Exellent production; hope to find more videos of the same production and technical quality.
Good video very detailed it walks you through every detail of a complete rebuild.
Vary good, my transmission is back running strong, thanks to this dvd.
This dvd takes you step by step thru rebuilding a 4L60E. It seems very thorough but it's a bit like paint by numbers in it's execution. I realize that one dvd can't explain both the details of a very specific transmission rebuild plus the theory of automatic transmission operation but I do wish that some effort would have went into explaining how a basic automatic transmission ticks. It's difficult to follow through something this technical when the viewer doesn't have a good grasp on basic automatic transmission operation and what role the parts inside an automatic transmission play in making everything work. I would suggest to anyone interested in watching this dvd to first find some information on how automatic transmissions work. This video will show you how to disassemble, inspect parts, replace parts, troubleshoot common failures, and reassemble a 4L60E. If you already know how automatic transmissions work, this could be just what you need. If you've ever tore down a big complicated carburetor and couldn't get the thing to work right when you were done, you might want to skip this until you have a better understanding of the basics. I only watched this dvd once but I did find myself feeling a bit bogged down with all the alien parts inside the transmission and not knowing their functions. The dvd is well made and seems thorough but personally I would not attempt a rebuild on my 4L60E after watching it. I'm leaving 4 stars and you can take that how you want to.
This is a great and informative DVD, very detailed for just what you need to get the job done. What a confidence builder, in conjunction with the ATSG manual. If your on the fence about building your own 4L60E, go ahead and do it. This was my first ever auto trans rebuild, and it went with no problems. Pay close attention to the details and you can't miss. I also rented the other 4l60E DVD from Smartflix at the same time just for two different perspectives. I took a lot from each.
I have rented several DVDs and have saved a bundle of $$$ anyone who is good with hands on work environment and can follow directions can not go wrong with this DVD.
PS, I will be renting more dvds in the future
The picture clarity was fine and the information on the DVD looked like what i was looking for, but since there was no sound, i was unable to get the complete information package that i was looking for. pictures are nice but words sure help a lot. Hopefully, next time I'll be able the hear what's going on.
DVD very informative, even though I have previous built Chevy transmissions, this is highly recommended. I like SmartFlix with its many available DVDs very much! Thanks
Great DVD for casual mechanic. Had some very good examples of what to look for when rebuilding the transmission. A little fast paced because so much information was covered. I rented the DVD just for my own education, but if I were to actually use the DVD for a rebuild, I would have my laptop in the garage and the "pause" and "rewind" buttons handy. Would recommend to anyone.
