Check the wheel speed sensors if equipped. if you have traction control and one is bad it can give symptoms of a bad trans.
OBD reader would have flagged a bad wheel speed sensor
I’m not a mechanic, but I had the impression this corvette is either easy to fix or you guys made this looks easy 😂
I've done many things in my long career. Auto mechanics was one, but I was not thrilled to work on vehicles for people who thought a full brake job should only take 30 minutes or less. I have been an Electrical Engineer for the past 46 years and have enjoyed that very much, but working on a vehicle has always been my passion. The videos you produce show how to do those things a lot of us only wish we could accomplish. It's great to see someone who is dedicated to tearing down and fixing a vehicle that has been thrown away, more or less. I appreciate your enthusiasm, your drive to fix these cars and your professionalism to ensuring that they are correct. I look forward to watching more of your videos. Thank you!!
Jake and you teaming up is so good for the channel. You has been pumping out content like crazy and i love it
I feel the same, Ben and Jake are now #1, Others have fallen behind. Samcrac and G are tied for the 2 spot.
@@mdf1951 Agreed, if the G you are referring to is the Dang Sauce boys, to me, they jumped the shark years ago, I think they are just burnt out and bored,
@@michaelyackovich155 Yes I was referring to the Dang Sauce boys. They have gone from 3 videos a week down to one. They gained their popularity by rebuilding cars. I have often wondered when they get in their 40's and they are divorced whats going to happen to all of their wealth. The average marriage last 8 years now.
@@mdf1951 i actually prefer if they releases 1 video a week if that means they gonna put out better content instead of moving from places to places doing errands.
Less Volume More quality. Would also help them with the burnout and boredom.
Pumping out content? He's only put out three videos in the last two weeks. He needs better, smarter shills that aren't so obvious. 🤣
I love how chill you are about all this. Just a quick transmission replacement LOL
That's a huge undertaking but I can see you guys are up to it. Thanks for the ride!
Ben, so sorry this happened to you guys. I know you’ll get it all ironed out. You probably already know, but Harbor Freight has table that raises and lowers. I think they have 2 versions with different capacities. I’m not sure how high it goes, but between your hoist and one of the tables you should be able to get the trans back in. Needless to say I’ll be watching for part 2. See you in the next installment.
Beautiful car and very unfortunate to have to replace the transmission. You all make it look easy and have such a positive attitude about it. We all need to be that way.
I’m wondering if there isn’t a pretty good core value with your transmission? It must be worth a few grand, assuming the inside isn’t hamburger.
After your Mclaren rebuild, everything else is a piece of cake. Nothing to difficult for vTuned.
Hey Ben. You and Jake handled that extraction so well. Interesting to see if the new one goes in that easy. Great videos. Cheers Bob in the UK.
Great content Ben and Jake. This was a great tear down video of the gearbox. Take care guy's.
The gearbox can be sold as a secondhand part to recoup back the cost buying the replacement gearbox. Nice job dude
Jake’s been ripping it too hard. 😂😂
Good luck with the gearbox replacement.
How nice it would be if all new cars started their lives Suitable for purpose rather than expecting new customer's to find the faults.
Take care & stay safe Gentleman 🇬🇧🍀
Early adopters better always expect a few bugs.. Pretty much any car bought after the lab virus from china is a POS, cam shafts delaminating etc... The world is in a state of chaos and you better get with it.. It's amazing these cars are even being produced to be honest. Societal collapse is real... You think none of this has anything to do with quality control and people dedicated to their jobs? Nobody wants to work and a lot of people are injured from the JAB.. Welcome to Earth 2023.
Now that was a big job. You both are great mechanics.
Sorry about the transmission issue Ben. Looks like you made good progress and a used replacement will be the best option for now. Hopefully they give you a nice warranty.
Well done guys! Very interesting to see how that all went together.
Vtune does it again this young man is afraid of nothing, great job on the car and awesome job on the video 👍
I admire you guys taking on the challenge of RnR that Mid-Engine Transmission. I've learned 1 thing I would buy a C-7. Corvette Sting Ray
Yes. The last gen is so much better than the current gen. Oh wait...
I always said this channel deserves a lot more views, you and Jake are doing well, delivering interesting content not like another channel who just wants to destroy everything that they rebuild including the brand new Shelby truck that they bought recently, proof that money cannot buy intelligence. Thank you gentlemen, keep up the good work.
The Mustang to the scrapyard? Man, i wasn’t expecting that😢.
All them hours and material wasted. 😢
It was a joke guys.....
The first one not the white one I'm assuming
3:07 The Mustang is still there.
I would have tried to replace the solenoids and filter then relearn the trans and see if it worked before buying a whole new transmission.
lol watch a video on transmission. There’s a reason why there are just transmission shops only
Not as easy as it seems, especially on transmissions. Also finding documentation on how to do it properly would be pretty hard seeing that the car is less than 1 year old and the dealer still probably has any structural and major mechanical repair documentation on lock down. Also they said that the solenoids were about $4,000 and a used transmission that's know to be good could be bought for about $6,000 so they opted to buy used rather than hoping it's just the solenoids and risk wasting $4,000.
Hopefully you didn’t give up on building the 65 Mustang. I was enjoying watching your videos in that.
He said he took it to the scrap yard. Its junk
@@tomvan2468 😂 Hopes and dreams for Roli.
@@Private011I'm glad it's gone, was gonna be the heaviest car ever made and even with a big motor would still do a 1/4 mile in just under a week😅😅😅
@@Private011😂😂...Building the so-called " Classic Mustang/car" for UA-cam views" train left months ago...Ain't coming back....If he had started 1-2 yrs ago, it would've work...Even Goonzquad done abandoned the Camaro for more modern stuff...Gotta jump on "trends " when they Hot, not screw 'round and be late to the game....
@@tomvan2468idk when he said that his friend was smiling who knows what’s really going on with it
You guys work well together. Keep the vids coming.
I wonder if you have the Tremec dual clutch transmission? Problems with the shift solenoids ... maybe try moving them to see if you can narrow the bad solenoid. Easier to replace the solenoids that to crack that open and rebuild. CHECK for metal in the pan and filter if it is a planetary gear issue or spacers that came apart and is in the gears. EITHER WAY GOOD LUCK GUYS! Huge job ahead of you.
A 22 model with transmission issues already!? That is pretty unacceptable
That great GM feeling.
Salvage title. Anything is possible including being husk from the factory
Lots of Problems with 2022's. I got a 2024...4 previous years to get all/most of the bugs out..
Same
I had a feeling the Mustang was a lost cause long long time ago. Where is Samcrac's Ferrari? Keep the faith bro' and stay with the exotics.
I would still investigate about warranty on that ,before you spent that much money out of pocket,could be something simple,call around transmission shops,get second opinion.someone might know what to do.just saying.good video 👍👍👍😎😎😎
I’m not sure if warranty would still apply with a salvaged car..
I have a Volkswagen with dual clutch transmission. On them yuo can do a reset of the transmission and then it will do an adaptation on the clutches and how those engage. You shold check if there is something similar on GM's. The symptoms look similar.
Reminds me of learning to stick shift!!!😂
I hope bringing the mustang to the scrap yard was a joke 😭
It wasn't making him money.
Lost cause. Dead end
How many mustangs has he killed on this channel?
@@speedsterwinstonjust two
he’ll probably never do that again.
VW has a table like yours with pegs. It lowers the engine/ transmission as well the suspension. It is pretty wild to watch the techs use it. It was built for the Touareg, Q5 and Cayenne
Rebuild it and use it in the other corvette
Wise man may get any damaged vehicle serviced at a dealership before putting it back on the road ,that way there is some come back on them if problems occur , especially after a full service on motor and the transmission ,and also picking up any other car management issues .
Good that you can handle the disassembly etc ,hope you can show us what's wrong with it ,but also this is UA-cam and there are plenty of transmission gurus out there who can fix the transmission with their eyes closed .
Watch the jack points using the lift seen a few vids of them falling cause the rear is so much heavier.
Cool car god job guys!
These double clutch transmissions are just too complicated and are too often “sealed units” where the only solution to a problem is a $15000+ replacement. The PDK on my porsche scares the hell out of me for the day it goes
Luckily for you, they are really good. Keep up on the service.
16:46 Johnny the car ninja has one of those tables, it's infinitely adjustable to all makes models of sub frames trans and engines. It's a nice bit of kit....
I always said Lambo Ferrari and any mid engine car it should be an hour job to remove the engine. Main wiring harness, remove the exhaust, fuel lines and the whole thing should slide right out.
If they engineered it properly it would be. I mean, other than coolant, fuel, exhaust and electronics, what else is there? IMO the rear suspension and brakes, everything should come out, just like a front wheel drive car is assembled.....
Glad you got some help with Jake assisting. Seems like he knows a bit. You are fearless when it comes tackling repairs or builds. I have to psych myself up a few days before trying something new. Did I hear you say the Mustang was junked?😮💨
He was joking about junking it.He was being funny towards the jerks that wrote that they didn't like it,and or,it would never be done.
That Tremec transmission isn't a new design, I am not sure what else they came in, but you can see on the front of it there is a adaptor plate installed to make it match up to the corvette. Tremec is typically a pretty good transmission brand
First couple years with new drivetrain platform will have bugs unfortunately, my 97 C5 was first year of Ls with transaxle and my slave cylinder failed @ 23k miles.
Crazy such a new car would experience major issues like this, especially a Tremec transmission. You guys made it look relatively easy, which we know it wasn’t. The shop looks great all nice and clean but that yard now, gad zooks. It’s beginning to look like your dads yard before Yuri and others began cleaning it up. Looks like there’s a lot of money to be made there. On just scrap alone.
Be sure and show the new trans install. I really like y’all’s videos
The underneath of the car reveals a true exotic.
Didn't you ad axtra oil to the transmission during the rebuild? May by you should have tried get it back to correct level again before swapping it out?
Great content! Actual real mechanical work! Keep it , let’s pass up goonzquad!😅
If all the content was the same then no one would watch,....Goonzquad is still good content,..I watch both !
@@westboundbadger I watch both also, it just seems now it’s all about spending money and not finishing there builds. I guess I just have more respect for Ben trying to make it on his own.
@@tonyfornaca8259 The Brothers do so much other stuff the cars seem to have to wait along time,..Leaves a problem in that if you dont want to watch all the other stuff but just the cars then you could also be in for a wait !
Jake looks like he is goonzquad
@@westboundbadger your right , I understand
Oh i was wondering about the warranty and you answered with salvage title explanation. The accident was probably caused by the transmission down shifting and causing the rear to lose control. The previous owner may have a legit lawsuit against GM for faulty transmission and it possibly causing the accident. When is Samcrac gonna finish that Ferrari
Looks to be off the lift that's what's important all. That work you were doing and his car was taken up your lift.
Have the Engine ECM and Transmission TCM reprogrammed so they match newest versions and do a car global reset of modules and that should fix it, before doing the transmission.
If there's anything vTuned has taught me, it's that I need to check it out.
It seems to me as though the person driving it is pressing both pedals alternately. That is quite weird. I could imagine that you eventually found the solution to that problem. It's time to continue watching this video.
VTuned out here making a corvette transmission swap look like no big deal. Haha just go to show you how skilled an knowledgeable he really is.
Nice job getting that out guys. Saved yourselves a bunch of money.
I was more worried about the car tipping forward off the lift when all the rear weight removed
Great video, there's nothing you 2 can do, keep up the good work, did i hear you say you got rid of the Mustang?
youtuber Brink of Speed, had the same issue SEPT 2022, and he shows al what the symptoms and dealer fixes were and they didn't replace tranny.
did you really scrap the mustang...?
Sorry to hear about the trans hopefully you learned a lesson weird how people never treat other people’s stuff like they would if it was theirs
It can get damage on impact. Lots of time auto transmissions get damaged when accidents happen
thank you Cpt Obvious
yeah, considering (I think) it's a transaxle as well. AND this one took quite the hit on the rear wheel.....
No warranty on salvage, but at least they still have to cover recalls. Nice car anyway!
Who needs Sam Crack when we have a guy here who actually films and finishes his vehicles.
Good to see judahs garage back on UA-cam
Such a bummer to hear the trans has issues. $15K for a trans is crazy.
Hey VTuned: Your doing great video’s. Please Do another update on your white C8 Corvette. How’s the news transmission doing etc. Any other issues you’d like to fix? Also some cool mods you should do. Check out ACS composite’s. Add on a front splitter and Zo6 style rockers in Carbon flash to match your spoiler. Keep doing updates.
Maybe get with performance transmission Builder get it redone so you can build a badass SLC back it up for like an lt5 that would be a ripper
Ahhh Jakey poo needs to ease up he busted the door and now a trans , it’s getting expensive !
The car was in an accident, there was most likely metal in there somewhere and when Jake was driving those metal shavings got pumped all through the trans. I don't think it could have been avoided besides if you drive it like a baby forever.
Both of the items you mentioned were already previously damaged. I hope you're not a boss or a business owner!
@@bradbozarth3235 Pretty sure his comment was 99.98374% sarcasm/satire 😂😂
99. 9899 % agree with you!!!😅
You race it you break it. Then you fix it. Maintenance sure helps
It was working before the steering wheel change right ???
Love the videos bro keep them coming your channel has so much potencial
I would love to own a new corvette, but without a manual option...forget it.
Someone should pick up one of Tavarish's shirts "I am the Warranty"
gm dealer tech here. i've done it both ways. it's way easier to drop the entire powertrain out.
I wonder if this is another Pandemic era issue🤔 Seems like a lot of cars from 2020-2022 are having different issues, including my 2022 RAV4. Something about lack of quality control!
I hope the new transmission doesn't have the same problem.
Transmission issues with the GMC Canyon as well. Dealer recommends transmission Flush with better Transmission fluid than the crap from GM.
Did you try contacting Tremec directly? They might help, but GM probably has them tied up on this.
Which mustang did you scrap? The most recent one… or the one you were building at the old shop?
That is what I was wondering, I wanted to see it finished🤨
What was the cost for a new transmission?
Could the steering wheel install have caused some wiring issue resulting in Paddle malfunction ??
Interesting idea actually 🤔 Or just shotgun a $15,000 transmission 😅
TREMEC Transaxle: so many stories I could share.
Change that filter...often. The area of the transaxle is BIG, the debris high in volume.
New C-8 change within the first 7,500 miles...if not sooner say 1,500 miles.
The filter is...well, SMALL.
also another issue, people pushing the card hard before 500 miles (break in) even though there is a limiter, many had issues a few thousand miles after that.
Flushing is not always the answer. Sometimes you have to pull the pan and change the filter. Flushing is questionable.
Guess it is most often "debris," but changing the trans fluid at 7,500 is recommended and about 4% of the 2021s were effected, although apparently, it goes beyond that.
Bad luck, make sure you flush out oil cooler don't want any metal back in new trans.
Yeah Ben GM Quality control is horrendous it has been bad for the last 15 years or so. I worked for GM for a year and half as Automotive Technician.
Had my eyes on one of these, was already not liking the dealer markup but hearing i need to service a trans with 5k miles ill get the c63amg
you got your own little Simon.
Damn dude - Jake be like breaking cars up, damn....
AY YO TERRY, PUT IT IN REVERSE! PUT IT IN REVERSE! 🤣🤣
Hi Ben,
What a disappointment that the transmission of your beautiful restored Corvette C8 was broken. Thanks to your brother you’ve saved quit a bit of money in replacing the transmission all by yourself. In such a way only the costs of the hardware is valid what still be quit a bit of money. I look forward to your next vlog and wish you as well as your brother lots of success with all the ongoing projects plus I send you love from the Netherlands
Bareback in tight crammed in areas. I approve
That transmission was built by Tremec, and they designed it based upon GM's needs. The company has been in business for 60 years, so there's no excuse for it not working. They generally do a good job.
I wonder if it was low on fluid. I mean just by a little bit could possibly cause it to fail.
I do believe the level is very sensitive in these cars
@@geniferteal4178 that's what I been hearing
Im hoping you can get the mustang done at some stage 👍🏽
Love you and your brothers determination 🫡
What’s goin on with the mustang build love seeing the content on that
You ever see Stradmans video his C8 had a huge trans leak and he could get his car into neutral or drive to have it towed so Chevy sent mechanics to his house with a special tool just to manually shift it so Chevy knows that there is a huge transmission problem
Dual clutch transmission - two manual gearboxes boted together with a shed load of mechatronics (probably made with chinese components) to swap the cogs and built down to a price. What could possibly go wrong. Hint - the "two gearboxes" is why it is big and heavy.
Ben, why didn't you show us you digging into the solenoid pack ?
C7 is a better car. Better to work on, better to mod, better in everyway. I really thought this c8 would be my dream car but considering how hard it is to work on I'm not sure it's worth it.
Congratulations on the video and good luck with your work!
We changed the transmission and after that the car doesn't start, the panel doesn't show the gear position, the panel doesn't turn off. we receive fault code DTC U1346. Any idea what it could be, the wiring harnesses tend to cause problems in this car, can you help me, I'm in Brazil and we don't have authorized service, I own an independent workshop
