2002 Yukon, 140k miles, Fixing up over time

[tgui]

Some water in the pan after a TON of cleaning. Otherwise everything looks nice I think? This is the first ever trans pan I've dropped. From what I read the color is good, not burned smelling and not a ton of debris in the oil and nothing major on the magnet. 15k-30k miles on this trans from a HD truck with a 454.

Thoughts?





This is how I did it without a proper stand. I of course made a mess but I really really wanted to see everything that came out without disturbing the pan too much.

Got some ebay parts.

Trans dust cover cheap, needs cleaning.


Front driveshaft from a HD truck. This is long enough.




4x4 end thingie for the trans. (transfer case adapter) Now I need a shorter 4x4 output shaft.


Baby steps...

Tear down. Found the wiring harness main connector to be damaged, I'll replace the whole harness just in case. Everything else is looking good.

Random pics, not terribly interesting:

Big picture pic to help remember where things go.





To get the valve switch (I think its called) don't yank as o-rings might come off or get damaged. Twist and rotate down and it comes off.




Check balls out and inspected. Look OK. Dinner time...

Still going slow on the trans. I did get my hands on the dust cover. It appears the flexplate exploded. No joke. Edged are chipped off and the housing is a tad cracked. Nothing to stop it from working though. Anywho I was able to clean it up nicely.
