I've watched every one of your video's on the other channel and on this new one and I have to say that I truly love the way you and Teresa have such a wonderful marriage and friendship. I have also learned so very much by watching what you have done over the years and I have used many of the tips and tricks you show.
Always great videos Richard and Teresa.. like the guy, John, you mentioned I too have watched all the videos. I’m 77 and been a mechanic since I was 16. Always learn something new every time your on. Keep’m coming!
Someone must have converted that 63 Catalina to a turbo400, originally it had a Slim Jim or what I think the factory called a roto hydramatic. What does it need to do that swap? Have you ever done any work on a Jetaway 4speed hydromatic?
Few suggestions if i may, With the power that engine makes, it has exceeded using vacuum modulated line pressure control. You're not doing him ANY favors running that stock style body and a vac modulator. Has it been done with a stock VB for years? sure, but why not give him the best, like an EA or Hipster valvebody, they're VERY affordable now. He's at the level that trans should be 180+psi constant pressure (no modulator) AND a billet full manual valve body. If the vacuum doesn't drop under boost, which it won't if it's not hooked to the manifold, then he'll have a low line issue. Trans-go makes a VBP check valve for modulated trannys to relieve boost and not destroy the modulator if he MUST run this VB. Also, in the forward, DO NOT leave the center seal out, it only creates an extra harsh forward engagement. There's NO performance benefit like it does in the direct drum, if you look at the drum, there's holes that feed from one chamber to another, so both will get filled.
Thank you for your information but all that I already know plus more been building high performance tranny all my life but we’ll get this taken care of and it will be the best unit he has ever had. Thank you.
Hey Richard - I had the trans on my 2003 Crown Victoria serviced at your shop back in October of 2021 on my way back home from the Grand Canyon. Time to do it again. Did y’all use Mercon V ? I don’t want to mix fluid types. Thanks.
Richard maybe you can help me out, where would a good place be to get a hold of a kit for an old torquflite transmission in a 59 imperial be? I find plenty of 727 kits, but this transmission's a little older and push button.
Don’t know what you’re talking about repeat uploads all of our videos are new video every other day or so as many as we can keep up so I don’t know what you’re talking about. Repeat uploads. but if you must have a great day.
They will sometimes put the video from the new channel over on the old channel. You don't know what you are talking about. There has never been a duplicate video on this channel.
