Project 4L60E Part 2 lesson 3

[@garyrobinson3735]

I WANT TO THANK YOU, James Williams, FROM THE BOTTOM OF HEART I also have a small appreciation to Transmission Bench. I have rebuilt my 6th 4l60e Transmission using the exact professional tools you demonstrate and other mechanic and technical skills I've acquired over my career. For Myself, my parents 2 trucks, and 3 others I made profit from. I have now planned to continue overhauling 4l60e, 4l80e, and 6l80e as a respectable and helpful technician. Ps.- May your health and family prosper.

[@garyrobinson3735]

I do not think of myself as a professional transmission technician but a very balanced and methodical novice. You cqn bet your salt that I have and will do exceptional work. Thank you.

[@rickcowley8553]

You need a brass hammer to work on Transmissions.

[@garyrobinson3735]

@@rickcowley8553I have a large collection of them.

[@garyrobinson3735]

I've built hundreds of these transmission now. Literally in the thousands.

[@rivenmotors7981]

I just rebuilt my 2007 Chevrolet 4L60E following Jimmy's tutorials and it works again! Fantastic video series and presentation. Never thought I'd attempt this procedure but he made it easy as well as ordering the parts I needed. Highly recommended, thanks Jimmy!

Where do you get a new front planetary gear? I’m not seeing a 4 pinion on Amazon and I can’t find one elsewhere online from a reputable source.

[@mikeday8826]

There are a bunch on Ebay

[@evanbutler7171]

@@austinhardwick537Amazon I got a kit for them

[@SeanEpoc]

this guy is the Bob Ross of transmissions

[@davidadrianmorales6585]

My output shaft isnt going in enough to put the snap ring. the snap ring groove does not clear the front planetary. Any tips or thoughts please?

[@MRRANDOM1]

Just keep playing with it take it out to the sun shell and build back, mines was doing the same also place the unit on same side as Jimmy

[@davidsabyan2481]

Good time to replace the O ring where the drive shaft yoke slides into the slinger. It is located on the output shaft.

[@oldmountainmarineandmetals9736]

Hi, after following my own step by step installation and then taking it back apart and then following you step by step it doesn't seem like my output shaft is coming in the case enough to install the small lock ring and the only step that I skipped was putting the shaft in last, I put loctite on the splines when I first started like the directions said that the manufacturer does when building it. So my question is should the shaft go in far enough to where the oiling hole in the journal is running on the race on the rear of the case? Because I'm a quarter of a inch short

[@MidnightMechanic]

Not only should the drive shell be replaced, it should be upgraded with a revised, heat treated hardened drive shell that's normally used for pro series racing. They're not that expensive, upwards around $80-$100, but it's a very good investment to prevent transmission failure even after a recent rebuild.

[@surfers20]

Midnight Mechanic you wouldn't know if I can use an (new) old style sun shell with the 4 holes for a thrust washer (but not use the thrust washer) and keep just the thrust bearing?

[@coyoteserranoband]

Ahhh yes!! Brilliant!!!!

[@bcframers5423]

Awesome instructor

[@autoglass08]

I have a 99 s10 2.2 auto. It had p1870 code. But all gears would still work. Just long drives after stopping and down shifting to 1st it wouldn't want to pull .. could filter and solenoids fix it possibly?

[@josedominguez2021]

U R the Best!!!!!!!!

[@dyoung7927]

I have a but a 1/4" movement with he out put shaft installed with snap ring went back through everything and still moves about 1/4" is that ok '

[@DC-zl8ww]

What would be the ohm reading on the epc solenoid?

[@racebends]

Awesome video series, but may I suggest grinding down the mushroom top on your driver before you fire them off like bullets.

[@douglasgerrard5094]

And use a proper mechanic hammer not a carpenter hammer.

[@jorgelozoya6589]

Esmuy bueno tu video mesirbe muncho amigo esmas de eso

[@rubberbandman2540]

great video

[@kenbonham]

So the snapring groove on the output shaft is not exposed enough to put the snap ring on. What would cause this?

[@TAShannon1]

Did you shim the thrust washer in between reaction shaft and input planetary? What reaction shell did you go with?

[@davidadrianmorales6585]

Did you figure it out? was it the bushing?

[@gustavomelendez5514]

🙏🙏🙏tanks master

[@PRSQUAD88]

I got a 2001 GMC Sierra V8 I'm doing a rebuilt and I have a 04 using as part can I put that dry shell on the old one with the roller bearing thrust because the old one has a thrust bearing that looks like brass would it make any different or work the same

[@gyffjogofl7676]

Was the inner roller spline missing at 12:57?

[@banno6938]

Nope don't look like it was omitted .

[@stevenswiatek6268]

Can you use a pre 2001 sunshell in a 2004 transmission? I bought a new sunshell and they sent me one with the slots for the thrust washer not the bearing.

[@unicyclerider15]

I’m in the exact same situation. What did you do? I think I’m gonna go with the washer it came with

[@hotsplice]

Transmission Bench Jimmy, What brand and part number is for your snap ring pliers?

[@andycoslet6479]

I found a really good set on Amazon. I can't remember the name right now, but they work great. I can tell you that they have green handles and a case

[@colejohnson3705]

Did you put the stock ( failure prone) sunshell back in? Why not run the better, stronger aftermarket sunshell? Then you won't have to do this again next week!!!!!!! Great video!

[@glhxturbo]

I would guess this to just show exact stock rebuild. He never much talks about upgrades in these videos. He could have also put a wider sun gear bushing in there or double up on the smaller ones.

[@Stonie8690]

Can anyone tell me why the output shaft wont clear the planetary enough to put the snap ring back on?

[@unicyclerider15]

Your low reverse piston probably wasn’t fully seated

[@scottchristensen3694]

Perhaps a bearing upside down under the sun shell.

[@davidadrianmorales6585]

Did you figure it out? Was it the bushing?

[@sammygiusti5040]

grazie

[@mitchel9431]

Holy crap if your gonna chew, chew with your mouth closed. Kinda distracting to listen to 30 mins of none stop chewing.

[@randallmoseley3128]

[@estebanloya5086]

Is the sunshell supposed to have up and down play once the snap ring is installed
