Re: 4l80e Overdrive planetary thrust bearing failure

I consider any planetary or bearing failure as a lubrication failure. Pay close attention to the cooler circuit.

I have a 4L60e on the bench now that has obviously been in water more than once. (lots of flooding around here the last couple years). Pretty heavy scale rust on many of the hard parts. Ultimately though, the failure was due to clutch delamination due to the water.
