4L60E rebuild thred with pics...need some help
#1


dont know where this damage came from or if it is even significant?

got the pump out

THIS IS WHERE I AM STUCK. THIS PIN SHOULD COME OUT, BUT IT SEEMS ITS WEDGED IN IT'S HOLE. YOU CAN SEE ITS CROOKED IN THE PICTURE. IM GUESSING THIS LIFTS UP THEN THE REVERSE DRUM COMES OUT? THIS ISNT COVERED SPECIFICALLY IN THE MANUAL

That pin holds the band in place. I had to do some clever movements with a screw driver to get it to pop out. The second time i took the transmission apart i got the pin out first because once you remove the pump... the band and reverse input drum doesnt line up anymore. Also when you remove the band take the servo out.
#3
Like stated, thats the anchor pin for the band. Some of them just fall out, and others will fight with you. I would get a small brass hammer and tap it out from the inside. You do have the input housing and reverse input drum out don't you? If not, you can pry the band over that pin, and pull it out. Then just lift up on the input shaft, to pull it all out at once.

I got it out. I had a strong magnet and put it on the pin and pulled up slightly as I hit the case with a rubber mallet. I also wedged a prybar underneath the drum so it was level where it should be. the drum level and the vibration allowed the magnet to pull it out.
I have more pictures to post soon, but I gutted it today.
the output shaft was the casualty, but it also damaged some other components, including the sun gear, which is useless now.
I will post the pictures with more questions tomorrow.

output shaft busted up and some pieces got wedged in the hole. I had to beat the shaft out of the case with a hammer.


i'M ASSUMING THIS HAS TO BE REPLACED?? THESE PIECES LOOK LIKE THEY WERENT SUPPOSED TO BE RUBBING TOGETHER LIKE THAT


SUN GEAR IS TOAST, NEED A NEW ONE.

That is not the sun gear. That is the front planetary.
This is what the sun gear looks like:

That is part of the output shaft. If you can pound it out and the rest of it is not damaged it should still be usable.
I don't like the damage to the input shaft. (the thing with the 3 metal *****). Personally I would replace it but I will let an expert chime in.
Your going to want to definitely replace all the bushings the output shaft rides on because they are probably screwed up now and out of round.

the input shaft as in the shaft/drum? jesus, I though doing it myself would cut down on costs. I may end up buying a unit from FLT after all.
I will be buying a rebuild kit with all seals bushings and bearings. all the brass bushings are shredded.
sorry about the sun gear thing, I know the difference but got the names mixed up.
the rear planetary is okay. I found a front OEM reman. for $60, but I was thinking of upgrading to a 5pinion.
will a 5 pinion fit right in there?
metals and friction discs all look perfect.

A 5 pinion will fit but make sure its not one of the junk after market ones. You don't want to be doing the same job twice.
When I broke my rear ring gear the first time I just dumped in the parts new gaskets and called it a day and it worked out pretty well until I broke something different.
Check the rear planet VERY well. Any pitting, discoloration, rocking in the bearings it should be replaced.
While your in there... upgrade the forward sprag to the dual cage one. Its a cheap upgrade.

From my experience, after an output shaft breaks it shocks ALOT of stuff. I would replace just about everything. Including, both planets, sprag, and the low reverse clutch. Its hard to tell from the pics, but the input shaft/housing looks to be ok. So pretty much, I would replace everything from the input housing down. Just my .02
