Very honored you answered me! been follower for quite a while now. Cheers from Madrid, Spain!

[@raedalyamani1889]

Please don't stop.Good job bro

[@dave1135]

Petroleum jelly can be used for assembly lube also, it's especially good for the Piston seals.

[@aaronhall7740]

I go through so much of that when assembling stuff for work! Keeps things in place well too!

[@ironman23gt]

Nice work. Keep it up! And thanks for blurring your suspect trash!

[@FuzzyDiceProjects]

Hey, you were the one looking in the trash bin to see the blur, but I'm glad I was able to protect your innocence for just a little longer.

[@arnulfob3454]

Sir my i say i learned more from your vidio then my teck school instructor ! Well done !

[@IanThatMetalBassist]

What a coincidence, I just spent the last few hours binging your videos

[@jakemedley7423]

Sounds like either the transfer case or rear differential is going more than the transmission especially whilst watching these videos. But a good rebuilt trans especially a 4l60e is a good thing for longevity lol

[@luisvelasquez1797]

Ok 👌this is the best way to go about this was the best way for me thanks for your time and help with the videos

[@simenskaar5843]

If another spring fly out and land in Norway. Let me know and I'll send it back

[@MercyStarLux]

Now I know why I find so many springs everywhere here in Norway😆...

[@iansyme3535]

Geez!! Now I know what is meant by "Automatic Transmission Specialist"

[@Gabriel-jp4um]

I want to buy a junkyard transmission just to try this... But I don't even have a car.

[@Anthony_Pell]

Another fabulous video.

[@PiperFishing]

mysterious blurred out package in the trash can is mysterious.

[@QASOOMR]

Thanks so much, I really enjoyed your video. However, i tried to rebuild my uncle transmission but unfortunately after rebuild i faced a shift issues and hate is between 90-100C°

[@austins.5542]

here is a trick with those teflon rings for install boil them in hot water before install then after you put them on put the part in the freezer to allow the seals to shrink around the housing. this trick works great on hydraulic cylinder rebuilds.

[@FuzzyDiceProjects]

I tried the hot water trick one in the past, but didn't see significant gains from that process. Haven't tried sticking them in the freezer after installing them though!

[@markm.9590]

I'm rebuilding a 4l60e pump, this after decades of Engine rebuilding I've never attempted a Transmission rebuild. That said, dozens of bearing replacements in engines & wheels, I've never seen or used myself, any type of Thread lock or similar on Bearings. I've never had a Bearing break loose & spin. That's why Bearings are "Pressed" in. Weather by hand tool or Press. But Good video. Not criticism just I've never done thread lock for bearings.

[@RickSolid1]

I heard “I’m gonna cut it down with a Mitre to jerry rig a shim jam strap hinge quarter round soffit 2x6 dowel cherry picker flim flam”, or something like that...

[@FuzzyDiceProjects]

I should hire you to write closed captions for this whole series!

[@normiukkeli3739]

At 9:58 why is the green packaging in the garbage bin blurred out?

[@libertyforamericanow]

How much wear is acceptable on the pump cover? All the veins and body look great.

[@paulklein4359]

I love your videos! Subscribed

[@bborkzilla]

All bad springs go to Norway.

[@KyrreStalsberg]

Its all we can afford with our crazy car-prices. I think we have the oldest and most expensive car-park in the world :\

[@RedWhiteAndBlueVideo]

Your videos are great. You are very knowledgeable. I do have one question on the use of the Red Threadlocker. I know that you can use a torch if you ever have to remove the bushings, although loctite does have a green threadlocker for bearings and races, which might make disassembly a little easier, if the transmission is ever rebuilt again. What brand torque wrench are you using?

[@FuzzyDiceProjects]

High strength threadlocker will only really work the way it is designed to when used on threads, it helps hold a bushing in place but is actually less strong than a green retaining compound in that application. Next episode we actually have to knock a bushing back out when things end up not fitting quite right, it isn't terribly difficult. The small torque wrenches (1/4", 3/8") are just Harbor Freight specials. Their 1/4" wrenches are actually pretty good, especially when having an exact torque number is less important than just having even torque. I have had issues with several of the 3/8" wrenches though so I wouldn't recommend them. The Amazon brand Tekton wrenches I have used (and I have a 250 ft/lbs model from them) have all been quite nice for the price.

[@justincrasi4638]

Perhaps the loctite helps slide the bushing in, but considering how much force is required to press them in, I question its actual locking function. I could see using them in an engine, but transmission aren’t combustion systems. Maybe loctite is an industry standard?

[@flyingturtle3384]

Why would a scratch or gouge be of concern on that first pump bushing that was installed? I just gouged a bit of Teflon from mine by mistake and don’t want to pull the entire pump.

[@MD-cd7em]

GREAT VIDEO...

[@ejonn65]

Can someone tell me that if the filter at 3:18 is plugged, will that cause a fluid starve issue? My trans works when you first start, but then after a short time, like a minute, it growls like a low steering pump, and loses all gears. Turn it off for a minute and it works for a minute again.

[@rileyverellen0429]

instead of hammering the bushings in use a drill press or something to exert force easily to to bushing or valve its a a quick tip i use

[@splash5974]

How complete is the rebuild kit you purchased? I also have an 07 that possibly needs a rebuild. Cant wait for the rest of this series. Im getting anxious! Lol Good job with it.

[@FuzzyDiceProjects]

Pretty darn complete. It would be nice to have spare teflon seals on hand though, and most people replace the plastic accumulator pistons with aluminum ones, but those are not included. Really isn't anything off the top of my head that is missing from a "master" kit like that, though.

[@splash5974]

@@FuzzyDiceProjects Nice Good to know! How is the quality of the clutches and band? Im confused on what kit to purchase for myself...and have been thinking of the wider band aswell

[@splash5974]

@@FuzzyDiceProjects Do you have a direct link to the kit you used?

[@FuzzyDiceProjects]

For the exact one I used, search "4L60E Transmisson Heavy Duty HEG Master Kit With 3-4 PowerPack Stage 4 2004-UP" on eBay. Honestly, you'd probably be better off with fewer clutches and thicker steels in the 3-4 pack for heat reasons, but I'm sure using the whole kit will be fine. Some people will swear against ALTO in general, some against ALTO Red Eagle bands, but I have seen at least least some complaining about every brand/material out there. Bands are cheap enough that getting a wide one and just putting the Red Eagle in the kit on the shelf wouldn't be a big deal. For a drag car, a street rod with a shift kit, or an HD truck a different clutch material and specialty bearings might be worth it but I think these basic parts will get the job done in an average application just fine.

[@splash5974]

@@FuzzyDiceProjects Ok, thank you very much! Il have a look

[@MojoWitwicky]

You don't need loctite on a seal like that, the red outer coating IS a sealing compound.

[@MojoWitwicky]

The 60's don't have a problem blowing out the seal. That was the early 700's before they added the lip to the pump to keep the bushing from spinning and pushing the seal forwards

[@robpaul7900]

I thought the small stator bushing is installed below flush down some your old one wasn't flush before you removed it I saw it as was mine? I'm working on this now I really need to know what to do here very confused on this bushing any help?

[@kevinb158]

Yo I know this is a older video but a thought come to mind with the Teflon rings you are supposed to have a stretcher and shrinker when you put them on but I wonder if a cheap piston ring compressor tool would work to shrink them back to size I've been in 3 4L 60e transmissions and bomb the last one do to Teflon rings and let just say I don't like the smell of ATF just a thought

[@Tater79bj]

Why didn't you want to use trans assembly grease, or Vaseline? It makes things so much easier.

[@FuzzyDiceProjects]

It is definitely useful for a couple of steps, like checkballs and the plastic pump thrust bearing, but I haven't really found it necessary for many of these steps. I know a lot of people use assembly grease extensively for rebuilds but I haven't had issues with not using it.

[@99resecup]

I have 09 chevy express van. The pump has a sensor on the outer edge of pump. Can that sensor be installed into 4l60e pump without. And can you tell me is I'm dealing with 4l60e or 4l65e

[@eideticex]

I thought I was being sloppy on the last 4T65E I rebuilt when my pants and shirt had so much ATF on them that I could have refilled a good chunk of the transmission with those alone. Now I know, your not doing it right until your swimming in the stuff.

[@rylandallas9907]

How often does it leak through the two pump halves?

[@jayden018]

I always use the torque converter to align the pump....

[@kingbubbles4509]

I wonder how many hours of r&d went into making one of these automatic transmissions

[@mkjones2373]

Thanks for the helpful info, but everyone I see put there vanes in they just fall right into place I try that on my 03 envoy 4.2l with all new 13 vane rotor, slide, plastic guide, and new vanes since the old rotor broke in 3 places. So when I assemble mine the vanes get tight and my last 4-5 vanes wont go in at all due to no space I tried spinning it, with the spring in/out, multiple positions and still can't get them all in what I'm I doing wrong?

[@Blesna6]

Not sure of the answer, but I'm seeing 4 possible GM kits for the 2003 Envoy 4.2l. Which one did you end up getting?

[@rockabichebel]

hello plz I have 4l60e on 6.0l gen 3 I have a transmission problem R n 1 working verry well 2 n 3 n 4 don't have a power on hight Rpm more than 2000 start to slip when I give a little throttle more than 2000 rpm starts to slip shifting down slow shifting a little by hand i have slow shifting between 1 n 2 , 2 n 3 , 4 with slipping when rpm start to more then 2000 I have rebuilt it and same problem you think torque convert ? thank you

[@lNetogamerl]

Aren’t Teflon seals supposed to be installed dry?

[@FuzzyDiceProjects]

To be honest, that is something I'm not too knowledgeable about. The ATRA rebuild manuals have you using assembly grease to install them, but some teflon seals are pretty specific that they are to be installed dry. Something about the outer layer of teflon sticking to the surfaces it is sealing against on the first startup and oil might interfere with that. I haven't had any issues, but I haven't run a transmission I have rebuilt for 100k+ miles and it probably isn't anything that would make a difference in the short-term. Might be something worth some further research.

[@lNetogamerl]

Fuzzy Dice Projects Just asked my teacher and he says that installing dry only applies for ones that are not fully internal like rear main seals on engines, so you did do everything correctly.

[@FuzzyDiceProjects]

Ah, that does make sense, thank you for the follow-up!

[@jamesflores9456]

Fuck... Don't use scotch brite... That has aluminum oxide in it that will fuck up the trans... It was a gm bulletin where they said no to use it for head gasket removal because the alum oxide would ruin bearings in "as little as 1000 miles" the engi

[@FuzzyDiceProjects]

Scotchbrite is a great tool for refinishing a surface and perfectly acceptable to use even inside of a transmission, as long as everything is cleaned very thoroughly. The issue with using it for head gasket cleaning is that it is quite often done with the short block still assembled, and it is difficult to keep dust from the pads from working its way into the bearings. If everything is apart and cleaned after the use of Scotchbrite, it is a good tool, even recommended in ATRA manuals.
