Hey Scotty! Just making sure you received my submission for Show Off Sunday! I think it came out REALLY well!
I found my dream car 1979 Trans Am 455 sweet😳🧰😉
Interestingly enough, it’s not a “Car”, but a Jeep vehicle.
I still have one of my old cars I just jump in it and rolled down a hill and then I have a friend of mine push me back up at when I need to get back home no gas no oil no transmission fluid don't even need the key I just roll it down to the store load it up with food and whatever I need if the little shops around it and my farmer friend post me back home with his John Deere tractor
Scotty, I'd love to see you take a look at Koenigsegg Lightspeed transmission.
I like how Mazda chooses to not use CVT transmissions.
i believe is because mazda wants to be that premium sporty brand in the mainstream market and they prob know that a CVT would take away the fun out of the driving
@@Datsun7705
Do you think CVT's can be fun?
@@Datsun7705 they’re really not into the sporting brand anymore besides their mx-5 since they don’t even make Rx-8 anymore s now they’re coming out with little Skysctive 4 Bangers which are really reliable and incredibly impressive now they mostly have there Suvs With there Smart Awd System
@@lordflufffluff I'm not sure what a sport tuned one is like, but every CVT I've driven is horrific. I'm a car guy/valet for a living. I've driven multiple CVT WRXs and it's unfathomable how detached the car is. The turbo does not want to spool.
well, all I can say is I don’t think my valet guy need to push my car to the point the turbo kicks in
The video didn't answer that question it asked: "Who makes the best transmission, and why?" All it tells you is how various types of transmission work.
True, and it was the same on another video Scotty Kimer posted called ""Who makes the best ENGINE, and why?" But I thoroughly enjoyed watching both, and I truly believe it was a much better use of my time than watching a mostly subjective view on "the best" engine or transmission.
Put in other words: There are these kinds of transmissions out there. What's the best one? You be the informed judge.
Scotty Kilmer moment
Are you still not aware he baits videos.
@@greggc.touftree5936 -Scotty is a master.. at baiting. Still in all, one of the best ;}
The reason I was watching video waiting for the best transmission or who makes it or witch cars use it
NISSAN CVT FOR THE..................LOSS!!! 😂
My dad hated his. Brought it back to the dealer... And bought a GM. Not sure if thats much of an upgrade.
Had a 08 Nissan Altima 2.5 with CVT transmission for 11yrs.. 120,00 miles with no problems
Miss that car
@@rogervaillant6044 You just got lucky. If you think a Nissan CVT transmission is reliable then so is a 7 series BMW
@@Benny-zo3qh I guess I got lucky... sold it in may 2019 and the person that bought it is still driving it with no issues
@@rogervaillant6044 Hey it can happen. The transmissions are deemed crap due to the amout of issues people have with them. Peopls just need to be aware and purchase at own risk
Not many mechanic you tubers devote an entire video to transmissions. Thanks Scotty. Very informative.
I like manual transmissions. Always have. I have owned more manual trans than automatics.. i feel much more a part of the car shifting myself. Plus here in wisconsin if you go over a icy bridge i like that i can just push in the clutch and have no reason to spin or lose control.
That’s ok if you have to working feet.
Same. Way cheaper on the maintenance unless you don't know how to clutch properly. Mine is still strong at 200k original.
Can someone explain why does pushing in the clutch make it so that you don’t lose control when going over ice?
@@oliverthorcollington8948 Because pushing In the clutch completely disengages the power to the wheels
@@oliverthorcollington8948 You choose the perfect baance os speed and torque for each need and cam maintain it even or, besides,change it if you need,for the same stability purpose.Well, I can only tell about other slippery conditions but ice !
Almost 1 Year driving my Honda Civic 2L Manual. It's fun to drive.
Funner with a turbo
The Nissan Jatco Front Drive CVT Transmission! I'll see myself out.
😂
Oh you masochist...😂
Wow! You really poked the hornet's nest, didn'cha?? 0_o
I’ll take a FIRM shifting automatic over a cvt any day!
We can see Scotty's ying and yang balance. His everyday videos are on the other side of the spectrum vs these informational videos.
Much more composure vs crazy old man.
Scotty, you would love this. When I was still a very green Mech. Engineer I worked with an old pump and motors engineer and we installed and adjusted an Allis Chalmers 2 million gallon a day pump and motor. It used a flow meter and Pneumatic controls to control the pumps 18 in. radius disc in and out and had two huge serpentine belts that controlled the flow complicated with the fact the motor was also two speed. I had to learn to maintain two of these and keep the valves adjusted correctly. The thing was about five feet high and the plants overhear crane helped us lift the motor off for service. The belts were a new fangled technology in 1975, four inches wide and costing 800 dollars back then. I was in LOVE.
My parents had a 1958 Chevrolet that had something like a CVT, but it was hydraulic. It had 3 turbines and the transmission could valve the fluid to 2 of the turbines at the same time, in any proportion that was needed. It did not have definite shifts that could be felt. The car just went faster, accelerating but the engine speed remained about the same. It was called the Turboglide. My Dad called it other things as they had reliability problems. Eventually he had a Powerglide installed.
Love these new animations! It makes the information so easy to retain!
Long time lurker from Melbourne Australia. Just wanted to say a big thank you for all the great content you put out. Keep up the great work matey.
‘ 94 Toyota Celica made the best transmission.
😂😂
BINGO 47! You correct Sir! I have over 340,000 miles on mine to prove it.
I took my driving license in a 2010 manual audi a5 and when I bought my first car a manual celica t20 that gearbox felt way better than the Audi's or any other car I have driven. So I can approve this comment.
The four-speed Toyota was one of the most reliable every made. But technologically obsolete.
Gm 4l60 and the e variant. If there was ever a bulletproof automatic, that the one. Even if a gear is going out, it drives smooth.
I like your educational videos. Thanks for the excellent explanations and animated diagrams. While I know you don't recommend CVTs from other videos, I think you fairly present the pros and cons of owning one.
Love this content, Scotty. Keep it up!
Thanks, Scotty, for this clear insight into the workings of the various transmissions.
Considering everything, cost, performance, smoothness, range of application etc the best transmission in today's world in ZF 8HP models. Pretty reliable, better fuel efficiency than manuals, very smooth changing gears, almost as fast as dual clutch transmissions. ZF got the best of both worlds. That's why they are installed in BMW, GM, Toyota, Alfa Romeo, Audi, Aston Martin, Dodge/Chrysler, Lambos, Land Rover, Porsche, VW, Rolls and more....
Thank you, Scotty.
I love my 4 speed automatic transmission in my 2002 Camry!
Never did find out what the best transmission was I felt like I was back in school watching some film on how tractors plow fields and how the mechanisms work when I bailed hey we did it by hand
For a sports car the tremic tr6060 manual six speed. Just my opinion.
Aisin Seiki
Aisin Seiki is a Japanese corporation founded in 1949 which goes far beyond automotive; around one third of the company is owned by Toyota, but the customer base also includes companies such as Volvo, Ford, and Hyundai. Aisin Seiki is the maker of the AS68RC and AS69RC Ram automatic transmissions.
His videos are most of the time intentionally mislabeled so people will watch anyway. Nutty nut nut????
@@kingarthurusatenniscoach1415 and the Nissan Titan 5 speed automatic
Yes the Tremec 6060 is also used in our Australian FG Ford Falcon six cylinder “Barra” Turbo powered performance 4 door sedans too!
That is a pretty good way to describe how transmissions work. Thanks for the video.
I'm thrilled with my Lexus' 6-speed Aisin A760H transmission. Reliable, smooth, quick to shift and perfect ratios. Low RPMs at a steady speed but still enough oomph left after 100 mph.
Also a great manufacturer of automatics. In the 80s and 90 Opel uses aisin-warner-transmissions.
The ZF 8 Speed. And the way Dodge has that Calibrated with the Durango riding on that Mercedes Chassis is pretty sweet, and I only have the V6. Its kind of fast but really quick and great on Gas for the power that you get.
The ZF8 is a great transmission that does almost everything you could ask of it. But it's missing that last 10-15% that makes something like a PDK world class.
@@AQCE245ZF makes PDK
I loved this episode! Explains it so plain & simple, but detailed! Thanks Scotty! :)
you didn't say who makes the best transmission and why
Mercedes or Toyota here you go
Lexus/Toyota for automatics and still excellent for manuals. Manual trans, are reliable on many models but Honda makes them very well, they're so smooth from clutch pedal and shifting.
@@serge.l.1897 that because Honda was originally a motorcycle company and their manual transmissions were great and reliable so they have always been good with making reliable manuals
@@serge.l.1897 why new supra have bmw engine?
@@serge.l.1897 Subaru makes the best manuals Honda make good ones but not anymore
You're the upload king Scotty 👑
My wife's Nissan Murano SL had it's CVT crater at 61,000 miles. Nissan would not even look at it because they said we were over the warranty mileage. We had to take it to Katy Transmission. The owner said he had a total of six Nissan CVT vehicles that were waiting to be repaired. I was told that Nissan had a high rate of CVT failures.
My mother had a Nissan rogue and her cvt crapped out right after the warranty was up. They are def pieces of junk.
Thank you FOR YOUR SUPPORT Scotty.
This is the best explanation on RUclips of how a CVT works.
Loving these informative videos Scotty always teaching us useful stuff 💯
I hooked a dump truck transmission to a 4 cylinder Nissan so I never have to replace the transmission again.
Pardon for my lack of knowledge, but is it possible to universally swap a transmission? I mean my car has a CVT that has already broke down once few years ago, but i wonder if its possible for me to swap it to a normal TC 4 or 5 speed auto.. Is that even possible by any means?
@@supraxv12 not worth the cost. It would be cheaper to sell it and buy a car with the transmission you want
@@supraxv12 Not without some serious mods. If a computer is involved, yet more mods. It probably is illegal under emission laws and even if you could get it to run, you might need more illegal mods to keep the check engine light off.
@@supraxv12 done that before.. It used to be different. Just swap in the parts and you're good. Now it's wire harness and computer aslo required. My old truck went from a stick to automatic and back to stick when that crappy aod failed.
😂😂😂😂
Great job explaining the basic idea of transmission types. In the automotive trade school I attended you just covered a weeks worth of classes and in a much easier to understand way.
Scotty"s Documentaries are so Great and Informative......
Aisin and ZF are the best!
never had an issue with both these transmissions. they are good
ZF 9 speed transaxle for FWD Mopars shifts like crap though.
ZF 8 speed in my Jeep. It's super smooth. Better than the clunky 6 speed in my Silverado.
That's am Allison right there in the thumbnail. Proud to work for them.
Hey Scotty Kilmer I just wanted to say thanks for all the informative videos I really learned a lot from your Channel I hope you keep on making videos and keep them for me in the world and telling the truth thank you from the bottom of my heart
Great video Scott, I wish I could have watched a video like that when I was a kid. It would have been much easier to understand the transmissions out there.
The AW4 transmission in my Jeep is a beast.I have almost 400,000 Mile's on my 99 Xj and I only needed a torque converter at 325k... Transmission is still like new
This makes SO much sense, I get it now. Thanx Scotty 💙💯. Your like the pro mechanic uncle I always wanted
I bought a 2020 cx 30 Mazda and I can say this transmission lauches great and shifts smooth.
That's because they chose to refine an existing technology instead of jumping on cvt bus with 2 1/2 wheels.
I'll have any transmission as long as it's a manual, (standard)...
I only have manual transmissions, last longer
and are more reliable.
@@fleurdewin7958 you don't understand what l am talking about .

Hey Scotty, greetings from Portugal! Great video! In a lot of other videos you referred a new tipe of cvt without torque converter and a kind of first gear to set the car in motion (you mentioned some new Toyotas having it). Could you explore a little more this set up like you did the rest of variants in transmissions in the video. Keep up the good work.
You never said “who” makes the best transmission?????????
He did at 9:40.

This was a fun one! I drover a manual for 20 years. I miss it.
Great informational video. Would like to see more of these on the various aspects of how the car works. Perhaps brakes next? Suspension systems?
The ZF 8 speed auto is a solid box and has been used in every BMW for the last decade. It handles anything from the 258 lbs-ft of the 2.0l I4 to the 553 lbs-ft of the 4.4l V8 M engine.
The ZF 8 Speed is great. Also the old 5 Speed Mercedes seemed to be more reliable than others. My Taxi (W212) got 425 000 km on it. No probs with the Automatic.
@@automotiveje5182 The 722.6 was such a good trans. It can handle a decent amount of power too!
ZF makes the best transmission for cars, light trucks, and SUV’s. Allison for heavy duty trucks.
I would have to agree,I have a zf 5 speed in my xr6 falcon,but the zf 6 speed is even better so I'm told.
Great video! I love this style of video Scotty! So interesting and informative.

Granted, I can beat the snot out of my s2000 manual tranny, but even a standard 5 speed automatic Honda tranny can't be abused. My Cr-V CVT with 76k is purring along. Change your transmission fluid regularly
But who makes the best transmission
Allison Transmission!

Allison by far! I Just serviced a fed ex step van with an Allison 1000 I believe with over 600k miles on it.

One of my best Scotty videos👍
Crazy listening to a positive comment and Peugeot within the same sentence.
lol but they have improved nowadays
Americans don't get the Global sales option to buy a good Peugeot or Citroen. RUclips has lots of videos of pro rally champions based on those cars we cannot buy here.

RUclips also has impressive videos of Renault Formula 1 engines in the Dyno test cell.
If Peugeot was available in the US I would be driving one. I already drive the most hated vehicle by Scotty, a Fiat 500, 2012, with a 5 speed standard, no troubles what so ever. 😋
@@alainjperez Yep but that Fiat 500 wont last 500.000 km on it or 3 years of daily driving without a major engine or transmission overhaul.
@@itinensanzen True, but they were never designed to be a big mileage vehicle.
They are designed as an around town car, like the Nissan Micra they are based on.
Glad my 2005 Nissan Maxima didn’t make the cut for the CVT switch (Still running like new). Sorry for anyone with a 2007 or newer Nissan. 🤣
And when 4th gear lock up it actually a 5-speed.
I have a 07 altima 2.5s bought it used 3 years ago haven't had transmission issues...yet.

Master of the Mechanical things, Professor Scotty Kilmer.
FANTASTIC vid Scotty,engineering is AWESOME.
Headline: "Who makes the best transmissions and why?"
Video: "Here is how different types of transmissions work."
On a more serious note I have a GM 6speed in my silverado. I really miss my 4speed overdrive in my old 01 silverado
The 4 speed 4l60e was not a bad transmission unless you raced it all the time. I have an automatic Corvette with that transmission lol. I think the last owner had the transmission rebuilt by someone who knew how to modify them a bit because it shifts really quick and smooth. Also has fresh, red ATF when I checked the fill plug. It already had over 130k miles.
At least u don’t have the f150 10 speed like me. Lol.
Yeah, and when you need to rebuild the 6 speed, it is easily twice the price. No thanks. The 4 speed is more than enough ratios with lockup as a virtual 5th gear. My father in law calls lockup a "paper gear" I guess because on paper it serves as another ratio. Or maybe because it's as flimsy as a gear made from paper...
It's hard for me to explain but have any of you ever drove an old 4 cylinder escort, or Honda civic automatic where the car is always struggling to maintain speed by downshifting all the time? That's what my 2013 silverado feels like with this 6speed. Same 5.3 actually more powerful the my 01 5.3. The 01 4speed overdrive was just a much nicer ride all around.
I hear ya, still got my 2000. Simple and solid V8 running on all cylinders, 4 speed tranny and old school rear end. Going on 21 years now.
And I just got a '14 Scion XB with a big overbuilt fuel injected inline 4 with 4 speed Aisin auto. No turbo, GDI or multi speed or CVT. I dread the day I may have to buy some new cookie cutter plumbers nightmare. I'll look for a barn find 1st.
I have a four Speed shiftable automatic in my 2005 tuscon. POS in drive. Great fun in the manual mode.
My wife's 2020 cr-v is impressive so far. When u get on it it shift great. Good gas mileage & power

Best transmission hands down is my 94' Celica with over 340,000 miles on it.
My 1984 Celica Supra with W58 transmission over 500,000 miles shifted like new.
it only has 240k and is rarely driven now.
Had a 1994 Toyota Camry come to my job today.... 279,689 miles on it... looked rough not taken care of dash cracked etc... drove great manual transmission shifted smoothly... I was amazed. Then I drove a Chevy Cruze with 17,000 miles. The old Toyota drove better.
@@SimplyCarReviews Great!
@@DanielE-dk1ws best $800 bucks I ever spent on a car... never left me stranded.
I’m pretty sure the automatic transmission was made by Aliens or its magic or simply a miracle.
Thank you again for your insightful information Scotty.
This is the scotty video ive been waiting for.
Scotty you forgot to talk about dual clutch transmission
In a nutshell, it's just a geared auto where the gear before and after the gear you're already in is spinning, allowing faster shifts
semi-automatic = dual clutch, correct?
@@danielpassigmailcom not really. The newest mr2 was a semi auto and you had to shift it I believe. It was basically a sequential manual without a clutch
@Mark Codiroli ok
The ZF 8HP is a solid transmission. I have found them to be bulletproof and extremely efficient, the can shift is about 100ms and I love mine.
That is a stout box for sure, the 6R80, and GM 6L80/90 variants are strong as hell too. Not withstanding GMs 8L90 and the new 10spd 10R80/10L80 from them both. I believe Ford holds the strongest trans though with the 6R140 and 10R140 both being seriously stout units.
They should’ve stayed with 8 because the ZF9 is absolute trash
Always great info, Scotty.
I like the video and learned some great information. I was looking for who makes a better transmission, make, model, and year. Thanks for sharing the how and why, I needed the who, and when.

Excellent transmission information 👍 thanks Scotty 🌞
I recently bought a 2017 Honda Fit. There were a few hundred available with CVT, and only 3 manuals in CA. I bought one of the 3 manual shifts.
There is a honda dealership near me that offers a life time warranty for the drive train for ONLY new vehicles. So CVT or whatever, you're covered!
My Lexus was offered lifetime used lol
You may want to ask them what they're definition of lifetime is. Is labor covered, or just the transmission? Do they give you a new, rebuilt or used transmission? Are you required to have your vehicle serviced at the dealership to qualify? Is there a per year mileage cap? What types of failures are covered? Is there a time to completion guarantee? Do you pay extra for the warranty? Does everyone qualify for the warranty, or is it based on something like your credit score? Does the dealership reserve the right to cancel this program if they so choose?
I'm a dealership technician. You are not going to get free transmissions for the rest of your life. You will pay for it. Its just a matter of how.

The 6 speed allison is the best automatic transmission ever made
Best for heavy duty , yes.
Damn right!
No the 4 speed auto from the Toyota Corolla is the best ever. Made by Asin.
My drilling rig says otherwise. I have 2 Allison transmissions on it one for mud pump one for draw works and both cost me thousands in breakdowns. Not impressed with it
Awesomely condensed and educative video 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I love these technical videos .
Good evening Scotty well another week is come to an end, let's see what you have for me tonight😉👐👐🍻🧰👍
My 50 years experience shows that the manual transmission is the most reliable and the best modern manual transmission is the five speed built by Tremic. The automatic transmission is usually reliable during the life of the vehicle and my pick for the best made automatic transmission is the six speed Allison transmission. Like Scotty said, the CVT transmission is the weakest transmission that is made so by the steel drive belt that is being stretched and squeezed on the spindle. The overall reliability is yet to be determined and will be after enough time has gone by.
I prefer the Tremec T-56 Magnum 6sp. There's no stronger manual gearbox made
I’m a 40 year auto tech and I couldn’t agree more. Problem is the arthritis in my left foot has forced me to get away from a manual. I’m old 😂.
Sooo, I choose an automatic which my favorite is the ZF 8HP trans. Absolutely bullet proof and has 8 wonderful ratios and the WHOLE WORLD is using it.
This is an incredible video! Really well narrated
Hey Scotty! Honda CVT's are smooth and dont't overrev which I like. The Mazda CX5 tends to jerk at low speeds. But the Mazda will probably last longer.
Lmaooooo you’re on crack if you think a Mazda rust bucket will even come close to outlasting any Honda
@@thatguy1919 Hopefully not, I drive a CRV and CX5 all the time. The Turbo/CVT does concern me long term, but I love the throttle response and steering feel on the Honda.
ZF Transmissions are pretty stout.
Agreed!
Allison is better!
Did Zf take over TRW?
