Inspecting a Used GT-R for Transmission Issues Before Buying | Jack McGee of JacksTrans Interviewed 

Wow, thanks Philip. I have at least 3 to 4 more videos to come with Jack. He provided me so much content. He talked about the differneces between CBA and DBA transmissions. The discussion on this topic in forums and elsewhere is all over the map. Some say there are no differences, others say you should not purchase a CBA becasue of transmission issues. Jack provides exactly what the differences are. So awesome !!

Glad I could help!

Wow, thanks! I'm trying to be helpful to other GT-R owners, and especially those potential owners that are considering getting into the platform. I was so fortunate that Jack agreed to do this interview and share his knowledge with us. I've got so much more content coming from the intervew. He talked about the differences between CBA and DBA transmissions. He also gave some solid advice in regards to modifying a gt-r's and some really interesting advice to tuners. Great stuff!!

@@The.Garage.Studio Welcome! Absolutely helpful! Awesome! I can't wait to see the rest of the interview with Jack. I have a 09' with 51k. Very interested to see what he says about the differences in CBA and DBA transmissions. Again, thank you and Jack for getting this video together.

@@larocmedia It was fascinating !! I'm thinking that will be my next one. Should be released around next weekend.

Thanks so much Kevin. I haven't shared the video with Jack yet, but i'm sure he will be happy with the views and comments like this. I really appreciate it!!

Thanks. Jack was very gracious.

Thank you so much!!

Thanks for viewing and commenting. I've got at least 3-4 more videos to create out of the initial interview. But it does seems the community is hungry for more information. So i'll likely be doing another interview with Jack. I do also want to dive deeper into the Bell Housing issue, and i've got another interview lined up for that. I'd also really like to do another interview with Tuner Sam Barros to discuss how he tune's GTR's. I think some of the intricacies of the tuning process might be very interesting.

Thanks so much for watching and commenting. So lucky that Jack agreed to do this and share his knowledge with the GT-R community.

That's so nice. Thanks so much. Jack was really gracioius with his time on this interview. Was able to create so much content out of it. Good luck with the GTR.. really an amazing car.

My pleasure.. It was a super fun video to do. Learned so much in the process!!

good luck !!

Yep.. me neither. So helpful. Makes sense..

Nice !!!!

Oh man.. you noticed.. Wife took the car and had a dog hike scheduled. The GT-R got the worst of it !! Thanks for commenting and the compliments. Jack is really great.. and to share his knowledge with the GT-R community was so awesome. I have at least 4 more videos common from his interview. It will be great stuff !!

Awesome.. Thanks for the nice comment!! Good luck on finding you GT-R !!

Hodně štěstí ti přeji! Tvoje angličtina je fakt dobra!

Glad you liked it. Got a bunch more coming from Jack. He talked about the differences between CBA and DBA transmissions. He also gave some solid advice in regards to modifying a gt-r and some really interesting advice to tuners. Great stuff!!

Thanks so much for watching. I am truly honored that Jack agreed to help me with this video. He's truly a genius when it comes to transmissions.

Thanks so much. Jack has amazing knowledge of the platform. His customers seem very satisfied with his work. I wouldn't hesitate to have Jack build my transmission, especially with his process of first testing each transmission in a GT-R and ensuring it passes all the diagnostics.

I sure miss GTZILLA. He's got a great new owner. Thanks..

Thanks so much for thanking Jack. I'm sure he appreciates all the great comments !!

Yep.. Used to put my trans in R mode all the time !! Argh!!

The GT-R's are built really tough. That launch contol is nasty on the drivetane though (launches like a scalded cat).

@@The.Garage.Studio I never use it. Always going fast from a roll.

@@TinoushGTR Wise !!

Your welcome. Hope it helped !!

I just posted this. You're quick!! Thanks. I feel very fortunate that Jack allowed me to interview him. He's brilliant.

Jack's the man !! Thanks for watching !!

Thanks for watching. Good luck in finding your GT-R. It's really an awesome car. Let me know when you nab yours!! I've got another video on how to find your GT-R.. might want to take a look !!

Maybe eventually, but i'm focusing on the mechanical side of things, and there really isn't that much difference mechanically between DBA cars. The 2017's (some call them EBA's), are quieter, the suspension is much softer, and it's more refined. The best video i've seen discussing the differneces are from the JD Archer Channel - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-aguW6QwcLAo.html

GT Content also has some good videos explaining the differences.

All transmissions do eventually.

For sure. That's coming. I've gotta do an oil change. And i've only done one in my life, so that's going to be entertaining.

@The Garage Studio yep I'm looking forward to it also how to you keep your car so clean

Hopefully it's nothing too serious. Used GT-R's tend to get the crap beat out of them. It's still a great car if it's taken care of. Good luck with it !!

That is correct. Needs to get the Transmission Oil Temp above 180 degrees.. if possible 200 degrees.. And have running for 10-15 minutes.

Good Luck !!

I know.. I know !! Poor GT-R !!

Both modes will wear the transmission early if you're in "R"mode.

@@The.Garage.Studio thanks for the reply I’ve only owned my GTR for Three weeks and I’ve been putting it in R mode every time I drive it I’ll certainly stop doing this after watching your video Thanks for the upload, super helpful 👍

@@hamradiostation_M0UGE I did the same thing when I first got my GTR. It was like muscle memory.. put it in comfort mode.. and then put it in R mode.. So funny.

Good advice.

Everyone tracking these transmissions hard and even shep uses AMSOIL auto trans fluid, don’t waste your money on the overpriced dct fluid.

That's a cool little car. In a couple of years.. i'm going convertible as well, but with probably a Ford Bronco !!!

Hm, I think the GT-R Transmission is pretty reliable givenall the horsepower, torque, AWD and how quick the car is. I've got 120K on my transmission, and it's still doing great. Thanks for the comment though !!

My tuner changed the entire filter with a washable one. Don't know what brand it is.

For stock the paper filter is fine, the minute you start making enough power to require a larger clutch pack, stay away from the paper. I have a jacks 18 plate carbon clutch and the paper filter clogged within 500 miles with clutch material.

I know. It really isn't that bad. I took one of my dogs hiking (wife had my usual daily), and now paw prints and hair everywhere.
