Mr Wizard is an accurate title. My head is still spinning after that up close and personal tutorial on 13 speed transmission!
I agree Phil, it makes more sense to me after putting the clips together. I’ll definitely have him do another soon.
Love that mural on the back of Grasshopper's cab!!
Thanks Tom
Wow the kind of education you can’t get anywhere else! And it’s old school!
I love that grasshopper graphic, I'm getting so excited to see this beauty running and driving.
Great stuff as usual! Plus educational. As far as the clutch stuff... I totally agree. I put over 900,000 miles on a 15 speed over in a 1994 Peterbilt 379. Never replaced the clutch or had any transmission problems, always started out in LOW gear & used the clutch.
I can’t agree with the clutching every gear I do agree with starting out in a low gear, whatever gear you can idle out in. Drove 54 years and never had a trans or clutch wear out
Gm. Dane scotts trucker louge☕ grasshopper coming right along slowly but surely and agian thanks to mr.wizerd 👍👍With his Well knowns about 13 speed tranmission Wow i learn something new every time i wacth your UA-cam channal my Brother dane scotts trucker louge🚛👍
Thanks Don and I’m learning too. It started to sink in as I put the video together. 😬
I love listening to guys like the wizard, they're really knowledgeable, really interesting and they don't suffer fools lightly, I could listen to wizard for hours, but don't tell him, I don't want him getting a big head now, lmao, keep up the great work Brother. 🇬🇧
I listen to him regularly add nausiem......lol just kidding, he's a great friend and mechanic.
Mr Wizard is a mechanical mathematician. You should definitely archive his segments! I remember all the critters and evidence of occupation by non humans! Bahahahaaa!!! That mural is a terrific celebration of part of the history of Grasshopper. God bless and safe travels!
Thanks Chris you too 😬👍
Worked at Taber's Truck Sales in East Missoula,Montana from July 1977 to July,1980. Got to live it many hours and days and worked on alot of trucks and trailers. Dane,this show sure takes me back and has that old school spirit. Taber Town pretty well was the whole town and it was all trucks. Taber's was primarily a Cummins shop ,but plenty of Detroits and Cats. Learned plenty!
Very cool experiences buddy, hat tipped to ya 😬👍
I was taught by a bunch of drivers who drove duplexes and Brockways and Reos . One guy had a Emeryville. This was in the early 80's. My mentorship at a small family owned trucking company. They taught me to float the gears ,along with many other things. I go by instinct. Sometimes I double clutch and sometimes I don't
Everyone has their comfort zone… it’s all good
Great video Dane. Love the mural. Adds a great touch. Mr. Wizard is the man. Wow. Your luck to have his knowledge. Thanks for the videos...
Thanks Lester, I’m blessed by his experience and friendship. 😬👍
That looks freaking awesome, that truck is going to be one mean looking machine 😊😊😊😊
Hi Dane. Grasshopper is looking great! Can’t tell you how much I enjoyed the transmission tutorial by Mr. Wizard. (Actually I enjoyed it so much I watched it twice.) Very educational. In 48 years I always used the clutch the first 40 knowing if I missed a gear I wouldn’t hurt anything too bad. The last 8 years I went to floating the gears because I was more comfortable and the big company I drove for at several times reprimanded me for cleaning my truck so I just went to do what was more comfortable for me. Anyway thanks to you and Mr. Wizard for a great video.
Thanks, and for for watching Gary. Hat tipped to your many years of service 😊👍
That kw 100 is a big job
That was really interesting and informative I really enjoyed it thanks a lot Dane and Mr wizard good job
Mr. Wizard needs to start a Tech channel. More explained about manual transmission then I ever received working at a dealership.
I love the explanation of “floating”! I watched an Eaton Road Ranger Video 30 years ago regarding shifting - always double clutch.
I know I’ve learned so much from him. 👍
The shutters and graphics on the back look great! And I have to say!!!! That black accent line on the stripes really makes the accent lines pop! Ive never even thought of that before and it looks great! I liked the education portion as well. Great info on the air operated solenoids. Great Video!!!
Thanks Nick, I’m thinking of making those dark brown to match the frame. The black is just a bit too much but the brown will accomplish the same effect visually separating the colors but not so bold.
Anyway love your projects as well. 😬👍
@@DaneScottsTRUCKERSLOUNGE the brown is a great idea as well! Cant wait to see what you come up with!
Dane i thoroughly enjoyed this video !! I drove tractor trucks over 17 years !! I always double clutched when i shifted. Thanks to Mr Wizard, my practice of doing that has been affirmed. Thanks Mr Wizard and thank you Dane !! Much blessings.
Thanks John, he knows his stuff 😬👍
Grasshopper is lookin really sweet!!
You are 100% right about the decal, I worked in the body shop of a big moving company back in the day. That paint job is AWESOME, as old as that truck is those gears looked pretty good.
Your experience never ceases to amaze me Russ! And thank you 😊
@@DaneScottsTRUCKERSLOUNGE Hey Dane did you ever think of doing a Cannon Ball G.M.C. just a thought.
Dane I love the mural on the back of grasshopper. I would have never thought of what all the rodents meant until you explained it I think that's the coolest thing since sliced bread
Lol thanks Brian. These old trucks can tell their story if we “listen” lol. 😬
Grasshopper looking great! And Mr. Wizard might have to change his name to Mr. Genius!
Thank you but let’s not get his head too big… we need to get a lot more work done under the cab lol 😂😂😂😂
I’m digging the grasshopper graphic, definitely want to get a mural done for my 93 once it’s painted!
There ya go. A little personalization makes a truck more memorable 👍
Always a pleasure. Thanks Dane.
Thanks Terry
Awesome! The new technique looks like it's working!! If you try to learn something like that on each new truck, you'll be a world class restorer!
The black pinstriping is perfect! I would completely outline all of the gold that way.
I'm surprised to see the inside of that transmission painted with Glyptol or whatever.
Thanks Dan your right, I’m getting the hang of puff can painting just as I’m about finished lol. Yes that trans was rebuilt right before it was parked in 79.
I must say Mr Wizard is quite the Big Rig Guru!!
Yes sir
Another great video! I really like how your videos are evolving they are very neat to watch!
Thank you Jason and for watching 😬👍
Wow Dane that is looking great!! I've been looking all week to see if you had posted. Love the cab overs, my dad owned a couple. Keep posting, and keep rockin brother musician
Thanks Robert you do the same 😬🤘
Great video Mr Scotts grasshopper coming along good to see transmission being worked and seeing some knowledge about it good those guys are looking out for you and helping you I hope you have a good weekend be safe buddy 10-4🚛
Thanks Melvin, it’s true Jm blessed by so many knowledgeable and experienced guys . It’s good to share the knowledge too.
Interesting about clutch use i was taught to float by my Dad before i ever started driving for living and have done it like that ever since but good to learn of potential failures do to that.
Dane great video k100 looks great so does the paint ,I just pulled my back of trans to fix stuck range cyl shaft 👍
Thanks to him I can picture what you had to do....always learning. Thanks for the support :)
Really like the graphics makes the truck pop!!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊
Love the grasshopper mural! Looks like the grasshopper from bugs life! 👍
Dane Grasshopper is moving along nicely.
Good luck buddy
Nice
👍👍👍
Can't be a double clutching gear jammer without using the clutch :-)
Hello driver! What an amazing ,interesting , and educational video on the transmission! He would make a great teacher! Keep up the good work pal! Until next time driver 10-4 im gone...
I agree, he knows his stuff and been there and done it a few times lol.
Mr Wizard is a smart old time gear guy and verified why I use my clutch. Obviously also feeling the syncronizer and felt grooves and saw it was still usable. Good gomments for the schooling. And your piece by piece restoration of small panels sure is countering the rumors of 10K, and up, paint jobs . Good thoughts about the options when installing the decals . Great stuff ! Regarding pre selecting the splitter in changing ranges , also wears the syncronizer, I'm sure .
Thanks for watching Dan, thanks for reminding me about pre selecting I should have asked him to cover as well.
You can preselct high or low range. It wont shift until you are in the neutral gate. Im jot sure ypu can see it, but if you look close inside the transmission behind the slave valve there is a plunger sticking out. It mates with a plunger in the shift cover (where the forks are). If the shifter is in gear the plunger in the cover pushes the plunger in the case into the piston in the slave valve. ( iston is the part 1/4 on one end 1/2 on the other) There is a groove in the piston the pluger goes into. It prevents the range shifting high or low. When you go into neutral springs return the plungers and that allows the piston to move and complete the shift
The guy that taught me to drive truck told me always us the clutch he said it was hard on the driveline the clutch feathered it in.
He was a smart man 😬
O-H-I-O Porters🇺🇸 Howdy there! GH is coming along nicely! I bet you’re glad that you took the back of that tranny off! Did you flush it out or are you gonna take it all the way out? I like seeing all those gears. Takes me back when my brother would work with him taking transmissions & rears apart. What an experience! It’s cleaner on this end though! Hahaha! He also taught me to clutch when shifting, no matter what! I still do that. It’s good to hear from a professional what happens through the process of shifting & what happens when you don’t clutch! Such good stuff! 🥰🥰✌️
Yepp, he really knows his stuff and so glad he insisted we do that. Thanks Paul as always 😬👍
@@DaneScottsTRUCKERSLOUNGE 🇺🇸 Good morning my friend. I believe I told you before. This KW, aka GH, quite reminds me of the 1969 KW that my dad had when I was a kid. I was so infatuated with that truck it seems. I could climb up in it at 5 yrs old & take a nap in the bunk. They found me there a few times. Hahaha! My brother had it out on a trip, was coming back thru KY, and it caught fire & burned to the rails. I heard my dad on the phone & I was crying cause I thought my brother was in it. I sure was happy when I found out he was OK. It was sad to see the frame rails at the garage when it was hauled in. Well, that’s my old KW story. Sad but true. Have a double portion today & be safe! Blessings. 🤩🤩✌️
This transmission appears to be in good shape.
It was rebuilt right before it was parked in 79.
that was excellent 40 mins explaining about how a gearbox works and the do and don'ts about not using the clutch rather than the usually 10 - 15 mins of showing what I have done rather than showing us how you have or actual doing it infront of the camera and the rest of the time chatting about complete and utter rubbish
As Mr. Spock would have said, "fascinating". It is fascinating how transmissions work.
Ok, no more hate for you using the clutch while shifting. Wait a sec... I never said anything about that! Did I?
Lol, I can hear him now. And I don’t think so 😬👍
So for a technical question can that 13 speed be converted by leaving the main box on the truck..And just change the rear tail.stock..?
Grasshopper coming along nicely...cant wait to see how you cut the frame for the spliced new rears...
The only modification with the main box in the truck, would be to a 9 speed. Of course that would require a longer dtive shaft. You would also lose the overdrive. It would be like 12th in the 13 speed
Those who know these old transmission are becoming fewer and fewer. His knowledge is invaluable.
That’s a fact! I’m trying to retain as much as I can.
yall gang were living in the truck when you got it ?
All dead but yes. 🤮
Looks like you know what your doing lol my sign guy sprays then squiggie it out
That’s a safer way to do it in case there’s problems but I’ve just always done it dry. Thanks for watching 😬👍
@@DaneScottsTRUCKERSLOUNGE you can tell you’ve been doing it a while grasshopper is looking good keep the videos coming
I always suspected those really long shifters were a bad idea, Mr Wizzard just confirmed it.
Yes sir, somewhere along the line somebody pays the $ for vanity 🤷🏼♂️
Did u go to Mid American truck show?
No, I may consider it next year as all the UA-camrs are wanting to get together there for a meet and greet
Absolutely nothing wrong with not using the clutch IF you have the correct finesse. You have to have just the right timing between getting out of the fuel and moving the stick so your not dragging the clutches. I'd guess most do but some do not. I driven millions of miles without the clutch with no damage.
@@DaneScottsTRUCKERSLOUNGE there were alot there this year.
Excellent tutorial by Mr wizard .. enjoyed this vid
Thanks for watching 😬👍
