This Transmission is for a 1956 T-Bird, Had to rebuild it and was being shipped overseas. At the end i show the Torque Converter apart as well. Thanks for watching.
Just wanted to let you know the information you shared was invaluable and helped me tremendously as I installed a shift kit in my 62 small case Cruise O Matic for my Galaxie. It was a bit of a challenge with the transmission still in the car but I got it done. Waiting on on a shift lever seal and then I can put the valve body back in and seal it back up. Anyway thanks for sharing this video!
How'd it turn out? I'm starting the exact same thing for my 65 Galaxie FX; shift kit and shifter seal(s). Did you have to remove the "intermediate band" (the part with the 2 tubes connecting to the throttle body) to get it back in? I had to loosen it to get the throttle body out and it was still a struggle. I'm thinking the throttle body won't line up right unless I can get those 2 tubes out of the way. I haven't started to crack open the throttle body yet. Nasty cut on my finger ended my night early. I'm a bit nervous going into this so any hints, tips or tricks would be helpful!
This would be a Ford-O-Matic as there is no sprag. It would take off in second gear and kickdown to first if required. First gear would be engaged only in Manual Low.
First trans I ever rebuilt. There were three flavors: FX (small displacement), MX (medium), and FM (large). Most of the drums are similar, and the number of clutches made the most difference. Old Borg-Warner patent. Till mid 50’s the low band was used to hold the planetary for first till the roller clutch was introduced.
Also early Ford O Matic cases had the dipstick under the floor on the passenger side. If you use a later model pan you can switch to the under-hood type dipstick which is easier to use. Unless you are going to a car show, no one will even notice. The torque converter has drain plugs for easy fluid changes. If I remember anything else, I will post it here. I do have some memory pills, but I keep forgetting to take them. 😊
I hope your exporter customer needs a Hydramatic from a '59 Caddy some day. I'd love to see the inside of that transmission that I used to abuse as a teenager. Great channel Gary.
You do realize that there is information on EVERYTHING on RUclips right? Do a search and you will find more than one video on the Hyramatic. Weber Auto has a 5 part series.
Hello Gary, can u tell me how to check my front oil pump is used? What clearance is accepted? My transmission works fine but i change reverse belt and i open pump, and looks worse than yours.
Lo felicito maestro es un vídeo muy interesante le comento que yo empese como repartidor de refacciones de transmisión automatica en 1980 tenia 20 años y me llamaba mucho la atención me recuerda los códigos que se manejaban las refacciones erande la marca Lempco las juntas el código era K6900-v porque lo que veo es medium case y es de 2velocidades no trae sprag la banda delantera se ve que teae ajuste al centro su código era 6313-R la de reversa 6362-A los discos de pasta 5del 6204-M y 4discos pasta 6221-G y llevaba 9discos de acero con el codigo 6205 y me puedo seguir numerando piensas en ese tiempo lo unico que nos apoyabamos era con el catálogo y se tenia que memorisar todo ese tipo de transmisiones eran una maravilla hasta la fecha tengo unas bombas de crusho-matic y un juego de juntas de merco matic saludos felicidades
Love your videos and your general persona! You always take time to focus on the details and keep your customers in mind. I’m curious about a cast-iron transmission not rusting on the outside… Is there some sort of coating? I hope you don’t have to “season” it after you’re done lol ! Anyway, keep up the awesome work. I’m not a transmission mechanic or apprentice, but I love watching the videos. Have a great week, Gary!
@@GaryFerraro I have a question, I have 6L80E 6speed and a 2011 Tahoe. I've been experiencing slight shutter on acceleration and slightly rough downshifting and third and second and revving when put into reverse occasionally. Sometimes takes a while to shift some gears. I'm leaning towards torque converter? Thank you for your response in advance! I'd really appreciate it!
Gary, I don't think I missed it but what does this trans do for modulation? Important! - Let's see the 10R80 you mentioned. I requested this a couple of weeks ago.😁😁
@@skutahuniai4830 Filmed this a while ago, just watched it and did not see it, meanwhile i have one at the shop now that i just changed the modulator, Guess this uses just the Govenor. Going to find out though
Skutahuniai.... It provides throttle pressure by a linkage rod that connects to the carburetor. This also controls kick-down ability. Plus, this is an early model 56 trans, the late models were water cooled thru the radiator.
@@blitz8619 Yes it is, if this is a 6T70, in input speed sensor is located on the rear cover, that will have to be unplugged and the wire pulled through to get the cover off. Watch to see how everything goes back, it all may come out at once

Pretty nice .
Great job.
Same as the oldest power glides with a pump on the back for reverse .
That 66 year old transmission looks like it is in very good condition!
was in very good shape, the guy we bought it from was happy to get rid of it, said it's been sitting there for 5 years

You are the man Gary.
Yep brings back memories

Maybe, this asks for all exotic stuff to be shipped

so great ❤️❤️
What type of ATF fluid should i use in Soviet copy of fordomatic 3 speed small case? It has metal-ceramic and steel clutch discs

The manager primed and painted it
@@GaryFerraro I saw that at the end and thought it looked fabulous… Thanks Gary!

@@bears893 Are there any codes present?
@@GaryFerraro no codes at all, still drives strong but definitely feels off.
Did you switch the bronze clutches to paper?
No Left originals
How many times should i change the atf fluid? Should the atf fluid be changed by machine or by gravity with flush?
I like to Drop the pan to change the filter
How long do you work with automatic transmission? Sometimes i wonder how can you work 7 days all the weeks without resting at least on the Sundays?
Resting today, I'm Home
@@GaryFerraro That's it.Resting at least on the Sundays won't break you.
@@GaryFerraro I stay home on the Sunday.
That "front " side of the torqueconverter is actually the rear side THINK ABOUT IT , FROM YOUR FRONT SEAT LOOKING BACK , OK .
How much does a new torque converter of this transmission?
Not sure you can even get one for this unit
Gary, I don't think I missed it but what does this trans do for modulation? Important! - Let's see the 10R80 you mentioned. I requested this a couple of weeks ago.😁😁
There is a modulator, haven't had any 10R80's yet except the one i serviced
@@GaryFerraro So do I watch it again or you failed to mention it?
@@skutahuniai4830 Filmed this a while ago, just watched it and did not see it, meanwhile i have one at the shop now that i just changed the modulator, Guess this uses just the Govenor. Going to find out though
@@GaryFerraro I thought I didnt see it. Wonder how it deals with part throttle shifts and such? Good to see some of the older "simple" stuff.
Skutahuniai.... It provides throttle pressure by a linkage rod that connects to the carburetor. This also controls kick-down ability. Plus, this is an early model 56 trans, the late models were water cooled thru the radiator.
I have. 2009 traverse. It only has 1-3 gear. Slips in 4 5 6.
Reverse works fine.
What could it be. It doesn't have any codes.
4-5-6 clutch is probably no good. What is condition of the fluid? What happens on the 3-4 shift
@@GaryFerraro fluid was black. When it hits 4th. Rpm rev high. Car slows down till it down shifts to 3rd.
Is the 456 clutch removable in vehicle through rear cover. If subframe was dropped a little.
@@blitz8619 Yes it is, if this is a 6T70, in input speed sensor is located on the rear cover, that will have to be unplugged and the wire pulled through to get the cover off. Watch to see how everything goes back, it all may come out at once
Gary,how many people work in your shop?
including myself 5 full timers and 2 part timers
