Welcome to the Trick Shift Garage! In this video, we'll show you how to change the fluid and filter on GM's 6L80 transmission using our 2015 Chevrolet Silverado. There were a lot of trucks and SUVs that utilize this transmission including the Full-Size Trucks and SUVs, namely the Tahoe, Yukon, Suburban & Yukon XL, as well as GM's Full-Size vans like the Express and Savana. This video will also show in detail, how to remove the transmission pan without moving any exhaust components. It will also show you how to remove the rubber gasket for the transmission filter neck, which is difficult to reach. Thanks for Watching!

I also think this is the best video that I have seen for this procedure. I have seen one where it called for using a tie down strap to pull down on the exhaust to get the pan off but it never talked about removing the heat shield. I am going to be doing a filter change soon and this video has been an excellent help.

This is one of the best videos that I have seen on replacing the filter and seal on a 6L80 transmission that I have seen. It makes the task so much easier. Today I replaced my oil pan and filter on my 2014 Silverado. The pan came right off with ease. And went back on the same way. The hardest part was replacing the filter seal. I didn’t pay close enough attention to the install. I didn’t invert the socket and I bent the seal and had to buy another one. Thanks to the creator.

I've done a bunch of transmission filters on the 6L 90 if the filter stays in the gasket with no issues you don't need to replace it if it will fall out easy then replace it but if it's a firm pop in with the new filter leave the old gasket in there.. you run the risk of damaging stuff if you try to pry it out

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!! 👍

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.

@TrickShiftGarage 11 күн 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! 🙂

We have a video on how to do it here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mJh2qMqaldWWm6M.html Basically if the fluid is brown or black with little to no amount of red tint, it's time to change it.

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!

@TrickShiftGarage 8 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! 👍

@TrickShiftGarage 8 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. 😊

@saldanagaona Күн бұрын

Love the video, but I think I am probably the only person who has a complaint. 2015 Chevy Silverado 1500. Removing the pan is simple up until you try and shimmy the cover off. Maybe a different type of exhaust system it looks the same but the clearance is not because I can't for the life of me get the cover on as it is snagging on that corner device that youre clearlyy shimmying around in the video. There seems to be a 1/4" difference. Did you drop the exhaust pipes at all?

Hello! It's recommended to replace the round gasket for the filter on each change. I spent about $130 for the fluid, filter and gaskets (including the pan gasket). The Chevrolet dealership nearby quoted me $515 for this job. So overall, you would save around $400 by doing this yourself. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching! 😊

My arm blocked the camera view completely as I was rotating the pan around so I cut that out so you wouldn't have to see my arm, sorry! Basically I slid the pan over toward the passenger side first, the lowered it what I could and rotated the front portion toward the driver side. Just go slow and it should come out. Hope this helps!

No, mine wasn't having any issues, it was just time for a change. I suggest checking the fluid level and making sure it's at the right level, also check the fluid condition, if it's dark brown or black it's time to change it. $8k is a lot of money so I'd try to change the fluid and filter and see if that fixes the slipping. Hope this helps, good luck! 👍

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. It would not clear without losening the exhaust. You are a lucky guy that the pan came off like this. Go buy a loto ticket haha

Sorry to hear that! You could try a pry bar and force the exhaust pipe downwards or use a ratchet strap with a jack. You could also loosen the bolts up by the exhaust manifold on each side, I don't think you need to remove the bolts completely but not sure. Hope this helps you and good luck!

@TrickShiftGarage 7 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! 👍

@haydenboyd5050 7 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!

What make, model, engine and year is yours? Also is it 4WD. I have saw the horror stories of pans not clearing the exhaust. They are apparently different clearances between trucks. I have a 2016 with 45K miles and pumped the fluid out at 36K thru the dipstick and replaced what I extracted which I think was like 5 quarts. Trying to get courage up to drop pan and inspect for metal on magnet as I decide whether to take to shop and upgrade torque convertor to hopefully one that will last. A lot of buddies have had this trans fail from 70K - 120K and spending about a thousand on the torque convertor swap sure beats the 4K they are spending. It's now IF these transmisison will fail, it's when. GM should be hit with class action suit.
