      The reverse gearing and the forward gearing both engage, locking up the transmission, which then applies all the torque that the engine and torque converter can produce into attempting to spin the locked transmission. I'm no transmission expert but that sounds like a BAD day to me!

Why not just 'place' the item down in some sort of logical, tidy order? And the heavy parts being dragged around across the bench this way and that. Why bash the end of that central shaft up against the bench trough to release the inner drum when there is a soft mallet actually to hand on the bench? Does any of this mis-handling improve the transmission - would it score you extra points in a supervised technical examination?

      @Qui-9 3 роки тому +2

      There's a common misconception that automatics are less reliable than a manual because there are more parts. That is simply not true before they wear down to that point. All the parts are new on each new unit, and the lifespan of each part is not affected by its proximity with other parts.
      When a machine enters the phase where a significant portion of the parts are beginning to wear at different rates, then yes, you'll have to replace more parts in the same time frame if it had more to begin with.
      If there's anything that fueled that misconception, it's because an automatic transmission contains parts which are more prone to wear in the first place, such as valve parts, seals, wear rings, clutch friction material, a filters/strainers, etc. A manual has synchros and the clutch is external. Things like that.

Had it chipped(old obd1 prom shit right there) well I kept blowing up transmissions, and me thinking nothing of it kept replacing them as, welp you cant modify a transmission. I learned my lesson long after that car died.

Rip it apart and throw all the parts in a basket and into cleaner and then rip open a rebuild kit and slap it all back together again. I was amazed and thought I could never do that. From carburetors to valve jobs…..then to full engine overhauls and then when I was a senior in HS, I could rip the whole drive train apart and put it back tougher again. I would balance the engine so that you couldn’t tell that the engine was running. Takes desire and time to learn the basics and by then you start suggesting modifications to make it run smoother and more efficient. It all starts with sincere desire to learn, plus respect for those who did it before you. In my case, my Dad is my ultimate super hero!

    Mr. Richard, Ms. Theresa and Mr. Trent, thanks for your videos. When I was a kid in college in the late 60's and early 70's. I worked in a SERVICE station in upstate New Your, not a gas station. We did all kinds of work, brakes, suspension, exhaust, starter/generator rebuilds, clutch replacements, engine rebuilds/swaps and anything other shops would not do. That said, transmissions were not in our wheelhouse. They were kind of 'black boxes' between the engine and the 3rd member, especially automatics. We typically sent them to a transmission shop, both automatics and standards, to be repaired, and never spent any time learning them beyond R&R. . Watching your videos has educated me in how automatic transmissions work. Your encyclopedic knowledge of all the transmissions that you see in your shop is amazing. Your videos have been very enlightening for me in how modern automatic transmissions operate. I wish I had known this back in the day. Thank you and I hope you and your family prosper at your shop, you are a true craftsman. And scratch Annie's ears for me.

    Great video! Guys like this in their crafts are amazing. 30+ years of doing their work they become masters. Notice how he knew down to the bearing what was right and what wasn’t. When you go to a pro shop and get a quote, this is what you’re paying extra for. A quality job done and a transmission that does its job the first time. Great vid. Would love to see you reassemble

      rebuilt ones seem to go for about $1500. let me tell you...the guy I got this truck from just replaced the transmission shortly before I got the truck and it blew up 3k miles later when I was on my way home. no towing, plowing, etc...he bought it from some one on marketplace who rebuilds them. Not worth saving a buck. pay a REPUTABLE shop with an old white guy for an owner. .
