Tranny tube broke

[kbayer]

Does any one know how to get the old tube out, I lifted it enough to get the fluid draining out but it wont go any higher or twist . Do I need to remove the tranny cross member. It broke just above the weld point for the hold down. Being the tranny is a k2500 the tube has more bends in it than the k1500.

Welcome to TDP :D :D

You can probably get more room by lowering the back of the tranny (Remove the Xmember)

Hope this helps

I think there is a bellhousing bolt going through a lower bracket as well. I had this same thing happen but it was a few years ago so memory is a bit hazy. I remember reading posts about this saying it was a major pia but i think the whole deal took 1/2 hr. I ended up bending the upper hold down bracket closer to the tube a bit then straightened it out when tube was in place. Been there ever since with no problems.
