Dude! Thank you! I am putting mine back together and was debating whether or not my direct drum was fully seated... It was not! I used your method of turning it with a screwdriver (much better than my hand) and click... and another click. So glad i took a break and watched this particular video! I appreciate the time you took to make sure we know what the fuck is actually happening.
Thanks for this! I was just about to give in and buy the special service tool when I found your video, and I got it done on my 425 with just a seal lip tool after seeing you do it.
I found this video useful for my th475 build. I pickup one good tip how to drill the 7th hole. I do have a eight hole that is not that hard to do. Thanks for your time and money spent on making videos.
If your pump surface is degraded couldn't you just place a machined washer in the pump cavity and shave a few thousandth's off the gears to save the pump?
I enjoyed the madness. I watched a hundred videos on the floor L Series and so forth and I'm trying to get self-taught so I can do a few jobs in my garage. I really like the video I really like you you're smart guy thank you for sharing your knowledge
You have the best TH400 videos out here in cyberland. Much appreciate your range of product and opinion. I went with the transgo and am super happy with the kick. I work on helicopters, turbine engines and of course classic cars. Long story short I always wanted to rebuild a TH400. I can definitely do this with your vids and a good manual. Can you recommend one? Thanks! Daren
I never yet overhauled an automatic transmission, but after viewing this series, I feel confident enough to tackle this one on my 1985 M1009 CUCV. Absolutely great series, no BS straight to the point, love it! Thank you I just bought the truck and the oil smells burnt, although I can drive it as it is and I do not feel any problems. Not sure if this means that I should do a complete rebuild but I was told this is most advisable. Is there any way I can tell if rebuilding is recommended? Just to stay on the safe side, I already ordered the deluxe rebuild kit.
BY FAR, one of the best how-to series on youtube. I did a perfect build on a1984 TH400 thanks to you. Super-clear instructive mentoring, many thanks sir.
Wow that was an education, not a trans guy, but starting to understand 4l80e's reputation for durability. Got to subscribe for more info. Hey can you help with 4t65e problems?
I watched most of your series on th400 and wanted to leave you a comment saying thank you. I run a th400 in a hot rod c10 and I couldn’t hold first gear past about 4700 which drove me nuts so I got a full manual valve body and a Trans Go shift kit. One night I just pulled my trans and started cause I had the parts. With the transmission in pieces I found your vids and that weekend you helped me rebuild my transmission which now has break neck shifts and holds the gears, I love it. I am mechanically inclined but my first trans and I was scared and you helped a lot. Thank you!
I just got my first th400 rebuild an on my test drive I lost all forward gears but reverse is good I was wondering if you have any suggestions what could be wrong thanks
Please forgive me I’ve been out of the transmission business long time. Is there aftermarket bell housing to put on for different applications... thank you
