What amazes me is how three small bolts holding it to the torque converter can take all that power and not just strip them off and it's still amazes me

Same here, lol. Look up the sheer strength of a "half inch grade 8 bolt". Very impressive

[@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.

Just did a full rebuild on my 01 jimmy. It's a lot more in depth for a 1st timer but I truly enjoyed rebuilding the tranny, adding sonnax shift kit, parts of transgo shift kit, corvette servo and a sonnax sun shell which was my problem in the first case. 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. Now I know I can rebuild one of these things and next would be engine dismantling but that's for another time. Much respect from Saskatchewan Canada 🇨🇦

Just gonna have to shovel snow when I go to take it in and out lol.

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.

I'm kicking myself for not reusing the original torque converter. The reman unit had a screwed up bolt hole and I didn't know it until I had the trans all bolted up. Had a heck of a time chasing the hole and it was still tight. That TC was a garbage dacco unit and they used paper clutch material and sold it as a woven carbon fiber unit. It would shudder as the pwm solenoid was about to lock up. No wonder they don't do remans for automobiles anymore. I bought a new TC from a reputable company and guess what? One of the dang bolt holes had a ding next to it making it so the bolt wouldn't go in by hand. Not as bad as the dacco unit but still irritating.

[@dudewecanfixit]

That’s unfortunate, but it’s a good idea to have a small file on hand to clean up those bolt hole entrances

[@sammysam9560]

nice video.... I was wondering what brand is that blue impact you are using?

[@dudewecanfixit]

Kobalt from Lowes

[@oldcarguy700]

I am guessing that the slip yoke is the same. Was the length equal too? Thanks

[@dudewecanfixit]

That is the same transmission and driveshaft from the original vehicle

[@navajorezathlete1202]

Great video by the way, great step by step detail 👌

[@dudewecanfixit]

Thank you!

You're welcome! Thanks for the comment

The smaller not on the starter for the signal wire is not a 9/16 it is either a 5/16 which would be 8 mm or it’s a 3/8 equivalent to 10 mm 9/16 would be 14 mm similar to the size of the spark plug socket on a Mini Cooper

[@dudewecanfixit]

Must have been a typo, good eye!

[@gregmccarter2176]

Did you check the gap between the torque converter and the flex plate? 1/8 gap..if not, I see a burned up pump. Trashed tranny..

[@dudewecanfixit]

I put the gap specs in the video description.

[@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

[@58thatdude]

love the attention to detail where are you guys from??

[@dudewecanfixit]

Thanks, were from Louisiana

[@KeepitReal-wn4zj]

Great video! What transmission jack is that?

[@dudewecanfixit]

It's a harbor freight transmission jack

[@jacobbrown686]

Dude, I’m gonna try it this weekend!

[@dudewecanfixit]

Awesome! You got this!

[@thesetruths1404]

Nice. Have a 4x4 GM tranny 4L60/66/70 install?

[@dudewecanfixit]

I do not have a separate video on those. Probably very similar to this one

[@KevinReyes-rp4uu]

Amazing in detail step by step video thank you!

[@dudewecanfixit]

I appreciate the feedback!

[@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

[@gavinhicks2456]

when reinstall do you need to put fluid in torque converter first or does it fill through the dipstick too????

[@everythinggamer2663]

Try to put a decent amount in there so when you start the engine it's not running dry for a couple seconds

[@dudewecanfixit]

Well said!

[@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

[@kcroc44]

How do you prevent the flex plate from rotating while torquing them

[@dudewecanfixit]

You can put a socket on the crankshaft bolt and hold it from there.

[@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

[@LaZerMouse]

Thank you for the video. What is the torque for the bell housing bolts?

[@dudewecanfixit]

35 FT/LB. Sorry, we fast forwarded over the part where I talked about that.

[@LaZerMouse]

@@dudewecanfixit Thank you very much

[@alexcomella1640]

What is the process if your torque converter is bound up. My transmission isn’t wanting to sit flush against my engine and I think that’s the issue maybe

[@dudewecanfixit]

It sounds like your torque converter is not seated all the way. Move the transmission back and try to get the torque converter to seat further. Rotate and push until it clicks down further

[@mjb12141963]

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You. You answered my question!!!!

[@dudewecanfixit]

Glad I could be of use!

[@EricAlbiar]

Good video but does anybody know where the ground wire goes bolted to, my mechanic went MIA in the middle of my transmission job and I’m trying to finish installing it myself?

[@dudewecanfixit]

Which ground wire?

[@EricAlbiar]

@@dudewecanfixit it’s a steel braided looking ground wire hanging there and I’m thinking it probably goes ground to one of the transmission bolts but I real don’t?

[@michaeldennis3240]

Great vid but i wish you guys would use another jack or something as a fail safe! How could you trust only those 2 jacks!

[@dudewecanfixit]

We are looking into more safety measures for the shop! In due time

[@raulgonzalez-uj6wo]

You guys are doing an awesome job. Thanks. Very clear and understandable

[@michaelcurry8563]

Hey thankyou for this video it helped a ton! One question, one of my bolts on the bottom of the trans striped a little and won't go all the way in. Will it be fine to leave it like that? All of the other bolts are good.

[@dudewecanfixit]

Is that in the bell housing where it bolts to the block?

[@michaelcurry8563]

@dudewecanfixit yes the bottom of it

[@dudewecanfixit]

Personally, I think it would be fine. However, I cannot guarantee it

[@michaelcurry8563]

@dudewecanfixit ok I gotcha, just needed a second opinion lol, thankyou!

[@dudewecanfixit]

No problem
