Transmission Bench is the BOMB !

I have rebuilt 2 transmissions and currently working on my third and I have to say I don't think I could have done it without your help. I will forever be indebted to you for your knowledge and patient style of teaching/explaining. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

25:24 18 N*m = 159 in*pounds, not 100. (I verified in the manual for it to be 17N*m, so who the hell knows).

For those of you who DO NOT have a broken Overdrive Piston Retainer, you DO NOT use an O-Ring/it is not supplied in the kit. The OEM Part # is 52118180, the revised/updated part with the O-Ring is Part # 52117975.

Completely ruined my assembly pressing it in. Did everything to the letter. I highly recommend to anyone doing this section to buy the plastic piece Mopar wants you to buy, especially if you have to then use a homemade welded tripod that may not be exactly perfect. The tool is Part # 6227-2, and is called the "Dodge Alignment OD Section Tool." I did the method with removing the intermediate shaft as described and ruined my transmission. Spend the $25 on this tool. In addition, some things to add: When you spin the assembly freely at 34:45, a little wobble is normal (and can even be seen in the video), I spent way too long trying to see if that was something I messed up on. Use ATF +4 to soak, not DEX like is shown. Also, for those with 4WD vice 2WD, everything seemed the same except the bushing at the tail housing (which is not used), and the seal at that end is different (but was supplied in the kit). I couldn't do any of this without these videos, but learn from my mistakes and just get the darn alignment tool.

I wish more people did exactly what this guy does in his videos no unnecessary crap just the mission at hand and how to do it the right way. Wisest guy I’ve ever listened to other than myself. Don’t forget it ! FIX IT! 👍🏻

Really your great thanks

THE COMPRESOR ARE IN GOOD PRICE

this guy is the Bob Ross of transmissions

I used your program to rebuild my 4l60e and am so thankful. It was so easy to follow and I was back up and running..... but now I'm about to need one for my 8l90. Do you plan on making a video on these newer transmissions?

My rev clutch clearance is .100+ with the 3 frictions and 2 steels. My clip is .075". I have another steel, but its .070" so that would be to tight. Any suggestions on how to bring the clearance into specs?

After I snug the pump bolts that's when it gets really hard to turn?

I have to say the pursuit of happiness reference really got me motivated to re build mine. Been debating on taking it to a shop but screw that I’d rather just pay for the re build kit. Is there any recommendation for a master rebuild kit coming off a 302 f150 1994 4r70w

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

Amazingly easy to follow video, thank you and Gobless you 🙏

Thanks Jimmy We Shifting Now! First time building a unit and plenty more to come 🔥🔥🔥🔥💯🫡

mines a 1997 chevy astro van BUT the Bell housing is not one piece!! like the one you Showed for the 1997 Mines made up of 2 pieces!! must have been a A change in that year 1997!!!! just thought i pointed Out!!!

Great video. Who is chewing gum though? Him or the camera guy? 😂 notwithstanding, excellent information 👍

Great Videos! I have a question, problem with my tranny is it's difficult to engage drive or 1st when hot.. (not so much when cold) Is there something i can replace on the bottom half where the ball bearing go that somehow affect oil pressure to the internal part of the tanny? Or do you recommend just tearing it all apart wich someday i will eventually have to do?

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I have a dodge van. I think it is not if but when the transmission will fail. I have talked to a former chrysler tech friend who says it can’t be done at home. Looked at another video that says you can’t. I’m interested in seeing if i CAN do it at home.

Ny transmission didn't have that steel spring damperner and I can't find it anywhere

God bless you sir , thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience

Hi Jim good morning Sir would you consider doing a hi performance build on the 4L60E and the same for dodge transmission like in the 1999 durango videos just like you did on the 4L80E , I will surely buy the vids , I work on alot of these vehicles and would love to build hi performance transmissions for them as I'm asked frequently, Thank You Sir I love the 4L80E vid I purchased from you

The bottom of your case inside looks smooth. Mine (k1500- 1995) seems to have many casting lines(hopefully not cracks!) on the non-machined surfaces . No leakage, are these normal?

Jimmy you are my Savior sir any way we can help donate to channel!

Great, clean video. That’s exactly what I am looking for. Reasons and results are clearly explained. I have the same problem with the second. Now I understand what part of transmission makes it. Thank you very much.

i want to say the bigger checkball on the begining of the gearcase ,not the smaller 7 checkballs , sorry , thank you

hallo , im a follower from italy , i want ask you , i lost the" eight quarter inch checkball "on the case accumulater of an 4l60e from 1999 , from an gmc sierra , 5328ccm,198kw ,lm2 motor ......is the checkball ever 8quarter inch measure , thank you for time

All I can say Is wow and thank you very much for this.

I really enjoy this mans knowledge that he puts into his videos and the amazing details. I have successfully rebuilt my own 4r70w transmission and now I have plenty of confidence in trying my second rebuild and its going to be a 46re. I know watching transmission bench videos I will have no issues. Thanks again

So I’ve used your videos and immediately upon removing the pump I don’t have a shift clunk clip. The trans has never been removed or serviced. Nobody even changed the fluid at 180,000. Could the clip fall inside?

Pliz do a video rebuilding GM 5l40e

Where is #6 and 7 in this series?

Love these videos!

Excellent instruction! Thanks for posting and explaining the transmission identification

How many miles did this transmission have

@27:00

Thank you so much for this series, it was a major tool for me in rebuilding my 46re. God bless.

Thank good teacher nice excellent intruccion to yhe people.thank good work. Said juan look hete now..

Nice video. Would you do anything differently if you did it again? I have a 05 4x4 Yukon 5.3L. 233,000 miles. Looking to get a used cheap broken 4L60/65/70 to rebuild with my teen as a DIY learning project. To have ready. I found a used one for $60, with nothing but Reverse working. Thanks!

Excelente maestro

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.

So far very helpful!

Excellent video! Clear and simple without any nonsense.

Great video series by this gentleman. Just found him while i was looking to rebuild my transmission myself. Thanks sir

He is a true teacher

Sir thankyou so much for tutorial ❤

this is insane to be free .....

The absolutely best source of info on automatic trans rebuilding. Had not seen anything better. Hope YT will not lose it for years to come. James Williams did an outstanding work.
