Rebuilding the 6L80 Transmission - Special Tools

[@TheN3tT3chMan]

Thank you for taking the time to explain the 6L80 and for helping me with my questions today!

[@nickstransmissions]

You're welcome, man and thank you so much for the support!!!

[@esoterictransmissions]

Great video man.

[@nickstransmissions]

Thanks, man!

[@JamesEvans-y8z]

where did you get the holding fixture at

Hey James, thanks for watching...Here you go: www.superiormachineandfab.com/product/heavy-duty-transmission-holding-fixture-for-engine-stand/

Bushing driver kit link, please. Bought from Amazon but it didn't work

[@nickstransmissions]

Hi Gilberto, I'd not buy anything off Amazon any further when it comes to transmission parts or tools, unless Amazon is simply serving as a 'pass-through' agent for a well-established supplier like WITT Performance but I'd buy directly from the supplier before I'd purchase off Amazon. Sorry, I don't have a link to that kit as I bought it off eBay several years ago.

Awesome man!!!

What is the part # on the bushing driver kit for the 6l80 I'm fixing to rebuild my transmission my self and I'm going to start buying the special tools ahead of time

[@nickstransmissions]

hi Jeff, thanks for watching...There's no part number associated with that bushing driver kit but if you search eBay for '6L80 Bushing Drivers', it or a similar set should come up...You also will likely need to buy the seal driver tool kit for the front pump/bell housing separately as it won't come with the other bushing driver set.

What is the size on the threads in the output shaft for the 6l90

[@nickstransmissions]

Hi Chris, they are the same as the 6L80's.

[@darrylk.230]

Checking tool... looks to be a re-purposed output shaft of some sort? Would please clarify its source. Thank you.

[@nickstransmissions]

Hi Darryl, thank you for watching...Are you referring to the pump checking tool or the tool used to air check the 3-5-R drum? Neither are modified stators however the 3-5-R tool basically acts as a stator of sorts, mimicking the pump's stator.

[@jamesv4363]

nice video , can anyone see the part number on the 3-5-rev bearing installer

[@nickstransmissions]

Thanks for watching, James...The 3-5-R bearing installer tool number is DT47866. The bearing driver tool number for the planetary needle bearing is DT47857.

[@adamhorvat9515]

I'm looking for an H gauge but am having a hard time finding one, can you lead me in the right direction ?

[@nickstransmissions]

Hi Adam, unfortunately I cannot beyond suggesting you call Transstar to see if they stock them or know anyone in their retailer network who does. They seem to be out of stock/unavailable everywhere as you've seen.

[@jamesethan3749]

I had to go buy a whole PRESS at Harbor Freight becuz of this thing!! 😂😂

[@nickstransmissions]

Good on you for buying one (too many DYIers don't for some reason) - You'll likely frequently use it for at least the next 20 years; it will pay for itself hundreds of times over during that period. I know mine has...

[@jamesethan3749]

@@nickstransmissions correct, im doing my own car for first and maybe last time, but I figured the press could serve me a lifetime for other projects anyways 🤷‍♂️ $200 down the drain! 😎

[@koelzspeedgarage2796]

Can you say what brand your 6L80 holding fixture is? You don't mention it in the video.

[@nickstransmissions]

I purchased off eBay. Seller's handle is Superiormachineandfabllc. Was ~$325.00 shipped.

@@nickstransmissions Thank you very much

👍💪

Thanks, Procharedmopar.

[@Ben-xo3bj]

Are all of these tools interchangeable to the 6L90?

[@nickstransmissions]

Yep, they work on all the 6L transmissions.

[@danielguerra626]

Can you do a 68rfe video?

[@nickstransmissions]

I will once I get one in.

[@Themuncher288]

Same for 6L50?

[@nickstransmissions]

Yes - those tools work on all '6L' transmissions.
