Rebuilt 4l60e already leaking from this spot

[Dannothemanno]

What's weird to me is if the 700r4/4l60e is the same thing and most of us hate it why do offroaders like using them in their rigs

This does not fix the inherit flaw of the 4l60 when there is serious torque going to it. Crash/bang shift kits or serious torque will eventually break the drum even with the ring on it.

Really? Come on man. What does this have to do with the OP's post.

I don't mind but they better have answers to my questions

I've cleaned up this thread. Let's try and keep the thread on topic and free of the personal insults and middle school maturity off this forum.

So I called the transmission shop today and they said they removed the transmission from the truck because they smelt a burnt smell when they were checking the oil and they also told me the reason why it was leaking from where the connector goes is because I pushed the connector down too hard and it was also loose because I pulled the connector off too hard as well

So it sounds like they are going to blame you and setting you up to for a hefty bill??

So I called it. Internal harness was junk. The tangs were shot when they put it back together if they reused the original. If it was a new harness then you did push too hard. Likely that they reused the harness, but you'll never know at this point. Like I said, when I rebuilt my 4L80 I ended up dropping the pan shortly thereafter to swap that harness. I first potted the back side with grey RTV and it's been flawless since.

Sounds like it but what was I supposed to do it was the only way for me to take it to them and it was leaking before I put that plug in

Dont remember pushing down too hard When I plugged it in I never heard a click and it felt like loose

Nothing. You did the only thing you could do
