    I can't possibly imagine why anyone needs to disparage any of your videos. They're the best of the best. This build video highlighted some info that every THM 350 builder can use everyday...

    You did a very good job of explaining the different processes and the terminologies. Being about your age, I think, I can hear in your vernacular your experience as well as the people you learned from. This video was fun for me, as it reminded me of the work I did as a young man. I wish we had those rebuild kits 30 years ago. I hope the young people watching your instruction can appreciate not only your skills and knowledge, but the learning environment you create. Teaching while doing is not an easy thing to do. I did it for many years in my profession. Your verbal delivery of instruction while showing the process at the same time is about as perfect as can be. I have watched to many training videos to count. I actually enjoyed yours. I thank you much.

    Hiram has got it going on! He is one of the best instructors on RUclips. I have rebuilt a transmission myself once, but I didn't trust my work, therefore I did not use it. Hiram shows where the mistakes can occur, and he also informs us of the proper parts used for the particular rebuild. This is great! Hiram, keep-up the good work. I'll keep watching.

    My father is a retired police mechanic and he did all the transmissions, Hiram you sound just like my dad talking about ingenuity, the screwdriver your special tools look just like the ones he gave me. I am doing my first rebuild since tech school, that was 2000. My father is not into social media and such but he has found RUclips recently and I am going to have him make you his first subscription! He said he put his tools away one final time now its my time to build my own transmissions, I just wanted a refresher on assembly, but I am walking away from the computer with a smile on my face. You are A #1 for hands on real life scenario bench building. My hat off to you sir!

    I've been away for a while but the th350 videos were a GREAT help! I built one over a year ago for a truck I no longer have and it has been in storage ever sense. I went with the high performance kit with the kolene steels. Also put in the Transgo kit. Up to this time, I had only rebuilt a powerglide back in the early 80s for class. The th350 ended up in a Mazda b2200 with a SBC that I recently completed. With your help and common sense approach to teaching with videos, my project was a complete success!!!! Thank you for posting informative and entertaining videos! Blessings!!

    i've been watching your videos for a while now & i think you make a great teacher. i do all my own transmission work myself. the first trans i ever done was a th350 & the second was a 2004r (200r4 whichever it is lol) which lasted at least 12 years until the car got stolen a couple years back. then a c6 (easy) & now i'm building a nice th400 to go behind a stout 383 sbc. when i was younger i ran around with a boy who's dad rebuilt transmissions for a living so i learned a lot from both of them. his dad walked me through a th350 that he was doing for a customer. that was pretty cool to do. most people are intimidated by them & are afraid to tackle doing it themselves, but in all honestly they're not to bad. get a good manual & watch Hiram's videos (or whoever has one of what your working on) & try it yourself. not all take special tools to work on & a lot of people show you tricks on how to get the job done without the specialty tools. thank you for doing what you do. you make a difference whether you know it or not.

    Hiram: i owned/operated an AAMCO franchise for 15 yrs. You are dead on, regarding get it done right and get it out the door. These young "rookies" will learn that it has to work right or the owner is not happy, lost $, R&R men frustrated, taking the unit out and reinstalling again. 20 yrs ago a builder could push out 4 (350, c-6 etc) a day, today he is good to get 1-2 a day and that is a top notch builder. Unreal pressure on builders. Great builders make great money as does the owner.

    • @royallclark6331

      Dead on John. I started with Aamco in 1972. learned on all the old iron. It was nothing to pump out 3-4, C-4, Powerglides, Torqueflites in a day... I made good money for 30 years in the transmission industry.

      Those were simple compared to the transmissions today. Just the difference from a 350 to a 4l60e is quite bit more time

    Good job with the video. Back in the 1970's I rebuilt 2 of these per day. They were going bad at 30,000 miles. Therefore, these trannies got a bad rap. Not because they were a bad transmission, it was planned failure by GM. The lip seals in the clutch packs were very small. Eventually, they would wear slightly or become hard and oil would bypass the seal causing failure. The rebuilt kit had much larger lips on the seals. These were very good trannies. After a rebuild, they worked very well. I don't think we ever had one come back. Unlike the Fords of the day with their sticking valve bodies.

    It's Sat 4am, dreaming, I'm hearing this constant banging and rattling metal to metal. WTF as I'm coming-to and hoping it'll go away. Gawd, it's like a metal shop bench I recognize as an FAA Certified Aircraft Mechanic at 16 years old. It's coming from my PC and I roll over trying to focus on the display I remember last night ...Mercedes E320 Wheel Speed Sensors... and wha? TN350? How did this huh? 2:00++ hours long omg??!! But I couldn't stop watching, before my eyes you're reassembling a trans I've only heard about. Actually decades ago, I was an Auto Service Contract Claims Adjuster where I discussed these components on the phone with mechanics, parts to which you were referring this very moment. Quite a fascinating video and I really enjoyed your expertise, finesse and mechanical "address" of energy. Theory vs. practicality is oh so a reality in the field, further, an A&P mechanic does not an automotive one make - that's for sure - and your video clearly demonstrates. As a DIY'er on my own benz's for 30 years I'm comfortable amongst the technology and fluid dynamics but still apprehensive when it comes to the automotive-astute mind you exemplify. Only a wrench in both realms can try describe another wrench, better, you just "know." Mostly I've learned, one is really good at one more than the other. You're really really good at what you do bro. Thanks for the great production! And to the Spring Valley and Cajon Speedway post, I feel ya'. Carlsbad dragstrip was a great venue too!

    Hi Hiram, I just wanted to tell you that I really enjoyed your video. Just so you can gain some perspective concerning your viewers, I am a truck nut (Square body Chevys) with no training concerning transmissions. I am getting ready to rebuild my engine and transmissions and I wanted to be up to date on the inner workings of a turbo 350 tranny. To me this is one large 1000 piece puzzle. You explained every part of it and showed us all how to access things and how to pull and then re install the parts. This video ensures I don't get ripped off by some smooth talking con artist at a shop. Now Ive seen the parts, and Ive seen what it takes to tear one down and put one back together...in detail! I am sure there is TONS more to know, but I can tell you I do feel so much better now that Ive seen you do the work. It was a pleasure listening to you work and I thank you very much for putting this on RUclips. And yes, I subscribed!

    Hiram, Thank you for taking all the time to produce these videos. I am NOT a professional mechanic but have been building and repairing cars & motorcycles for several decades. With little experience on an automatic transmission and only your videos and a book, I completely rebuilt my TH350 for my '78 Trans Am (w/'73 455 bored and stroked). Took me about two weeks off/on after work kept going back to your videos as reference. Today, my T/A got a test drive and everything is perfect. My car would not move an inch before I started. It turns out the outer seal on the Low/Reverse piston had deteriorated. There was no way pressure would build behind it to engage the clutches. All seals replaced, all fibers, all metals, band, etc. Thanks again!!!! My car runs perfect thanks to your help!!!!

I DO KNOW I HAVE ALL THE TOOLS TO REBUILD MINE, BUT MY BRAIN COULD NEVER KEEP THE PARTS AND PIECES ORGANIZED, SO HERE IN SPOKANE WASHINGTON I HAVE A FEW FOLKS THAT SPECIALIZE IN 350 BUILDS AND I WILL CHOOSE ONE OF THEM. I KNEW THAT AUTOMATICS HAD LOTS OF PARTS, OVER MY HEAD EVEN THOUGH IM A MECHANICLLY INCLINED PERSON. I HAVE A SM465 TORE DOWN BUT IT NEEDS MORE PARTS AND A LOT MORE TIME TO GET IT UP AND GOING TO PUT INTO MY TRUCK THAT IS SET UP FOR AUTOMATIC, SO GOING TO HAVE THE TRANS REBUILD BY A SHOP AND I WILL REBUILD THE 205 T CASE AND THE DIFFS MYSELF. NEED TO GET THE TRUCK ROLLING IN THE SPRING TIME. WHAT WOULD BE THE BEST REBUILD KIT FOR A TRUCK 350 TRANS AND WHAT MANUFACTUER,I HAVE SEEN THIS ONE COMPANY CALLED "MONSTER" DO YOU HAVE A OPINION ON THIS COMPANYS PARTS. THANKS AGAIN ON SUCH A GREAT VIDEO. IF ANYONE IS WORKING ON CHEVY TRUCKS AND REBUILDING SM465'S AND 205 TRNAFER CASES THE PLACE ON RUclips TO GO IS "GEBBUILD" CHANNEL HE HAS LOTS OF VIDEOS HEAVY CHEVY FIXES.

    Having rebuilt 2 THM-350's myself, I completely enjoyed your videos and some of your techniques that I wish I had known at the time. One thing that surprised me is that you didn't lube most of the replacement parts. I suppose the bushings didn't really NEED a touch of oil before they were driven in, but it's still something i would do if it were me. Same thing for all the screws and seals... a touch of oil before putting them back in. One trick I used with the valve body checkballs was to "glue" them in place with a touch of grease. My OCD personality would have kept me removing the separator plate and checking if they were still there! LOL!

    Thanks Hiram. I just finished my 350 with your videos. My core looked even better than yours, but because of you I figured out many issues. I pulled the pan and thought the box would have damage, now I believe it’s torque converter blew up. My trans had NO end play shims, missing one internal filter, worn clutches and TONS of red silicone. Plugged up oil passages in the front pump. A lot of work to pick all the pieces out!

    You really know your transmissions. You are very good, quick, and through both with repairs and explaining at the same time.

    Awesome video sir! I bought a book, watched both your videos, and now I'm gonna go build my THM350 till it shifts hard enough to break a output shaft. Brutal hard shifts ramming horsepower into my slicks! YES!

    Hands down best transmission videos I've seen. Straight to the point and real talk. I could tell that you knew what you were doing just by the way you disassembled this transmission. I would love to have you build a transmission for my 4x4 Chevy...

    @mike198383 5 лет назад

    This is just mind blowing to the amount of pieces and components you have to keep track of and what order they go in to the transmission.

    I have no idea why people won’t subscribe . I’ve watched this video at least 5 times . I built a TH 350 for my drag car 3 years ago . Works great 9.24 in 1/4 mile very good video . You might think of a 350 with trans brake and the 7004r center support ! People aren’t using them there afraid of them .you know a hell of a lot more than I do !

    Hands down best tutorial videos on RUclips....my first time into an automatic transmission, I watched and referenced your 4L80E vid and applied a couple 'techniques' to the direct drum and it pulls like a freight train after 20,000 miles and I tow in overdrive all the time except on hard pulls and that's mostly to keep the engine cool...GREAT TEACHER

    You remind me of my friend Steve, he ran the transmission shop rebuild room at Palm Chevrolet in Ocala Florida .. just like him you know your shit an ace wrench and you most definitely know your shit. You make transmission rebuilds look like Child's Play, and of course anybody that has ever turned a wrench nose they are not,and there isn't a more technical job in the world.... Transmissions have a bazillion moving Parts they only fit if positioned correctly,and everything has to be in good working order.. undoubtedly Transmissions is one of the hardest positions at a dealership,or in any shop really..I subscribed, and I plan on watching all the time.. Thank you for the videos God bless you,, and your family my friend....Be well

    not allot of flash, just a bare bones, step by step, detailed how to video. Watching this video, to brush up on th350's. Have not done one, in awhile. At the Dodge dealership in SE Cleveland, I did a ton of RWD truck and Jeep automatics. Then I moved to Florida, went to work for a race team and did all their NMT200 Hewland 6 speed sequentials. What a BIG difference! Had 35 gearboxes to maintain. As President of our car club, fixing all the hoodlums transmissions, seems to be part of the deal. No worries. Love exercising my skills. This one is going in Nads' 1959 El Camino. So, debating on upgrading the shifts or just keeping it stock. Just a mild custom cruiser, with 400 small block.Thanks for sharing.

    Wow! - thank you for taking the time to do this..I'm inspired to tackle this more now than ever - I tore down a c4 years ago when I was younger in the basement of our house and got freaked out..now it makes way more sense.
    Thank you.

    Wonderful video. Learned a lot. I noticed that you didn't use gasket sealer when you put the pan on. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. You didn't have to do that. True professional.

  • @jakespeed63
    @jakespeed63 5 лет назад

    Hiram, thanks for the video. Despite being a veteran technician, with 35+ years experience, always good to brush up on some details. Did notice a few things, that I was taught and normally do, that you skipped. Quite certain you have your own proven methods.This TH350, is going in my car club brother's '59 El Camino. doing the swap, next week. Will let you know how it works out. Opted out of the shift kit upgrade. This unit was in good shape, just sitting around for years, dried up seals. She's all fresh now. Excited to put it in.JTPres:Orlando Misfires CC

    i think the people that don't subscribe is because they are not planning on rebuilding a transmission after they see how many parts are involved and the people like myself that do subscribe are planning on doing it ourselves and you are really good at showing every step of the process and why you have to do things the right way and show us the right way.. i am going to rebuild my first THM 350 with a shift kit just like the one in the video, so i will be re-watching your videos a few times prob.. lol
    thanks a lot Hiram

    Hiram, Thanks for taking the time to do this. I'm rebuilding a 350C for my 81 Vette. It now has a rebuilt 350 (20 yr ago) with high stall converter that leaks out of the front pump flange. Since gas mileage went from 18 to 14 so trying to get more mileage but still want to be able to handle mildly built 350. I have the build manuals etc but you made it much more interesting. I love 'that a boy' etc. Anyway I did subscribe and appreciate your help.

    so much of what you say about production work in your field is the same as mine ( body work). we have gotten young guys who will do a tear down for inspection and spend wayyyy toooo much time or spend too much time with filler work etc etc . I have built a few th350's over the years for my stuff and friends and im not even in the realm of being a pro but your videos help a lot. Not only tech help but your description of the products and kits. Awesome content brother.
