A 40 year service tech knows what I'm talking about. There's no way you can wear gloves of any kind and do this job. You have to feel your way thru the assembly. If c.i. neuropathy hasn't damaged the hands. (Starts at the fingertips) chemicals and metal powder ingestion (heavy metals) are hard on the nerves. Literally.

I'm an ex tugboat captain, crane operator, machinist, welder, fitter, carpenter business owner...I've dome a lot of things....but until these videos I didn't have the slightest idea what was inside an automatic transmission. I still don't understand what I'm seeing but it's terrific seeing father & son who know and love what they are doing try to explain it to us. Thank you! Well done.

      To be fair I think a lot of cleaning and prepping and setup of the parts were the hours done prior to the video. As he said all those tolerances had to be just so. Then a final clean of area and parts to begin assembly. Prep work is usually 90% of a job.

Tedious panels those are, and that gasket we had to always put back on them never wanted to line up with the holes on reinstall, not matter how much pet we put on em! xD

It is very refreshing to see someone very passionate about their job, keep up the great work!

    in 1985 I was building for an aamco in Charleston SC back in them days we would average 5 - 350's or 250s a day. the owner had 3 shops. he had all the units cleaned and on a cart. and all kits and hard parts. he had a full time man that just tore down and cleaned units to build for stock. me and another older builder double teamed 350s one day. he built the drums and pumps and I put them in the case. we built 21 in 10 hours! the next day we did 18 and we were tired at the end.

    I love watching this, I remember attempting to rebuild the transmission on my old 70 maverick back in 1984, All I had was a crappy book and word of mouth people told me. It worked fine for 25 miles started slipping bad. I had to drive home the last 5 miles in reverse. I can still smell that smell of burned transmission fluid and toasted clutch material. Went to the junkyard and bought a used one for $50 and it lasted the 2 more years I had the car before that old 170 6 cyl engine finally blew.

    Hello Richard/Trent. My grandson & I (when we're not in the garage) are sitting side by side in our spare time, working our way thru your excellent videos. Just like Trent, my brother & I spent our summer vacations from school, working in our dad's transmission shop. Dad's long gone but the memories/lessons are invaluable. His transmission shop was where we learned the lesson of life. Do it right the first time, don't shortcut anything, or it'll come back to bite you in the backside. My dad produced quality work & had an excellent reputation. Lots of word of mouth, repeat customers. Seeing you guys working side by side, sure brings back good memories. Thanks a bunch for taking the time to make these videos. You guys are an awesome team, putting out quality work. Here's a tip from a fellow transmission man. Get you an old servo cover from a C-6, it works great as a driver for installing the governor cover on the TH350, 700, 4L60, etc.
