Awesome!, so helpful and I appreciate it greatly.

Saved me 1000 dollars, thanks

Excellent! Thank you!!!

Top quality.

Thanks for the videos. I have a hurth hsw450 1:1. After running it wide open for an hour it blows fluid out on the input side. It happened twice after replacing the input seal.

Thank you !!!

Very good video just rebuild a 72c but my rear output flange is leaking , i have put right stuff and got a new flange and it still leaks any advise ?

Hello from Italy, explain to me the cause why in my inverter the shaft oil seal was expelled by the oil pressure? Another time, however, did the oil come out of the upper breather valve? Does it need to be overhauled? Thanks for your answer...

Chris, excellent stuff! I have a 72C mated to my starboard 454 Crusader that rotates the shaft while in neutral. Not very strong, I can stop it with my hand but it's not supposed to do that. Fluid levels are normal, both cold and hot. What do you think is the cause?

Hi...can I change a rear bearing without having to pull the drive off my motor...have access looks as though they are a snug fit, just need to remove nylock nut/rear bearing plate/gasket and should have access to bearing ??

Houlaaaa! :) what great work!! where to find this rear bearing mine also is 1.1 my bearing has play, I am in France ,merci.

Hi, I have an AS15-71C with a 2.91:1 reduction gear box. In the video you mentioned that there is a different rear seal for that. The kit I was going to order is the velvet drive 70C 71C 72C marine transmission super master kit on eBay. Do you know if that kit would likely have the correct seal?

Great video, you do a terrific job of explaining all the parts and pieces. I have a question, what would make the transmission slow to shit into and out of gear?? I have 2 Chrysler 360's and when I shift the port engine into gear there is a good 3 or 4 second delay before it goes into gear, the starboard engine does not have that delay??? I would love to know why..... Thank you!

My velvet 1:1 pump have a damage is it same pump fits for the 1:1 velvet and 1.56:1 velvet? I have one velvet 1.56:1 velvet drive

Hello, I don't understand well with the translator, so this diverter can turn perfectly in both directions provided that the pump is reversed? THANKS

What happens if the plates in the forward clutch gets overheated?

Where is we can buy repair kit of this gear box

Do recommend the old style velvet pump that the front pump seal can`t blow out. or the new style that presses in from the front. or does it matter?

Any experience on 73c 3:1 ratio? Mine suddenly dropped forward gear without any slip. So now i hane neutral-neutral-reverce. Any suggestions?

Saludos hermano me pudieras decir está caja cuantos HP tiene

Morning fantastic video i have learnt a lot from this video , i have a 72c connected to v drive on boat could you possible tell me what holds the v drive to the transmission or will it come apart when i remove bolts kind regards

Nice. It was like watching Steve, at his bench, calling it as he pulled down an auto AT. If only they knew where and how to look. The rest is basic 101 stuff. Super complicated cagofarfilistic 😉 😜

Hello from Austria, I have a problem with my velvet drive 10-16 which is used in my jcb wheel loader model 520 4hl built in 1984. When I put it in reverse everything is normal, but when i put it in the forward gear it feels like the clutch is slipping and there is not much power at the output shaft. When the oil is cold it works better, but when its getting warm it gets worse. I think maby the o-rings of the forward piston cause the problem. I hope you can help me with my problem. With kind regards Marcus

I’m about to tear into this 1973 71C transition. It had well over 125 psi in reverse using the test port you show. After rebuild, what type auto transmission fluid do you recommend? Thanks

Hi I have a Velvet drive 1:1 AS1- 71c, red tag, serial number is 105456... it only has 1 x reverse clutch disc, is that Normal? Rob

Helli sir, My gearbox reverse clutch only have one brass plate(Not 3 plates like yours)… is that normal?? I am not sure which marks and model is my velvet drive but it is connected to a classic 260HP Crusader engine

Hi. Are you sure that the ring is not in the groove in 14.24? According to the repair manual it would be a snap ring. I have a little groove there in my velvet

Is that transmission a Worwagner?

This video pair is a beautiful thing, my only issue is the aluminum piston is stuck, air moved it a 1/8” but no further. Should i be able to spin it in the cylinder? Can’t do that either, being aluminum i don’t want to force it. Cheers!

Hy can tell my where i can find this test table for velvet transmission ?

What kit brand do you recommend. Also where can I buy the kit from?

What would cause knocking sound in a velvet drive?

I noticed the pump arrow is pointing left. That is a starboard trans as noted on top there. Mine is a V drive starboard and pump shows pointing right that i just took out. Is that because of the V drive? I would love to send you a pic. I hope my rebuilder got it right. Is starboard considered Standard rotation ?

Just need to let you (to release my velvet drive model) that my oil baffle is steel made(Not the plastic one like yours)

I have a velvet drive stuck in gear does this mean it needs rebuilt ?
