4L60E Pan Gasket and Filter Change

[davbell22602]

Careful taking the drain plug out if you havent already, use the exact wrench, no sockets, no adjustable, first time I had someone else do mine they turned the edges right off of it because it seals so tight from the dealer, fWONked my plug up..I too have deep pan, thought about drilling and threading a new plug hole, maybe just buy a new B&M pan kit..dunno, sis lost her job and I'm not allowed to work, money is frickin tight..

Mine doesnt have a drain plug. I have 1st gen 4l60E.

Dude. Just have somebody weld a nut on there, and get the old plug out. It is not a big deal

I used the correct six point socket and it still rounded off. I had to use my Sear's Bolt Out kit to get the drain plug out.

I remember when I did mine, it was bitch and a half to get it off, but I didn't round it off too bad. If I remember right, a 12 point started to round it off, then I used a 6 point and it came off but with MUCH force.

Take the pan off, heat that bolt up and take it off. The next time you drain will be cake.

Cake? I hope I don't drain cake out, that means something failed.

This has been done also. No problems. Just drained pan, removed pan, removed filter, put it back together, torqued pan bolts to 18ft pounds, added trany fluid and shifted it to all gears 2wd/4wd for 15 seconds each gear. Then checked fluid then added if needed.
