Hey guys, looking to drop the trans pan on my 2000 k3500. It's got the 4l80e.
Some videos show removing the shift bracket, it sure doesn't look like I need to. I will have to unbolt the trans from the cross-member and jack it up to get the rear few trans pan bolts it appears. I bought a new trans bushing/mount anyway. The bushing looks good, but I've slowly been reconditioning this truck over the past year. I figure since I'm in there, do what needs to be done.
My pan bolts look to be a bit rusty, I bought a new bolt pan kit. I have the filter, and 8 qts of fluid. I'd like to get this done before it gets too cold and I start plowing.
Can anyone confirm if I need to remove the shift linkage? That looks like it will be not enjoyable.
