After seeing the footage, I would feel absolutely confident of disassembling one of these. However, putting it all back together again would be a completely different situation, indeed, after the first set of bolts were removed, I was completely lost.. :D You're clearly a master mechanic and years of experience and my hat is tipped in your direction for your ability, but looking at all that complex parts on the bench has stunned me. Reassembling something like this is impossible for anyone other than a qualified mechanical engineer and there's more chance of me going to the moon than to attempt something like this.. Brilliant to watch, still got a headache from the miriade of parts, but I was transfixed the whole time..

Yes sir i could not afford to have someone rebuild or buy another. My first time. I bought a cheap kit and had an extra bad one. I had two C6s on two welding tables tore down. I do alot of different mechanic work. Hydraulics caterpillar cars trucks loaders, skidders, excavator, skid steer tractors. Bailer who knows. I own tools. I am mainly an operator or logger. Mostly faller. I put one together. I enjoyed it. So i tore it back down and built it a few times. That was about 2015. Barely had utube than. But i wasn't aware of it. That trans still works very good. With the 460 i barely adjusted the modulator to shift sooner so it dropped rpm shift just a little. I managed with extra tranny to put in 6 clutches. Picking the best plates and taking out the spring plates. I put a ball in the forward reverse monitor in tail so it would never get hung up. I drilled out a few walls in the valve body for oil flow. I used the better spragges and copper shims. 1977 f250 highboy and it gets used hard towing 4x4ing. Heavy towing and overweight hauling. Very abused and 7 years later still working. But i change oil regular. I am not scared of them any more. I found cleaning the cooler and getting new cooler lines is a good idea.

Seems as though TransGo specifically knows something about that one check ball because they put an "X" on the diagram so, it's likely a phone call to them will answer the concern. It's good to know your shop checks into those issues before making the decision to go with or without it. You would think those "paddles" in the pump are what damage the bell housing side of the pump. Maybe GM needs to go back to a ring gear design that has way more surface area to take up the stresses. It's really interesting to know that your shop processes retain repairable and reusable parts vs. depend on suppliers 100% with each build. I'm finding out there are many trans builders who do not save good parts or stock up on new parts to have a buffer when parts are on backorder for one example. That is simply common sense for this kind of specialty.

My 2011 buick regal transmission went out at 80k, luckily I was dumb enough to buy an extended warranty. My Wife's 2007 accord no major repairs as of date.

My 6L80E had all neutrals at 106k miles. I was told the torque converter failed.

That’s why I went to the 4L80 instead of the 6L80. To much problems at short mileage.

Read your shift kit instructions again, Late models have that extra check ball. It shows you right in the shift kit instructions X equals 1 .250 check ball In the X location on late model transmissions.

Its nice to see the teardown, but would like to see the build with all the good Sonnax, Transgo, ect parts. The repair of the stator pump valves, ect. Any special checks that you do that most transmission guys don't do when assembly this transmission. Thanks

The build is his bread and butter. Very few shops will show the build. Check out the "Automatic Transmission" YT channel for complete teardown, rebuild and kit modifications.
