Loved how many times John commented how “simple” Powerglides are. And he lost me in the first 30 seconds. Automatic transmissions always seemed like rocket science to me.
My C4 does it because clutch packs are on the tight side when new, after 2-10 passes it doesnt do it anymore until i change to thicker fluid for mid summer races
I had a 77 volare it had the 2bbd carbed super slant six in it with a 727 trans. It also had a limited slip 3.55 rear. I would put it in reverse get it rolling pretty good go to N rev it up and drop it in low, it would lite both tires up sometimes. The trans got to where it would try to move forward in all gears even park. I got to thinking about it an I come to the conclusion the shift lever is out of line, so I put it in low and punched it for about 20 feet or so and slamed the shift lever in park, it would make a bunch of clicking noises, realigning itself I guess, then it would come to a sudden stop. I put it in reverse, now reverse works lol. The old amco commercial would go honk, honk Amco, I would honk twice and then say Jeff roe. I changed the fluid and filter that helped fix it for a while after that. Eight rear end swaps and two transmissions. I ended up burning up that reman trans too, and the rear end blew out again so I sold that Volare for the same $125 I paid for it, to a guy that put that engine in a Valiant.
Secret bearings find their way around each end of the shaft. Someone should be milling these cases out of billet or something that is not cast. Thanks for the info. Nitro Union runs a C Ford trans. It can take some stress. I believe the turbos like the lanky gear spread, for spool room. I just like anything, worth tearing up. How it goes back together with alterations, is the only thing the wrench cares about. I wondered if you got the Tulip valve figured out? Titanium valves could last forever. Probably worth every penny, atleast on the intake side. I'd see how many seats, and castings they'd wear out. Keep thrashing, you have the ability, money can't buy.
You are missing the rear case bushing. The engagement end of the shaft is flexing trying to stay perpendicular to the gear drum. If the output shaft is too big for the standard bushing you are going to have to do something custom... without the bushing you will keep getting failures there.
Hell yeah. I didn't know you were so knowledgeable about transmissions. That's cool as hell. I have a go to buddy that does mine. Tony Miller is da man !!! 🔥💪👍
Could you do a really in depth full assembly for the new case? I’m building from bare case as well. Would love to see every single step. If you do, I’ll grab some Turbojohn merch 😏
I have a Powerglide I am rebuilding and was wondering, Do I need to do the pump mods for a high horse power car no trans brake? It will be street driven tire shredder!!! Thanks for your time, Bradley
You can tell this ain't your first Rodeo! I'd be lost at that little bent thing that was a bit wiggly! LOL!
lol gotta be careful not to let the wiggle pin come out of the wobble shaft lol
@@brandoncarpenter4637 ✌😂 hate it when that happens!

@@danmyers9372 I know that's right! He's a damn good mechanic, I've been following him for a while! He knows his 💩
John I think it's awesome how you helped all your friends out
We all need a turbo John friend. I do
At least the glides are easy to work on, I rebuilt a 4l80e recently, lot less parts on the glide!
Yepper, I was having a laugh when they had it apart and the valve body was still on it.
TJ nothing better than helpin out a mate. Awesome content 👍💯 Aussie Fan 🤟🇦🇺😎
Always love a good turbo john vid!!!
A lot of transmissions will rock when revving them up in neutral, especially when they are cold.

Man you guys just dive right in!!!! Id be so lost, wouldnt know what to do!!!!!😁😁😁
John you know your way around a racecar.. so much knowledge
Transmissions are just so cool lol. Powerglide still to this day so hard to beat! So cool. Looking forward to the next turbo John powerglide video

He ordered a tci case or something like that. But you’re right. That output really needs rollerized
Yall ever mess with the short shaft stuff?
Hell yeah. I didn't know you were so knowledgeable about transmissions. That's cool as hell. I have a go to buddy that does mine. Tony Miller is da man !!! 🔥💪👍
I always enjoy your videos. God bless you.

Just got some merch. Good luck with getting more subs man. Appreciate all the knowledge and education you provide. Thank you
Great video you are the man very knowledgeable Hope to meet you this summer somewhere
Good old slip and slid powerglide

Great vid.
Powerslide,, what Noah used on the Ark. Fast and faster and use shitloads of fuel to do so.
