Phoenix Franks if you have extra parts it just means you’ve made it more efficient and that grinding, tearing and loud boom you heard before the engine locked up is not the fault of the extra parts at all
These are some of the smartest people in this world. To break down and build the components most people only know how to install. I marvel at these videos and wish I could just watch them in regular time.
This gives me an appreciation for what an art mass production is. Ford produced(es) thousands of these things and they more or less work reliably for years. I also appreciated Hagarty's discipline in laying out all the pieces in order of disassembly. This ensured he could get it back in one piece with no parts left over. Mysterious things, automatic transmissions...
This transmission is a pretty complicated early model trans. A newer trans that's comparable such as an AOD(e) from crown vics are much, much simpler. With a team of 3 people, we had one torn down in a couple hours and completely rebuilt (and upgraded) in a couple days. Most of that time was actually waiting on parts. Id say the total labor time was 8 hours.
When i had my apprenticeship to become a diesel mechanic my teacher at the vocational school once told us about the time he tried to repair an automatic transmission. The control unit was without any electronic components like this one in the video. He pulled it out and there was a lot of jingling going on. All the steel balls and spring fell out. At that point he went to a specialist since it was too complicated for him.
They're actually kind of fun to work on, I've rebuilt a few and was very happy when they worked as expected. Honestly with a good manual it's not hard and older transmissions don't require very many special tools. There's only a few adjustments, mainly in setting clutch pack clearances, end play and band adjustment. If you can rebuild an engine you can do a transmission.
@@tobylewis1920 I believe those older bullet birds used the MX Cruise-O-Matic transmission. Damn things were heavy! The case was cast iron! Not like the C6 which came later and was an all aluminum case. Doing that alone shed 200lbs from the weight of the trans.
I have been a professional transmission rebuilder for 40 years. the cruisematic /FMX transmission he built is one of my favorites. it is a good unit. I hardly see them anymore, I have rebuilt 100s of them but I did work on one last year. they not only put them in t birds but just about all ford cars and even PU trucks, what he did looks amazing to some people, but to a builder its no big deal. I can put that thing together with my eyes shut. it really is one of the easy ones to rebuild,,,,,,,,,,,,,
I love how in some of the shots you can see the manual just sitting in front of the guy. No matter how good you think you are, reference is still needed.
Absolutely astonishing the engineering that goes into an automatic transmission. The hundreds of different pieces that go into making one is just unreal! People who created them and the ones who have the skills to rebuild them are amazing and intelligent for sure.
I just love watching these time lapse videos. I am a life long mechanic and gearhead. Watching these is just relaxing, then think about 1 split second (him laying across the engine bay to reach the top bell housing bolts) and think how many times I've been there, how uncomfortable it is and know he was actually there for at least half an hour...
Just loved this. Remembered watching an old-time watchmaker fix and repair watches--the old mechanical kind, now mostly obsolete. At least auto transmission repair is still current.
Had a guy tell me this as a kid when working on my old mustang. He had a Polaroid for putting stuff back together. With digital cameras it's so much easier now (except keeping greasy hands off the camera!). Great post! Still need to switch my insurance to you guys! :-)
Big Mac Did you notice they were pushing it into the garage. The frictions in the clutch packs were all done for. They say that in the commentary video.
holy sweet baby Jesus....thats a whole heap of parts. My head hurts after watching how it all goes together. as always...a stellar video, and i tip my hat to anyone that tackles these old school autos.
Dave, your comment reminds me of a time when I was in a manual transmission class. Everyone broke up into teams and we had to tear down a manual transmission. I happened to get a transmission that I knew very well and had it apart and back together a very short time. I did notice a ball bearing missing and assumed that it was just lost from a previous tear down. After lunch we all set down in the classroom and the instructor held up this ball bearing and said "who left this out". Needless to say I had to tear it down again and put it in.
Flawless Video editing. Love how you see the entire process in just a few minutes with crystal clear detail. These videos are great for eliminating procrastination when it comes to ones own projects.
All I can say is wow! I am a huge fan of hiram gutierrez and weberstateauto, but to see a Ford Cruise-o-matic being dissected like this - it was a dream come true. Know it or not, but being Russian and a car enthusiast, in the 1950s this very transmission was chosen to be almost identically copied and went onto our Chaika limousines, right up until the mid 1990s! My guess is that there was a non-timelapse video with annotations, doing a full rebuild.... One of those cases where you are grateful for youtube to have the slow play option to see, because I watched it again at 0.25. I did notice that you missed out the sprag clutch and the planetary carrier altogether. Was that deliberate? Anyhow - a huge thank you and looking forward to the next one!
...........I have a new level of respect for the man that did my TH350. I took some pride in being able to do some engine work, but transmissions are just Voodoo! I feel bad for not realizing just how insane they really are on the inside!!
Indeedy! Even Charles Kettering, GM's internal genius in the early 20th century who invented the electric starter, the breaker-point distributor ignition system, and modern AIR CONDITIONING, EVEN HE couldn't solve the conundrum of how to build a transmission that shifted automatically AND didn't require manually operating a clutch at any time! The torque converter did exist, and we did have the planetary gearset (the Model T used them, but with manual clutches), but nobody had yet figured out how to actually combine those together successfully yet in the 1930's to form what we now consider the 'automatic transmission'. A man named Earl Thompson was who finally figured it out in combining the two in the late 1930's in time for GM to introduce the 4-speed Hydra-Matic for the 1939-1940 model year, but with a 'Fluid-coupling' instead of a torque converter. The torque-converter as we know it is a fluid-coupling with the all-important stator added. Mr. Thompson btw, was also the guy who came up with synchronizers for manual gearboxes to take them from being the hard to operate 'crashboxes' still used in semi-trucks to what we've all known and loved for so long in conventional manual gearboxes of the muscle car era to today.
I’m a musician and will probably end up doing music as a full time career, but I love vehicles so much and I think that if I specialize in one part of a vehicle for a hobby it would have to be transmissions. I know they’re tedious and all, but the satisfaction of doing something like that yourself would be amazing! Plus the fact that rebuilding yourself will save you the 3k that you have to pay to get them rebuilt.
I practically fixed everything under the sun....be it small or big......with one exception.........I never ever opened an automatic transmission. ......except maybe to change the filter......great video...
The description of the linking article said "millions" of parts - thousands perhaps, hundreds for sure. Great video - being organized and knowing what you're doing seems to be very key here.
Y'all are braver than me. I had an '88 Thunderbird and needed a transmission rebuild and decided to tackle it myself (This was before RUclips and Google). I pulled the pan and the tray and about a million springs and ball bearings went SPROING! all over my garage. I won't tell you what I said at that moment, but the first word was 'holy'... I took what I could find to a shop and let them fix my screw-up. 9 years later when I moved I found the last 4 ball bearings...
I'm actually not a car lovers or a mechanic but idk how i found this amazing channel. and how you guys did the work always amaze me by how clean you guys did it. it makes me want to tear down my motorbike engine and then assemble it again (but ofc i can't i don't have experience 😂 ) yeah keep up the good work, really love all your vids.

Tbh not just the cleaners and whatnot but the oil and grease itself is pretty harsh stuff especially in old motorcycles with age old oil, but just absorbing that stuff on a regular basis is bad for your hands and skin.
I love these videos! I don’t know much about cars, every time I try to work on mine I just end up making up new cuss words. So it’s really cool watching someone that really knows what they are doing.
I rebuilt my first transmission on a 2000 Dodge Neon. I had no idea what I was doing. As far as I was concerned, it was just a puzzle that went together a certain way. So I kept track of what went where and in what order. Following a service manual for procedures, torque specs, etc., I was able to successfully rebuild it (I had to open it up a second time because I messed up on one part), but it really wasn't as difficult as you'd think. I enjoyed it.

never, ever, never ever, never EVER use cloth towels and rags when working on hydraulics and valve bodies like this. Ever. It makes me itch watching this video.
cloth rags tend to leave behind lint, strings and debris. All it takes is one tiny piece of string in the right place, no different than a grain of sand, to jam up a valve body. Work on automatic transmissions should be as clean as clean can get.
I built the trans. in my truck that way and nearing 8 years later still no problems. Just don't leave strings, hairs or pieces of dirt and you'll be okay.
Shawn K I'm sure there is. i guess i just don't understand what the point of this video is then. in the description it says they were curious about how a transmission works and then made a video that didn't clear any of that up. not trying to start anything. guess i should be watching the other videos instead of this channel
Chris Baker I hadn't looked at the description til you mentioned that. They did show everything they did to it, although fast. From my understanding most of what gets replaced in a trans rebuild is just clutch plates and seals and such. If you were a really, really fast learner I guess you could learn off this video but I don't think that's the goal they had. Check out some of their other videos on engines and car restores :)
Iv watched all your videos, engine and carb, the lot many times, so entertaining and interesting, most mechanics dont have your ability to cover all aspects of mechanical repairs, machining etc, very knowledgeable and clever guys. we all need new engines to watch ))
Dayyum! That's a lot of work! It seems much easier emptying it out, and running with diesel in it for a few rotations, getting out all the crud, and inserting new oil....
The truly amazing thing is that all those intricate parts were designed on a manual drafting table. They did not have CAD- CAM or anything like that in 1962. This country was once magnificent.
And no parts left over? That's amazing!
I think thats probably the worst thing to happen with an AT lmao
It's not that bad, the factory puts extra parts in there all the time. :-D
Phoenix Franks if you have extra parts it just means you’ve made it more efficient and that grinding, tearing and loud boom you heard before the engine locked up is not the fault of the extra parts at all
I replaced the head gasket on my camaro, and by the end I had about 5 extra bolts.
That means good luck.

Mysterious things, automatic transmissions...
No mystery, just science. Sometimes it does look like magic though
These time lapses are very entertaining, loved the engine build ones.
Holy cow ! Just confirms my desire to NEVER want to know anything about repairing an automatic transmission! what an invention !
And that's why automatic transmission work is so damn expensive!
Yeah too bad you couldnt rebuild one in the same time as the time lapse lol
sure you could , it just wouldn't work
This transmission is a pretty complicated early model trans. A newer trans that's comparable such as an AOD(e) from crown vics are much, much simpler. With a team of 3 people, we had one torn down in a couple hours and completely rebuilt (and upgraded) in a couple days. Most of that time was actually waiting on parts.

Hagerty heck yet there's people that remove caps on soda bottles and forget how it goes back.
There's another reason why all of this was recorded, video footage also helps with the rebuild when taking something apart
A book and practice.
I find just trying to add the right amount of transmission fluid is a huge feat. The mechanic deserves a medal.
good work as usual guys. these people really love their jobs
These time lapse videos make me believe that anyone with the right tools and with the knowledge on which parts to get can do it

cloth rags tend to leave behind lint, strings and debris. All it takes is one tiny piece of string in the right place, no different than a grain of sand, to jam up a valve body. Work on automatic transmissions should be as clean as clean can get.

All it takes is, tools, parts, and knowledge, love these videos, even I can learn a little bit by watching
Wear gloves! Dermatitis ain't cool
These are ultimately the most satisfying time laps on you tube
i would have rather it been explained how to do this so it's actually useful to someone wanting to know how to rebuild a transmission
