    Doing any kind of transmission repair work seem really difficult. I am not sure how you would remove one from your car without damaging it. my brother in law tried to do this himself a while ago and he ended up hurting his hand trying to get it out of this car. It seems like the best solution is to take it to a professional.http://www.bertstransmissions.net

    The process seems like a challenging task. If you need a reliable replacement, considering a monster transmission could be a suitable option. It's important to follow proper procedures and take necessary safety precautions during the removal process. Seek professional guidance or refer to reputable resources to ensure a successful transmission replacement. Best of luck with the repair!

SOURCE: windshield wiper arm

These are a tight fit...Spray a little penetrating lubricant onto it and let it sit for about 20 minutes. You will notice there are splines that match up from the drive unit to the base of the wiper arm...sometimes these can get a little corroded and becasue of the relative surface area it makes them a real pain to get off. You may need to just pry against it gently with a flat head scredriver after you spray on the lubricant. Pray at it from all different sides of the base so that it doesn't bind up and get crooked.

Hope this helps! Good Luck!

2002 GMC Yukon MPH AND ODOMETER NOT WORKING

Remove the speed sensor and look in the hole, are there teeth in there and do they move with the vehicle, this really sounds like a speed sensor problem so if all appears good including checking the wires with a continuity tester get a new sensor.

Dropping transmission 2002 GMC yukon

Dropping this on the ground is loads of fun. First, you don't have to raise the truck until your ready to pull the transmission out from under it. But you can if you want to. Here we go. Drain the transmission and T case, remove the drive shafts, put a jack under the transmission and lift some. remove the trans mount nuts, remove the cross member. Let the jack down. Remove the nuts for the T case. Jack it back up, pull the T case and secure it with straps to anything in the back, pull it tight and let it hang there. remove the starter, pull it out of the way.let it hang. remove the toque converter bolts. Remove the electrical lines and cooler lines. Remove the bolts from the trans to engine. Pull it out.
