Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 вер 2024
- Gearstar built us a SWEET automatic overdrive transmission and we ordered it up RIGHT with all the goodies! In this episode we almost finish the install but before we complete the crossmember we want to make sure the transfer case and twin stick setup work perfectly! You'll see that on the next episode, coming up SOON!

Can't get enough of you two. Can't wait for the next episode!!!! I love, love, love the Bronco. Super smart idea up-grading the tranny for future power options.
what to say of course perfect camera angles, light, and music, and your happy smiles ! just as it should from the sparksgarage 😎👍👍👍
Dang Emily....I use the torch every day as a mechanic, and I tell ya, you looked like you knew what you were doing! Love you guys
Dana 20’s are sneaky...
Mine didn’t leak until I cleaned it like y’all did. Had to put seals in it. That layer of crud was holding it all in. LOL
You’re gonna love the twin stick on the trail.
Look at the Painless harness when y’all rewire. They really have a nice product, and it’s not just a generic, they built it in a Bronco. Centech would be my second choice. Painless is a Texas based company too.
Front and Rear pump makes the AOD great all they need is a solid 1 piece input shaft ,good torque convertor, the A servo from a Ranger, shift kit , and tranny cooler and mine has held 600 rwhp for 9 years now without issues
Good to see some one else doing this. I am in the process. Take a good look at the transmission pan clearance to the front drive shaft. It will hit when you bounce your suspension. i had to notch the pan and re-weld it. Good luck, looks good so far.
Another great episode. I really enjoy seeing the two of you working together. And the banter that goes with it. Makes me smile. Best wishes to both of you, we'll be right here waiting ready for our fix. Best wishes always..
I learned to drive with a 68 bronco. 289, 3 on the tree. Put on dual exhaust and a Holley 2 barrel and drove the wheels off of it in Colorado. Good memories. Your horse is way cool!
Some of the best + most wholesome content available.
Thanks so much, love that I can watch your vids with with confidence with my kids, learn stuff, get to know you guys, and be inspired to get out and work in out cars.
Peace + love from down-under 🇦🇺
Pete Witt Such a kind comment!! Thanks so much ♥️👊🏼
@@flyingsparksgarage Anytime! Been meaning to tell you for ages! keep up the good work :)
Great meeting you guys at Drag Week. Awesome event. Looking forward to the videos.
as a fellow that suffers from buffering on my phone I appreciate the split episode . Lol
✌️🏼💚😁
Thanks for being a good example "to all the childrens", Aaron. ;-) Love you guys!
If you are to show the children a good example, please use a guard on your angle grounder by too.
I shudder when I see those things being used without guards, especially when angle grinders have no respect for flesh & bone
Emily that was definitely some nice torch cutting skills you have there girl!! You did better then most guys that I now & even think that they are good with a torch!! Now I got proof that a lady can definitely cut with a torch better then most guys!! All I have to do is whip this video out & show them guys that a lady is way better then them!! Awesome work Emily!!! But I bet your husband showed you the ropes on how to so I’d better thank him also!! Keep the videos rolling!!! Love watching your videos!!
A Great Episode Guys,some tradesman advice for you both,have noticed several times, that you both have called using a Vernier Calipers, as micrometers, or miking as a term of use,the. Better term is a Measurement! Also Emily good work with the OXY set,my advice here is regarding use of a file,don't push and Pull,a file only cuts in one direction, so a Push controlled cut is better for saving damage to teeth on file,another filing trick,is to break all files in first on softer metals,eg.brass/Aluminium& clean regularly during use with a file brush?keep up the great content and much love from your friendly Queensland Australia, tradesman, bullockydave?
We luv watching your UA-cam channel, great episode guys!!
We might just be getting our transmission installs done around the same time haha the 700R4 swap should be dialed in by the end of this week! Freakin excited!
Wild Horses Bronco TV GET IT, fam!!!
cool guys love you show. My girl friend i drove a bronco all over the southern states for eight months. After high school in 1976. The best times of r lives
I prefer stickshift in everything....except 4×4's! Excellent mod, should be a blast.
Got me! I was gonna comment on those wires LOL! They really should be put in a loom if you do any off-roading! Great build! Wish I had mine back!!!
AAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! Stop making us wait on updates and videos.... You guys are driving me crazy with the epic builds and the love for what you do together... After the Big Bang Theory tv show I found you guys...…… Please...…..Please give us a bit more... nah. Just Kidn. Love what yall do I think it's great that you have a passion for what you do as well as the passion and love for not olny doing things together but the feeling of accomplishment at the end. I can't wait until you guys build your first plane together?? Huh.. Maybe? (I know insurance is expensive.... BUT HOW COOL would THAT BE! As always a THANK YOu...I need to get on social media more I reckon.
Chris Brown
EXACTLY!
Best gearheads ever and believe me..have known quite a few old car freaks from the
“I knew you when you were in diapers, right Jr?” era of the 60’s n 70’s when racing WAS RACING!
Want to totally adopt them! 😁.
These two have no fear!
Watching her use the torch was amazing!
Ahhhh....
My “Dream Children”. 👍🏻❤️🤘🏻. And FurBall of course! ❤️
You should like the AOD. My car has one with 3.80 gears and it turns 2,200 RPM at 70MPH.
I'm blind to wiring, I didn't even notice them until you pointed it out.
I don't think there is a better match of two people on this planet. Love you guys, oh and Finlay too :-)
Awesome to see the progress (and process) with Betty. Can't wait to see part 2! Bronco got some beef now! 😆
Omg I cant wait super excited to see drag week and the rest Betty boop 👍👍🤙
Looking good. Another great video 👍
Hey, just watched Finagans video of drag week. Saw you in it having a good time. Be Blessed and Be Safe 😁
Gearstar makes a nice trans. Looking forward to the twin stick install 😀 Great job you 2!
Just finished up watching the entire 5 days of Drag Week. Epic, and it was awesome to see the GTO running down the track!! Good Job to you guys!
danswrld Ahhh, we haven’t made time for that yet, maaaan it was fun hot lapping her!! SO FREAKIN FUN!
@@flyingsparksgarage Those episodes are going to be awesome to watch! like a behind the scenes of Drag Week!
Emily your torch cutting is awesome. And that trans is a beast. Looking forward to the next video.
Awesome as always! Love your channel!
Nice mod on the cross member. Can't wait to see the road test on the new transmission. Will your stock driveshaft work? Hi to Finley! See you next time!
Great edit and episode. Look forward to the next one
I myself would love longer video's The longer the better.👍👍
Cant wait for the next video! Love watching you and Aaron work together.
always happy to see you and aaron going at it! and of course the myth the legend Finley!
I love watching what they do
Always the most beautiful UA-cam channel
Love the work you two are doing on this Bronco! I’ve been dragging my feet on putting the new tranny in my diesel suburban, so this was great inspiration. Thanks for all the great content.
AWWW, we were hoping for a stick!
Kelly Konoske This is the only auto we have!!! Lol
Sweet Bronco, great job and thank you for sharing.
I KNEW I loved you for a reason, but to hear you say....”Just keeps on keeping on”. Well, that sure cinched the deal. One of my old 70’s sayings! Memories!
Yup...somehow...you are my daughter from another mother. 😁
Cannot wait to hear “The Beast” running!
Good torch work - better than me
Nice trans, nice video!
77.1k subscribers?! Wow, your channel is doing great. Love your builds.
Wasn't going to say anything about it until you brought it up Emily, hadn't even noticed it, lol!
Love everything but would love to see longer videos and more of them. At least 20 minutes and once a week, and i bet yall will have a million subscribers in no time. And I am still waiting for the fan off Garfield I'll trade you a new flex fan for it. Them old 6 blade fans are hard to find anymore. I actually put one on my Camaro when the factory one exploded and it kept the car at 170° at all times. ✌🐓🤘🖖😎🦂
Back in my dirt track days we combed the junk yards looking for those fans. 😁
@@TheSteve1175 shhhh i want that fan but my dad dirt tracked himself j2 was his car # i run that number on my drag car today
Usually rebuild trans never last, I had to swap mine out in my bronco but it’s a 4th gen , e40d so I got from a 250 with supposed 70k but some new synthetic Mercon about 16.5 quarts and it’s still running beautifully
Love your videos, love you guys and once again Emily you are so dang cute! ❤️
I SO LOVE BRONCOS!!! Gonna be RAD! 👍🏻❤️👍🏻
Keep them coming, I enjoy watching.
Can't wait to see Roxy's build!
Fun with Emily on Saturday
hell i always enjoy your shows keeping coming
That’s going to be way cool 😎
Can’t wait to see what mod you do to the Monaro named Roxy .like to see what you can get away with in them over their .love the bronco
great job guys, cant wait to see it in action!
It wasn't a flex plate, it was a fly wheel. But I'll let y'all slide this time. Love your videos
Richard Smith You win for paying attention, it was just a test. 🤓😏🤣
@@flyingsparksgarage Oooo. I win? What did I win? I didn't know there was a contest. All I want is a t-shirt and more videos =). Mainly more videos. I love 'em. Y'all have so much fun
From one Texan to an other. Keep up the good work y'all. I live in Washington and people say I sound funny.
Richard Smith Thanks so much!! We’ll keep at it!!
Nice work Em 💯🔆✔🚙☮
I saw you guys on Finnegan's vid from drag week, do you have some content from that coming up?
Aaron you rule 🇺🇸
So what's actually inside it? Which overdrive servo? I'm assuming it's all stamped steel drums? Late style.. What clutches.. kolene? Valve body? I'd worry about some frictions (like blue plates) because without the power they can glaze up.. I just got done with a rebuild for a like 400 HP 306 so I went with raybestos stage 1s.. then my ss direct clutch has 8 plate kolene and alto red eagles.. Kevlar bands and went with a sonnax super hold servo .. (which they advertise as the strongest so I'm assuming it's got more clamping than even a superior brand super servo) you Kevlar should be used with stronger springs.. my shafts spin so hopefully it goes okay lol
Great video - I'm doing currently installing a Gearstar 4R70W with the advance adapters setup. At the 4:49 mark in the video you are applying something orange to the adapter. What is it?
Love the vids guys!! I want a relationship with Roxy!! Haha love that GTO!
Good to see some progress on the five-oh Ronco. I feel like I could learn a heck of a lot if I wrenched with you and Aaron for a day.
That Gearstar trans can handle a heck of a spankin'. The Dana 20 seems a little underpowered compared but unless you're putting 40s and tons under the Ronco, it should be just fine for your average off road adventure. I do recommend putting some ARB air lockers in the front and rear axles though 'cause lockers come in real handy in a pinch
Curious though, and I ask 'cause I ain't much of a Ford guy, why'd you go with an AOD instead of a C6? What's the difference? is the AOD electronically controlled?
Love watching your videos awesome job keep it up
That was a tease, I wanted to see more.
I am soo behind, I'm building engine, trans, rear end car, the works, all in shop
lol just as i was thinking " what a rats nest " looking at the wires you say exactly what i was was! now to mess with people just change all the wires out for 1 color and pretend its the real fix !
You have great video thanks for sharing
1:15 was I the only one who thought she was gonna say dog?
I still would have freshened up that transfer case.
Wats the deal????U TWO ROCK BUT FINNLEY IS THE MAN....AMEN TO AMERICA
Why not an a4ld
i building a bronco but i be u never seen one of these a 70 pu body bronco the bronco ford should have built
Oh no not Beef Beef is a bad word these days LOL!!
love the Bronco ! i know you two are youngens and all but please lift with your legs.. is there a link to the episode where your making your t shirts ...the twisted ripped ones... asking for my girly friend ;)
Do ya'll still have the Bronco???
Face palm...the need bars!
Should have just gone to the coyote and whipple to begin with!!!
dr reckoff 💰💰💰💰💰💰💰
Someone get these two a pair of snap ring pliers.
"Its not junky, its $40. 😆😆🤣🤣
You gals ROCK =) guys, gals =) lol...….
Great video, Aron looks cute in that skirt......er...I mean apron. ;-)
I have one like that and it is a great thing! Bolts,tools in the front pockets and room for a beer.
Should have waited till the end of the vid to ask,
It would have looked better if you painted the undercarriage.
6:03 Finley is like... " I'm so OVER this! I've been promised my own doggie scooter for 3 years and it never happens. My feet hurt. I want a steak. I'm just O-V-ER IT already. Can I have a hug? "
I love when youtubers pause to speak/reply to future comments. You can almost hear the keyboard warriors spamming that backspace key.
I cringed in the previous video when you lifted with your back and you did it again in slow motion lifting the transmission. Take a look. Don't forget, lift with your legs, both a ya. We want to keep watching you build cars and not breaking your backs. As always, great video/s.
Dang Girl take the screws out before you tear something up.
please lift with your leg people.. we want you to be able to keep making content for us :)
Emily is the perfect wife!
seriously no snap ring pliers shoot me a message I hook you guys up
Sorry but after 20 yrs as a Ford trained mechanic putting any AOD in an early Bronco is total sacrilege.
I Love watching the work you are doing but I have to say, out of all of the tools you have how is it that you dont have a pair of circlip pliers. Shame on you.
This episode wasn’t even 15 min long in no way was it close to too long most of my favorite channels videos run 30 min plus I mean at least 20 min is ok but this 10 to 13 min stuff hard to watch because you barely get time to get into what your doing and we all know you didn’t do what you did in 13 min just saying imho longer videos will get you more watches
Emily, shame on you! You lifted that trans with your back and not your legs. You're gonna hurt your back doing that.
Wow Emily, you need to lift with your legs or you will blow out your back!
for 40 bucks he can wear it in kitchen too. 😂😂😂😂😂
p. s. in undies only.
Do "knit picky keyboard warriors" like to hear themselves talk as much as you like to hear yourself talk? Cuz Damn.
