2015 Tahoe..Transmission pan

[Jeramia]

New member here, with my first post. Did a search with no results..
I have a 2015 Tahoe 4wd with the 6l80 trans. Want to change the filter. Will the pan drop down without binding into the exhaust cross pipe? Or must I lower the pipe to get the pan out? Thanks Jerry

Can’t help you on the new rigs but welcome.

Very similar to ours Steven, you might need to pry the exhaust crossover pipe down to get the pan in and out Jerry. You can also loosen or remove the bolts on the transmission mount and raise the trans some with a floor jack.

You have to lower the exhaust. I tried prying, moving, and everything else. Three nuts per side and the exhaust drops down. Have fun!

Thanks everyone for the welcome. Sucked about 5 quarts out with my little white ball .So, in the morning I''ll be dropping the pan. Let you know how it goes. Thanks Jerry

Removed the two nuts holding the transmission mount. Use jack to raise back of transmission. Slips right out.
I have a EWK fluid extractor suction pump that I used to remove the oil from out jet ski.
Used this to extract the oil from the trans. When you drop the pan, no mess. Jerry

I had to loosen the 3 bolts on the exhaust flange (not remove it)heading up towards the engine to make wiggle room.
