I knew it do you forgot to put one spring 8:58 good luck. really helping video to
Thank you for the great video. Do you have a part number for the drain plug you installed? Also is there a reason why you didn't change the shift solenoids?
I would've installed a deeper aluminum transmission pan with a drain plug?
You helped me decide whether I want to drop the valve body just to do the pinless piston in the 3-4 accumulator. And whether check balls will fall out from the tranny above (the horror). With all your upgrades, you chose to keep the 3 plastic accumulator pistons unchanged. I really don't wanna drop the valve body, cause I'm scared of going that deep. Would it be dumb to upgrade only the 1-2 and FWD accumulator pistons?
wrong filter
the anser is 8HP70 baby
Why didnt you change the pistons out with metal ones those gm plastic pistons always crack. And a corvette servo would help as well
Know this old, but where can i buy that plug retrofit for the pan?
Should've replaced the plastic accumulator with a Sonnex one
Lol dude put the wrong filter in
I know in this video is 2 years old but I need to say something. They used the wrong valve body and case gaskets. and the separator Plate is a round hole square hole and the gaskets they used are a around hole round hole. the lockup will not work correctly and eventually cooked the transmission. And the icing on the cake they use a shallow filter on a deep pan. Nice way to starve it of fluid and send it off to a quick death.
Will a shift kit increase transmission life?
Don't put the plastic accumulator piston back in. Go with an aluminum no hole one. They don't cost that much when doing an upgrade like this.

What kinda made up word is lifted?
Why would you reinstall used plastic pistons? Those need to go in the trash
Is there a reason the 3-4 accumulator spring was not installed?
How long did sum like this take
They put the wrong filter in the Transmission. It should of had the deep pan filter.
And if you don't want to get your hands dirty you can use a Diablo tuner and just add shift psi and put your shift points exactly where you want them. Im not saying it will do your 4L60E any favors but you can very easily improve your E.T. by doing this.
Everything wrong about this video.
1- wrong filter used
2-wrong gaskets installed
3- not replacing plastic pistons.
4- not upgrading worn boost valve.
WTH POWERNATION?

This is a recipe for disaster.
This video is full of incorrect info.
What a recipe for disaster!!
the forward accumulator piston should be replaced with alum. before adding that increased pressure spring plastic piston will crack
I see there are a few" I knowed everytin about Transmissions, and I knowed that a torque wrench with a extension will read wrong, thypes here. Myth Busted see https://agradetools.com/torque-wrench-myth-busted/
Some observations; First he removes the magnet from the pan after saying what a great innovation it is, noting that he will put the drain plug in its place. Hmm is the drain plug magnetic? I guess it really doesn't matter because he places the drain plug several inches from the magnets location. The magnet should never be removed unless it has deteriorated to the point it needs to be replaced. Second, the pistons are both plastic, and should always be replaced with aluminum pistons. The center hole in the piston wears and gets oblong. causing a leak and pressure loss. Third, you installed the shallow pan filter which will not pickup fluid like the deep pan filter you took off and should have replaced. This filter also may use a different plastic round retainer that will not fit the smaller filter causing it to fall of and may cause catastrophic damage to the unit.
I’m looking for the first episode on this truck
I thought sure you would replace that plastic forward accumulator piston sine you went to that much trouble.
Need to take that piston with the pin in it a toss it in the trashcan and get a sunex pinless piston kit
Replace that crappy plastic piston in that 4L60E! Sonnex makes an aluminum replacement for cheap and it has a double O-ring for batter sealing and stability. After all, you're trying to improve longevity and plastic has no business in that heat-soak environment. I really liked the end result of that flat black paint job.
That single cab is so frickin beautiful 😍
Factory drain is located at the indent in front of the magnet. That's the proper location. Why wouldn't you research this. So ignorant of the show
4l60e .. rebuilt to many of those in school
Richard from Precision Transmission should make a reaction video for this. He'd just about have a heart attack, starting with that cheap Chinese drain plug that leaves like 2 liters and all the debris in the pan.
Please dont go by this video. Please
2 holes in the plate align the plate to the trans.
VALVE BODY GASKETS. OLDER SAY V AND C. NEWER ONES. VB. CA. PAY ATTENTION
Plastic screens on your separator plate can collapse and clog
Check your solenoid o rings. They leak
Pressure regulator. Its called a boost valve. They wear, sonnax sells a new one. That will work with this shift kit
HAAAA they put the wrong filter in. They put a shallow pan filter in. They had a deep pan. Lol. Bull ish show
Pull your cooler lines blow air both ways. Intro a clear container. Look for debris in the cooler. Might need a converter
