[@Christackleberry]

Great, informative video. I like your attention to safety and how you try to give as much info as possible. A couple things I found out the hard way: 1. If the old trans went out, you need to flush the oil cooler with brake cleaner and compressed air or it can fill your newly rebuilt transmission with junk. 2. Lube the back of the crank with grease before you stick the torque converter in there. This allows the converter to move forward and back as the flexplate flexes. 3. Put the exhaust above the crossmember but don’t attach it until you put the inside bolt on the driver’s side in the crossmember or the bolt will have to go in backwards from the rest. 4. If you installed a new converter too, when you bolt it to the flexplate, make sure there is less than 3/16” gap between them. If not, you will need washers to close the gap. 5. Depending on the year, the starter wires are too short to install until the starter is mounted. Your video on removing the hot glue connectors on the neutral safety switch saved me a huge headache! Keep up the great work!

[@dudewecanfixit]

That's great, thank you for the very thorough follow-up!

[@hw5091]

I'm about to undetake this process, what type of grease did you use on the TC to crank?

[@shane462]

Do you really trust flushing the lines will take care of your future problem? should you essentially replace lines, radiator,and trans-cooler?

[@dudewecanfixit]

Either trans lube or red wheel bearing grease

[@dudewecanfixit]

My transmission didn't have a catastrophic failure, so I'm fine with flushing the lines. If it did have a catastrophic failure, I would install an auxiliary cooler and bypass the trans cooler in the radiator. I have a video on the auxiliary cooler install.

Totally stripped out 😆. But I would like to thank you two on a job well done. Especially with the feeler gauges, tolerances, and the confidence to do this job. I would've been up shit creek if not for you 2. I had a dam check ball fall into the side of the transmission 😆 and I double checked to make sure the c clips on the pump valve were fully seated then it got away from me and into the transmission again 🤦 but shit, I didn't even mind digging it out lol.

[@dudewecanfixit]

First, turn the truck off and chock the wheels. Try disconnecting the shifter linkage cable and manually moving the linkage on the transmission forward into the park position and see if that keeps it from rolling. Also, the light could be the park neutral safety switch not adjusted correctly.

Just gonna have to shovel snow when I go to take it in and out lol. I’m just making sure I get a kit that has the pistons in it, cause I figure if it’s not that check ball in the housing it’s gotta be the pistons that caused the 3/4 to go bad. Originally I hoped it was just a solenoid so I dropped the pan twice trying to fix it but now when I drive it I can tell it hits 3rd but there’s just a lot of rpm before you get any sort of pull feel out of the pedal then it just drops back into 2 when it gets around 4k

[@dudewecanfixit]

Sounds like you have it figured out. Sounds like the frictions and steels are toast. Definitely replace the pistons and verify the check ball doesn't leak. Also look into reaming out and replacing the AFL valve in the valve body. You should also replace the TCC valve, these wear out and 3-4 apply fluid pressure can be reduced increasing slippage and burnout of clutches. Sonnax and transgo make kits for these repairs.

Great how to, enough to confidently go try this on my 03 Silverado with a buddy. Will check back in

[@dudewecanfixit]

Let me know how it goes!

[@BeAsTB207]

@@dudewecanfixit change of plans, doing it solo and in the driveway was going to start today but was nearly -20 with wind-chill. Starting it tomorrow will check back in afterwards 👍👍

[@dudewecanfixit]

Good luck, take your time and stay warm! It really helps to have someone for lowering the transmission to the ground, even if they are only there for 30 minutes

[@Nextwavegamez]

Any success?

[@gabrielferrufino3397]

I didn’t put the first flywheel/torque converter like you did and I only found 2 holes and now I don’t know what to do

[@dudewecanfixit]

Take it apart and rotate the flywheel to the next hole and try again. Do this until it all lines up

[@cldiazinc]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge 🙏, this is a high quality step by step video.

[@dudewecanfixit]

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it

[@briansviolins9376]

At what point are you supposed to shift it into neutral to install the drive shaft?

[@dudewecanfixit]

You can shift it into neutral whenever you want, just make sure to put it back in park before you remove the wheel chocks

[@CharlesForry]

The wife totally ruined / blew up the trans in my 2003 Tahoe 4x4. Going to get one from u pull u pay and follow your series - thanks for details

[@dudewecanfixit]

Good luck, you can do it!

[@dudewecanfixit]

Try to find a four-wheel-drive, or you may need to swap your tail housing with a 2wd model

[@budmanzoom4441]

Nice how to video but what about Torque Converter 'setback''? I've always set as close as possible to 0.125". Do you do the same or something different?

[@dudewecanfixit]

I'm not sure what you mean by "setback"?

[@budmanzoom4441]

@@dudewecanfixit I mean the distance the torque converter rides from the fully engaged position in the pump. Sometimes when its bolted down to the flex plate it will pull back out of the pump too far so I shim the torque converter-flex plate. If its too far into the pump, (under load) the flex plate can force it too far into the pump and cause premature pump failure. I usually like to see the torque converter 1/8" out from fully engaged.

[@dudewecanfixit]

That is very good information. I haven't taken a transmission out that had shims on the torque converter, so I have never put them back in either. No issues so far, but I will definitely keep that in mind on the next one!

[@budmanzoom4441]

@@dudewecanfixit It usually is a problem with rebuilt Torque Converts. When they weld them back together they are shorter and the TC doesn't fully engage the pump. They can also be welded together too long.

[@dudewecanfixit]

That's wild, you would think they would keep these within a certain tolerance

[@Mudhog72.]

Should the torque converter have any play or wobble after fully seating in the transmission ?

[@dudewecanfixit]

Side play should be very minimal. In and out play will be present.

[@Mudhog72.]

@@dudewecanfixit yeah...there is more in and out play than you would expect

[@barrymonroy7138]

Do fill up the Torque converter with A lil ATF????

[@otovar56]

hey guys, you have helped me do 2 transmissions swaps at home . i ran into a problem , the bottom 2 bell housing bolts have stripped threads. is there a way to fix ? thanks in advance

[@dudewecanfixit]

If it's the bolts, just go get new bolts. If it's inside the engine, you might be able to bore it out and put in over size threads or a helicoil

[@otovar56]

@@dudewecanfixit sounds good thank you

[@stelthcamo357]

How did you test the lockup on the torgue converter they say they will burnout quick if the lock up ain't working

[@dudewecanfixit]

Watch your RPMs and count your shift points. You should have four shift points. 1st to 2nd gear 2nd to 3rd gear 3rd to 4th gear Torque converter lockup (about a 200 rpm drop) once you are cruising.

[@donthegamer8975]

No you made this 3 years ago but. Can i put the cooler lines on the tranny with the nut on the line? And not in the tranny and push the line in?

[@dudewecanfixit]

If the nut is already on the line, wouldn't you have to screw it into the transmission?

[@darththomthom]

Did you fill the torque converter with fluid first? Also how did you get those top bolts on the bell housing in?

[@dudewecanfixit]

I added a half quart before I installed the torque converter. Get the other bolts snug first and then let the jack down a little too get more access to the top bolts

[@peterstain6767]

Is there a cover that goes over the inspection hole in the bellhousing where you where moving the torque converter with your finger? Or is the hole just open? Thanks

[@dudewecanfixit]

There probably should be a cover lol

[@waltercardenas7354]

Best video ever. Do you add oil in the torque converter before you install? I save over $2000 dollars just by looking at this video like 6 times. Thank you so much

[@dudewecanfixit]

Yes, I usually put a half quart of transmission fluid in the torque converter before install

[@haydenhouk4645]

Upper bell housing bolt torque specs? He didn’t say.

[@dudewecanfixit]

All the bell housing bolts have the same torque spec. I said the torque spec when I started torquing them down in the video

[@ricardoperez2527]

Simply Awesome, is this the same transmission for a 2005 yukon XL?

[@dudewecanfixit]

Yes

[@ricardoperez2527]

Thanks

[@bvnseven]

Major Question for my install: I broke my dipstick trying to remove it before. The old housing at the bottom will not come out! Is there any harm in removing the tranny pan to push the pieces out and then reassemble it? Is there a better way than that? I would very much appreciate any help any of you could give!!!

[@dudewecanfixit]

That sounds like a very reasonable plan to me. I don't see any issues with that

[@petefredin4676]

Dude this was a great video as I’m about to tackle mine. Thanks so helpful!

[@dudewecanfixit]

I'm glad we could help!

[@bludhoun9016]

What about if you’ve install the transmission and now the truck won’t start ? No power to the crank fuse 🙄

[@dudewecanfixit]

Double check battery and starter connections

[@dhonnoll78]

Ok so I have a 99 Silverado I followed your video for the rebuild and I've removed and done these before but apparently I didn't get the second bump in like I thought I did. I wrecked the pump drive when I put it together the truck let me either by sheer weight or a bit of force from bolts but whatever. Do you have/know or anyone on here know the torque converter setback for a 1999 Silverado 5.3? But yes very important step.

[@dudewecanfixit]

Unfortunately, I do not have those specs available. If you find out, please share them with us.

[@dhonnoll78]

As a general rule you should not be able to get your fingers behind the torque converter when fully seated. Also, when fully seated, if you put a level a 2x4 (not s Lowe's or Home Depot one but a streight one) or some streight edge tip to tip on the bell housing torque converter should be behind that When installing. Torque converter should NOT touch flexplate. If it touches before trans.iddion is fully seated take it back down and fully seat torque converter. Once trans is fully seated torque converter will still not quite touch flexplate but be very close there will be clearance. Take your time with this step to keep from wrecking a pump drive like k did kiddos. Because if your are like. Me I wrecked the pump drive used another doner rebuilt and knocked band off of its stud without knowing and had PRN1 and 3 no 2 and 4. Had to remove it AGAIN to put the band on.

[@dhonnoll78]

On the bright side I could probably remove a 2wd 4LSlippyE in about 40 min if I had a lift.

[@dudewecanfixit]

Fantastic info! Thanks for sharing
