    my little brother and I wrenched a 41te automatic tranny out of a chrysler town and country with no jacks or powertools. just hand tools and the wheel barrel. When we hit day 2, yeah it took us 2 days, it finally dropped into the barrel with the help of a little crowbar looking thing that I found. One of the part pullers guys just happened to be walking by when we dropped it out and he was like"Oh you got to love that sound," because it was loud It was like, BANG Bang! But all in all it was a good time spending time with little bro.

    Yes, "for safety reasons you are not allowed to bring a jack to the yard". Makes sense. Some places will let you use rolling jacks though. Once place I used to frequent had floor jacks with rubber tires. They were always gone though and usually left out in the yard...

But like you said, sometimes they just don't fit in the tight spots. Or wait that's what she said haha.. Those things are a life saver. Aren't they greatI love em specially with a lifetime guarantee.

  • @Kolonol1
    @Kolonol1 2 роки тому

    I work at a shop where we pull 5-10 transmissions and rebuild them per week. The transfer case on Chevys and smaller dodges that don't have the nut or bolt on the very bottom before I let the crossmember loose. Rest the front shaft end of the T-case on your knees and use that to direct it. Slide the T-case slowly back until the alignment dowel comes out and get a good grip on the main part and slowly lower it onto your legs and then turn it gently and roll it off of you....lot easier to do. I'm not a strong guy and I can take them down and put them back up without much issue...it's about technique. And remember before you ever let go of that transfer case when you are putting it in, ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS have 1 bolt minimum holding it in place...

    There's some serious irony going on in not allowing you to bring a transmission jack, but still allowing you to pull a transmission like that. That's VERY shady. The last time I went to one of those places I think they rented jacks for next to nothing. There's also a bit of a fail going on with forgetting to disconnect several bolts and the shifter linkage.

    Almost every junk yard doesn't allow Jacks to be used because people don't know how to use them in the dirt or uneven ground. You wouldn't understand if you question why unless you lift a car off a dead man. Using old rims or any metal in that situation makes sense unless you never been there

      You could just unbolt the transmission crossmember and engine mounts (and disconnect all the lines and wires) and use an engine hoist if your yard allows for it, once off the car, then you can remove the transmission from the engine if you dont want it. Those bolts require the proper socket to remove without damage, but you could always drill them out, grind them off, etc.

      @wildbill23c 6 років тому

      Make sure the transmission has fluid in it. Other than that if it isn't moving its time for a replacement or rebuild. Not cheap at all, which is why so many vehicles are scrapped either the engine fails or the transmission fails, and neither are cheap and usually cost more than the vehicle is worth to have replaced/repaired.

    Hello.
    What is the ~ height (In squatting at knee height, ~ 40cm, ~1,3ft?) and weight of a automatic transmission?
    I will try it on the street, and jack up only the car front.
    Do I have to remove the wheels in front before I start?
    Because I own small ramps (about 21cm, 0.67ft high) to drive on it.
    What do I have for possibilities without a car workshop with a lift?
    Without endangering my life :-). It is a 2001 Grand Voyager IV 3.3, 2 tons, 4500 pounds....
    Your vehicle is higher, that's a big advantage.
    Thanks...

      Ano Nymos you've obviously never been to a pull and pay, I had to pull this exact trans from this exact vehicle from a pull and pay much worse then that one. There's nothing safe about it, if your not a good mechanic is definently NOT recommend doing this yourself on a trans at a pull and pay, the cars can fall on occasion among other things. Big savings, big risk, big pain in the ass. I've done these this way for years and I'm still scetched out eveytime.

      And all vehicles are raised about the same height, the height of a rim on the rocker

    • @Ano-Nymos

      I do not need a pull and pay. It is in front of the house.
      I want to continue using my transmission. Remove, repair, and insert.
      Here US cars are rather rare. And a used transmission a risk. It could quickly turn out again.
      Here on YT, I have found a series of repair videos for the transmission.
      Here is my jacked car:

      Approximately 2.5ft (77cm) between transmission sump and bottom.
      It seems very stable. The rear wheels are fixed to the ramp with lashing strap (for 8 tons, 8.8 short tons):

      I would generally not trust only the parking brake.
      Are the concrete slabs a problem?

    • @yjjeeper1
      @yjjeeper1 6 років тому

      Ano Nymos I understand your concern, I'd change that around a bit if it were me. If you must do it on a sloped drive way (flat surface much safer) than if possible turn it around and back it down on to the ramps then yes straps good idea. The other thing sms biggest concern is you always want your stands as perfectly vertical as possible as your going to be prying and pulling pretty hard at times, it would definently add saftey if it were back down hill on the ramps then at the bottom of the blocks for the stands, it's better to have them shimed at the bottom then flat on an angled drive way. Yes I'd change that, not safe. Hope that helps.

    • @yjjeeper1
      @yjjeeper1 6 років тому

      Ano Nymos one more thing to consider, if your a pretty strong guy lower it a little, it's going to take all your strength to lift it up then shimmy it back in place, unless you've got a trans jack but being rather strong myself the trans jack seems almost more trouble then it's worth. They make it very hard to feel the alignment pins and a lot longer to place it in right with a high chance of accidentally crushing lines (just my opinion). It can be done easier lower with a little muscle, I did this grand Cherokee trans with the transfer case attached but yes it took all I had. Being front wheel drive (I'm assuming that's not all wheel drive) yes font wheels/tie rods ect. do need to be removed to slide the axles out of your way. Good luck, be safe.

    What if motor is seized up how do you get it out then.

    • @user-zt4yk1sm8y
      @user-zt4yk1sm8y 6 років тому

      Melvin Martin
      Couple of options. You can drop the oil pan and try to un seize the motor- figure out why it's seized a lot of times it's broken rod etc if you can drop the crankshaft etc or you can pull the engine and transmission and get the torque converter bolts from the side but you better have a good wrench that'll grip the fastener for you either way those rod cap bolts are torqued nice and tight too.
      You can pull the transmission without unbolting the torque converter bolts you just have to give it a real good couple of pulls straight back and then see if you can get to the torque converter bolts while the engine is still in the vehicle.
