Budget Turbo Yukon XL 4L80 Conversion (Part 2): Prep For Boosted Power! TransGo HD2 ShiftKit Install

What happens here

After the pan is removed, locate and detach the transmission filter. Typically, these filters are just pressed into place and can be carefully pulled off. Next, use an appropriate tool (like a small pick or screwdriver) to remove the wiring harness and pickup tube from the valve body. These components will be reinstalled later.

Goal: Access the valve body for modification by removing the filter and associated components.

Tools and materials

  • Pickup Tube — Fluid intake for the valve body
  • Small Pick Tool/Screwdriver — Removing clips and harnesses
  • Transmission Filter — Filtering transmission fluid
  • Wiring Harness — Internal electrical connections

these things in a stock 4l80 are a really good combination for holding some good power so that's what we're gonna do i'm gonna be learning this right right alongside you guys i've never done it before um i assembled the 4l80 once years ago following a manual and it worked but i don't really remember a whole lot about it from what i understand ashton the tech here told me he did this to his transmission but he followed the sloppy mechanics
