We are so lucky to get all this knowledge from an obviously very intelligent perfectionist ..you could never buy this knowledge anywhere.
Thats his Dad
I agree he should have a transmission rebuilding school , it would probably be very hard to land a spot ! This gug is a transmission wizard !
@@stephengordon8968 Would be hard to find appropriate pupils, tho.
yea transmissions are a fucking wild wickedly giant achievement by mandkind. the insain amount of engineering and precision that goes into them is mind boggling
@@stephengordon8968 ah. When I went to trade school for automotive. Transmission class both manual and auto were most fun class including suspension
I've been in the transmission business in the UK(Scotland) for 40 years and you guys are Top men--- my regards and respect--- thank you
Thank you very much from this owner and builder
I guess im randomly asking but does any of you know of a trick to get back into an Instagram account?
I somehow forgot my account password. I love any tips you can offer me.
@Jason Yahir Instablaster :)
@Lane Zaiden I really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and im trying it out now.
Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Lane Zaiden It did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thank you so much you saved my ass!
Hopefully this shop has 5 or 6 young men learning from this wealth of knowledge 👊👊
This guy know so much about about transmissions he has ATF for blood
Incredible knowledge and very impressive to hear and watch!
It does appear he's done this before.
yea i dont think its good for him lol
He actually does have trans fluid in his blood, all that absorbing in his skin..needs to wear some gloves.
Its only crappy gms...so not really
Addictive videos you guys are making. I can’t stop watching them.
Me neither
I’m hooked!
This is worse than my beer drinking habit!
I've binge watched for nearly a month in the evenings. Now I'm watching morning and evenings. ;-)
Same here - the tutorials and knowledge are so relaxing and informative.
Agreed. I own two of the dodge diesels and I need to go see him for a much neededed upgrade. Doing a GM governor pressure and BD diesel transducer upgrade today.
Is there anybody on the planet that knows more about transmissions? Richard is a master.
Top Dead Center yea on the planet
chuck norris :)
Depends on the trans...4r100= John woods... His knowledge for that trans can't be matched.
Quite honestly I'd expect any reputable trans shop with a long history to possess this knowledge.
I mean, making sure drive lugs are fully engaged? FFS, that's some entry level shit right there.
Probably only a handful, less than a 100, that are at or above this guys level.
Not that I would ever dive into an auto trans, but when you hear Mr. Crich say it’s a 7 hour build, it makes me glad I’ve never attempted it.
took me a good week to rebuild mine. its a bunch of damn work.
F*ck ! 😂
@Brian Reed Maybe less for one with less clearance measurements. 7 sounded quick to me!
Cool so I'll have mine done in a week😂
7 hours for him, 40-50 hours for us mere mortals. he probably has clearances and torque specs memorized forward, backward and upside down
ATS stands for another transmission soon
Are they really that bad ?
I've not heard one good thing about them, to bad considering I just bought a truck with one of their transmissions in it
My friend you should manufacture your own line of transmissions build to your specifications based on your extraordinary knowledge. You know how these transmissions function and fail better than Dodge, GM, Ford, etc. You are a true professional, a rare breed now a days. Thank you for your honesty and quality of work. Thumbs up.
What a shame...ive heard so many ATS horror stories. The only thing you get with them is a deep pan amd a nice paint job. Richard you the man!
You can only polish that pile of shit transmission so much. He covers pretty much all of the flaws with the design and sorta kinda talks about some of the ways to fix it, but there's a lot of that trans that you simply cannot fix.
@@scottleggejr you're wrong there. All the top level diesel guys 2000+hp run a 48re. Duramax power stroke Cummins they all run a 48re because they have figured out how to build them strong as shit. Stock they are a joke we all agree
@@iD0theTUBE That's why the 7000lbs 1000 horsepower trophytrucks in baja run culhane 4L80e trans for a thousand mile jaunt down the beach? How many 48RE do you see in drag racing applications? That trans is a notorious pile of dogshit. I assume the puller rules state that you have to run powertrain from the factory so they bolster up that pile of shit to get the cummins.
@@scottleggejr @Scott L if you want to get technical most trophy trucks run a turbo 400. Some run torque converter sequentials. Only some prerunners use 4l80es. I think it comes down to gear ratios and possibly development. While I agree that a culhane t400 would probably work they almost all run 48res. There are no rules pertaining transmissions in the UCC event (sled pull, Dyno, 1/8 mile drag). The way the diesel trucks make power is way different than a high hp gas truck too. I'm sure that plays a role
@@scottleggejr I don't know of any built 4l80e transmissions that can hold 3000ft lb. Allison cant do it either, 4r100 maybe.
Got to have a press to rebuild that overdrive.
The man is like an encyclopaedia/parts breakdown with part numbers all in one! Truly amazing to watch and listen to him. I have learned a lot more about automatic transmissions since watching his videos. I knew virtually nothing about them, other than put the lever in park, drive, neutral and reverse! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge.
It's always a pleasure to watch a master at work.
HOW the HELL does this guy remember so much about individual units !!! You're freaking amazing.
When that's your specialty, it's the repetition. Like how I know all old Fords use a Fram PH8A filter, cuz I've used em for 40 years. He knows the numbers for MANY parts.
He does this all day, every day.
Ive installed a couple of these ATS transmissions in some decently powered Whipple equipped Rams... they never lasted long.
From all the research I've done ATS is JUNK!
By whipple do u mean supercharged
Yes, Whipple, that manufactures superchargers and components.
Thank you. I would never buy an ATS after seeing this video.
My grandfather was a mechanic for over 40-years...really had wished i paid more attention when he tried to teach me things as a young man!
Love watching an old dude who knows what he's doing.
Document and film all of this man's knowledge so it can go down in history. Priceless. No one else can tell you these things.
Know what ATS stands for? Another Taken Sucker. What a rip! That thing barely belongs behind a healthy 318, much less a torque-monster Cummins! Unbelievable how they had that aluminum planetary in the back & hyped it as diesel capable. Special place in hell for crooks like that.
Super enjoying this one Professor. From one tech to another, I'm in awe of what you do. Feed me more 🤤
I don't know know where you got this guy but he is a genius. People with that depth of knowledge are few and far between. Thank you!
Owner took it to the right place, good move. ;)
We don't care about a mic just keep these videos coming!
Not me, I want the mike AND keep the videos coming!
I think the mic is fine. Its just the camera adjusting the volume, when hes using his impact. Maybe theres an option to change that volume adjust from auto to manual.
Why is watching a transmission tear down so satisfying? Thanks for sharing the knowledge too!
Epic fail for ATS, like they only cared about selling a "Branded" trans as a upgrade. i feel sorry for the owner.
Great video! Sad to see once again how ATS cuts corners on internal parts. Love the content...one of my favorite transmissions(torqueflite family). Can you show details on parts used on rebuild? Be cool to see a timelapse of the entire assembly 😎
What do you care? You wont find out the cheap parts anyways.
There's a circular ring wearing on the back of the shell when he took it out you could see where it was binding or wearing against something
Hey guys, thanks for doing these videos. They are awesome. I'm sure it takes extra time to do it, just want you guys to know it's appreciated.
I've personally bought 2 ATS transmissions both 48RE. 1st was warrenty after the OD locked up and blew the case apart with only 150miles on it. Took 3 months to warranty. Which they stood behind. They sent me another stage 3 48RE. It came as a Modified 47RE case. It lasted about 12,000 miles. 2006 5.9 with nothing more than a SMARTY. ANDYS transmission in alpena Michigan rebuild it ... i demanded the gay purple be removed. A local transmission shop built me a 48RE that is still in the truck 183,000 miles later.
Aluminum doesn't belong in any diesel seeing early stuff in a "built" 48re that's a bummer but its purple!
Coming from a guy who as had multiple decent hp cummins trucks. 47RE second gen around 700hp and last 04.5 CR truck with built motor and lots of fuel and air. Right around 1k hp. I learned early on ATS is bad. I always ran all goerends stuff and found a good builder. Last trans never had any trouble. Would refresh it once a season at 1k hp. Had everything billet you could do. All shafts drum servos levers ect. Talk about alot of money in a trans...
I've got 430,xxx miles on my '95 Dodge/Cummins, with 323,000 on the ATS Stage IV trans I had built & installed at ATS in 2001. I've towed heavy, street raced with the TC locked, and driven 90% in town driving. It's never let me down, and is still going strong. The trans parts in the above video are not ATS upgrades. I'm thinking the P.O. had the ATS "rebuilt" with stock parts at some point. And the fluid!! I change my trans fluid every 20,000 miles with 3.5 gallons of fresh Dexron III--with ATS you don't need the full synthetic stuff.
That is a clean cut son you have there I would be proud to have him as my helper and son not too many around that give a crap anymore.
I've rebuilt engines before, but every time I watch someone take apart an automatic trans, I might as well be watching someone disassemble the space shuttle! I love watching, though
I needed a video that would empty my head like a hollowed out coconut after writing one report and before starting another, and this did it.
i love watching someone who knows his trade *thumbs up*
Gentlemen, automatic transmissions are indeed incredibly complex with so many variable nuances. I can fix just about anything, but I am convinced that there are “transmission experts” and then there are guys like you who are at a level ABOVE expert. Allison transmissions are supposed to be top-notch, but you just proves how even those can be built incorrectly. I am STRONGLY considering getting my next RAM Diesel transmission upgrade through your shop. I appreciate your honesty, integrity and experience more than anything. Keep up the phenomenal work!
In the diesel industry we used to refer to ATS transmissions as "Another transmission soon". Overpriced junk. Installed five different ATS Allison transmissions for a guy in one year because they kept burning up almost instantly, one we sent back because when we took it out of the crate the pins on the harness plug were corroded to death... you could tell they took a junkyard core, slapped a rebuild in it, painted it and shipped it without any testing at all.
Automatic transmission always fascinates me,this guy knows his business,I always learn something from his viy
Not sure why. But I could just sit and watch this all day.
ATS will be watching this to see how to do it correctly. Essentially what this video is saying is dont buy from the big "name" diesel shops. Go to this man.
Ever since watching his videos, I've learned a great deal about transmissions.
Appreciated very much You showed also dismounting from car! Thanks from Slovakia. Looking forward for 3rd part!
this kind of knowledge can only be obtained by rebuilding 100s of these transmissions. Great Job
Richard is the Bob Ross of Transmissions
I got the top of the line ATS with the forever warranty for my 01 dodge..told them what I had built Cummins compounds ect.. broke it 4 times in a year! So much for an $8k "blowproof" trans
Awesome info, a lot of knowledge, I have a 2005 ram 3500 with 48re with 118,000 miles on it, used for towing, 2WD, wish there were people around madison or milwaukee, wis with this kind of knowledge, TX is a long way, this is the type of guy I would like to rebuild my 48re.
I've never wrenched a transmission in my life but I am still fascinated by the videos on this channel. Lapel mic or not, it's still top content.
20:24.......wife calling.
Nice job on the breakdown and explanations. Auto transmissions are their own art form.
This is amazing.... it must be nice to know how to tear apart and fix the most complicated part of a vehicle like it's a toaster. lol
1.6K+👍's up guys thanks again for taking the time for us all
Just the way he digs in and tears it down you know he’s done a few in his day. Really hard to find this level of knowledge anymore.
every once in a while i think im gonna order an upgrade rebuild kit for my 47rh and make a weekend out of it. thank you for reminding me why i dont.
6:46 LOL As though after watching these someone would even attempt doing this! Thanks guys.
My edit; I think there are 3 types of people that watch these. Folks that make a living at doing this very same thing. Folks that are fascinated by the content. That would include me. Then the folks that will with no real previous experience try to rebuild their transmission. Or as Richard and Trent refer to them. Future customers.
My trans went out a few months ago and I have been looking into getting it rebuilt (again, after a poor rebuild a few years ago). I found this channel, have watched 100+ of their videos now, even though I will never will work on an auto... I called and talked to Trent yesterday and will be bringing my truck to Amarillo soon!
I am one of those "Folks that are fascinated by the content."
Started as #3, but it turned me into the second(not calling myself#2😆). I won't be doing anything myself, and unfortunately I live too far to be a future customer for them
Not only the knowledge to take these things apart but the knowledge that it took to think up such a system blows my mind every time I think about it
It blows my mind how much knowledge he has of transmissions. The next one I get built is going directly to him, no one else.
The humblest man alive .Keeps calm and just stays humble threw out it all .
I was looking at an ATS tranny too....glad I saw this.
I am never going to do any work on any automatic transmission, and still watching all your videos😂😂
Awsome guy with much know how👍👍
Chocolate syrup instead of transmission fluid? Who knew?? Congrats ATS for mastering purple paint.
These guys are Awsome. It’s always a pleasure watching a craftsman in his habitat
Don't know why youtube sent me here. But I'm amazed that this complex machine has all these electronic parts with some kind of oil on them for some reason.
Trent, I hope you are retaining everything that your daddy is teaching you. He is amazing with a transmission. You can be the best since you have the best as a mentor. His knowledge is PRICELESS. Carry on your daddy’s hard work.
It's like a train wreck.....I can't look away. Thanks for the great videos!
I have no idea why I watch this guy but it's fascinating.
Another gem! Your knowledge Richard is just mind-blowing - of course years of experience but even so - it's just fascinating watching you at work. :)
A good and honest trans tech is worth their weight in gold.
I would love to see the Seven Hour rebuild with you explaining your new parts. I always wondered what was in a transmission.
This i so impressive the amount of knowledge this guy has you can tell he has been doing this a very long time
I've been building car's and Engines of all types since 1990 and the average person doing the DIY wouldn't believe what comes out of an average transmission. I love the fact that everything you guys take out and apart you explain what everything does and how they get worn out. And i love the fact that you guys replace the lower grade parts with almost top of the line stuff weather it needs it or not. I can tell you take great pride in your work. KEEP UP THE GREAT VIDEOS AND I REALLY WISH I WAS CLOSER TO YOUR FACILITY. I WOULD HAVE EVERYONE AND MY OWN TRANSMISSION REPAIRS. THANKS FOR YOUR AWESOME VIDEOS THEY HAVE HELPED ME WITH CERTAIN PROBLEMS I'VE HAD THAT WENT UN ANSWERED EVEN FROM A SHOP THAT SUPPOSEDLY HAVE DECADES OF EXPERIENCE. YOU GUYS ARE BY FAR THE BEST I'VE EVER SEEN. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK
I refuse to have any of my auto work done by anyone just because every time I have, something has come back broke wrong or the whole thing was wrong and not properly done.
I did a 47 RH years ago; started to slip so I took it to trans shop. It was determined that piston seal may have rolled or had a cut in it; other than that I was told that everything was correct with rebuild. I was proud of myself other than the cost/ problem of having to take it somewhere for diagnosis. It was a good experience for me.
The one dislike is from ATS
What is ATS????
@@ronspruill5112 a diesel aftermarket company
And 76 friends
In process of watching EVERY VIDEO lol.
I want my trans serviced from you guys. As soon as she is ready we will make the drive from Illinois to yall.
If my trans ever gives me problems, I will drive from Houston to Amarillo. You guys are amazing.
Good job on the videos. Really can see what your trying to show. Thanks for your guys time.
I get pissed off just thinking about the transmissions Chrysler put behind the Cummins...
I had a 6.7 with a 68rfe, and it was beyond disappointing...
My 47re made it to 250k with an extra 150 hp on it, it really ahit the bed on me:(
Trans mechanics are a different breed. So much knowledge. Keep up the awesome work
I don’t know anything about transmissions but these videos are really entertaining to watch. Really dang cool.
None of my business but seems like you have something else on your mind, the kind that puts people in not so good moods in this video. Whatever it is I hope it’s over, I really appreciate all the knowledge you pass down to us.
i could watch these videos for hours. very facinating and that guy is awesome
I love how this guy actually says that people do this at home. After watching him even slowing it down to a crawl i couldn't figure this out. If my allison ever blows, it is going to Precision I don't care how we work it out, this man is going to rebuild mine. lol
The wealth of knowledge he has about ATS's is amazing.
ATS = Another Transmission Soon
😂😂😂😂
LOL with Respect 😂😂
Yep I had a stage 3 ats with the co-pilot controller in my stock tune only 08 duramax completely went out 2 months after warranty fell off they wouldn't help me at all.
Their first mistake is trying to selling transmissions to pilgrims. There’s a reason why most quality transmission shops refuse to sell “take-out” transmissions. You simply cannot control the quality of the install.
Wow very impressive very impressive they made it so easy it's unbelievable the knowledge they know I admire you guys so March awesome to watch it's very intimidating
Thanks again for the video guys. Was expecting to see something really chewed up after seeing all the metal in the fluid.
Trent mentioned microphone again but when you are as busy as you are it probably isn't at the top of the priority list.
Regarding a video you made a short time ago about your qualifications or experience; If anybody who, in the past, were making negative comments are watching this video, take notes because you are getting another lesson here.
That planetary set looked pretty torn up.
@@Sicktrickintuner True
Literally ive learned more from the 3 videos I've watch then I have the last 5 years of actual going to school and working on cars
Holy cow, I'll never look at another auto trans the same, man there's a lot of intricate parts..wow..great video..
its so great watching a master of the trade sharing years of knowledge!
( always) in awe, watching you guys build & tear down these "mystical" things...
i appreciate yall investing yalls time ,just so "us" dummies can watch ( drooling ) how in hell ? what.? wow..!
* thanks ya hear.
Man this guy knows his shit!!! I wish I can get my transmission rebuilt by him. He’s not too far from me either...
7+ hours for him = 3 really long weekends DIY. Plus you have to know everything he knows and not forget something along the way.
I think there's times when it's both wise and a bargain to hire an expert and let him do his thing. I wouldn't take out my wife's appendix, LOL! 😂
took me 2hrs to replace front band on my 48re and i felt like a wizard..now i watch this guy just tore the whole thing down in 15mins lol
I wish I had a local shop that I could trust as much as this gentleman. My daily is synonymous for having transmission issues and I’m almost positive I’d rather lose the money on trade than spend half that much taking a chance that a local shop would or could actually fix it!?
You're watching a dying breed with this man. Truly a master of his craft. Guys like this are sadly disappearing in this country. Without the next generation carrying on these skills, we will be in a world of hurt in 10-15 years. Nobody wants to learn how to repair and improve things anymore. That's why we keep getting the same old crap and worse these days from everything...vehicles to appliances. It's been a sad thing to witness these last 25 years. With the country's middle class being gutted and all but wiped out, I hope we can bounce back and correct things before it's too late. There is huge opportunity in the trades for intelligent people. There is plenty of opportunity to earn a good 6 figure income, raise a family without money problems and retire comfortably. Do what you enjoy and you'll never work a day in your life. Be of service to others in all aspects of your life and you will have a life well lived.
Great information, I am currently digging around the insides of a 1991 dodge 727 cummins diesel. When you mentioned the output shaft and its backlash, I was wondering how the that shaft would move in and out along with the clearances. Most of the those parts are very similar to what is inside the a727 1991 model trans. I'm glad I subscribed to your channel
I’ve got four customers with ATS trans and I’ve got four customers that are not happy. Go OEM or jasper if you want warranty
I'm so glad to had found your channel. Education at its finest thank you for all the information. You can watch build videos all day, but your the only one that I've come across pointing out how CRUCIAL clearances actually are, as you lead off onto to next item of discussion. Excellent job ✔
JEEZUS! Lookit the size of that converter and pan! That trans meant business, and the dude STILL smoked it! That mustve been a $1500 converter, huh?
You only get to know as much as you do with many many years of experience, respect from across the pond
You want to know why this man is a Transmission specialist? Note the grey hair. Life time of learning, doing and progressing, this is what will be missing in the world soon, I worked in a tooling dept for 40 years and these kids coming into the work force today do not have the attention span to progress, they get frustrated and no longer listen and just shut down. Truly a master of your trade partner, it's good to see a professional and a young man trying to learn from it. I haven't had that privilege in 10 years now.
