That little piece is considered a lifetime seal, not needed to be replaced unless the seal was damaged or faulty which is rare. But if that is the case or you absolutely need to change it just because, a fat easy out/extractor with the obvious amount of downforce is the best way for removal without damaged the outer sealing surface.

@NexusAuto

Hey, I get that. Especially with how sensitive these transmissions are. Unfortunately, doing this is an 'at your own risk' situations. But the big issue is doing a full flush on these transmissions...these seem to do a lot of damage to the transmissions. A drain and fill, like this video, have a lot less risk (things can still go wrong, but the chances are very low). The mileage is less the issue...it's more the condition of the transmission. When you check the transmission fluid...is there any silver, metal flakes/sparkles in the fluid? If not, you may be ok to do it.

Thanks, much appreciated. According to GM themselves, their Dex VI is fully interchangeable with Dex III. I have used Dex VI in my 05 grand Prix for about 5 years now with no issues at all. GM doesn't even make Dex III now. If you need Dex III, they just sell you Dex VI

I haven't read all the comments so Im not sure if someone has already suggested this but I have an 04 grand prix gtp and also work on many gm vehicles with similar trans drain and fill procedures. That part of the filter (filter seal) almost always gets stuck up inside the valve body and YES it is a pain to try and get out. Anyone who ever runs into this problem can just leave it up there. Thats right, just leave that old seal up there and just take the seal off of the new filter. Just push the new filter up and it will lock into the old seal. Good Luck

I've been planning on doing this to my GP for a while. With COVID and being home, i'll actually get to it. As a recommendation to a lotta people, up here in Canada, DEXRON VI is the price of gold. But i contacted some dealerships here and they sell the AcDelco stuff for like $30 per 5L jug. That's cheaper than the no name brands at Walmart and CT. As a question though, why don't you just take off the transmission line that goes to the radiator and start the car - the pump will push all the the fluid out? It's almost a complete flush? I think you could probably even do it without removing the pan if a person just wants to change the fluid but not the seal/filter. It would get rid of a lot of the stuff inside the torque converter, etc. Also if a person didn't want to remove the pan but just change some of the transmission fluid, do you think they could just buy a hand pump, put it down into the transmission dipstick tube and suck all the fluid from the pan? I believe Princess Auto sells one here in Canada for like $17 but wasn't sure how effective it would be. Thanks a bunch man!

Hi Darren. I currently run Dexron VI in my GP as well..it is definitely the way to go. To answer your question, you definitely DO NOT want to perform a full transmission flush on the Grand Prixs. He 4t65e transmissions are VERY finicky. Drain and fills like in this video are perfectly fine...even doing them once a year or every other year. But, full flushes actually puts strain on the transmission. Sounds crazy, but it is very true. If you are intent on keeping the car going, you are better to do multiple drain and fills. For pumping out, I honestly never tried on this car. However, I would be worried because of the same issue above. Some background, just as an FYI. These transmissions are sensitive to wear, for things inside coming loose, and for sediment build up. The sediment build up is important to note, as in a weird sort of way, the sediment sort of fills in gaps in wear areas in the transmission. When you do a full flush (or possibly, when pulling in fluid from the dipstick), one of 4 things could happen 1. Something that is worn could come loose and get stuck somewhere in the transmission 2. Something that is worn could come loose and cause part failure 3. Sediment gets cleaned out, causing slippage 4. Sediment gets dislodged and stuck somewhere in the transmission, causing overheat or failure. I know this is weird-sounding, and definitely not common in many cars. But I have seen it happen to many of these transmissions. Luckily, my transmission is running smooth as of now. As an alternative, I got a transmission pan with a drain plug. You can drain the fluid a couple of times without needing to change the filter, which is very helpful. Check it out here. zzperformance.com/collections/3800/products/4t65e-aluminum-transmission-pan Hope this helps

Permatex also makes a smaller can, I think. And there is other brands too. Don't use dielectric Grease, as it can be messy and when you adhere the pan, it can leak into the transmission fluid if youre not careful. The gasket sealers /adhesives are the way to go

I hate to say it, but the transmission in these cars, the 4t65e, is easily its weakest part. They have to be babied and taken care of, or problems arise. Hopefully that is not the case for you. I would start with something simple. Have you checked the fluid level? And if that is good, when was the last time that the fluid was changed along with the filter? Often times, that will fix the issues with these transmissions

Thats a fair bit more complex from my understanding. According to some forums, a special machine is required to get that last 2 or 3 litres/quarts out. However, I cannot get a full confirmation from anyone yet. Sorry, cant give you a direct answer on this one. But this flush did take out about 7 litres/quarts from my system. depending on the condition of your transmission, that may be enough. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks for watching

First off, I love all your videos as I have a Grand Prix myself. My issue is I have a 2005 Grand Prix with 222 thousand miles runs pretty good for the most part, just need a couple suspension parts. Over a period of time I feel like the transmission has been running weird. The gears really don't shift unless I let off the gas and let it engage otherwise it will like Rev but not really shift. Then sometimes it goes into this weird mode where the engine or transmission is making like a surging sound before the gear engages which it then shifts hard. Does this sound like I need a transmission flush? Or something else?
@NexusAuto
@NexusAuto 6 жыл бұрын
Thanks for watching Nick. Appreciate it for sure. For your issue, I would probably start with a couple of things. 1. I would definitely start with a transmission flush. Maybe move up to Dexron VI fluid (which I did for my 2005). Change the filter as well. This fixes many shifting issues, and is the most cost effective fix. 2. I remember having a similar issue to yours, and it turned out to be a really dirty throttle body. The Fly By Wire throttle bodies get gunked up with carbon, and start to stick. this sometimes leaves the throttle open, and mimics the car not shifting, and the shifting at high RPM. Do you have a hard start too? I would consider trying a throttle body cleaning. It is also cheap and easy, and if it is not the fix, it couldn't hurt doing it as maintenance anyways. (if you haven't done it already). I would probably start with these 2 things, and see if there is any improvement.

I got a system induction cleaning a year ago or so and it solve the issue where I had to put on the gas as I was starting the car, but I never had any transmission issues or any hard shifts. I'm going to get a transmission flush and clean the throttle body again and see if that solves the issue. If it doesn't then it might be a possible transmission control solenoid?

No problem at all. If you are having the starting issue, I would probably start with the Throttle Body first, just to be sure. Then do the transmission flush. Hopefully either option, or both together, fix your hard shifting and starting issues. If this doesnt fix the issue, there is a few other possible issues, all isolated to the Transmission. The Control Solenoid would definitely be the next place I look too.

It revs a few times rather than shift. Then it eventually shifts into 4th. Then all of a sudden this weird mode happens I don't know if it's slipping or something else but the engine noise changes and it makes that surging noise from first in a second then second into third shift hard. The gear shift better in this mode but it shifts hard. Once I shut the car off and wait a second and turn it back on its back to normal. I wonder what this is.

Generally great advice, but not always. Let's say someone had an overfilled or low fluid level in their transmission? I have encountered both of these situations in other peoples car. As long as the initial level is good, I agree.

I've been sober for 9 years. Not anymore. I blame your camera work for that.

I get this comment is a knock at the shaky cam, but hey, it is a 7 yr old video and shaky cams is not so much an issue these days. I just started making videos and didn't even have tripods or anything like that. I get it the troll factor here. But honestly, instead of coming back at you, if you are indeed 9 yrs sober, I would rather say congratulations. That's an amazing accomplishment. And I hope for what it's worth, the video was somewhat helpful.

Please don't flush a 4t65e for the love of god!!!
@NexusAuto
@NexusAuto 4 жыл бұрын
I agree..a flush on a 4t65e is a terrible idea. A drain and fill, what is in this video, is just fine. I have done many flushes on my own car, and many other 4t65e transmissions, and know others who have done it, and no issues. A flush...you can almost guarantee transmission failure at some point afterwards

@@NexusAuto Had me worried there for a minute lol. Sorry for not watching the video or reading the description. Your video was recommended and I read grand prix Trans flush and died a little inside lol While the pan is off its also a really good idea to put a trans-go shift kit in and if your 4t65e is pre 06, it's a good idea to upgrade from dexron 3 to dexron 6. I've also had better luck sealing the factory reusable gaskets than the ones provided, even on 20 year old cars. As for the filter gasket I use a plastic pick to fold it over and then pull it out with long needle nose plyers making sure not to score the bore. Great channel man.

@@RickyGuterson LOl no worries at all...I completely understand. I should probably change the title to drain and fill, since you are not the first to mention it haha. In any case, I know it is in good faith, especially since you are pretty well versed in the GP and 4t65e. You had some great recommendations and funny enough, I am already there. I had installed a shift kit, although it was a ZZP one, not trans-go. If I had known at trans-go at the time, I would have been that one, as it is superior. Mind you, the zzp one is great, but maybe another time, I will upgrade further. I ahve also gone to Dexron VI, did it a few years ago and I change it roughly once a year, so via the drain and fills, I am fairly confident I have almost all the Dex III out. And I installed a Dorman drain pan, which had a drain plug. Made drain and fills much much easier. And I completely agree with the stock gasket...much better quality vs the aftermarket ones. Still using it on my 05 as of now. Thanks for the great tips and feedback! Very much appreciated!

How much torque for the transmission bolts..
@NexusAuto
@NexusAuto Жыл бұрын
it is 12 ft/lbs. Make sure you dont torque one by one, but do each bolt to around 6 ft lbs, then once all the bolts are done, do them again to 12. And be careful to be accurate...it is easy to strip bolts
