Wow. Well. I arrived here because my 01 Tahoe is grinding balls in R. Hope its the transmission. 😅 Thanks to this video series, I've got everything loose and dropped BUT the transmission itself. Beautiful weather in Texas until about an hour ago. Cold and WINDY AF. 😢 Thank you for filming all of this. Will be my transmission odyssey map of success.
Okay so it is possible to install the trans and transfer case separately… only concern is how to tighten the bolts
Just curious. How much would that transmission cost from the supplier?
Im about to put a used, rebuilt trans on my 05 Yukon. What did you reset with the autell. I couldnt here it? Will i need to do that?
Is that an OEM transfer case gasket? I can only find Dorman so far. Thanks!
Did I see him stick his whole finger in-between the torque converter and the flex plate? Was hard to see, but that gap should not be over 3/16 at most
I’m getting a new Jasper transmission put in my 2002 Chev Silverado 4 by 4. Watching these videos gives me a better appreciation of what the mechanics are up against.
Thanks for the excellent videos.
I think repairing older vehicles will be more popular now that the prices of new and used are so ridiculous.
Thanks so much for this in depth video series, I bought an O2 Tahoe for $750 with a bad transmission a week later I was driving it. Right before I bought it I watched the three videos just so I would know exactly what I had to do. We even went back to it just to get some pointers afterwards, so these 3 videos really helped me, this is my first 4×4 so again thank you so much
thanks for the great vid
Does Jasper have a lot of stock?
How does this fellow have such a rust free truck for New York State unless the truck spent the majority of its life in New Mexico?
Do you have to clear code for a new trans to work?
How did you get to that part of the menu on the Autel scanner, I have the same car and scanner and did the transmission replacement but how do I do the transmission adaptations
You showed the pan bolt you took out from the Jasper trans bracket, and mentioned you would give it the "snugga-dugga", but you did not show that you snugged it…..did you forget ?
Great help. Much appreciated!
good job
I know that my wife and I will do everything in our power to keep our vehicles because I will not pay what the ripoff dealers and manufactures are asking for a new or used vehicle. In the next several years there is going to be a lot of vehicles that are unsafe on the roads because people can’t afford different ones !
Thanks for being "the information age."
Is that really worth that money on an old vehicle?
jeez,,,motors toast
Always fun to watch your work. I live in the crunchy midwest..97 blazer with 450k. I’m waiting to come to a quick stop and the body flies off the frame. Main parts have been changed for so long I get them for free because of the lifetime warranty.
what about the oil leak?
Most excellent adventure! As usual
When doing just a rear main seal, is it possible to leave the trans and transfer case together and just push them back far enough to work on the seal?
I once put a locker kit in the transfer case for an engineer at nasa. On backing out of my driveway, I heard a horrible grinding. Pulling it back in, I realized his differential case was bone dry. Next day at work he had the biggest smile on his face, commenting on how nice it drives. I told him that his drive train should never be under water.
Most 4×4 owners think their vehicles are impervious to water.
Jasper Sucks, Lucky to make it much past warranty.
Avoca ny!!
Excellent job and entertaining! Very informative and helpful. New sub here
Nice explanation, however you failed to mention the alignment hole in the flywheel to bolt up the torque converter. I've seen many techs fight trying to align the converter bolts because they didn't know there is one specific hole you start with.
I’ve learned so much from this guy. Keep these videos coming. Thanks Eric.
