Removing tail housing on 4L60E
Removing tail housing on 4L60E I need to remove the tail housing on a 4L60E, is there anything in particular to be cautious of or is it a straight forward unbolt & remove?
Thanks,
Mike

Its pretty straight forwards man, just make sure you drain ALL of your trans fluid out first, lol..I made this mistake when I pulled the driveshaft loose because I was in a hurry to get it all out of the car. I think its 6 bolts and it just comes right off.
PS..you will probably want to get a new seal for both locations on the part where the driveshaft connects to the tail housing, and a new rubber seal for the part towards the front of the trans. Coat the rubber seal with oil before and after installation.

You dont have to drain the fluid out. just have the rear of the car slightly higher then the front. a little fluid may come out so have a small bucket in case. but it shouldnt be too messy if you keep the rear a little higher.
pull the driveshaft, you may have to mess with the torque arm mount if its stock, unbolt the tail housing.
