Well, I'm not going to say anything that you already haven't heard, so here it is, nice video, very well presented and edited. At no point do you explain which end of the socket goes on to the wrench, and which end goes on to the fastener. So many videos get caught up in telling you which end of the screw driver goes in to the screw, that it fails to actually give you the information that you need.
Perhaps if one doesn't know what end of the socket goes into the nut...or wrench .. perhaps auto mechanics are not their thing and maybe should take up another hobby. Round pegs do not go into square holes. Have you ever seen that children's wooden game? Sorry I will never dumb down my videos to a kindergarten level. Also is it a VIDEO, NOT A BOOK. If one cannot have the attention span to actually watch what I am doing then that person needs to think about another hobby. Skill is achieved through practice.

@@GearBoxVideo I think he was being sarcastic and praising your video for not dumbing it down.
I know that. I was just adding my reasoning
@@GearBoxVideo my bad, hard to gauge through text.
Paul, I'm a 68 year old shade tree mechanic that has done most of my own repairs for 40 years. I purchased a TKO 600 used and put it in my latest project (87 Cutlass). This trans worked well but leaked like a new puppy. I have changed transmissions and clutches but always had a pro repair or rebuild my trans. After watching this video, I dismantled the TKO and resealed with anaerobic sealer and replaced the input and tailshaft seals. I'm happy to report that this was a success! No leaks and it still works! I followed your video to the letter and had no problems. Thank you for your how to videos.
Glad it helped
The best 1 hour video that I have ever watched! Thank you for posting this. I watched it on my ipad, paused it, took a piece apart, un-paused it, and watched more...before I knew it, my TKO-600 was apart!
Seven months later and my TKO-600 is running and shifting smoothly thanks to this video. No leaks! I can't thank you enough for posting this. My TKO crapped out while I was driving my 428 powered Mustang in Korea. There were no shops that I could drop it off at so I pulled the tranny and fixed it myself in a spare bed room. I ordered a new 2nd, 3rd and 4th gear as well as some new synchronizers. I was also able to swap out a lower (higher) 5th gear so that I can now cruise at a higher speed with lower RPMs. I had some help from a TKO shop in Michigan to ship my parts out to Korea. I went step by step, took the recommendations on lube, sealant and even the dreaded ring pliers! Your tips on needle bearings; I was able to do it right the first time! Thank you! James Musnicki
I know nothing about this stuff, but I love watching this guy. Great job explaining it to us normal folks ;).
Thank you.
+gearbox video
Peter I know this dude is spot-on isn't he I'm with you I don't know much about it but it brings me back to my childhood my friends and I changing each other's transmissions and motor work lying in our parents driveway or right out front in the street holding lights for one another listening to Led Zeppelin Pink Floyd The Doors etc.... we had great cars 1971 Chevy Camaros 1969 Chevelles with 396 Big Block Hurst Shifters we didn't know how good we had it
Best education ever.
My 4th gear in my tko 500 seems like neutral what would cause that
When I was in manual transmission class, I shared this video with my professor and everyone in the class loved your explanation, Paul. Thank you for inspiring our generation. It was an honor to have you in our classroom just listening to your video and learning.
Much appreciated. What school are you attending?
Universal Technical Institute, sir.
Which city and state
Irving, Texas.
In around 2002 or 2003 I changed out the .68 5th gear for the .83 overdrive in one of these. That was one of my most favorite car projects ever and watching this brought back some good memories. Thanks!
I really hope that making these videos are worth your while somehow income wise. Because they are an amazing resource for those of us who are visual learners. Seeing something done step by step, I won't forget it, but learning from scratch from a manual has always never been easy. Thanks again for taking the time to put these together for all future viewers like myself.
I wish I had the time to do more.. Working on it.
Paul, you are the best teacher of these manual transmissions. thanks for taking the time to make these man. keep it up! thanks from Atlanta Georgia.
Thank you!
Appreciate that.
Thank you for making this video. You showed me how easy this transmission is to work on and helped me be comfortable with replacing the main shaft on my TKO 600. No press needed! It's videos like this that help others do new things and I hope the views and likes help you.
Thank you
Changed the synchro's out on my 3550-2 after watching your video, It made the rebuild straight forward with no problems. Love the video's that you do, it helps us shady tree mechanics save a ton of money.
That is great to hear.
I replaced the TH 400 automatic trans. with a Tremec TKO 500 in my '73 Vette. The co. I bought the Tremec from said that they set up the shifter tight so that it wouldn't be loose after it broke in. It was atrociously notchy at first, but it has become fairly smooth after a couple thousand miles. Thanks for your very interesting videos!
That is a GREAT swap. Way more fun to drive a Vette with a 5-speed that can handle the power of the modem V8 builds. My dad had owned Corvettes from 63-05, including a 91 ZR1 with the OHC engine. He always said that he would never own a Vette with an auto. The 69 he kept until he died in 2014 went from the Muncie 4-speed to the TKO in 2007, he LOVED that change.
It's amazing how much knowledge you have on the rebuilding process. You are able to just throw parts on your bench in no order what so ever, and you still know exactly how they go back together. Even the smallest of parts, shims and bolt lengths, you know exactly where and how they go back together. That's pretty impressive. I have respect for your work, well done.
Thank you
Thanks for taking the time to show others how its done
You're the man Paul! your transmission videos are the best on the web!
Hi Paul. I am glad to see you gave the tip to unglaze the gear cone. You gave me that tip some years ago when I could not understand why 5th gear on my WC T5 would grind with a new synchro ring. The deglazing tip was the solution.
Thank you very much for making and posting this video! I’ve got a TKO 3550 with a cracked case at the trans fluid drain opening.
Note: Be very careful NOT to over tighten the drain plug!
Amazing the high quality of information available in any of Paul's videos! Thank you.
As usual another excellent how to video. Thanks again I can't wait for your next video.
Hello Paul,
I'm a 63 year old gear head in Western Canada eh. Have done lots of mechanical work, engine builds and a few muscle car resto mod builds but have never worked on a manual transmission in my life other than r and r jobs. I bought a TKO 5 speed with a broken 5th gear and shift rail from a buddy. He injured the trans behind a turbo LS engine so he went with a 4L80E instead. When I got the TKO trans it was in a box completely disassembled. It was a .80 OD unit and I wanted the .64 OD so I ordered the parts necessary to do the repairs, and also got the improved carbon fiber synchro rings, along with the different main shaft I needed in order to change the OD gear ratio. I used this video exclusively to accomplish the re-assembly of the trans. I could nitpick a couple of things where I had to change the assembly order sequence a little bit for my application but it was no big deal at all. Paul you did a great job on this video and your instruction was excellent. It took me two evenings on the work bench at home to get it all back together and operational. I feel a lot more confident now working on a manual transmission and have a much greater understanding of their inner workings. Thanks for taking the time to do this it is really appreciated.
What type of oil do you recommend in this transmission?
Cheers!
Thanks for the feedback. I would use Pennszoil synchromesh in the TKO when using the carbon fiber rings
Thank you for sharing this! What we did in the aircraft repair industry was draw an outline of the panel on a piece of cardboard, then make small holes for the screws/bolts in the same pattern as the panel, but on the cardboard...with an awl or small screwdriver, then punch the bolts through. Same pattern; helps ensure you put different length bolts in the right spots.
Great lesson on the TKO. That hint on standing the case for the reverse shaft install is priceless for my patience. The 5th gear needle bearing install can be done similarly, assemble the parts then drop the bearings in one by one and manipulated with a zip tie into position as needed. For me its much easier than tempting fate trying to insert the clucth cone through the bearings greased into the hub. I'm clumsy that way.
sounds kinda weird, but I usualy have music playing in the shop... but for the last two day the backround sound has been paul and his smooth explanations … I think im learning subconsciously as Im getting stuff done..
Pro rebuild. Thanks for taking the time to make the vid.
Paul does great work, detail oriented, good work never goes out of style. Still waiting on a T-56 video. ;)
I agree .
@17:55 you showed the 5th gear anti rotation ball. When I replaced my internal speedo gear I made the mistake of moving that shaft by hand. I had just enough slop to allow that ball to fall out on the bench I was working on. After I recovered from my mini stroke I was able to figure out where it came from but I was not a happy camper when I watched the mystery ball hit the bench.
Great video. I used to enjoy watching my uncle rebuilding transmissions as a kid. Keep things in order, that covers inexperience to some extent he said.
Great point!
I’d like to say thanks for this video. Helped me out a ton when I bought my tko600 broken as a basket case. I also had to transfer parts to a new case along with some new gears. It is faceplated, so not a big worry on the synchros. It’s been together for years now behind my 626hp sbf. Hundreds of passes. I happen to love theses things, lol. I’d also like to mention that lower bearing race in the front for the cluster shaft is different on a tko600. It goes in from the front and the cluster will not go in with the one you have in the case there. My new case came with the race like you have there already installed and it took me a while to figure out what was going on there being my first time having one apart.
Yes the TKO 600 is different with that bearing. Problem is because of the assembly people have to be careful because of leaks. Usually I will pre assemble the lower end with the front retainer, case and tail and set my preload of the cluster gear, then remove the race and apply aneorobic sealant to that bearing race and bore
Excellent video! Very thorough narrations and provided lots of tips. Great job on the editing too! That makes a big difference when watching stuff like this. Now I know what to expect when I pull my TKO500 apart to install carbon blocking rings. Thanks for all your hard work on making this!
Thanks for watching.
Learned quite a bit from watching you do this. Very detailed and precise. Great videos!
Thanks!
This box looked way better after Paul touched it up all the bolts and cover were rusted Paul does awesome work Sir .
Bing watching all of your videos. They're definitely coming in handy with my manual transmissions class. Thank you!
Great. If there is anyway I can help your class with books or anything contact me. Details in the about section of my channel.
I have owned 5 TKO500/600 units and only had to repair one of them due to bad 3-4 shift. In Mustangs with T-5, I will nuke the T-5 upon anything requiring removal of the trans. The one TKO that needed repair became my "practice" trans I used to disassemble and reassemble many times. Honestly, I have never found sloppy workmanship in a TKO I bought new but have seen some half-assed repair work on used ones. I bought my first one in 2005 when the T-5 decided to literally explode with housing parts lying on the ground. Yep, right at the tree, it hooked and BOOM, the track guys were furious as I rendered the right lane useless for around an hour on a test/tune night. 😂 No more T-5, "World Class" or not. These days we only have 1 drag car and that is a PA Pro Mod C4. Just too many issues at important times. Great video for someone not wanting to spend another 2500 on a new TKO. 😂
The T5 was never intended or designed for drag race use . It was only designed for the power levels that the stock applications had
Great video, actually watched DIY twice! After watching I searched the web for tko that needed rebuilt for a project to no avail :(...keep up the good work
Thank you.
Just sent a tko600 back to seller. 2nd gear grinds and third gear whines. Now I know what work is involved. They will repair and return.👍🇺🇸
Hey Paul, Great video! I am still building transmissions on Long Island 40 years later!
Great to see you here Frank!
enjoyed it.....detail was second to none.....thank you paul!
makes you appreciate the simplicity of the t5
Great job now I know what to expect. Hopefully the new ones are better. Jeff 1971 C20 project.
I am 1/3 through the video and loving it. Thank you for doing this. I will share this with my students as well.
Awesome, what school?
The HS is Memorial HS in a town called West New York... but that is located in NJ, 10 minutes from the George Washington Bridge. You can see NYC one block from the school. Anyway here is a link to my students work. mrgrosingersclass.blogspot.com/
Amazing work these kids do. If I'm up that way I'd love to stop by.
Absolutely! You would be a great influence on the kids. Feel free to give me a shout anytime. email me and I'll send you my number. ron.grosinger@gmail.com. plus I keep an Instagram with updates on the students work. MRGSWORKSHOP
That walk at the beginning was so natural
I’m in the market for a transmission right now but I’m running into some issues. I have a beautiful 85 mustang notch with 37k garage kept miles and just built a 347 for it. The motor is supposed to rev to 6500 rpm per cam specs but realistically I would say from 5800-6200 rpm. Tremec is saying the tkos shouldn’t be shifted above 6k rpm. I sought of had my mind set on the tko. My motor should make around 450 hp. Any suggestions??? I could use some help. The 6 speed tremec is pretty expensive with bellhousing and all. You’re very knowledgeable. People are lucky to have you and RUclips around for help.
Budget wise its hard to meet your requirements other than go back to a 4 speed Toploader
great video man, buying a used tko600 this week and now I'm not afraid of a rebuild with your great video with detailed instructions...i know you said they aren't great transmissions but I'm tired of 3k at 70mph in my super t10 equipped 81 Camaro!!! thanks again for the video, definitely subscribing
Your welcome.
I'm always afraid to take apart a transmission. Thank you very much for taking some of the spookiness out of it.
Thanks for taking the time to make such an excellent video, Paul. That trans sure is stout inside. Must take a lot to break one.
Really don't see them break much.
I’ve had my tko 600 for 6 years no issues
Well Paul, I have to say I think I've learned more about gearbox operation and layout from these videos than just about any other source I've ever come across!
At some point I need to man up and do a rebuild on my Porsche 901 side-shifter transmission from my old 914 (all the joys of a super small 5 speed with the added joy of it also including a differential!) I wish they were as ubiquitous and simple looking to work on as the Muncies and Borg-Warner/TREMECs are. (Well, as simple as you make them look at least.)
Those are not that hard actually.
GearBoxVideo It's not too bad, I'll probably get a few more thousand miles out of it before I decide to tear it down since I JUST got the car on the road, biggest issues with it is a very, very upset/worn 2nd gear synchro, needs to be either double-clutched or very slowly shifted from 1st to 2nd. Other than that a general tendency to be slower/more effort to get into/out of the other gears once it's warmed up, I'm blaming those on synchros and possibly the wrong type of oil. It sat for years though with an unknown service history, so I'll tear into it eventually!
Great video, I was hoping Paul would do one like this on the TKO and now we have it! Thanks.
Hope you enjoyed it.
After I load the needles in a gear or counter shaft I put them in the fridge for 10 or 15 minutes and it firms up the trans gel so you dont get drop out.
They don't drop out with the proper assembly gel. So you shouldn't have to use a freezer. My shop is in Florida and never once have I had to do that.
Great video. I remember the Pokémon Go hype. At least it got teenagers off their phones and out of their bedrooms. Then they got out walking while on their phones.
Great video, I have a tko 600 and would feel confident tearing it down after watching this! thanks!
mr. Paul, you make look like it's easy! I'm always impressed with your skills.
Thank you!
Please do a complete tear-down & rebuild of a TR-3650!! No one out there has had any good videos regarding the TR-3650. I'm getting ready to do a ground-up refresh on my 2001 Bullitt (135,000 miles), and having a go at the transmission is one area that I'd like to address (in particular, the syncro's). As the original owner, I am also trying to keep the Bullitt as original as possible, so upgrading to a different trans is out of the question for me.
It'd be great to see your take on this and to know where the problem areas lie with this transmission so that I could address them with any updated parts.
Btw, loved your collaboration with Eric the Car Guy a while back!
I watched the video and called Paul and got his synchros. I have heard a lot about the carbon fiber lined synchros but figure I’ll trust a guy that has this many years of experience and go with what he recommends. I just put it all back together and hope to get it back in the car next weekend. Between this video and the Tremec service manual it’s idiot-proof. $65 for 5 new synchros was amazing too when you’re used to $105 each(!) for Porsche 915/930 boxes.
I don't sell carbon lined rings for the TKO. I use my own forged rings which work better than the aftermarket rings.
@@GearBoxVideo Sorry if I wasn’t clear- I used your rings. Thanks again for the video and the parts!
Please keep us all here updated with the results
@@GearBoxVideo I am curious to know why use your forged rings instead of the aftermarket carbon fiber lined ones. I just learned about them when I watched a guy's video redo his tko and used those carbon fiber lined ones. Also, his tko had PLASTIC shift fork pads and they were in pieces. My tko is about the same age as his but mine has only 3k miles. I'm thinking it also has those plastic pads.
The carbon ring is a Lined ring glued onto a cast machined brass ring. So you've basically machined down and weakened the structure of the ring and bonded friction material to it. The rings just balloon open. The intellegent way as designed in the T5 and T56 is to use a steel shell and bond a lining to that
I vote he who rebuilds gearboxes like this 'earns' their money.
Paul thanks for the shim kit I was able to acquire the zero endplay on the countershaft with just two thick shims. Appreciate it.
Thanks, glad it worked out.
Whoa Rhonda is real!!! I thought she was just a part of the website ages ago. She always spoke highly of Paul back then!
She is very real...I have to deal with her crazyness everyday.
I was holding my breath seeing you put the fifth speed ring shaft in at 45:39! haha!
Hi, Paul another great video. Glad to see you back 😀, Keep up the great work.
Thanks!
Man excellent work I will be referring back to it often I'm sure , my 600 just stuck In 5th gear after a down shift :( thanks for posting
Ps. Any part# for those nice sycros u used ?
I sell them on my website
Another great video Paul. I learned how to rebuild a Muncie M21 from you and now a TKO600. Very gratifying. Question - Before installing a new TKO600...are there any pre-checks that should be done besides running through the gears and spinning the input shaft?
BTY and for your info...When you buy eggs save the carton they make great thing to put things in and you can mark them with a black marker as what they go for.
cool idea
Can't wait till you do a rebuild on the TKX.
Hi Paul, I'm here in Jupiter. I called you a couple of weeks ago about parts for a Tremec 3550. You referred me to a company and I got the parts. Thanks to this video I have the transmission rebuilt except for sealing it up. And of course I cleaned the case, all the parts and the debris magnet throughly! Do you still recommend anaerobic sealant for assembly? And, what transmission fluid do you recommend currently? Is Dexron VI ok???
comprehensive and through, tnx a lot paul.
Thanks for watching. More parts drop this week.
I can take one apart just like Paul and that's where the commonality ends. Then I have to throw it in the junk pile.
I like the way Rhonda is always in a pissed off mood Aha haa haa.......
I have to say I have had a good experience so far with my tko600 in my foxbody after having my t5 blow up on me I also did a really long brake in on the transmission I babied it for almost 5000 miles and I changed the transmission fluid 2 or 3 times during the brake in I don’t know it I got lucky or it’s how I broke the transmission in but it shifts smoother than my t5 and I haven’t missed a gear bang shifting or driving it normally I have really enjoyed it
Man the new case is very nice.
Very good vid, the best ive seen so far! Thanks for sharing.
Appreciate that
thanks for making this videos !!!! Very - very professional !!!!
Agreed, thank you.
That intro so just too funny!!!!!! She sure was a little cuttie!!!
I've watch this for video a few times I'd love to see you take apart a T56 so We can see the guts send the inner workings to compare it to a Muncie Richmond or Tko Design Wise
When I can purchase a T56 core at a decent price, I'll do a video.
i know what you mean, people want crazy money for even high mileage units
I wached your video. My european rally car has a tremec TKO600 wit little shifting problems. I learned a lot off your video. Thanks
Thanks for watching!
Ive heard several TKO owners say they dont shift smooth or out right shifting problems for a box that cost this much I'd expect a better overall unit.
Thanks for another great Video. You are awesome always do a great job at explaining everything once again thank you
thanks
When will you be doing a TKX version rebuild?
That is the all new "TREMEC" everyone is in a craze over now... I have one also..
I have one in the shop. On my list of videos
@@GearBoxVideo Can't wait to watch... See the difference between it and the TKO and how they come together etc.
Great video, very helpful, Thanks for this.
Glad to see some new content!
Working hard to get edits done. Been slammed with work.
GearBoxVideo Even though viewers might not get as much content, it's good! Wouldn't wish you having no work!
Gearboxes are truly the last parts of a car that I had yet to even fathom how they worked. Your videos make it extremely simple to visualize!
Ever thought about doing something more european related, like some ZF's, or your scope is only usdm?
I't a niche video segment for sure. But thanks for your videos!
I'll do a video on anything I can get my hands on!. People just need to understand that rebuildable cores cost money. If some job worthy of a video comes my way, I take it. The idea of me purchasing transmissions and parts to create FREE CONTENT with a loss of time and wages from real work has to be understood. I get requests all the time for a wide variety of transmissions to do videos on and I have rebuilt many non US transmissions. Haven't had one person yet send a unit. So as the jobs roll in, I will do them.
another great transmission video paul, why dont you take rhonda and her camera and go to mexico city to show us tremec factory assembly ?
Nice Spicoli button! What a pretty woman, too.
Fantastic your explanation! Congratulations.
Glad it was helpful!
Great job Paul Thank You.
just wanted to say that I am really interested in learning to rebuild transmission. Im a white color guy that comes from a blue color family. Im going to guy the books and watch your videos. Thanks for the wonderful work. Im in total awe of your your experience and mastery of the work. I will go to a junk yard to get a Trans soon. I do have a questions as to why the 5th year is on the main shaft. Why do you think that was done. Im not an engineer but am really curious as to why things are done they way they are. Any way thanks for all.
What an amazing video sir! Thank you for doing this!!
Thanks for watching.
Wish I could find a guy like you locally. Every shop around me won't touch my 3550. Do you rebuild for customers ?
Excellent video. My 600 is noisy - more so in OD, since new. Would the rear countershaft bearing having the wrong shim thickness cause this? I know Tremec had issues with incorrect input shaft preload
Thanks
I have taken my TKO apart a couple times but still found useful information here, but what I really need to know is what snap ring pliers your using because getting those thing off is an absolute pain in the ass.
Wilde brand...on amazon
depressing this doesnt have more views
It's very specific. Best thing you can do is share it! Thanks for watching
GearBoxVideo since i have your attention i might be going to look at a cheap used tko600 that was improperly rebuild and then sold off. for 600cad i am really tempted
Sounds like a great deal. It's worth more parted out.
GearBoxVideo i bought it and taking it apart i foubd he didn't put the spacer in between the roller bearings. he just stacked them on top of each other. look like it's time for a full rebuild. this video will be incredibly useful. thank you for spending the time to make this video
Not sure if you will read this but this video helped me rebuilding the blown tko600. Don't think I could have done it without your help. If you are ever in the Vancouver area beer is on me
Great video! Thank you for the detail, it helped me with my Tremec. I may have missed it, but did you provide any information about the upgraded synchronizer rings?
I dont believe in them. Just using good quality bronze forged rings works just as good
Thank you for making this video.
Thanks for watching
Paul, terrific video as are all of them. Curious after watching the Richmond 5 speed vids and this TKO one, which do you feel is the inherently stronger transmission. I realize, with the overdrive of the TKO, the applications are different, but wondered from an expert who has been in and through these transmissions, which is stronger! Thanks and keep up the good work!
The Richmond boxes are. However all of these transmissions suffer from the poor design approach of using older synchro technology.
Thank Paul another great one
Thanks for watching!
do you think it would be better to buy a tremec tko or just rebuild a t5 world class with gforce gear set because i was interested in a too till I heard about there sloppy shifting
I'd take a TKO over any T5 even with G-Force gears.
thanks for the information I trust your judgement I'm getting ready to pull my motor I thinking about buying your cluster bearing retanier while I have the trans out couldn't hurt for the 60 dollar price . My car already has a steal pilot bearing sleeve but I doubt the jack leg former owner put it in right but I definitely will not buy anything Chinese lmao I appreciate your videos and look forward to learning from you whenever possible thanks Paul and God bless
Thanks for watching. Appreciate the feedback
I need to replace just the 4th gear synchro. From your video it looks like I don't need to remove the tail housings to remove it. Can you confirm that?
Thank you, get video. Very informative.
Yes you can pull the input from the front but point the transmission down while doing that so none of the needles fall into the transmission I have rings in stock. Best using OEM rings
@@GearBoxVideo Awesome. Thank you very much for the quick reply. I hope to get the time to pull the transmission this weekend. Thanks against
Got my transmission all back together thanks to your video. Awesome for including all torgue specs. Would like to donate a couple bucks to charity of your choice. Let me know a favorite charity if you got one.
Hey Paul, I finally figured out why you look familiar. Google images of actor Leo Rossi. He's older than you, but his younger pictures remind me of you.
Very nice video. I sent a tr3550 out to local shop for popping out of reverse. Installed "rebuilt transmission" and does the same thing. I took the transmission apart myself after watching you video and everything looks to be installed correctly. Only thing I see is the reverse collar and reverse gear look slightly worn where they engage. Any other ideas?
Yah I’m out, no way will I try to tackle this. Great video!
great video i rebuilt mine from this vid thank you
Cant believe I watched it till the end.
Without even falling asleep?
That trans must have been enginered by a sadist with a sense of humor...Watched the entire video. Nice work. :-)
+Tractor Wrangler Thanks for watching. Sometimes jobs can be punishing .
What syncro did you use? We always had problems with them scraping after a real hard pull or two from the track, or just cutting it loose on the road. But mostly if some one missed 3rd gear then it starts. Great Video buddy honestly, help a lot on some stuff!! Thanks..
I use my own bronze forged rings. No issues
