This was probably the best step by step transmission removal video I have seen on KZbin. I worked as an engineer writing procedures to remove and replace components on the Space Shuttle Main Engine and this fellow could have written the remove and replace procedure for GM. Great job and excellent presentation - wish I'd had you working on the Shuttle with me.

[@dudewecanfixit]

I greatly appreciate the feedback! I definitely try to make the very best instructionals possible. When I see something that hasn't been covered well, I try to make a video the way that I would want to watch it.

[@heezydagreat5347]

I pulled a 4l80e out of a 2000 GMC Savanna last Saturday...this was a life saver. I appreciate you for taking your time and being thorough.

[@dudewecanfixit]

I'm glad you enjoyed the video!

[@amsolutions247llc3]

Incredible work EVERY TIME 😂 love it!

[@brittonmajor3118]

I never learned a lot about vehicles growing up so I obviously don’t know how to work on them. But watching these videos have really helped me. You guys fucking rule.

[@dudewecanfixit]

Thanks!

[@craigbucl7752]

Couldn’t have done it without you! Probably would’ve broke some thing without this video. Thanks.

[@dudewecanfixit]

We broke some things so you didn’t have to lol Happy we were able to help! Thank you for watching and supporting we appreciate it

[@dudewecanfixitshorts]

Beautiful work!

[@dalechalkey3729]

I love it that you took the time to put the socket sizes in the video! I simple screen capture grabs all the necessary details.

[@dudewecanfixit]

Glad you find it useful!

[@noteevanbro8054]

Excellent description of the process. Thanks for putting this together!

[@dudewecanfixit]

Thank you for the kind words! We appreciate the support 😁

[@OrlandoCRamos]

Thank you for making this video. My friend asked me to help him replace his flex plate and I’ve only done non electrical transmissions (th350). I really appreciate you showing all the electrical connectors and socket sizes.

[@dudewecanfixit]

I'm glad you enjoyed it and found it useful!

[@williamurvan1617]

[@jeremystrickland348]

Getting ready to pull mine out of an 02 Silverado. Glad I found this video thanks for putting this together. Watching this also make me thankful for how much easier this was on my 07 dodge manual transmission haha.

[@dudewecanfixit]

Yes, manual transmissions are very simple, but they are going extinct.

[@paulferrara9079]

Many thanks. Great video. Also thank you for keeping the music down low : )

[@Frisco_kingz]

Amazing video. Thanks.

[@noahkloeck5870]

Thank you for making this man. Video was a real help

[@dudewecanfixit]

Glad it helped! Thank you for supporting

[@_baby_yoda696]

I have already loosened the bolts "for demonstrational purpose" had me cracking up lol

[@dudewecanfixit]

I actually took the whole transmission out, cleaned it, and put it back in so that you could "see" the bolts!

[@tybrownsr.4466]

Awesome instructions!

[@dudewecanfixit]

It’s the way to do it

[@outyomind5150]

Thanks for the video man good job

[@dudewecanfixit]

[@tomricher9075]

Thanks !!! 10/10 very helpful :)

[@dudewecanfixit]

Thank you for the comment!

[@2ndMomentumGarage]

Appreciate the video. Very well done. I have a 6.5 suburban that has been sitting for a while (no reverse) needing a trans and I’ve been on the fence if I was going to pay someone or DIY it. Think I’m going to give it a shot myself now that I’ve seen this. About to start a mini resto on the 96 burb.

[@dudewecanfixit]

That's great! I own three 6.5 trucks, definitely love them and their quirks

[@Abcdefgholt]

Awesome video!!

[@dudewecanfixit]

Thank you!

[@harrygigas2854]

[@user-KrackerJack]

Thank you although I've done more then trans when I was much younger I'm not looking forward to doing this but thanks to your video it will take most all the guess work out of it 1993 GMC C3500 4 door

[@dudewecanfixit]

It's always a fun project, you can get it done

[@Large_Sarge]

Really great guide. Gonna pull mine out of my 93 GMC crew cab 6.5 soon for a rebuild. It keeps randomly losing overdrive. Thanks for this.

[@dudewecanfixit]

Thanks! I personally own three 6.5s, I like them lol. I'm planning on doing several more videos on 6.5 upgrades and also I will be doing a 4L80 teardown and rebuild

[@lindanadaud9698]

Thanks

[@gustavomelendez5514]

Thanks you👉☝brother

[@dudewecanfixit]

You're welcome!

[@josslelibre555]

Hi, very nice video! I like all the little details you mention. The devil is in the details they say ;) Can you tell me what year is the truck? and it's a 6.5L diesel correct? Thank you and keep up the great work!

[@dudewecanfixit]

It's a 1996 with a newer transmission. Yes, it is a 6.5 diesel. All my trucks are!

[@MrGusflyer]

thank you

[@dudewecanfixit]

You're welcome

[@Jimchevy406]

Should you mark the drives haft so it goes back in the same way.Great video by the way..

[@dudewecanfixit]

I don't mark the driveshaft unless I take the driveshaft apart. It is balanced as a unit. You can mark it if you like though. It won't hurt anything.

[@jjesusrramirez45]

You’re a pro buddy I’m doing the same thing on my 04 suburban and is a pain work on it 4 hrs and still on the truck 😅😅😅😅😅😅

[@dudewecanfixit]

lol, I know how you feel. Keep making progress!

[@jjesusrramirez45]

Is done just finished 2hrs ago problem solved 👍👏👏👏

[@samuelmcgill-rl3lb]

don't forget to mark your drive shaft before removal.

[@dudewecanfixit]

Never a bad idea.

[@jelliottnesss]

Where are you guys located do you actually do better work than the dealership, I want to replace the seals on my H2

[@dudewecanfixit]

We're in Louisiana, but we don't operate a shop for customers. I don't have the licenses or insurance for that, I only work on my own vehicles.

[@SyyrYT]

Mine has no clearance. No space to let the whole thing down, no space to slide the transfer case off. Can’t even force it out. Gonna have to adjust my torsion bars to move the rear crossmember

[@dudewecanfixit]

Yes, get the torsion spring compressor tool, relieve the spring tension and pull the cross member with torsion bars intact towards the rear of the vehicle. The torsion bars will fall out of the control arms, so be careful.

[@madisonhadley7906]

Will the process be similar for a 4x4 with a 454?

[@dudewecanfixit]

Yes. You will also have to remove the front drive shaft and transfer case.

[@masonnantz7610]

I have a 2001 GMC Jimmy that I need to remove the transmission where do I started

[@dudewecanfixit]

Watch the video, it’s step by step. The only difference is you have a front driveshaft and transfer case you need to remove before taking the transmission out

[@atikovi1]

That thing has to weigh 250 pounds. Had to cringe when I saw you put the jack under the pan without the uprights on each corner. So easy for the transmission to slide off.

[@dudewecanfixit]

That's a good point.

[@johnhogan3810]

What years does this work on?

[@dudewecanfixit]

I believe from 1992 - 2009

[@natee537]

Very helpful video but mine is in a 454 suburban so I get ass fucked by the exhaust being in the was of everything

[@dudewecanfixit]

That sucks, I do not like removing exhaust bolts!

[@tomfooljeans4224]

Ayo my yoke don’t wanna come off? What I do wrong?

[@dudewecanfixit]

Is there a bolt in the center of it?

[@tomfooljeans4224]

@@dudewecanfixit nah I took it off already

[@masonnantz7610]

By the way its 4x4 too
