This is how a vid should be made. No BS, no silly music, no talk about the dog or whatever. No bull. Thank you Sir.

Hey great video. Honestly looking at all them parts when taking that monster apart gives me chills. When I was 20 years old with no money, I had to do a clutch on a 5 speed Mazda. It was fix it or no car for me. I prayed big time and with gods help it took me 3 weeks to replace the clutch. Back then I had no mechanical inclination, but I did it. I felt so good afterwards. It still brings tears to my eyes. This monster 4L60E is very complicated for me, but I will give it a go and pray for a good result. Thanks for the video friend.

I just wanted to let the people at transmission workbench and everyone know that this was a really detailed and easy to follow 4l60e course! I followed from start to finish and today test drove my Chevy Silverado and my transmission shifts FANTASTIC! Thank you guys for the easy to follow 4l60e course !

Your voice is really listenable. Like I feel like you are Johnny Cash, teaching me the ins and outs of trans repair.

You Sir are the Bob Ross of transmissions they went from scary to no problem thank you

I just sat through your entire teardown and rebuild videos of the 60e and this one. I was scared to death of them. But after seeing your video set, it doesn't look bad at all. Thank you for your time to teach us.

After reviewing your tutorial over the 4L60E rebuild for roughly 2 weeks I decided to tackle mine. Prolly watched each video at least twice and a few even more. I had severely burnt the frictions in the 3-4 clutch pack, broken rear output ring gear teeth that chewed up it's planetary, as well as basically overrun the entire hydromatic system with both chunks of gear teeth and lots of debris from frictions and steel flake. You sir are very organized and meticulous. Very precise and clear instructions along with explanations and examples. Thanks to your video production along with a few technical guides I am stoked to inform that having never began to consider anything transmission related. I have successfully in my first attempt 💯% broke down, cleaned, inspected throughout and replaced all broken &\or suspect components and reinstalled a badass New to me 4L60E with some upgrades. She's shifting better than ever and stronger feeling torque then prior without a doubt. Such an amazing personal victory, my hats off to you and your team. For nearly $800 I'm cruising a 2800$ 4L60E in my 04' Yukon! Many thanks!

best video I have seen in a while,and I was a mechanic for 21 years,I tip my hat to you.

Well Jimmy, we did it. Thanks a million, actually $1938.00, because that is what I actually saved by ordering your basic rebuild kit plus your additional recommendations (drive shell and a few other items). The local transmission shop wanted $2373.00 CAD and your parts with shipping to Canada and taxes was $435.00 CAD (not including fluids). This was the first time I did a tranny rebuild, and with your video's and excellent technical support line it made it a lot easier than anticipated. The hardest part that I encountered was the lip seals in the reverse input clutch housing. I ended up ruining the first set. I picked up another set at the local gm dealer ($12) and found it easier to use a bright light to shine it down along the piston to see where the seal was hanging up and then gently tuck it in at that point with the feeler gauge you recommended. Second time around was a snap compared to the first try. I had a couple other minor issues, but with the online video's it made it easy to go back and review, not to mention the few calls I made to your help line, and this put us right back on track. Thanks again Jimmy, from Noel in Canada.

Excellent cause-effect instructional video. Direct, broad, and solution-based.

I wish transmissions were this clean and oil free to work on.

I am an average DIY guy. Trans work is always so mysterious. This was an awesome explanation. Thank you!

Sir, thank you for your willingness to share with us the problems that most affect our transmissions. You have saved me a lot of expense. My mind was spinning in circles wondering why I was having the problem that you spoke about. My problem is number "3" You expressed all three symptoms exactly as they have occurred in my Astro Van Transmission. Mine is the TCC. I received all the three issues as described. I changed out all the kick-down solenoids anyway. Problem still there. Then I found your video. PROBLEM SOLVED. Thanks greatly. Sincerely, Kerry Smythe

This guy really knows his shift!

The most professional well presented 4lL60E problem video I’ve found . Very well done . Ty

This is probably the most orchestrated and well put-together video I have ever seen on KZfaq. Thank you

why would any asshole give this a negative rating? Flipping trolls. Thanks for this video!

your a bad man, you sure know your stuff Buddy, my respect to you. Keep up the GREAT work. 👍

Excellent! My 4L60E has a very hard shift into 2nd and slips when shifting into 3rd at moderate revs. Now I know why (problems 1 & 3). Thanks for a professional and informative video!

Watched this series of videos when they first came out and rebuilt my 4l60 myself, also bought some of the parts from him, been a couple years and it's still running fine. Thanks very much!!

That was one of the best video about 4l60 I have ever seen

I just sat through this tutorial and all I have to say is thank you. This is by far the best most descriptive video I have ever watched. in just a few minutes all I needed to know was explained.

One of the best produced and most informative videos I've ever seen on KZfaq. Thank you sir!

Simple straight forward information with good visual aids. Not full of slowly removing bolts and imparting personal opinions while I watch. Just good solid info. A+

i hate driving a car with automatic transmission, but since I am a mechanic, I see you are doing great work fixing transmissions. keep up the good work.

Love your videos. Please do more of the diagnosing videos.... thanks for all that you do!

Excellent video! Clear and simple without any nonsense.

I don’t even have one of these and I sat through the whole lesson. Very well done.

94 Tahoe LT 4 door.... You sir just showed me what is probably wrong with my truck..... Let the "fun" begin

4L60E is a very durable transmission as far a the cost to repair, rebuild vs how many applications it's used in. On average I overhaul 3-4 a week and have for a dozen or so years. Quickest I've assembled one once it's been properly hot tanked and cleaned is 1 hour 3 minute that's including all clutch pistons including the Low Reverse.

I wish this guy made all repair videos he is very precise and to the point. Most videos skip parks. I am a back yard or drive way mechanic and work on my own vehicle, so I like things real simple

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.

Your microphone is so good I can hear the gum you're chewing.

excellent video and commentary

Hello I enjoy watching these videos as a young youth 24 year old these videos motivate me.

wowI have been searching for repair and rebuild videos for about two weeks now and this is absolutely the best one so far it makes a difference when you know the name of the parts

Great video! It is for representing the problem and should not be used as a instruction video for disassembly however.

Thank you for the knowledge!

Thank you thank you once again I find this channel to be so exciting just to learn new ways on fixing my trucks. I have I think six or seven Chevy avalanche all the way from 2002 to 2005 I don’t know why but I love those trucks they look so cool I’ve always wanted one when they came out brand new but I could not afford $70,000 that’s what they were valued at that time now if you shop around pretty good you can pick up a pretty decent Chevy avalanche for about $3000 to $6000 which I have purchased. But I know that three of them need a transmission overhaul and I find out that people are selling these next to nothing when the transmission goes out because most shops are asking about $3000-$4000 just to rebuild it and if I can learn how to rebuild them I can get some that are in excellent shape next to nothing. So thank you so much and God bless you and your family and friends and don’t forget Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior is coming back to this earth very soon you can actually see the pre-tribulation times happening all around the world. So my brother please repent so one day you and I can meet in heaven and talk about transmission repairs thank you once again and stay safe we live in a crazy world now and it’s going to get a lot worse. God loves you Jesus loves you and my brother I love you as my brother take care see you soon ✝️✝️✝️🇺🇸

Fantastic video. Smooth and slow enough for me to absorb everything you were saying and showing. Thank you very much. Keep up the good work.

Dang! THIS was a very good and thorough, easy to comprehend vid. I'm subscribing.

Damn.. I feel like I can fix anything now... I’m about mess some stuff up

Top notch answers and info - this should be the template for all videos of it's kind.

This kind of video is what I need, so clear my brain absorbed the informations easily with no questions whatsoever.

Over 310,000 miles I'm happy with the 4L 60 E

you make me want to rebuild my right now

Good stuff right there. Searching for common problems of newer vehicles is the best thing you can learn .

The TCC spring solution only works model years96-99. There is a kit made by Fitzall for the later year models up to '04 PN A74741QA, for 05 and up A74741CB. IMO this is a better solution than the reamer because it is a permanent fix. I've been using it in my Yukon now for a couple of years. The torque converter is either on or off. I can see it work because I know what is happening. Other people driving or riding in the car can't tell the difference. The other advantage is it keeps the transmission cooler, no partial apply (a dumb idea to begin with IMO. I mean if it was a standard trans would you be slipping the clutch?) Nope, either your foot is on the clutch or off, anything else would be considered abuse. Heat is a major contributor to trans failure.

I say we take the engineers who designed this thing and hang em in town square we can all throw broken clutch plates, faulty drive shells and fried tcc regulators at them.

Great video and awesome advice. But what could cause 1-2 delay and flare at WOT only. I need to lift off yhe throttle to get it to change some times?

Simple, no bullshit video with easy to understand and easy how to's, thank you, very much for this! I wish all youtube how to's were this good!!!

Also want to thank you. One of the most useful videos I have ever watched.

I have a question. I have a 1994 Chevy Silverado 1500 series truck with 235,000 mi on the original engine and transmission. Like a dummy I thought I would change the transmission fluid and do my truck a favor. prior to changing the fluid, the truck/transmission shifted flawlessly but, the fluid clearly needed changing, NOW my transmission slips in first gear and slips upon shifting in all gears. Is does this mean my transmission is FRIED or can I adjust something to bring it back to its previous condition?. This is the first vehicle I have ever owned that has an automatic transmission and are not familiar whatsoever with these transmissions.

Thank you sir just popped my first 4l60e about to dive in and tear it down I got no third so you pointed me in the right direction

I had 1600 miles on this Pro rebuild, and symptoms of worn TCC regulator valve, Thank you so much!

Symptom #3 was my issue. Thanks for the info, you saved me a lot of time and money!

Outstanding presentation. Clear, concise, and to the point... Thank you!

I used the teckpak fitzall tcc valve repair. Fixed it from going in and out of od and fixed hard 2nd gear shifts. Been a few years now and still works.

Awesome video! I'm very thankful for the simple straight forward way you talk and show how to in the video

Excellent, easy to follow and understand. Thank you sir for sharing your knowledge with us all. 👍🏻✌🏻

No hassle, straight to the point. Love this. Thank you sir.

Very impressive you took me to directions I did not know as a mechanic you are a great teacher thank you very much for the video

WOW! That video was not only incredibly informative, but also the best video as far as none of the NONSENSE the others put in theirs. Thank you so much for both! 99% of these videos people think they’re a successful comic. Everyone seems to think we want to hear them talk. And the music! Not only don’t we want music, but we definitely don’t want music so loud we can’t hear the actual content. Then there’s the 45 minute introduction. All I can say is dousche-bag to that!

Who is chewing the gum? Man that grinds my gears. Helped me fix my hard shift issue. Thanks!

One of the best videos I've ever seen on this transmission, good job!

Yes the builder did add a heavy duty driveshell and a corvette accumulator. Thanks for your videos they are very good. If I HAD KNOWN ABOUT YOUR VIDEOS I would have rebuilt the transmission myself.

Thank you for getting straight to the point and I'm going to recommend you videos everybody that I talk to

You Sir are a genius. I have never seen such a smooth, easy-to-follow, informative instructional video in my life! You just earned yourself a new subscriber.

what a great series transmission bench produces , well thought out, and very detailed information , i assembles my 700r4 trans using these videos exclusively great job and thank you

ah shit I dont think Ill ever be able to wrap my head around an automatic transmission. Excellent video though, to the point, concise, clear, and no going off track. Beautifully done.

Hello, i am from Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 , i did overall to my 4l60e transmition depending on your vedios. Thank you so much 👋

Very well presented, straight to the point, thankyou!!!

wow . what a great video . direct and straight to the core of problems.i feel smarter already . thank you

Awesome video, no fluff, just business. Thank you

If it wasnt for ur video i would of spent money i dint have too,thanks for ur time to share this.thank u very mutch from mr noodles from el paso tx

I agree guys. Gets to the point. Very educational. Thank you big help!

Excellent video. Well prepared, good camera angles, good narrative.

Incredible, finished my transmission following this guy. A1

Very good explanation ...Thanks ! I put the " Corvette " servo, the Sonnax 1-2 pin-less accumulator piston, and a 11" x 9" Fin & Plate Transmission cooler ....230k on my 2001 Silverado 5.3 LS works great...!

Best of all, this is the video should be made. I am sure he's an expert in this! Thanks sirr!

You the “Bob Ross” of transmissions. Thank you for video.

I love the video he explains it thoroughly couldn't have said it better myself thanks a lot he's a true professional

this helped me so much my 3/4 pack was burned up and a transmission shop was gonna charge me a fortune just too change it now I know how thanks again

Hmm, Hard shift going into second gear and hard shift when moving from park to drive. Also have a p0748 code. This video was helpful in giving me confidence to solving this issue.

thank you, my 02 silverado just started slipping. I feel confident that I can fix it myself now.

Great video. Great narration. Well done and easy to follow and understand. Thank you for posting this!

So in depth, concise, and straightforward. Thanks.

Awesome video. I've seen each problem in real life. One of my favourite transmissions to work on being a Chevy mechanic of that era.

Well done.Really understand the walk through with the narrative done.And i as well have the dreaded No 3rd gear.And you just helped me out learn something new today.Thanks

You make all this look SO easy! Thanks for posting!

I appreciate you dearly for this video I was having a problem with my transmission after it ran low on fluid it stopped going to 3rd and 4th gear I will only get first and second so now I know what to look for thank you

Strait to the point! No BS! Very informative! I'm subscribing! THANK YOU!

This, was very well done video. You sir, have a future in automotive education. Keep them coming.

Thank you for making this video and God bless you!

Had a '97 Jimmy with that 1870 issue, no TCC lockup, hard shifts, CE light on, would only do it after you've driven a while as everything will reset will an ignition cycle (when you park and shut it off everything resets and the whole issue starts over again). The issue is the aluminum bore wears and that piston gets stuck. The ECM calls for TCC lockup and "assumes" that the piston shifts as commanded even though it didn't. The ECM then detects (thru rpm vs VSS) variance in input/output shaft speed (because the TCC isn't locked though it "assumed" it is) and assumes instead that the clutch pack must be slipping, hence it ramps up line pressures and you get the hard shits. Found a shop on eBay that rebuilds the valve bodies with this kit installed and sells them under exchange. Was an easy install, took a couple hours laying on my back, better than new since the new kit (I'm pretty sure) includes a steel wear sleeve for the piston so it really shouldn't ever wear out again. Really is a common problem and really is an easy fix!

Video very well elaborated, direct and object, congratulations !!

A very good instructor and video. Thank you.

Jimmy I really appreciate for your help I replaced it the accumulator housing And the problem in my transmission is solved .1993 suburban it was shifting so Hard from 1-2 and now is shifting good So Thank you very much for your help

I had mine rebuilt and had heavy duty 3rd and 4th clutches installed, a week later it happened again no 3rd or 4th had to shift manually just to get to second. I glanced at my gauges when this happened, check engine, abs, tach and speedometer where going crazy. Took it back, informed him what I saw, he replaced speed sensor and pigtail for sensor and it worked perfect after that, no more problems, finally fixed.

I bow in your presence! Thank you!
