Should I Convert My Automatic Transmission to a Manual?
It's a question we get multiple times a week - "What is the cost to convert my automatic transmission to a manual?" or, "Can my automated transmission be converted to manual transmission?"
In our first video on the topic, Troy from National Transmission South Calgary offers his thoughts regarding this conversion. TLDR: It's a lot more complicated and expensive than most people think (especially without a pre-existing conversion kit or donor vehicle.) You can read more about an automatic to manual conversion on our website here:

Subscribe for more videos and let us know in the comments if you'd like to see an automatic to manual conversion from start to finish in the future.

    GM should put them billets in all their torque Converters and illuminate the thermostat. In All there transmission That's a big joke. That's where all the heat's coming from. The money these people pay for these vehicles. Today is a no-brainer, should have good parts.

    If your selling your car and need the transmission rebuilt don't get it done here cause they won't honor the warranty to the new owner. $6500 wasted.

    BS, the weld is not the problem man. The heat marks are from the manufacturing process and the fluid will keep surface temps pretty even. HERE IS THE REAL PROBLEM--The programming in the TCM / ECM commands torque converter apply in early gears and allows 20-40 rpm slippage. Actual slippage is much more. The torque converter never actually locks completely. It blows my mind why GM does this shit for smooth shifts and fuel mileage. It also blows my mind that people don't realize what's actually happening and why. HP tuners will fix this. Turn of DOD, and command less or no allowed slip. The torque converter is actually pretty good and has superior clutch material compared to standard lockup clutches.

    I have a 16 silverado bought it new it has 170k. I've changed the thermostat and lower ball joints. It has the original taillight bulbs "not led" still on it. 6000 hours on the motor runs and drives like a champ. Change the fluids every now and then, always use synthetic. I bought a bypass for the transmission thermostat and will be installing this week. I also drive with the transmission in manual gear 5 which prevents afm from engaging.

    • @thisismyname2936

      I did the trans thermostat bypass when I bought it at about 60k miles. Just have up the ghost last week at 138k. Need a better converter and tuning from day 1 to really correct the issues, cooler will only prolong the inevitable.

      I have a 15' GMC Sierra 160k ... And the manual 5th does more than just save your lifters. By cancelling the AFM you bring the torque converter target slip from thousands of RPMs down into the hundreds. Less heat!

  • @correctednews1463
    @correctednews1463 8 місяців тому

    The description of the drum failure could be based on fact. However, most of what was said about the torque converter is inaccurate. 1) 'metal' does not automatically harden from being heated. 'Steel', which is what torque converter s are made from, does not harden unless it has a high carbon content. Steel with a high carbon content is not suitable for deep stamping. In fact, only high quality sheet stock is suitable for stamping 2) Using vague terms like 'failure rate' with no actual facts is equivalent to marketing, which is another word for propaganda. Failure rate of 5 in 1,000 may be 'improved' to 4.7 in 1,000 but that is still an unacceptable rate. So, what is the failure rate of the factory torque converters? What is the rate of your soultion? To just say 'improved' is pathetic, frankly. Explain why suddenly a specific torque converter has a mysterious failure when these parts have been mass produced by US car makers since 1952. Using welded steel blocks as mounting points is used on huge diesel engines, so your claim that this is the 'failure point' lacks any credibility at all, particularly since the blocks are not tearing loose and leaving cracks or holes, and the entire torque converter body is a weldment with a 360 degree radial weld on the diameter of the stamping. You will need to do a lot better than this to make your case, especially since the only 'boogie man' the manufacturer has come up with is improperly formulated fluid.

    I have a 19 GMC Sierra limited with a 6 speed transmission. It failed at 36k. They replaced torque converter and rebuilt transmission. 6 months later, same problem. Dealer puts refurbished transmission- truck is in shop for a month. 2 months later the refurbished transmission has szme problem. They say it’s a valve body issue; in the shop for 2 weeks. They replaced valve body but dealer says the transmission is still not functioning properly. No word yet on the repair or when I get the truck back. Besides telling me to get rid of the truck; has anyone managed to get the dealer/gmc to buyback their truck? Thanks
