Well we got a little of topic today. Kinda, this was a lot of fun to do. Starting this we move the transmission under the vehicle and get right to work. While installing a used transmission is not something we typically do in our shop sometimes ya just gotta. The first step for install was to get the bellhousing matted to the back of the engine. Easing the transmission up flush we were able to make sure then converter had clearance to turn and that there were no wires being pinched or lines in the way. Now that we're matted together it's time to get to business, putting in the converter bolts can be a bit of a hassle but they have to be there. We work our way all the way from converter bolts right down to the the starter. After installing the starter and knock sensor and respective wiring we can move to the front engine mount. Once the mount is in we can get the axle shafts into position. Step by step this vehicle came right together. We really had a great time installing the transmission. Thanks for watching.

but I mean that mine is the same and I want to lower the transmission and my question is, should I remove the 4×4 awd transfer to be able to separate the transmission from the flywheels?

Can you help diagnose? No reverse. When i switch to manual mode and set to 4. I can drive smooth 1-4. If I set to 5. It will shift ok all the way to 4, then try to get into 5 and then jerks back down to 4 and then forces out of manual mode. I can not re enter manual mode until I stop vehicle and turn off engine...any thoughts?

Can you tell me if I just replaced the torque converter, do I still need to take it to the dealer for reprogramming. I did have the battery unhooked for about a 4 days.

What is holding the engine up when the cross member and the motor mounts aren't in?

Excellent and helpful if I need to do the transmission in my daughter's Traverse. Only one question. With the cradle and most mounts removed, does the engine need to be temporarily supported from above? If so, what method did you use? Thanks.

@expressautotransmissiondav4207 2 жыл бұрын

It does need support I use a engine hanger that I purchased from AutoZone.

@johnallen1901 2 жыл бұрын

On these units do you ever need to shim the converter to keep it from pulling too far forward? Awesome video by the way.

Can you tell me the symptoms of a 1, 2, 3, 4 drum failure? I've got an 09 that's slipping horribly in 1st, sometimes does not engage, and has a shudder in the lower gears. Sounds like this may be my issue. Would it be possible to just replace those in the transmission or would a torque converter be required too?

I would be inspecting pressure switches first.

@@expressautotransmissiondav4207 Those all tested fine with an ohm meter and I replaced the seals with the Sonnax kit. No change in symptoms. Edit: I did have a pressure switch related code that lead me to that first actually. The code didn't come back, if that matters.

@expressautotransmissiondav4207 looked good. Still red, not burnt. I do drain and fills every 30k miles anyways. I did send a sample to Blackstone too, but I won't hear back for a week or so.

Hey, I have a torque converter out on a 2016 buick regal with this trans, is there room enough to do that without dropping the whole cradle? Just looking to not do unnecessary work if I can avoid it.

@expressautotransmissiondav4207 that's what I was figuring. But never hurts to dream. I just wS looking around at the car, and it's pretty tight in there, no real room to wiggle it around. Thanks anyway! And thanks for the video, I'm sure it's going to be a useful tool in my endeavor.

Absolutely those regals.are fun to pull out. Two major things make sure the radiator and cooling system are tied up they are supported by the cradle also make sure the exhaust is.unbolted at manifold and from center collector and that cradle will just about fall out with ease..
