Anyone rebuilt a 4L60E auto at home ?

[greenacc]

Basically, is this possible ? my box has done 241 000 k's and it has started slipping and doing funny things. I want to rebuild it myself if its possible. Buy a rebuild kit and maybe a book and set to work ...
What do you think ? Would it need a full rebuild or just clutches and band ?
opinions welcome, specially if you have tried it, and failed or succeded. Thanks:thumbsup:

iv read up a fair bit about this..

and the conclusion i was given.. is unless i have alot of experience with autos.. dont bother

its a very complicated trans apparently

thus the reason im going second hand =D

Is it actually rooted? Or just slipping? Some times a full auto service and new fluid etc will fix that right up

 

[greenacc]

main prob is slipping, also sometimes holds gear, sometimes changes up too soon and kinda jumps into gear. isn't a full auto service on these just a filter and fluid ? but hey, i have a spare bottle of fluid here ... maybe worth throwing it in anyway.

Look on YouTube - there are quite a few instructional clips on there about doing exactly what you propose and they are done by people who know what they're talking about. Plus a search on Googleand also check the 'similar threads' at the bottom of this page. I've always wanted to do a full rebuild but I'm too damn conservative in my old age.
Good Luck.

its possible, but you will need to make a few special tools up, the best advice has allready been given by Hako research everything first my friend.

i check out some of the clips on Utube of people working on these boxes. They make it look so easy.. soo tempting

The ideal way would be to get a secondhand transmission that you could take your time over pulling it apart properly. There is nothing worse than have time limits. Would also be great to have a proper workbench and a concrete floor.

Whats do i use the concrete floor for ?
