My 2000 Yukon is approaching 50,000 miles and I want to service the transmission soon. I have never done this procedure before, but I would like to do the work myself if possible.  I have several questions that I was hoping some of you who have done this work could help answer for me:

 

1. For regular maintenance, should I do a full flush or just drop the pan and do a fluid and filter change?  

2. What is the procedure for the full flush, and what tools do I need to do it?  My Haynes manual only seems to have the procedure for the pan drop/fluid & filter change.

3. I’ve read some posts about needing to change the pressure regulator boost vale and sleeve (about $50 in parts) because many of the 4L60E trannys have gone bad at 50K+ miles because of this part wearing out.  Is this necessary?  If I need to do this, what are the part numbers for these parts?  Has anyone else done this – if so, what’s the procedure?

4. What brand of ATF do you use?  I think I’d like to go with a synthetic…

5. How many quarts ATF do I need for the full flush or for just the pan drop?

6. What brand filter do you use?  What is the part number for it?  Do I need a special filter to go with synthetic ATF?

7. What is the part number for the pan gasket?

8. What kind of gasket sealant should I buy – obviously something that’s not permanent, right?

9. What kind of solvent do I need to clean the pan with?

10. Are there any other parts (other than fluid, filter & filter seal, and gasket) that I need for the job?

 

I know this is a lot of questions – thanks for helping me out.  Since this is my first time doing this job, if you have done this before and have any advice, tips, etc. that you think would be of help, I’d love to hear ‘em.  Thanks!

Can anyone help out with my questions in the above post?  Also, I read on another post that the issue in #3 is jsut a way for transmission service companies to make money -- a reputable tranny shop said it's not a problem.

      Shift to Park Message Warranty Claim

      By newdude · Posted

      We've done a bunch of them.  Very common failure.  They don't sell the park position switch separate from the shift control assembly which is stupid, because they ended up selling a switch on some other products like 2016-2019 Malibu, 2018-2019 Traverse, 2019 Blazer, and another car or two as those were having the same issue for years (but these have a console mounted shifter not column mounted).

      Winter Returned

      .30” of rain all month and it’s been weeks since that. “Mowed” our two properties today for the first time since July 2nd. It only took 30 minutes because all I had to do was level some weeds and saplings in a few problem areas. Everything else is dead.

      Shift to Park Message Warranty Claim

      By tjonesdfw · Posted

      Dealer reported a failed shifter module assembly so the whole shifter is getting replaced. Yet another premature repair… up to $12,000+ in extended warranty payout in only 5 years and 80,000 miles!

      2021 with Intermittent AC Cooling Issues

      By tjonesdfw · Posted

      According to the dealer it’s an internal leak/failure of the compressor.  Again, another failure that shouldn’t happen at only 5 years and 80k miles.  For some reason the compressors must be hard to come by right now, because the truck’s been at the dealer almost a week and they just located a compressor at another dealer several states away today.  We’ll see if this fixes the issue.

      Brake Bleed Procedure

      By needafix · Posted

      I'm not sure if this should be a reply on this thread or a new topic, let me know if it's out of place. This my first post. Thanks 85077522 - ACDelco GM Genuine Parts Brake Master Cylinders. Anyone else had to replace this brake master cylinder yet. I didn't do any brake work, it looks like new parts and I've had the truck for about 4k miles. When it started to throw codes I did the calibrations with a bidirectional scanner and got the codes to clear but they came back so i did the routine; base bleed, automated bleed and final base bleed. All that with Bosch ES16-32N fluid (please look it up). That seemed to fix it but 100ish miles later it failed again so I ran the same process but with a pressure bleeder this time and got the same results, fixed for 100ish miles. The original fluid looked bad and I thought I got most of it out. The codes; P25A2, C05B0-00, C2A1B. I can get them to clear but not for long. The C05B0 indicates a leak in the front circuit (which is bone dry) so I'm thinking of doing the bleed process on that front again today and I don't know if that's taboo to just do the front but at this point it seems like it's worth the try anyway. The new master cylinder/module unit is supposed to get here today. But now I'm pretty much convinced this install is over my head. I've called several shops and some mobile guys that I know but this thing is like radio active material scary wise. I did get 2 local shops say they should be able to do it, one says he has the SPS2 programing capability. And with the battery disconnected is there supposed to be pedal resistance, mine is to the floor, then if I pump it I can get some resistance.
