My personal "Until you worked on it" story is a guy who came in a service station for a tail light bulb in a '64 Dodge dart or some little similar grocery getter. Tail. Light. Bulb. A week later it comes in on a wrecker with a leaking fuel pump and him demanding I replace it free because my changing that bulb was obviously what made it go out. Seriously? Literally at the opposite end of the freakin' car. Get a grip. ...He left quite disappointed, with much gnashing of teeth and talk of legal action, and actually called a lawyer. After talking to said lawyer, three days later he meekly agreed to pay half again the normal price for a new fuel pump and installation. We were so nice we didn't charge him the three days storage on his boat anchor while he played "gonna sue your ass off" games. Mess not with the technicians, for when riled up we are devious little bastards.

Even though this transmission was shot and had to be torn down, this is the CLEANEST opening of a rebuild I’ve seen of all your videos. Obviously, it’s because YOU all rebuilt it. From the fluid being cherry red and not that dark plum red, the seals looking great, the drain pan actually being clean without metal shavings, the metal not being scratched all over, and no damaged or flared out parts, you all do amazing work.

@SuperMAZ007 3 года назад

I have seen a automatic transmission that was rebuild and had maybe 200 miles after the rebuild. I actually had to install the transmission and make sure the vehicle moves with the newly rebuild one. But someone in his great wisdom decided to tow the vehicle for what ever reason over 50 miles. Without taking the the driveshaft off or butting it onto a flatbed with the rear wheels. Just towing it behind another vehicle without any real speed limit. End result was the transmission stopped shifting and if it did shift it was really rough and the oil turned odd color. I don't know what happened to the vehicle but it was sure a disaster.The vehicle in question was a 1988 Ford Scorpio.

Sir, I know this video is 3 years old and I have watched several of your videos over the past few days. What a pleasure it is to watch good people doing pristine work. Over the years I figured out that I would much rather change a transmission than replace a vinyl top. I leave rebuilding transmissions to guys like you, whom by the way, are becoming fewer and further between. I have a 97 Cutlass with a 4T60E that did something strange this morning. AS it shifted into 3rd at normal speed (35-40 mph) it sounded like a small explosion, engine revved and no power to wheels. Rattling like a bucket full of bolts. Will only idle along in first gear. No reverse. After sitting overnight at work and preparing to load it on a trailer, started engine, put in drive, and it drove itself up onto the trailer. Still no other gears and only rattles when not in drive foot off the gas. If you touch the gas it rattles. Any thoughts? (Converter?)

@Jeremy-iv9bc 3 года назад

I worked on a school bus with an Allison a while back that had a busted pump. Apparently the guy at the bus barn didn't know you have to unbolt the torque converter and pull it out with the trans. When they tried to put It back in they broke the pump when they bolted it back up 🤣

Had a similar issue happen to my 60e, wiped out bushing, shattered rotor, and destroyed surface of the housing. TC wouldnt set all the way in the first 2 times trying to rotate and work it in, 3rd went in like butter. Started it up and no pressure going through the trans because rotor just chewed itself up. Pulled it back out, rebuilt it myself and on installing the converter to the new pump I couldnt get it to seat all the way again except this time I had all forged and billet pump pieces and not powdered steel. Long story short we found out the converter hub had been damaged through shipping and wasnt allowing the hub and pump ears to seat correctly.

Carry out means what exactly?

@chrismc410 3 года назад

@@dancarlos1216 i think they mean no just dropping off and carrying out the transmission to reinstall in the vehicle it belongs to. I think they mean they want the vehicle the transmission belongs to so they can reinstall it in said vehicle to avoid any possible problems or stories.

@P_RO_ 2 года назад

I can sure understand not doing carry-outs as there's a lot which can easily be screwed up. My trans guy wanted $2500 for a full job on my work van which I couldn't afford. I convinced him to do a carry-out for me (which went well since I know how to do that much with a trans) and that was $1500 which I had to borrow and that was all I could get at the time; lacking my van meant no income so I couldn't wait and save up more. OK, no real beef with the price as I've gotten my money's worth or more but in all honesty the R+R was worth at best a few hundred yet he charges a thousand for it? I don't know what Precision prices it out at but in my case you can see why so many of us want carry-out. I'll have another trans job soon on a project vehicle even easier than my last one, and I'll ask my guy to do a carry-out again- hopefully he will.

You reckon they used an impact to screw in the attachments? Oooops, the case is busted!😮

@markrichards9646 3 года назад

INAPM (I’m Not A Professional Mechanic), but I think using an impact wrench would just strip out the threads. I think they either cross threaded and torqued down with the bolts at an angle or tried to use bolts that were too big for the holes.

@ratmousebastard 3 года назад

no, those are just NPT fittings (National Pipe Thread.. the part of the AN fitting that screws into the case). They're shaped like a 'V', in other words the diameter of the fitting is smaller at the end than farther up the fitting... the more you tighten them in, the tighter they get as the diameter increases...they're designed to deform slightly as they get tighter and seal fluids very well, especially higher pressure fluids. The problem is when you use them on something like a cast transmission case, which is quite fragile. When you screw in an NPT fitting too far, it will easily crack a case. It's akin to using a log splitter wedge. So when you install them, you have to be careful to not tighten them too tight or else... crrraaccckkk. It happens all too often.

I worked for years in the Harley world and rebuilt many engines and we did allow customers to pull the eng. and reinstall it themselves BUT they had to bring the bike back to us to check their work and first start up or there was no warranty on the new eng. at all and we made them sign a contract to these terms , most guys were good with it and understood our position but a few refused our terms and went elsewhere, a rebuilt eng. at that time ran about $3000.00 to $6000.00 depending on how bad it was worn out , Quality HD parts are not cheap. Those were some great times to be alive.

I would hope, but we have done warranty work on similar customer abuse (not a trans shop, general auto) just because it's not worth the fight we know we have coming otherwise. Things like a customer coming back with a burned out clutch after 5k miles saying they have no idea why it did that, told us they tried to teach their daughter how to drive stick but she didn't abuse it of course... So we eat the couple hours and throw in a new clutch, surface the flywheel then kindly tell them not to teach anyone else to drive stick on it.

I wouldn't even offer warranties on carry outs cause you don't know how it's going to be installed. it's your word against theirs. How do you prove that it didn't fail cause of something you did. You could install everything correctly but there could be a defective part that you had no way of knowing cause you couldn't test the trans before handing it over to the client.

@albinklein7680 3 года назад

Had kind of the same experience half a year ago. I did a very rare twin cam Mercedes cylinder head for a guy who was sent to me by a friend of mine. I put close to 50 hours in the thing. Did a ton of welding, I had to line bore the camshaft bearings and lots of other stuff. And the customer torqued the camshaft sprockets with a $19,99 torque wrench from home depot. After 50 miles both cams snapped and the super rare $ 5000+ head was obliterated beyond any possible repair. Don't do carry outs for strangers.

While I can certainly understand the frustration, you can’t warranty stupidity or improper installation. Pretty obvious they cracked the case, and then tried to “fix” it with JB Weld. I have been building transmissions for about 20 years, and have had a couple come back due to install mistakes. The damage from converter insulation mistakes is pretty obvious, same with low fluid. This one clearly hasn’t had any run time. The assembly jel hasn’t melted yet, so the pump damage occurred on startup. Charge the customer for the core, charge him labor for cleaning and recasing the unit. I tell all my customers that the converter HAS to spin freely while tightening the bellhousing bolts. That way, you can catch the converter not seated before startup. I have a converter hub, along with driveshaft yokes to verify bushing fit and pump assembly. The only issue is a reusing a junk converter, trashing a fresh trans. That’s a potential headache.

One customer submerged his Jeep and almost had a nervous breakdown when he was told it was not covered under warranty, he flushed the engine oil multiple times and denied it had been under water, but the factory service rep found evidence to the contrary . Two weeks after he picked it up, [still smoking from the sand going thru the engine] he had an accident where he went off an embankment and totaled it, later his buddy told us he pushed it off the cliff since he had full coverage insurance.

If you ensure the pump body is flat before installing. the vent will not leak or the pump bolt bores will not receive enough fluid to seep through to the exterior. Never put silicone in a transmission. If you feel the need to use silicone on something spread it around the harness plug seal. That's actually a good idea.
