Installing and testing a sketchy $400 transmission

- Опубликовано: 21 ноя 2023
- Welp, another video. This time featuring the 2010 mustang, and finally getting around to addressing the bad transmission. After getting a (possibly too good to be true) deal on a used unit, we install and put it to the test to see if it works. I’m not even sure if this is the correct transmission, year, miles, nothing. Let’s just get it in and try it out.

CONGRATS ON 100k SUBS IM PROUD OF YOU KEEP UP THE AMAZING WORK KEEP UP THESE NICE CHEAP AN RELIABLE CAR BUILDS
Thank you so much! I’m so excited! I could ask for a better group of subscribers for the constant support and positive comments. Thank YOU
I agree- keep doing the amazing work you do. Every one of your videos is great!
@@MXguy95you are a very good presenter, your instinct is good, so relatable and you have access to great stuff in the SE USA.
@@MXguy95get ur uhh what is it the subscriber play butten yet?
I like the way most of these cars nowadays say in the manual that you never need to change the transmission fluid, so when it does go out they tell you that the warranty expired.
Exactly! They started this crap back in the late 90s (with fords that I know of anyway) and it just got worse from here. Since then companies have been making money selling aftermarket kits to add a functional dipstick and larger capacity fluid pans. It really helps to prolong the life of these transmissions. We bought a new Camry years ago and it had “lifetime transmission fluid” with a 10 speed auto. Yea NOT, I had all the intentions of changing with my own service interval but we no longer have it. Put 60k trouble free miles on her though! Carried us all over the northeast and southern states
@@MXguy95Subaru is bad about that lifetime fluid bullshit
There are reasons for this many car companies have come to the estimation that their average car will last 130 to 150k tops before it's junked so they designed the original fluid to last roughly that long The dipstick was partially removed but also because it saves money and that's one less thing you have to route through the middle of the engine being that we don't live in a front engine rear wheel drive world anymore there's a lot of weird twist and turns the dipstick has to go on to reach the transmission
IKR< I have a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee and I have about 170k miles on it, the previous owner did the maintenance on the regular, the Car Fax history was flawless... I have done the same within since my ownership, especially with the Transmission, Transfer Case and differential. I am a stickler for that stuff.
Congrats on 100k, been watching your channel for over 5 years, proud of you and keep up the great content!
Heck yeah. Congrats to 100k subs. I have been tuning in for years watching your channel. I dont ever really comment, but keep up the good work. From over here in East Tn. Gatlinburg area.
love mustang content and old cars, really love in junkyard you fired up one and brother in his home was years ago awseome to see your dad around I really prayed when he had the transplant Jay
Congrats on 100k subs!! I've been watching on and off since the scrapyard days, I'm happy you've come so far. I enjoy the taste of old RUclips I get from watching this channel :) Keep being awesome!!
Recycling at it's best, and a happy sister! Well done on the 100k subscriber's Jay, Always enjoy your posts 👍
If hes commando under the kilt he can hike it to the public and proclaim "Feast your eyes!" 😂
CONGRATULATIONS on getting to 100K subscribers.! Best of holiday good wishes to you and your family. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!
Loving the new find of your channel mate! Subscribed from Australia 🇦🇺 😎🤙
Wow! I've been thinking how you've been so close to 100K subscribers seemingly forever, and now you passed that milestone! Awesome! Congratulations.
Thank you so much! And I like to say thanks for that dirty old green dodge getting us there! I give it the credit, and you guys as viewers for watching. Thank YOU!
That was one of the stupidest things forward ever did build a transmission. You cannot check the oil in
100k subs!! Nice! Been stuck on 97-98 for a long time. Congratulations!
Damn about time you hit that 100k subs I've been waiting for that for a long time. Congrats Jay.🎉🎉
Happy thanksgiving!!! Happy 100k!!!! This is an awesome year!!
It’s been a long year with lots of ups and downs, but I’m still going to keep pumping out videos and I appreciate your support after all this time! Happy thanksgiving!
@@MXguy95 always here dude! You know how to entertain and be fun to hang with
I see that you finally got to 100k subs! Congratulations! 🎉🎈 Nice Car too!
Congrats !! 100K subscribers. You rock, dude.
Thanks a million!
I've been waiting for a long time. I was getting pissed that we needed just a few more subscribers. Sometimes I'd flip off the computer screen !! HA!!@@MXguy95
I can't help but watch the fuel gauge. It's sucking fumes! This gives me anxiety just watching and thinking you're about to run out of gas any second!!! I have never seen the components of a transmission before this video. This was great!! I better not have any problems with my 2013 MKS with only 50k on it when I head down to Cocoa Beach FL on this Saturday. I had my local garage go over the whole car and it seems to be in excellent shape. Happy thanksgiving man!!
I’m in the repair industry, not the fuel station attendant devision 😂
I’ve had people tow in cars for “no starts” that were simply out of fuel. That’s the most expensive 5 gallons of fuel you will ever purchase 😂
Transmissions are some complete creatures, besides simple repairs and swaps I don’t do any internal rebuilding in customer cars. Your Lincoln should be just fine, however if it’s a 3.5 that timing chain driven water pump would be the scariest thing for me. Good luck and happy thanksgiving, best wishes on your holiday travels buddy!
Thank you so much!!
And the TPMS and seat belt lights were annoying.
@@MXguy95 now I have something to worry about......the water pump......
Still a very nice car for almost 200,000 miles. 👍😎 Excellent gamble......I mean, work, Jay! 😄😄
You got that right!
Hey, jay! Another day at the shop,huh?for $400 you better hope your sister’s car runs good on that transmission you put in-you took a gamble and it paid off-I remember you fixed your other sister’s car way back-it had some electrical issues and you cleared the problem-I liked her channel! Happy thanksgiving to you and your folks!😊😊😊😊
Hellow jay hope you an your family have a great thanks giving buddy
For ages you were at 96K subs, then it was 98K last week or so, then all of a sudden you are at 101K! Bizarre that it would jump like that all of a sudden. Anyways congratulations MX 95
Happy Thanksgiving Jay and Family.
100k subscribers!! I knew this day would come for a loooooong time but crazy to think it's here. Right before Thanksgiving too!!!
I for sure thought it would come in the following year. It had been such a slow crawl, but Christmas came a month early for me, and I couldn’t be more thankful for everyone who watches and made this possible.
@@MXguy95 I definitely knew it would take a bit but I also knew it would come. Been watching since 2015-2016, haven’t stopped yet! Keep up the great work!!
Strong, good, loving family. 👍
Congratulations on 100k!
Congratulations on 100k subs my man!
Happy Thanksgiving, Jay.
Happy 100k Jay! Good nite from across the mountain in East Tennessee.
From the other side in western NC, Thank you! Happy thanksgiving !
Reminds me of my daughters, they bring me their cars to fix with the fuel tank on E and the tpms light on too.
Cool man ! After the test drive , did you check the fluid level again?
I like that gauge cluster.
Awesome job
I'm glad things worked out Jay! 🙂👍 Hope you have a great Thanksgiving my friend 🔧
Thanks buddy! Happy thanksgiving to you! And it’s still working as of now, we will see in a few thousand miles 😂
100,000 sub! Let's gooo Jay
Right on man, very cool when things work out. It helps in life when things go good sometimes. Take care man love the videos.
Ah the good old 5R55S. The Intermediate band is usually the first to go on those. Fun fact, they were also used in the exploders of that generation. Since you can't check the fluid level it is usually too late before the damage is done. Lack of fluid changes and a poor design is what causes these to fail.
The explorers in my area are junk. (Lots of mountains and hills) Ive replaced numerous transmissions in those, usual the customers opt for a rebuilt unit, or a new one altogether. We also install the heavy duty pan, and dipstick kit when doing that.
Never in f150s. Rangers, explorers, mountaineer, aviator.
@@MXguy95I should have installed an aftermarket pan when I rebuilt mine but boy are they expencive .
I do know you have to reset the learned shift points and calibration with the scanner so it will re learn
I'm guessing a fuel pump will be next in that car being how it's on dead empty 😂. jay you have to reset the shift points and calibration . it learned and stored the trans slipping . must reset it . not clearing codes actually reset the calibration ,. look it up any time the trans is rebuilt or replaced must be done or trans will shift like s'h¹+ great video though so glad your pops is doing ok
Nothing better than work with pops .. turning some wrenches
Congrats on 100k subs Jay!! Where’s the play button going?
Jay, try change the fluid with valvoline maxlife atf, it would cure the delayed shift to drive, i tried once in a mazda 3 that had delayed shifting to drive, and changing the atf with valvoline maxlife cured the symptom. Hope it helps! Happy thanksgiving to everyone!
Not bad at all for a $400 transmission. And good job on the repair.
I love the tremec manual transmission in my 09 gt shifter is butter smooth
wow congrats for youre hard worck jay its cool
Yay!!! Finally 100,000 subs
I h8 sealed transmissions, taking away the dipstick was oneof the stupidest decisions the automobile industry has made ever. And I work in a transmission shop.
You said there was a flare into third, but I couldn’t see it. I hear another sound, maybe a wheel bearing? Otherwise that trans seems solid 👍
Happy Thanksgiving 🦃 Jay
Happy thanksgiving friend!
May need a little more fluid, nice looking pony 🐎
Be a good brother and filler up. 😊 Great video 👍 👍
🤨 If I squeeze my last dollar any tighter it’ll turn into a diamond 😂 she gets fuel discounts, she can fill her own car up
Nice work
I think you should do a question and answer live stream.
A momentary delay when first shifting into drive on a 100k transmission isn’t that uncommon. Maybe a solenoid kit would help and running some fully synthetic ATF; plus nursing it along a little and it will last awhile. People tend to forget or neglect changing ATF and never do it. As in, ever! They also think whatever ATF was poured in at the factory is the best stuff going but it’s usually the cheapest thing the manufacturer could buy in bulk.
Those gambles almost always work. I bought a trans, and case, for a 2000 Explorer 5.0 and the trans was perfect, just the case needed replaced. Guy knew nothing about it and it was $100. Winner.
You should think about visiting a casino if you're on a luck hot streak. Hahaha. $3800 seems like a lot. But a buddy bought a '15 Camaro SS that he thought was a great deal about 6 months ago. Shifting is getting more erratic in the last few months. So he checked and most places want between $5k and $5500. Some more. Yikes!! I'll stick with my hooptie cars LOL.
Nice!
Thanks!
I enjoy your content i have a request whenever you time lapse the videos can you add music with it
My trans was going out on my '11 Maxima while driving it home after buying the car. I was prepared though, because I knew those cvts weren't the best. I got lucky getting a used 400 trans. 1000 for labor. Bought and installed by a mechanic at a Nissan dealership. My luck ran out again after it was stolen a couple weeks after 🤦
The Nissan CVTs are garbage, almost as bad a Subarus, I hate that happened to you, hopefully your luck comes in with the new year !
@@MXguy95 Right. I love the vq engines though. Thanks man. Been watching your videos for a couple years. I rewatch that sn95 gt video a lot lol. Sounded amazing.
@@turbo1997hsm I need to post some videos of dads new sn95 gt. It’s a 5.0 car. We just had the exhaust done this summer and it sounds pretty good now. Those Vq have a very distinctive sound to them, I always know it when I hear it
@@MXguy95 I had a chance to buy a 98 for 700, but it was so rough. They sound good with flowmasters. If I buy one, it has to be a 5 speed. My 350z had that trumpet sound, but the Maxima sounded better. No trumpet noise. When I put it in sport mode, it simulated shifts. Sounded similar to cars like the CT5 V6, Xe v6, and the Stinger V6. I was surprised.
I hope this transmission will last, I’ve been trying to get you more subscribers for years!
Thank you Michael! I really appreciate your support after all these years!
Nice
Nice 😀
Hello Mr jay I’m hoping you could give me a helping hand on a problem I have. I own a 97’ Tacoma and one day I went to start her up went for a drive and the truck seems to bog/stutter when accelerating could it be the fuel filter I already changed the plugs and coils and it still remains any clue?
Check the mass air flow sensor. It’s located on the air intake tube between the throttle body and the air filter. It comes out with two small torque screws. Clean it out with some approved mass air flow cleaner really really good. Or replace it all together. And try that. It’s common on those to cause a bog and lack of power
Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!
Keep running that fuel tank low you're going to be putting in a fuel pump. S197 uses a submersible pump and they can easily burn out if the tank is consistently under 1/4 of a tank
True but… it’s not really this guys problem.
Get you to nearest filling station
How the hell do you check the trans fluid when there's no dipstick? Take it to the stealership and pay them to check it,or what?
There is a special tool that threads into that drain plug and acts as a “straw” that goes up into the transmission. Essentially if you put the tool in and fluid comes out afterwards you let it slow down to a drip and it’s full. Although, you can also drain it completely and measure how much fluid came out 😅 it’s a garbage design.
congratulation's 😍🙏Jay on finally after a long wait getting your 100k subscribers . I am an avid watcher from Melbourne Australis 🦘🎉🌈
Hi Gary! Way across the pond, but I greatly appreciate your support nonetheless! It’s been a long journey and I’m just happy to share my happenings with all you great folks! I can’t wait to get some more content out before years end
I definitely would have replaced the torque converter
I just did what was asked of me, I too would have replaced the converter. I did flush it out thoroughly before installing it Atleast
10:27 I am trying not to be rude but It's called flex plate.
Guyz this literally is my car the fluid flush worked for me last week
As mentioned in the beginning of the video, we did a flush, solenoid change, and adjustment to this transmission over a year ago and it lasted until now. Just time for a rebuild or replace and in this case we lucked up on a cheap trans. Seems to be working well as of now
I don't like it all if not old school mustang keep it😊
These days, the new part is a gamble. Worse gamble, seems like sometimes. Just try with something cheap.
Agreed. It’s world about the salvage part.
I don't understand why the rebuild price is so expensive
Maybe parts prices? Or just labor? I’m not sure, I was quoted by multiple places and all were about the same.
Like
Not a bad car, really. Worth giving a few more years of life to, on the cheap.
That was the thought process anyway, if this transmission carry’s the car for a few more years it was worth it. Cars paid for, not showroom, but not ready for the scrapyard yet either
DICAPRIO QUE PASO
Get her a Corolla or something.
For $400 I would have gone through it 1st before installing it possibly purchased a rebuild kit just in case $400 that's real sketchy
I coulda took it apart I’m sure, but putting it back together might be a puzzle my noggin can’t comprehend 😆 hence the gamble
@@MXguy95 true u lucked out with that transmission usually when u hear $400 transmission u expect a time bomb
@@chrisbaughman9860well, we’re not out of the water yet! Let’s give a few thousand miles and I’ll report back
@@MXguy95 true your right
Why is every car you get into empty 🤣
People like to live dangerously I guess 😂
I don't understand that crap,I really don't like to let my car get under about a quarter tank before I fill it back up.
That mustang is ok, but she aint no type 10 hatch
No she is not! I have a few things to mess with on it before I pack it away for the winter
@@MXguy95 I just packed away my Z24 convertible for winter a few days ago. We had a week of unusually warm weather so I drove that while I had the chance to.
@@williamsinger4124 unfortunately due to some rusted fuel lines I didn’t enjoy it much this summer. I even have an AC kit to install but never got the chance. I’m going to get it towed down to the shop (I live too far away to drive it) and patch that line and change her fluids. If nothing else, she will be ready for spring!
@@MXguy95 maybe I'm in the minority, but I love that little car so I hope to see some repair videos of it when you do.
@@williamsinger4124 I hate filming the repairs on that car, it’s my pride and joy and … she’s a little rusty underneath 😞 but I might bring everyone along for the repair anyway. It was o hard finding a hatch in the first place, I wanted a running and driving unit. Didn’t have to be showroom. I got the best of both worlds. Runs out like a top, looks good from 10 feet. But not too nice I’m afraid to drive it. We were in the process of moving too after I got it, and put us further north and in an area where they salt. With the already crusty underbelly, I don’t want to expose her anymore to the winters. Im glad you don’t run your z24 like that too. I want a vert z in my collection next
I hate a muscle car with a v6 I am a v8 man
Need gas
Every time 😂
And air in the tires,TPMS light on. 😛
New muscle cars are junk I like cars from 1923 to 1995
Wear your seatbelt
Your better off putting a 5 speed manual transmission init the automatic suck ass
Cost effective and time of the essence this was the easiest and cheapest route. But it would be a ton of fun with a 5 speed!
@@MXguy95 yes it would be if had the funds to do it
