4l60e rebuild difficulty?
Curious the difficulty of rebuilding a 2000 4L60E transmission? I am planning on doing it in a couple weeks while I swap my engine. How long would it typically take? I would get a new transmission but due to time and money, that is not an option :(
I have rebuilt a 700R4 around 5 or 6years ago. I am looking at getting this kit - GM 4L60E Transmission Overhaul Rebuild Kit 97 Up | eBay Trying to stay somewhat cheaper then a new transmission, like $300 tops maybe. |
You can do it in a few hours if you have all the right tools. Some them snap rings can be a bugger.

I have no idea on previous history of the transmission other then the owner took extremely good care and always did the maintenance before it was due. |
Good question..
Replace all the wear parts and go from there? I dont trust them. If you dont have all the right tools then expect a few days and hope you dont get anything mixed up. |

Also figured I would replace with a new sunshell with the hardened splines, only $30. For the tools I have access to most everything I should need so tools should be covered. Edit - I really wish I could do the 4L80 swap, but looks like a rebuild is cheaper and more attainable at this point in time...... |
The one i just did for my z71 tahoe. i took all the clutchs out and if the were worn i put new ones in. Swapped in a 4WD output shaft, new filter and gaskets/orings in it and it works. have no clue for how long tho.
This transmission was freshened up and had a Transgo Shift kit and Sonnax 2-4 servo prolly 20k miles ago. I had no idea what i was doin but i tried it :lol: Did the same thing for the 60E in my Samurai. I have a stock 4wd 4L80E in my shop just incase :D for a stock 4.8 theres no need for a 5 pinion planetary.. it just spreads the load out on an extra pinion. |
The fun part is hoping it works when its put back in.. :dewey:

I got looking at a few more rebuild kits and I think this one is the better of them - GM 4L60E Transmission Overhaul Rebuild Kit 97 Up | eBay Plus the hardened sunshell, aluminum accumulator pistons, and possibly a shift kit? I already have the vette servo that I will reuse - only been in maybe 12k miles. |

With this transmission I will take my time and make sure its all 100%. |
the 4l60 is almost identical to the 700. youll notice the aluminum V/B. if i were you replace the pump, case and tailshaft bushings, get the beast reaction shell, replace the sprags, get the kevlar 2-5/8 2-4 band, vette servo, .500 boost valve, unbreakable ring kit, torrington bearing kit, and a master overhaul kit. if you have done the 700 this will be a piece of cake. oh yeah they offer a pump vane kit. i use transmissionpartsusa.com but im sure there are other places
