That has me thinking of working 3 years in auto repair, and the first time I had to explain that engine replacement is required. Well, I left that to the salesman anyway.

@@RandoWisLuL I said it because I thought there was at least some similarity between finding the really bad news and this. I wasn't exactly pawning off responsibility. It was policy that the tech does not directly talk to the customer first. After that point customers were permitted to talk to techs. The salesman is said to be the more socially adept. The customer gets to talk to techs afterwards so they can explain what the salesman can't. It also provides more assurance that the salesman is not trying to sell what is not needed.

Thanks for showing this, having a car is a real responsibility, most of people think it's just like any tool or object but it's not, its a piece of engineering and often requires maintenance, money and time.
Teeth refers to the sprockets/gears. They will wear down (slivers) or break off eventually but they should be good for a long time if you keep the gears lubricated. But looks like leak for awhile and that led to teeth breaking off some gears and rattling noise from the loose teeth. I'm guessing transmission fluid leak. It gets all black like that when it leaks and mixes with grease/grime/dirt so can be hard to tell from dirty oil but usually no oil will destroy an engine (along with all the warnings, metal on metal sounds, etc), not just some rattling.
This video reminds me of how much i used to love going to a mechanic (when i had MONEY for responsible regular upkeep) because I loved to chat with the mechanics, learn about my vehicle and the functions behind it (just like knowing "If you drink nothing but soda youll get kidney stones and headaches, drink some water"), with the added benefit of "well they're taking care of this crap thing now so it doesn't become a nightmare thing tomorrow" Going to a mechanic regularly made me so confident in my vehicles, but the economy is so ass right now that I turn my car on, see the lights on my dash, and say "yeah I'll walk to work today..."

The transmission, transfer case, and differential oils hadn't been changed in 31 years on my 1993 T100, and I did that just last month or so. It was just a little silvery, but as I watched the stream it was like seeing glitter suspended in oil, and I could still see through it.

As far as I could tell, she's holding up well for 217k miles. I put Toyota GL5 in the diffs but they don't have a good in-house GL4 any more, so I got Red Line MT90 and it shifts great. I would just shit if I ever encountered anything like this.
@@themishapgarage3403 I don’t trust shops or the dealerships as much any more, so I’ve been buying the factory service manuals and teaching myself. I’ve been buying my parts from the dealership to the point that they give me decent deals too, and the parts are better quality. Other times I’ll find the OEM manufacturers that sell to the company and buy their parts, unless it’s something like suspension components. I installed my first set of valve cover gaskets and a new PCV valve for shits and giggles so it would quit coating itself in oil (3VZ-E), and not too long ago I re-greased and put new boots on the drivers side CV axle that had like a 1” split/tear around the clamp. The older ones are so cool because the axle is separate and self-contained from the front differential. You’re not pulling a spline from the diff and pissing gear oil everywhere, the axle has its own back plate where it bolts onto the shaft coming out of the diff. I could go on and on about what I’ve done because it’s satisfying work to me, but I’ve probably saved us thousands of dollars that have primarily gone into quality parts instead.

My uncle owned an AWD Nissan Murano in Texas. I told him when to go and have the AWD fluids changed. Various Texas repair shops were so incompetent they said that such fluids do not exist. Always read your vehicle user manuals. Always do the services mentioned on schedule or earlier. Doing so saves you thousands of dollars in repairs. Many services in that manual are not known to repair shops. They are especially unknown to quick lubes. If he changed his gear oil on schedule, odds are it would have greatly extended the lifespan of the oil seals. This is another reason doing every service on or ahead of schedule saves you thousands of dollars.
@@themishapgarage3403 He eventually found one. It just blew my mind that repair shops could be so incompetent, that they think only a 4WD truck would need such services.

@@solidsnake6405 that’s been my experience too. My family has 4 Hondas all from within the last 6/7 years so they have the CVT. All the drain plugs looked the same with the mud consistency. I’m thinking as long as the CVT fluid is changed out every 30K - 40K miles, should be fine.

Oil, brakes, tires, etc. Everything else is great as far as I know. I'm not a mechanic but i somewhat now my way around a car. I can do basic to intermediate level things and as I said everytime I ask a real mechanic about transmission fluid they tell me something different. Most tell me to just leave it alone because it's already too late to change
@@nomaderic If you are going to change the fluid yourself, (and want to risk it), get a large jar and keep the old fluid and put new fluid in. If the tranny starts slipping or doesn’t move at all, remove the new fluid and put back the old fluid back.
Guess it is a 4 wheel drive. The rear differential might not work anymore but front wheels still work. Like dragging yourself with your arms, after your legs stopped working.
I’m not any sort of mechanic or anything but I do have a fair bit of practical knowledge about cars and I can say that that stuff in the oil makes me verrrry upset. Though to be fair, at least they have oil in there. My sister’s car broke down a couple years ago because she forgot to refill the oil.
Please put on some gloves. I'm not even hating, I am genuinely concerned about your health. If you handle oil or grease on a daily basis you can't go bare-handed, it's dangerous. Like.. skin cancer dangerous.
"So when was the last time you changed your fluids?" "You're supposed to change those???" I've been told by mechanic friends that's the moment you notice just how broke they look.

Teeth are the gears, they make the car go, I have no worldly idea how.
Teeth refers to the sprockets/gears. They will wear down (slivers) or break off eventually but they should be good for a long time if you keep the gears lubricated.

Oooooooooo there’s chunks. Is that technical speak for something? 🥴😂🤣😂
One part turned to many
Save those shavings! They're great for Wooly Willy's!!👨🧔🧔♂
@@zigwil153 Well shoot! Why didn't I think of that?!
never thought id see a car pass kidney stones, but here we are
There's a first for everything
Is that some alien lifeform?
Kinda looks like one
this is the vehicular maintenance equivalent of going into the doctor's office about a rash on your inner thigh only for them to notice the synovial fluid in both your femoral joint cavities has several shards of bone in it, and you end up leaving with an arthritis diagnosis, a prescription for anti-inflamatories, and a referral to a surgeon
I'm not a human doctor, just a car one but that sounds about right.
How do you operate a motor vehicle without realizing that something shattered, the remnants of which are now occupying your oil pan?
In the transfer case and it wasn't making a peep when I test drove it to find the rattle!
@@themishapgarage3403 wow, goes to show how quiet a problem can be.
Terrifying.
The lord was looking out for that person BIG time! 😳
Sure was! Made the hour trip to the shop without leaving them stranded.
@@themishapgarage3403 😳 wow… that lasted an hour longer to get there… that’s incredible. I can’t wait to see how y’all are going to fix her up. Now, that is going to be incredible…. Keep us updated 🚘
Customer picked up a used $300 transfer case from the junkyard. Slapped it in and he says no problems with it.
ferrofluid ? What is that suppose to be originally ? Oil ?
Was bearings that ground away. This is just the more expensive way of making it.
I spent maybe 10 minutes replaying the video listening to each part and laughing, I think I'm going crazy
Haha that's awesome. I appreciate ya being here.
When was the last time they changed the transmission fluid?
@@wingman-1977 Do not have the slightest clue
I have a corolla since brand new and have never changed mine. Some ppl tell me I should, some ppl say that I shouldn't. Some ppl say that if I do it at this point it'll just mess things up. So idk. Toyota themselves said it's "lifetime". But I know that's probably baloney.
@@nomaderic Thaf “lifetime” line is bs. If you ask them what’s the warranty of the tranny, it’s about 60,000 miles. What year is the car and how many miles does it have?
@wingman-1977 2020 corolla I bought it in March 2021 and have since put over 150k miles on it in just 3 years. No issues at all with the car besides basic maintenance. Oil, brakes, tires, etc. Everything else is great as far as I know. I'm not a mechanic but i somewhat now my way around a car. I can do basic to intermediate level things and as I said everytime I ask a real mechanic about transmission fluid they tell me something different. Most tell me to just leave it alone because it's already too late to change
@@nomaderic If you are going to change the fluid yourself, (and want to risk it), get a large jar and keep the old fluid and put new fluid in. If the tranny starts slipping or doesn’t move at all, remove the new fluid and put back the old fluid back.
When you said those were probably teeth off a gear, the weight of the situation hit me. I'm no car connoisseur but that cannot be good.
Definitely not an ideal situation.
@@themishapgarage3403 How long would you estimate it's been like that before it got serviced?
I honestly have no idea. First time I've seen this customer vehicle.
@@themishapgarage3403 Damn. If it's any longer than an hour or two of driving then that thing's been running on hopes and dreams.
@@The21stGamer No clue how it made it without giving out.
So can some one explain to me what are those chunks being pulled? I am not super car savvy.
What's left of the bearings and some of the gear teeth. Basically one part became many in a very bad way.
Would be cool to see video of full repair.
I made one and it wasn't very camera friendly so I decided to erase it.
That's not just one bad day that's probably a bad month...
He had no idea until I put it in the air
@@themishapgarage3403 how? I suspect that would have made something of a horrendous noise when it grenaded...
@@themishapgarage3403 how? I suspect that would have made something of a horrendous noise when it grenaded...
@@evanstedman7405 I have no idea. I pulled it in and had no idea either. Junkyard t case should be here this week or next.
What were the pointy things coming out of the metal at 0:56?
Pieces of bearing
Dude, how did he even get that there
It wasn't making noise. I don't know how it wasn't, but I took it for a drive when it came in and nothing.
Guess it is a 4 wheel drive. The rear differential might not work anymore but front wheels still work. Like dragging yourself with your arms, after your legs stopped working.
This is what organ failure in a machine looks like.
Does this constitute as car gore?
I'll allow it
“And hopefully there wasn’t something catastroph- eeeeaaooowwwhhhhhh hang on…”
Hope for the best, plan for the worst. Turns out it was the latter
There is no way the owner doesn’t know the exact moment that failure happens.
@@Prosecute-fauci I took it on a test drive to find the rattle and the t case made 0 noise.
1:31 wait, that would make an amazing drum
The catch can? I could see that. Metal can has a good resonation to it.
Why are you risking metal splinters lol
For the people watching of course!
Wasn't nearly as bad as this but I needed my 2004 Jeep's transfer case swapped out last month too. Was surprised how hard it was to find.
They don't hardly ever fail so yards don't keep them around as they just take up space it seems like.
@@themishapgarage3403 my viscous coupler went. lost all power to the wheels when turning beyond about 30 degrees in either direction
Best to trade it in just like it is 😂
@@wb5mgr He wants er fixed. Brought me a junkyard case today.
I’m not any sort of mechanic or anything but I do have a fair bit of practical knowledge about cars and I can say that that stuff in the oil makes me verrrry upset. Though to be fair, at least they have oil in there. My sister’s car broke down a couple years ago because she forgot to refill the oil.
Should have had 2 quarts in it. Maybe half a pint came out.
@@themishapgarage3403 Yeahhh… still not great, but it could’ve been worse.
0:59 is that ferrofluid?
Basically, yes. Iron shavings and oil.
Thats what i thought lol
@@themishapgarage3403yup I thought so too
I would be devastated if that was my ride.
@@XOTICXPATRIATE He's not the happiest about it but luckily it was caught before it left him stranded along side the road.
@@themishapgarage3403 well this is true.
That's chunks of gears.
Yup and bearings.
That’s why you change your oil…
@@TheClubsOfDEATH Transfer case takes ATF but same principle
Surprisingly fun to see you go “oh no” over how bad of a condition the car is in
Glad you got some enjoyment out of it. Customer sure didn't!
I figured they wouldn’t lol
OOOF, CARNAGE!!!
@@elppedro77 Yup! Good one too!
I could listen to this guy commenting on anything for the whole day
As long as he isnt commenting on your vehicle lmao
Please put on some gloves. I'm not even hating, I am genuinely concerned about your health. If you handle oil or grease on a daily basis you can't go bare-handed, it's dangerous. Like.. skin cancer dangerous.
I usually do. I appreciate the concern.
I thought shit was ferrofluid for a second 💀
Basically what it is. Iron shavings and oil.
"So when was the last time you changed your fluids?"
"You're supposed to change those???"
I've been told by mechanic friends that's the moment you notice just how broke they look.
Or how in shock they are as they never knew anything was wrong.
Metal shavings in the oil is the car equivalent of coughing up blood. Always suggests a deeper, more severe problem.
Something bad is coming
Ouch 😳
That's the best way to put it
surprised the car made it in there!
Without any noise at that!
"Oh no that's pointy stuff, oh no."
Bad things!
I may only by partially mechanically minded but I can *feel* the pain here
Definitely not good
I love it when my oil turns into a psuedo-ferro fluid!
Premium kind. Way more expensive to make.
“So that’s where this one’s gonna end” *customer died after phone call*
Almost. Lol
It's a miracle this car made it to your place
