He's right it does work, just scoop most of the fluid out so your not volleying with that.. and have a little patience. I know this works on 6L80 transmission on most of the later Silverados, Tahoes, Suburbans, Vans, etc. even at least the last 3 generations of some. This is by design! If your space is closed up, there's a good chance your exhaust has made contact with something like the ground and is bent or possibly your transmission is hanging down lower for some reason, like rear tail mount is worn out or crushed. I'm posting this to hopefully help others, not for arguments sake. Pan Removal Trick: I have 2018 Tahoe 6L80 trans. and the pan will come right out! Not sure if your ride will have it (i know most do), but I removed the heat shield on passenger side of pan (2 bolts). Then I was able to slide the pan over to passenger side about 3 inches, then twisted the front of the pan towards the driver side and it came right out! Removing the little heat shield gives you lots more room. If you look at the back of the pan (shallow end), there is a little raised area on the bottom about 3 inches from the passenger side, that spot is the point that will allow you to move passed the exhaust y pipe (cross over pipe). Hope this helps!! 👍

If your watching this and you don’t have a dipstick there is I rubber plug under that heat shield. With a little harbor freight pump you can get the oil out that way. Be sure to measure it and return the same amount back in that hole. I pulled my pan and changed the filter and gasket also. As another tip replace fluid with mobile one synthetic LV ATF HP BLACK label only. And that can stop early onset Chevy shake. OEM fluid trashes the torque converters. Hope that helps somebody

great quality video! i have to do this in my near future and i got a lot of good information from your video, i appreciate you posting this. just a tip with my own personal struggle while trying to find a transmission leak i have: i saw in the owner's manual they have a cold level check procedure where you idle and check the level at 80 F - 90 F which you can achieve by just idling (when its warm out anyway, not sure about when it's cold out lol). it would just verify safe operating level prior to when you drive around and heat the fluid up to do the more accurate hot level check at full operating temperature like you did.

Thanks for the tip! I'm glad you found our video helpful and informative.

I can tell every DIYers outhere that this do not work like that on every truck; my pan never had the required clearance without jacking the trans, losening the trans bushing bolts, strapping thr exhaust + losening the exhaust manifold flange nuts.

In other videos folks struggled badly with removing the pan, I've seen a couple vids where they "had to" jack up the transfer case and pull down the exhaust for room, yet you were able to get it out w/o any of that. You seemed to be on the right track removing the heat shield, or at least I think so.Those two bolts are way easier than jacking the tranny up by the transfer case.
@TrickShiftGarageАй бұрын
Thank you, I refused to believe it was necessary to do all of that to remove the transmission pan. The heat shield might give that half an inch more of clearance to slide it over but I figured to show it since thats what I was seeing down there. Hope yours goes as smoothly, thanks for watching! 🙂

@nd3498Ай бұрын
Dropping the pan was not as simple as shown in the video. No mater what angle I turned the pan after taking the heat shield off it would not clear the internal components of the transmission nor the exhaust. I had no other choice but to remove the two 15mm bolts connecting my 4x4 transfer case to the crossmember and jacking it and my transmission up 1-1.5 inches up while at the same time using my neighbors bottle jack, a couple of 4x4 pieces of lumber and a heavy duty ratchet strap I pulled the exhaust 1/4-3/4 of an inch down too get the pan to properly clear and come out. 3-3-1/2 hours later I was able to finish the job but not without gaining a few more gray hairs that I don’t want at my tender age of 33. As a warning to others looking to give this a try it’s a going to be a hit or miss if this will work or not and I recommend having a few extra tools laying around because once you get started your committed till the end. Good luck, I hope it works better for you then it did for me.

It's still in there. You can always drain the fluid again to get more of the old fluid out. If you want all the fluid replaced a flush is needed. Thanks for watching! 🙂

What about the oil in the torque converter?

That will remain with the new fluid unfortunately. Another fluid drain would get more out of it though. A flush would totally clear it out. Thanks for watching! 👍

We're glad you found motivation to get your transmission oil change done! I wasn't sure if I had to loosen the exhaust pipe or mount either. It's been a mixed bag between having no problems to having clearance issues, hopefully yours go smoothly as mine went! Good luck! 👍

My 2014 silverado jerking at stops u think its the fluids ?
@TrickShiftGarage8 ай бұрын
Yes, it could be your transmission fluid level is low or the condition of the fluid is bad. We have a video walking you through this process here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mGOpppqfZdRlodE If it doesn't solve the jerking at stops than you should probably take it in to get diagnosed. Hope this helps and thanks for watching! 👍

Hi! If your 2019 has no dipstick, then I'm about 90% certain you have the 8-speed 8L90 transmission and not the 6-speed 6L80 transmission as shown in the video. As far as I know, all trucks with the 6L80 come with dipsticks. Hope this info helps. Thanks for watching! 👍

@@TrickShiftGarage thank you for replying. Do you recommend doing one on a 2015 sierra at 129k miles?
@TrickShiftGarage8 ай бұрын
Sure, you could do one at that mileage. You could check the fluid condition (and level) first to see if it's necessary. We have a video on how to do it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mGOpppqfZdRlodE Basically if the fluid is brown or black with little to no amount of red tint, it's time to change it. If the fluid is mostly red still you have some time. Hope this helps!

Everyone is saying it takes 11 quarts ..
@TrickShiftGarage9 ай бұрын
Thanks for the insight, I heard it was 6 quarts just for a simple drain and fill job, and in my situation I ended up losing 8 quarts...🤷 Either way, always put back the same amount that you drained, then go back and check the fluid level to be sure it's correct. Thanks for watching! 👍
@haydenboyd50509 ай бұрын
Justin - 11 quarts is for when you flush (ie. hook up to the transmission lines & turn it on for about 30sec, you therefore drain another 2-3 quarts on top of the 8 or 9 quarts mentioned in the video). This video was a simple drain & filter/gasket replacement. Not a full flush, of which would take 11 quarts as you stated. Thanks for the video @TrickShiftGarage , I'm thinking about doing this for my new-to-me 2017 Sierra Elevation I bought earlier this year in September. Came with no maintenance records so I'd like to just start fresh with most fluids. It's got slightly warped rotors + it's due for an oil change anyways and one of the ABS wheel speed sensor's is causing all systems, TCS, ABS, Stabilitrak, etc to fail intermittently (they're only $40 each from GMPartsDirect, soo at that price I'll just replace all 4) until it's up to operating temperature and/or 10mins of driving. After that, it's fine. Everything will flash for about 10-15sec then go back to normal. Nothing handles differently, other than the sound of a bunch of dinging for a couple seconds. Weird as shit and a smidge annoying... but yeah, it's one of the abs wheel speed sensors. I'll get to it. I'd like to do a clean sweep once it warms up a little. Also stutters slightly coming to a complete stop going down from 2-1. Fresh ATF should/will solve it. Haven't checked the level either, could be low. & who knows when it was last replaced. Nobody keeps up with the transmission maintenance... Appreciate the informative video, Cheers!

Awesome vid man! Ty! 07 Escalade here and looking to do this soon. I noticed you just used drive on ramps to get under there? Also? After you added the fluid, did you immediately back the truck off the ramps for fluid check? Or did you cycle the gears then back off the truck off the ramps? Im debating whether I can complete this with ramps only? Or do I need to jack up rear of truck as well and complete job as leveled as possible? Is the fluid you used full Sythetic? Thank you!
@TrickShiftGarage9 ай бұрын
Thanks man we appreciate it! Glad its been helpful for you! Yes, I used just drive on ramps, those were bought at harbor freight lol. You shouldn't have to lift the rear of the truck to have access to the transmission pan, you should be able to get by with just the front ramps. After, I added the recommended 6 quarts, I backed it up off the ramps and took for a test drive, being gentle with it because i suspected the fluid level might be low. Once I came back from driving it around, I cycled through all the gears, holding them for a few seconds each, then putting it back in park and the checking the fluid level. I was indeed low so put 2 more quarts in, cycles theough the gaers again, the checked the fluid level and it was finally at a good level. I think I lost 8 quarts due to the truck fluid draining from the torque converter when I let it set for a few days after using the fluid extractor. Either way, it's always a good starting point to put back in the same amount of fluid that drained out, but still always check the fluid level afterwards. The fluid I used was AC Delco's Dexron VI which uses a synthetic based blend but either should work just fine, as long as it meets GM's specifications to be licensed as "Dexron VI". There are better fluid (Amsoil, Valvoline...etc) that use full synthetic formula, its really just up to you and your budget. Hope this helps, if you have any more questions just let us know! Good luck! 👍

Appreciate that share! Hey, when you removed the old transmission filter gasket, were there some knicks left on the mating surface after the removal? Thank you!
@TrickShiftGarage9 ай бұрын
No, there wasn't any knicks, just make sure to be very careful and gentle not to gouge or carve the aluminum (i.e. whole chunks are missing) or the seal won't seal properly. If you lightly scratched or scuffed the surface, it should be fine and still hold. I know taking that seal out was a bit sketchy but sometimes you have to work with the tools you got and make the best of the situation. Make sure to clean up the surface area with brake cleaner on a rag and just wipe it all clean. 😊
