The trans fixture and clutch spring compressor are both from SST on Amazon. Both seem to have gone up 35-40 bucks since I bought mine.

Thx for sharing. Give new people courage to fix at home in small garage, like we always did!

Thanks JR I can’t wait for the next videos . Not only are you showing people how to make a cool hot rod. But your showing people how to save a buck and keep there daily driver on the road. So they can continue to put food on the table and the bills paid. Seriously thank you 🙏🏻

This was the most informative 80e tear down video I've watched. No bullshit, to the point, not trying to over explain it. Thanks for doing what you do man. This will definitely help me out.

[@davebarron5939]

My 4L80E out of my 04 3500 Express had 780K on it, still worked well, slight shudder in OD only sometimes, never failed me. Parted out van and sold the trans, kept the 6.0 for my Camaro LS swap.

[@michaelcouey1383]

I actually laughed out loud at the "My God, it's full of stars" reference in the video thumbnail! :)

[@masoncampos7043]

I knew you got that off a shelf! Too clean inside! Lol.. Good pick JR, throw some soft parts in and do some burnouts! 👍

[@BigFun4Life]

Great video....Keep them coming coming....

[@pmotorsports8276]

That's cool that you got extra dowel pins with the transmission 😉

[@kevindrury8390]

I hate pulling a bad transmission out twice , might as well fix it.

[@derriklee287]

Chevy guys like doing thing at least 2 times.

[@jeremyeubanks2387]

Cool video. Informative

[@davietrees8586]

Gray video safe trip

[@jeremyeubanks2387]

Man it looks cold as shit in your shop

[@dgrandioso]

This is an off subject question. What brand of cordless torque wrench are you using? I’m in the market to buy one. Thanks

[@TheDrivewayEngineer]

It's a Milwauke M18 driver, technically not an impact. It can't take off wheel lugs and big stuff.

[@masoncampos7043]

They probably pulled the Pan cleaned it and change the filter. Then put some transfix in a bottle aka purple stuff in and still had some slip.. what do you think?

[@TheDrivewayEngineer]

That's my thought, someone had slip, or something, threw a filter at it, that didn't solve it, now they're off telling people changing your transmission filter wrecks your transmission 😂

[@jamest.5001]

@@TheDrivewayEngineer it's amazing how some ppl's logic works!

[@MrBruceherman]

Perfect. Let me send you my 4l80 to rebuild

[@TheDrivewayEngineer]

I already have one to rebuild though.

[@Trumpetmac]

Awesome. What torque converter do you recommend for street driving. The one that comes with it or another one? Thanks

[@TheDrivewayEngineer]

I get converters from Ryan Jans at Florida Converter

[@kevinhumphrey932]

Do you ever add any extra clutch plates or extra steels in any of the packs when you do a rebuild thank you

[@TheDrivewayEngineer]

IN an 80, never, not necessary at the power levels I achieve, which is under 750 tire

[@jeremyeubanks2387]

Damn looks similar to the steels and fibers out of my gsxr1000

[@TheDrivewayEngineer]

Pretty similar idea really

[@berniemc6954]

I noticed that you left the converter, is that because it is not worth the trouble for a stock one? just curious

[@TheDrivewayEngineer]

A stock junkyard converter is a big gamble. Is it full of trash? Also, I had no idea if they were going to charge me for it, and, it's heavy 😂

[@vamperalmighty]

so, how do i mod my 4l60 to do burnouts in reverse with my SBC

[@kevinhumphrey932]

Install a 4l80e and do Texas J's all day long

[@vamperalmighty]

@@kevinhumphrey932 but I like breaking things

[@largesfc]

Where do you get your trans parts?

[@TheDrivewayEngineer]

WITtrans.com

[@largesfc]

Thank You

[@davelewis2174]

www.sonnax.com/parts/4496-smart-tech-overrun-clutch-valve-kit Ive been looking this mod for my 4l80e

[@TheDrivewayEngineer]

OK? It's all over the internet, buy it I guess?

[@infamousnova]

You got intake and fuel rail for sale?

[@TheDrivewayEngineer]

No, I'm not a seller of things

[@infamousnova]

@@TheDrivewayEngineer ahhh ok. If you had to buy a intake, which would you choose? 862 heads

[@infamousnova]

Or which would you look for

[@TheDrivewayEngineer]

@@infamousnova wut?

[@infamousnova]

@@TheDrivewayEngineer what intake would you pick up for cathedral port heads

[@silverslider96]

First like and view. Woohoo. Lol

[@NickPsu28]

Lol Canada.... our junk is...decent

[@robertmarshall7031]

Poor camera angle - could not see anything you were doing ?

[@TheDrivewayEngineer]

There's nothing to see, take the stuff out, look at it. Not meant to be a how to tear down video, plenty of those, check out A21bravo or Hiram Gutierrez if that's what you're after.
