Thread: Transmission weight

Does anyone happen to know the weight of a 4T65eHD transmission full of fluid with Diff? Im picking one up friday and i need to know if ill need the cherry picker or not

My friend picked up mine (no fluid but complete) from the back of a Dakota and walked it into my back yard for me, by himself. I'd say under 200 lbs. Two guys no prob.

That makes me feel a little better lol. It should be no problem then. Thank you

Full of fluid + torque converter? Pickable by hand, but definitely a 2 man job.

Dry no converter is 160lbs.

bill and i humped my old tranny into the back of his truck. i took the heavy side, and bill said a tranny never felt so light with me on the other side lol

if need be, i could hump it into the back of a truck solo, converter and all. i also pulled a short block off the stand, put it on the floor, then humped it back on the stand. solo. so im a good grunt when need be lol

I've hefted transmissions (still full of fluid) out of GP trunks alone. Shortblock.. ehhhh I've learned my lessons, that's what hoists are for.

i failed to own a hoist at that time. i took it off to do the rear cover. flipped it over, then put it on a tire. the cylinders make nice hand holds.

I made a notch in my trans support bracket.. so I could put the hook in the exact spot of balance every time.

I should sell that bracket for big moola.

Naa. I have at least two trans build/installs in the future, so I would need it long term.

BUT... I would be very much interested in some pictures with measurements.

F that bs. My trans felt like a fat pig. I slid it around on a pallet most of the time but still - f trying to carry it!

that was another fun venture - tying to balance the trans. Good to know for future reference if I ever take it out through the top again
