I am in my eighth decade of life and I know nothing about transmissions, but I enjoy watching a true craftsman at work. I have learned much from these videos.
After watching about 40 of these vids I finally realized why they are so addictive. Watching the disassembly is like a postmortem on a homicide victim or a good “who done it” mystery movie. As a 45 year retired mechanic I appreciate your attention to detail!
Richard and Trent are living the American dream. Father and son skilled specialists, a reputation built on years of hard work, serving their neighbors with pride, and they really care about the product they put out.
As a retired reliability engineer (specializing in military aviation hardware) I enjoy watching your videos for your analysis of why things fail, whether through cheap parts, improper installation, hard use or whatever. I learn a lot from every one of your videos. Thanks and keep up the great work!
Love how he explains things that people will actually want to know. So many people just skim over everything really fast and you don't learn much of anything. Gets so aggravating when its almost dark and you're trying to figure out which way a spring or washer goes on somthing so you can get to work in the morning. So you sit through a 20 minute video just for them to skip over the one thing you're hoping to figure out, only to talk about the blatently obvious stuff a special needs monkey could reason out. You can just tell when someone knows thier stuff, and Richard sure does. All the questions you have he's had before too, and answers most of them without you even needing to ask. I don't fool around with transmissions, but I watch his videos because its such a learning experience. I may just have to try rebuilding one someday just solely by what I've seen Richard do on here.
This has to be frustrating to deal with in a world of people who won't hook up their TV cables and won't get torque converters all the way in before installing the transmission. They are literally the two easiest steps when doing a transmission job.
What a great class on what not to do on this model of transmission. Richard is not only a master technician he is an entire power train engineering department in a one man package, WOW!
Richard is the ‘Transmission Jesus’ - amazing the knowledge that he retains - I did transmissions for GM years back, and I’m amazed at his diverse knowledge - certainly a humble and brilliant man -
There are different kinds of geniuses out there, Richard is a transmission genius, knows everything about them, and so informative as he breaks these down, very interesting to watch!
You know this man KNOWS his stuff when he's telling you what lurks behind the next ring of bolts before he takes them out. New PT addict right here! :-D
I absolutely love how Richard enters into the shop at the beginning and says hello... feels like watching the old powerblock episodes, except i learn WAY more here lol. I think a lot of us would love an opportunity to work in a shop like this. Great stuff

Proof positive that buying billet parts doesn't make the trans any better if you don't build her right. Thanks for the explanations, Richard!

Golden parts, I can see you don’t like people getting ripped off, you Sir are a true honest professional
It is so refreshing to watch a professional work.

The amount of knowledge this guy has... my thesaurus hasn’t a fancy enough adjective.
Three words you never want to hear Richard say: “Plum wore out”.
The wealth of knowledge Richard shares is truly astounding. It's great to watch professionals that pay so much attention to detail work.
"it should have uhh...golden parts in it" 😂😂. That pause in-between had me dying. Keep up the good work guys and lady!! Love watching these

No matter how many times I watch him, he always amazes me. He is so casual about being so smart.
Fantastic. I never get tired of watching Richard.
