- Well our old shop truck stepped up to replace my newer towing rig. I lost second gear in my transmission but I was very surprised to see what caused it and I think you will to!

Every shop needs a Randy, always there to help on every project, and when everyone else is stood around talking Randy is sweeping up. Respect to him.
Excellent comment 100% 👍🏻
We've got a Randy at the quarry I work at, hus name actually is Randy too. Always there to help, does his job just fine, super dependable.
OUCH -- I have a 95 Dodge Ram Cummins with a manual tranny I bought new with 320K miles -- Replaced the clutch at 250k -- usually the automatic trans have problems.
Absolutely, love seeing Randy in the videos
Randy is a good helper for sure👍👍👍
Randy seems like a all around handy man he doesn't seem to mind whatever you give him to do he gets right in their and helps Randy give Kevin a few lessons 😮 😊😊😊thanks guys
Randy is Wise Beyond His Years!
Kevin works too.
You can’t beat randy!

@@how_to_hallagon1 Kevin doesnt do shit he needs to be more like Randy. Randy deserves the world
randy is old school.. never stand around. grab a broom..keep on truckin..my kind of man... well done..
Yep always
I can't believe there is not some kind of a metal mesh on the breather hole to prevent rodent or some other infestation getting in there. We have faith in you getting this done. 👍
.....it's no wonder so many vehicles catch fire for "no reason" & never figured out why......
I wasn't surprised to see you tackle this, but without a parts explosion to show what goes where it is a more difficult task. As you pointed out, taking it apart is the easy half of the repair. I am eager to see you get it all back together and working. I expect to see you driving it soon.
I really enjoy watching you take things apart and put them back together. Fascinating and educational
At least someone does lol
Count me in too - therapeutic for me after a full day of crazy stress. Thank you for content and helping some like me to decompress safely.
Brings back bad memories of my 3500 Dodge experiences.
I find this type of video utterly fascinating in spite of the fact that i will never attempt such a repair!
Clint, don't worry about a boring video. You haven't made one yet and I don't think you ever will.
Great content, yeah, keep doing stuff like this. Not a Ford or Dodge fan, but I dig the technology put into these things these days and seeing them being worked on instead of just plug and play is educational for me at least
I could watch these videos all night.
i think we enjoy about anything you can throw at us
I love how clean and organised you keep the shop. A clean shop always says a lot about the type of work a shop does.
So true!
Yes! I do appreciate seeing the take-apart process as well as re-assembly. Thank you.
The kings of heavy equipment
Clint,
As a retired accountant, my early exposure to a small engine class in jr high gave me the basics of a combustion engine, but your knowledge and the ease which you display in a wide range of problems amazes me. Your expertise in your craft is right up there with any Masters or PhD in the academic world and so much more refreshing in today's hyper charged political society. God bless you and your family.
WELL SAID Sir !!....& TOTALLY Agree !!
Enjoy this type of program. You are dealing with something beyond my mechanical ability-so, it’s educational!
Really great content. hard to believe there's that many little parts all assembled in there. The engineering that goes into something like a 6 speed transmission just amazes me.
Love the varied content videos that you do Clint , keep it up 👌Thanks for the share 😊
You inspired me to move my car. I've been parking next to two abandoned cars in our apartment complex for a year now and started smelling mouse pee a couple days ago. After seeing your $13,000 bill I am moving to the other side of the parking lot now.
i like the nuts and bolts breakdown of it now you just have to remember how it all goes back together
Really enjoy this type of video Clint! Have seen tons of automatic transmission teardowns but your Manual was really interesting to see. Hope it goes back together ok and your up and running again soon. Love your banter with Kevin but enjoyed seeing Randy stepping in. He is a heck of a worker. Well done. PS I had to laugh when you said you didn't know if you were going to tear it down...I knew that there was no way we weren't seeing the inside of that transmission!! LOL
This is the first time I’ve seen a G56 torn apart very interesting.
Why do you worry about people being bored most would like the long video great video thanks
As a former Disney employee, during college days, my expert knowledge tells me that you brought home a unwanted souvenir from the “MOuSE House” in Florida.
I wonder if they can you a sponsorship for a free stay.
Keep up the good work.
Grew up on a farm, dad fixed what needed to be fixed. Back in the late '60's a local firm sold dad an International truck they were trying to use as a semi but it kept blowing third gear. It finally blew one time too many and they offered it to dad at a "get it out of here" price. His mechanic opened the transmission up and found the blown gears. The sale had included replacement gears; mechanic found they were putting the gears in backwards, leading to the failure. Dad put a grain bed on it and ran it for 20 years.
Very interesting watching a master detective at work
Ha, watching the video would only prolong my inability to put that back together! Good video, good project Clint. Thanks for taking us along.
Stripping and rebuilding major elements are some of the most interesting, looking forward to the rebuild. Nice one.
Go to a restaurant supplier and get a selection of baskets. Good luck, I would be over my head with this project. I'm amazed that those big sincro parts didn't crash up the case. Carry on.
Enjoyed the video, Your thought process behind diagnosis/reason for failure, tear down, parts failure, parts order. Saved a bunch of $ with your excellent skills.
You just showed us how much having the right equipment and people really mean to a repair shop, and no, I wasn't bored. I wanted to see more. Why is it that all the GREAT RUclipsRS do us like this. Your shop is on my "Wish I could visit List." GREAT informative Video.
Uncle Scott does a lot of head bobbing…not his project not his problem 😂
At's right. Keep ya head bobbin'
I like seeing that! Thanks for another great video for my boring Saturday!
Most all of the RAM 3500s (the bucket trucks plus the one dog catcher truck) in my garage are on their 2nd transmissions. The mechanics said they were spec'd to use a cab and chassis that couldn't really handle the weight of the single stage boom/utilty bodies we use but that doesn't explain why the dog catcher truck's trans crapped out twice. There are 3 Cummins RAM buckets used by my fellow splicers and those things just keep on rolling with no major problems.
One thing about pulling the transmission that often none of the bolts are rusted solid and impossible to loosen without some heat!! Good job!
That would be because the auto factory’s love to use lock tight on everything that they don’t need to use on. Even a m3 bolt they lock tight 🙄
“we don’t need no stinkin manuals” (slightly revised line from an old movie classic “Blazing Saddles”).
Clinton, I know from watching your videos over the year or two, that you can take apart, and re-assemble any Cat or John Deere (and probably any other heavy equipment brand) transmission…, with your eyes closed…, and I think I know, that you probably haven’t tore into or apart, one of these Mercedes transmissions…, in your lifetime…
I say all of the above to say, that this video is just amazing to see. You have “no fear”, it is pretty impressive & awesome to see that in action, which is why I keep watching, and I suspect is why you have the viewership that you do.
Course the alternative of $13K spent at the dealership, might have been a motivator too… hahaha.!
If I didn’t say it already,
Great video..! Looking forward to the follow-up video.
Thank you sir.
Thanks
Might be a little late for a comment on this,, lol 😂 but it’s brilliant how much u do just too show us how things get taken apart and put back together,, well done too all of the crew,,
I think it’s fantastic know one fix’s their own stuff anymore you tearing into a manual transmission not knowing the specific of that transmission is great. The best thing I learned in life is don’t be afraid to just dive in. The best way to learn is to just take things apart and see how they work you learn a lot more that way love the videos keep going 😊
I took apart an automatic transmission once just to see how it worked. To heck with that noise.
I'm the Shop Foreman at a large Ram dealer in the Chicago area. We would have gladly replaced your trans. That unit does not require pre-authorization. There is a law that states the manufacturer must prove a modification cause a cover component to fail. They will lose in court, you should have call the customer care number for assistance. And you being a celebrity! I just but a Rotary 12k per column list like yours. It was 51k!!!!
You guys make it look like a job takes 20 mins when in reality😂😂😂😂 its 2 days work for most people.... love your content keep on trucking on .
Peace nlovefromCumbriaUK❤🇬🇧
Thanks 👍
Wash Guy Randy is handy around the shop, looks like he is right there with a helping hand. I'm eager to see the assembly half coming up. Thanks again for the eductional video, 😂👍Mr. C.
I love the way you guys are not afraid to tie into whatever the problem might be awesome job great video. Thanks for sharing.😊
It amazes me. There’s nothing your boys don’t work on your leader is the best. Watching never gets boring. Thanks for all the extra you do Clint. ❤️👍🍺🇺🇸
Thanks 👍
I love to see somebody else fumbling with parts. Your experience level is way up thar. I wish you luck...
I thought you were a Ford man now I find you messin with that Dodge!!!!
For what it's worth..This ol'dude appreciates these more detail oriented videos..
W Folga I like all your shows keep up the great work Clint I’m from fergus ontario Canada I watch every show like clock work
Clint it hard to believe your the Boss you joke with your staff and work with all of them including young guys and teaching them how to find fix and install new parts.Your employees have a lot of respect for u and I bet if there was a problem you would be there for your employees you have million dollar business going there keep up the great work thanks again
You made it
Farther than mine did. My brand new 2023 3500 Ram made it 2600 miles. Transmission toast.And now it’s down and they don’t know when they will be able to get the parts to fix it
My those Rodents certainly cause some carnage to vehicles & equipment.
Great video by the way, love to see you Guys getting in to some serious tear-down, and repair projects.
All the best from the Robin Hood County in the U.K.
No one likes to be the mayor of glitter city, happens to the best of us. 🎉
Love your channel Clinton, I am watching all your old ones now as I watch all your newer ones., HA! HA! you guys are all down to earth people!!!!.
Using your video to remember how to put it back together is a good idea. That way there are no extra parts when everything is put back together. I think a lot of us have done that.
Thanks Clinton, My friends and I tried to take a transmission apart in 1967 and finally gave up and bought a replacement and decided to never go down that road again! Kudos to you and Randy. I watch all your videos but this one did bring back some bad memories.
nd to think those early sixty's transmissions were very much simpler than any today.
Now I know why DP speaks so highly of you great video I hate Mercedes transmissions
I like seeing the detail teardowns (and reassembly) as long as they include explanations of what each part is and does. Especially the parts that are damaged or bad or otherwise the reason for the teardown.
I like watching someone else repair this kind of stuff , it helps me remember why I want nothing to do with this stuff any more , lol . The mouse had nothing to do with the trans carnage , this was caused by the aluminum trans case flexing when put under the severe load of moving heavy loads . Way back in '63 Chevy tried going to aluminum case Muncie four speeds , instead of the cast iron Borg Warner T10s behind the 409s , it didn't work out so well . The Ford top loaders and Mopar A833s were cast iron case trans for a reason .
I’m not even doing the work and I’m completely overwhelmed. Maybe if I had Randy sitting here next to me I’d feel better about it. Can’t wait for the next installment.
Well the easy part is done now you have to put it all back together. You got this. Good luck buddy.
My dad had a 89 dodge van lots of balls had a 6 cylinder but the transmission was junk but never seen a mouse in a transmission ❤
Who would have thought a mouse could ruin a clutch thanks for sharing
Dodge, you get what you pay for. Cool to see what they put in there.
Dam rats! I thought for sure that tyranny was screwed! But didn't look to bad! At least you have it on video to watch how to put it back together lol! Good luck clint ! I'll be watching you guys get it fixed I have 100% faith you gents can do it!
Love the timelapse vs. straight edit cuts. that way we can see the process. Love the channel!!
I live out in mouse country and first thing to go is the engine cover for just thus reason. They seem to like the warm engine in the winter, all you can do is try to take as many hiding places away as you can and pray.
Love watching someone dive into something they are doing for the first time.
Your good for sure
Randy's are getting so difficult to find C & C Equipment has a employee that is rare and very enjoyable to watch work without being told everything twice
Very true
A couple of years after Dodge came out with the Cummins, was talking with a fellow in Utah at a rest stop, asked him about the pickup, his answer: “Engine is great, everything Dodge has broken once some places twice”.
yes like seeing you and randy working toghter
Amazing content as always..Clint your never one to shy away anything no matter what it is this carnage is no different and to think mice did the damage...have a talk with the cats when you get home and discuss disciplinary actions for them not doing there job. 🤣 Hope it's not to costly to get it back together and look forward to your next video.. always a pleasure to watch and always learning by your example. Appreciate all you share😎🛠️🇺🇸🚜🔧🐁
I'd guess you can't blame the cats because the truck is parked outside where the cat's aren't. I'd definitely MacGyver a mouse proof screen for the vent though.
It was interesting seeing the tranny rebuild process. I was amazed how one parts destroyed, yet it didn’t affect other associated parts.
for me, I like the depth. Give me all the video, and I will give you the watch time.
It brought back good memories when I was in school tearing down transmissions and rebuilding them
It's the radiator cap, Chevrolet trucks have the same thing.
Glad you documented all this. Might double check with your insurance... comprehensive insurance should cover it if it is caused by wild animals. Appreciate all the videos and sharing your wealth of information!
Now i understand why you have ,,a certain thing,, with sany. They wrecked your car.
These lifts are awsome.
Always show the carnage
For a wArranty voided truck with 21k and not a single hot check mark on the pressure plate,flywheel or spacer plate sure says a lot about your driving habits.. 👏👏👏👏
Been in the RV business for for 30 years, Ive seen this allot, real common for mice to get in the Onan generators and build nest under blower housing, then you start the generator breaks the plastic fingers that picks up the magnetism , Easy fix to stop this, put moth balls in side your frame rails, and put some in the generator compartment , just a small amount will do the job .
Yeah I like it ! You've got 1 hell of a Jigsaw puzzle there.
Those lifts are awesome!
Love your content! You bet I want to see the re-build!!
Randy is the BEST GOFOR you could Wish for allways there, allways in the background working away , i hope you REALLY APPRECIATE HIM.
GIVE HIM A RAISE BUY HIM A BEER WELL DONE RANDY
A guy who ant afraid of fixing his own shit 👍👍
From an old man: You have a wonderful way that you deal with people, respect and deferance for Randy goes a long way in my estimation.
"Bud Light tranny!"
That made me laugh way too hard!
Appreciate the video. I have an 06 Cummins with the G56 and now I know what I'll be into when it's time to rebuild mine
Always nice to see a clean, organized shop !!
I did not know that 2018 was the last year for manual transmissions. I brought a new Dodge in 2007 with the G56 transmission and the 5.9 Cummins. Currently I have just over 16K miles on the truck, 2500 4x4 extend cab.
Yeah, thumbs up to Randy and you the fountain of knowledge. I'd be proud to learn from you and I already know everything lol
Clinton great video with interesting content, Randy is quite the worker! Thanks for sharing! Kevin
With all the bad things I’ve heard about Ram trucks, it’s amazing anyone even buys them! However, my auto parts girl loves them. Says they keep her in business!
Randy you are the bomb, seems you always get the short end of the stick
Yes, I always like to see everything that you show it doesn’t matter whether or not it’s the golf cart to the shopping, tearing part anything and putting it together you and Kevin and the crew always makes me laugh and find something to either break destroy run over and then fix it if it’s fixable love everyone there keep it up I’ll always be in tune
Good Man that Randy. I enjoy the dismantling of broiken and suspect parts. More please!
I had the intermediate plate on my south bend break all the ears off. One piece went through the housing. Now I am running a valair much smother than the south bend. Great video on the transmission now I know what mine looks like if it ever goes out.
Had a nissan mechanic pull fill hose out of washer reservoir and then quoted over $100 to replace leaking washer reservoir that he made happen. I removed the 10mm bolt, lifted the reservoir neck up and put it back in place. 2 minutes to fix a problem tech caused to increase sales in service.
Best thing for a parts washer Cliff is to convert some old tin oil cans or similar into wash trays. Cut out a side and make the edge safe and then punch a bunch of small drain holes in the bottom side. That way you can keep part sets together in a tray and make the most of the space in the washer = )
It's good to see a manual transmission be9ing overhauled. I ( for one ) enjoy watching this type of content.
Yes, would be my vote on a couple of these videos every now and then.
Such a predicament. Sorry to see you in this predicament.
