Thanks for your comment about the Lancia. I would like to have some more time to do more with it. Ain't that always the case!

[@deankay4434]

Just a couple of comments to add as we go into 2020. First, it is important to leak-check the orifaced cup plug in the front of the input housing & shaft assembly. Re-stake or replace after cleaning and fails to seal for the 3rd - 4th apply piston. Secondly, improved “Blue” rubber compounds that withstands the thousands of heat cycles and wear from movement sold in sets of 3 of steel molded pistons. These will last way longer, unless you need repeat work every 8 years! I’ve known many techs who skip steps and don’t even know the Oring that goes onto the internal nose of the input forward housing shaft assembly before the 3rd - 4th clutch piston is installed. ASE Master Tech / 1978 / Retired Other, nice series of sectioned lessons.

[@deankay4434]

For those building a 82 - 93, TH700r4 - 4L60, using the “Blue” rubber type molded steel pistons, the spring retainer shown at 10:21 is required. It is ACDelco p/n 24206085. It is narrow and has a steel end plates and works with the same clip. This “Blue” rubber compound is 4-5 times more resistant to heat, retains its shape way better and allows for use of the 0.50” boost valve that increases line pressure and can deform the aluminum pistons. Checking for bent or deformed aluminum pistons is in the GM service manual. Low & reverse is the same but by design is heavier to start with. ASE Master Tech since 1978

[@Levi-jj4vq]

How do you leak check the cup plug?

[@deankay4434]

Levi, That a cool name! It is normal to add Solvent or mineral spirits 2 part to 1 part ATF. Using a hypo or straw with finger on end, fill the ball cap almost full. Take a lunch then check under it. Should be dry. Remember, 2 check balls in capsules, one at center rear and other over servo’s. High wear on high mileage cases and rarely checked. GM’s service manual says to use a #4 easy-out, I use a 3/8 fine tap. (Test for fit on size, but use fine) screw in until it grabs & turns. Place a flat plate on VB surface, grab with vise grips, turn, push down on handles if you place a flat fulcrum for pivot 1” back and it should pop out. They say to measure top for depth but it bottoms out with 3/8” drift. Cheap insurance for $6. Best to change, up to you but stay safe and wear a glove to watch fingers. Hope this helps! (Tip) hit video gear in upper right when at regular screen. Change speed to something faster. See something, slow down to normal the re-play. The easy-out trick is in the video I think. He is an “STG” GM instructor. Have a good one! ASE Master Retired.

Excellent great lesson of 4L60e 3/4 gear clutch assembly, very lovely impressive video, with soft sound.

[@gearshifterg9756]

Since this video was made 9 years ago, there are a number of improvements to the 3/4 drum. Rather than use the type of pistons that failed, use a SEAL-AFTERMARKET Hyper-Blu piston set. When you take apart the input sprag assembly, if you find the gold washer set as pictured, discard the sprag and washer assembly and replace with an improved Borg Warner set. Also, this video made no mention of inspecting the back or the housing that has the 6 tangs. It should be smooth. If it has grooves, replace it. When you do the air check to the drum (@30:32), first pour transmission fluid into the area where the spacer and bearing goes. Then apply air. Look for air bubbles. Check the other 2 apply holes and look for air bubbles. No bubbles, good to go, .... got bubbles, then tear down the drum, push out the shaft and re-seal the input shaft to the drum. By the way, nor was it mentioned about checking the drum for wear on the splines where the clutches ride. Look at 31:30. Below the lower teflon seal. Those splines should all be full with no wear. You can see in the picture where the splines are scuffed, but not worn. if the splines are worn, time for a new drum. Odds are you will not find a new drum any longer and will need to find a good used drum. But, yes, there are still new drums available, I keep 4 or 5 on my shelf. And speaking of the 4 teflon seals, (also 2 on the pump stator) REPLACE them.

Saved my ass man,thanks for excellent ,thourogh presentation

[@koffeegreaseaddicts]

I just wanted to add that only 4l60 takes .060 inches of clearence as a minimum between the 3-4 backing plate and first clutch plate. The specification is .060-.094 as stated in the video. However, the 4l60e takes .035" to .083" of clearance. That info is per service manuals. I got on mine 0.45" of clearance for a 2005 Trailblazer. I just wanted to put this here if someone is not getting the .060 despite using different size pressure plates; saving you the hassle 😅 I experienced. Always check your respective GM unit service manual

[@brittoncorbin7144]

I was wondering this because I replaced my 3-4 pack with 6 friction plates and 5 steels at .106” and the clearance was only .035” and it was all stock frictions and steels but the video somehow gets .60” clearance event though we supposedly used the same parts. I went ahead and changed one of the steels to a .076”, which gives me an addtional .030” or a total of .065”. I don’t mind being on the higher side.

[@koffeegreaseaddicts]

@brittoncorbin7144 you are good there with .035 i would believe but take that with a grain of salt; i'm not trans rebuilder. Just a general mechanic. However, That's what the Trailblazer unit repair manual states and i have a GM unit repair for 98 and calls the same. I tested different plates and the best i could based on this video was .055. I left it a .045 though.

[@brittoncorbin7144]

@@koffeegreaseaddicts thanks. Yes it’s a little confusing because this guy is the guru of tranny rebuilds and he said “it’s critical that the end play be between .060 and .085”. I take him for his word and you know he knows the GM specs so I reading between the lines that the end play needs to be a little higher than the factory specs, otherwise he would have just repeated the factory spec of .035 to .086. But then you research and watch the other videos and everyone aims for .035” which is exactly what I arrived at the first time!! The folks wanting the tight clearance claim it makes for firm shifts but the folks wanting the higher clearance talk about increased fluid flow, lubrication and reduction in temperatures. AHH. Very confusing.

What if the input housing has a few scuff marks around the top rounded edge of the housing (About 1/2 inch below the top where the splines are on the drum). The scuff looks like it is from where the reverse input drum sits on top of the input housing. Could the scuffs on the input housing be caused from that? Or maybe from 3-4 packs being burnt out, hence why my truck only had 1st, 2nd and reverse? Once my truck shifted to 3rd it was like I had pushed in the clutch but on a automatic transmission.

[@CronicGamerz]

[@MidnightMechanic]

I've seen plenty of transmission performance companies that like to install 9 clutches in a pack and can go as far up to 15 stacked! Do they simply use thinner clutch frictions and steels to achieve this, or do the bearings and washers have to be modified as well?

[@tjoyce81]

As I view this video at around 16.20 or so, I see that the sun gear snaps in and out of the sprag race - with the need to use a hammer. On my 1997 unit, this sun gear does not need to be installed or removed from the race with a hammer, it is easily removed by hand... Is that normal? Is that a sign of excessive wear? or is this normal?

question on sprag thrust washer installation at 14:14 if I put the thrust washer as per your instruction, and install the 3-4 clutch pack and snap ring and I can grab the sun gear and it seems very loose, is this condition normal? If I flip the thrust washer and put it in the looseness of the sprag clutch assembly is much tighter but not and little loose.

[@transmissionbench7842]

Hi Jackson. It is VERY loose.This is normal. It feels loose because the assembly is actually supported by the sun gear and output shaft after the input drum is installed into the transmission.

I bought a ALTO brand 3/4 clutch pack with 9 frictions and 11 steels it says .020 to 0.40 clearance is that right

[@johnnyadkins2570]

0n 2004 dodge caravan my clutch retainer package was cracked isthere any other parts ineed to change that may have caused this

[@thomasfinley7754]

My new forward clutch piston went in housing with no resistance. I didn't need feeler gauges or anything. Will this be an issue?

[@craigj.651]

It should have a lil resistance going in an coming out, its supposed to be able to seal.

[@jamesgreer3924]

if a shallow pan filter is in a deep pan what could go wrong?

[@tortron]

As long as it's kept full of fluid, nothing. But you are at higher risk of the filter sucking air, the dip stick won't help except at full

My 700r4 has aluminum pistons with the rubber seals, would it hurt to use the steel ones that also came with my rebuild kit? They seem to fit as well.

What will cause a long 1st to 2nd ? No codes and not slipping .

[@stevefitzgerald846]

I’m confused.... the 3-4 clutch friction plates do not seem to be engaged to anything..... how do they transfer force???

[@voidisyinyangvoidisyinyang885]

the steel plates squeeze the friction plates as the steel plates spline to the sun case (or something like that). hahaha. Go to SouthPaw Autoworks for the BEST transmission "explain" vids of how they actually work - he even uses animation.

There are no mistakes, only happy little accidents. Right! We 3 ways, being shown, being told and just doing. If you have found this series of lesson, although almost 6 years old now as we head into 2020, the lessons learned are still true today. ASE Master Tech in 1978, I have made my share of happy little mistakes myself. To be expected as self taught never going to a trade school in the late 60’s, but always learning, now it’s easier.
