WHATS Up Asain Guy?..aka Scotty Kilmer?🐵
Yep 7% is enough to call Scotty Kilmer a fish head🤣🤣😅
My first name is japanese so i can talk😅
What do you think of the first honda hr-v cvt automatic ? 1999 model
Scotty you should seriously consider writing a mechanics book. Listing all problems and solutions, maintenance and everything. I would buy that in a heartbeat. The experience you have is absolutely amazing.
I 2nd this
He's already written one, originally published in 1994, then updated in 2017.
@@don8244 name please?
Lmao cars come with owners manuals 😂😂😂
100% agreed
Never quit, Scotty! You are helping millions of us!
Let’s face it. We learn more from Scotty than we ever did in school.
that's because school teaches you how to listen to other people, I teach you how to be self-sufficient
When it comes to cars, most definitely.
He's a mechanical genius

@@scottykilmer my 4l60e isn't shifting into gears correctly need a rebuild I'm at 242k on 04 Silverado 4.8 v8 😅bought it 2 years ago july 2020 with 186k drive the piss out of it
Kansas is trash
Wow the physically changing it into gears advice saved my life lol
Thanks Scotty you the best!
"Put it on your wife! See how loud she is!" Scotty with his great sense of humor

humor? he was serious 😂😂😂
Scotty going for PRs 😭
YES STILL LAUGHING, STILL,STILL,STILL AND STILL
Worked at a FORD dealer in 70's and I was the noise meter.. Finding noise and rattles riding in trunks, head stuck out windows, DOOR OPEN A LITTLE, all going down the road.. back in the day..
You made me feel better . Shudder is common in older mercurys and fords so I’m gonna drive it and put lube guard anti shudder in again . Now I can call them reliable beaters . Thank you
Had that once on my old Mercury, in that case it was a cracked low-reverse band.
The world needs more Scotty’s! An honest to goodness man who is passionate about cars!
There is no chance in heck that a mechanic, other than Scotty, is going to hook up six sensors underneath a vehicle in order to detect where a sound is coming from. So, it's an interesting and useful tool, but it would simply require too much time and patience for 99% of mechanics out there to use. They would rather guess and then start firing the parts cannon.
No. They'd rather charge you for parts and extra labor you don't need because they "can't find the problem."
Same with doctors.
@@goodiegoodygumdrops I think that is exactly what he is saying lol
@@goodiegoodygumdrops I'm with you on the mechanics thing. Doctors however, pull your head mate, it's 12 years of study just to become a beginner level general doctor.
I'm sure your 35 minutes on Google doesn't compare.
@@MattBlack6 Doctors love to run test after test after test and try different meds to see what happens. That's what they do. What does the amount of years that it takes to get an M.D. have to do with it?
@The High Llama...you just stated the difference in a MECHANIC and a "parts swapper" the latter of which is at most "Stealership" shops.
Perfect video, thank you so much Scott. You are the only ole man I can trust. Keep up the good work
That noise finder device is very interesting, I’ve never seen those before. 👍
I learn more stuff from Scotty than my automotive tech class. Thank you so much!
I freekin' LOVE this guy!!! So much knowledge, and he's willing to give it to us for FREE! How can you beat that?!?
He’s making money off the channel. He’s not doing it for free, but he’s probably a great dude in person.
I really enjoy that Scotty goes out of his way to not repeat himself.
3 signs your transmission has a serious problem:
1.) Is it a ford?
2.) Is it a 4l60e?
3.) Is it a new dodge?
😂
4L60E will last forever if you read the owner's manual which most people don't 😂
Don't tow/off road in overdrive, change fluid at service intervals, and use the parking brake like intended and they'll go on forever. 300,000 on mine so far! Not a problem with it, still shifts smooth
Thank you so much scotty.Scott. I bought my car based on your car videos. Now you help the people with transmission problems
The 2007 Impala with the 3.8 engine is on a top 10 best older used cars list. Two things. The cooling elbows on the heads will Crack if they are original plastic. Dorman makes a metal replacement part, and 2) if the car ran dexcon antifreeze, the lower intake manifold could be corroded, and antifreeze and oil could mix and trash the engine. The 3.8 GM engine was very durable otherwise.
My 07 Impala has a 3.9l. I thought they discontinued the 3.8l in 2005.
Web says '07 didn't offer 3.8
@@anonymissed3611 whatever. So I wasn't exactly correct about the engine size. Petty details don't matter. The same problem still exists in the next engine. American car engineers wouldn't dare engineer an existing production engine to be reliable. I don't have American car problems. I drive reliable vehicles.
@@keithhults8986 I am a fan of the 3.8. About 270k. on a 2001 LeSabre. The engine will last beyond the frame, sadly.
@@anonymissed3611 I had a 3.8 in a 1980 Chevy Monza Spyder with a stick. I disconnected the emissions and made a few adjustments. I beat the crap out of the car. The engine stood up to running near the red line for 80k miles. I sold it and got a 1976 280Z Racharo seats, western wheels. Cam, big mouth injection Anza exhaust, chain, head, valves. 143mph 160hp stock. Mine was 325hp no turbo.
My van doesn’t have a tachometer. I replaced spark plugs and it seems to have fixed the misfires and stalling and no-starts. But I’m not convinced it’s all good. Might do distributor and injectors and see how it sounds/runs.
Scotty is *AMAZING* . People, now a days don't have the patience to do what Scotty did, & it only took him 15 minutes. The dealer doing a 5 minute test drive, is alot quicker, " can't find anything, send in next vehicle." It's all money, money, money to dealers, NOTHING more, sad really. 😲😲😲
When he says a junkyard and the chevy dealer pops up I laugh so hard every time
In the ford dealers defense they said it was the transmission didn’t they they just said they didn’t know how to fix it. Which it seems there is no way to fix it without full trans replacement
Bought a used car from someone he didn't say anything about the transmission starting to go bad on it and I hope watching your videos will educate me enough where I can fix the problem before it completely goes .
Shifting rough . And I can't afford $1,300 to buy a new one .
long live scotty. you are such a gem. learned a lot from
you.
My Ford dealership told me that I needed a new dashboard when they couldn’t figure out why it was shaking and rattling so badly. They couldn’t figure out that the car needed a new engine mount. How embarrassing.
For reference on reliability of these trucks, I know a guy who bought brand new what I believe is a 2015, kingranch and after 15,000 miles the trans went out. It would appear to be common issue
I had a noise in my 97 jeep ( 174,800 miles ) when put in reverse when it was cold, it would last about 5 seconds then go away. It shifted fine except for that noise in reverse when it got colder outside.
I added a can of Sea Foam Hydra Trans. Tune to it 16 oz. $15.00 at Auto Zone, I DON'T LIKE LUCAS PRODUCTS AT ALL. The noise went away in about 5 minutes & I was very impressed, used Sea Foam products before but not Trans. Tune.
Then about 2 years later went to change my Trans. fluid & man it looked DARK, REAL DARK, NO RED AT ALL. It cleaned all the varnish & junk out of my Trans. as the can said it would. Changed fluid & filter & added another can of Trans. Tune, no more noise but the Jeep's SUB FRAME IS ROTTING IT'S WAY AROUND THE DRIVE TRAIN, THE RUST BELT SUCKS IN N.E. PA.
Scotty, You make it look so easy. I so admire mechanics who "get the job done."
Respect to scotty he taught me alot
My 2006 F150 Lariat SuperCrew with 268,426 miles still shifts as smooth as silk. Got it in 2010 with 54,714 miles on it. Transmission fluid has never been changed by me. I’ve put 213,712 miles on it and pulled an 8,700 lb. fifth wheel travel trailer about 600 miles a year from 2014 till 2018. Would still be pulling the trailer but my wife developed brain cancer and couldn’t camp anymore. It has a 5.4 3v Triton that idles so smooth at the traffic light you’d think it wasn’t running. Guess I got an exception to the rule on older vehicles.
I had.a 1998 Honda Accord that in drive it hardly moved and felt like major slippages but if u manually put it in low and shift it up to Low2 then drive
It had all the power in the world and shifted manually fine..but I wasn’t comfortable to keep driving that way in a automatic
And 5 garages told me it needed a new transmission
After doing research
I found info that a TCM replacement
Would fix it…
So I went to a junk yard and they had one already flashed so just plug n go..
So I did and bam that thing was perfect power n shifted like a dream!
A transmission control module was $150 BEATS a $2,800 transmission
It’s cuz the TCM was getting moisture from rain and the TCM was on the floorboard in between the bottom of the car and the carpet!
So try a TCM replacement first
The CHEV impala has the same issue
With moisture getting into TCM electrical due to its placement
I've never heard of a noise master. It would have come n handy way back in the day.

Always looking forward to another video from Scotty
I had a Impala like that one, I thought it was handsome car. I had no problems at all w/ it. Would change oil regularly. Sold it at 125K.
Hey Scotty. My wife has a 2021 Tacoma V6. We leased it about a year ago. Took it to the dealer for the free oil change. They claimed it could go 10,000 miles between oil changes. After about 13,000 miles, and a so called oil change, the engine was very ticky and rough. I decided to change the oil and filter myself and the oil was super dirty, suggesting they never changed the oil. Now I noticed the exhaust has a lot of carbon and the engine is burning through a little oil. I can tell when the oil gets low by the sound of the engine. I will be doing the oil changes myself every 5,000 miles from now on. My question is, did the dealer screw up my truck by claiming they changed the oil but in reality it looks like they never did?
Man, that sounds annoying. The great news is it's a lease. As long as you have the receipt saying the oil was done, your lease agreement should be satisfied. Whether they actually performed the service is another story.
Personally, if I had any questions (oil burning/odd noises) at the end of the lease, I'd hand it back over to toyota..
Did anyone else catch that at 5:42 “it’s the torque CONFERTER “ lol looks like even scotty didn’t catch it himself
Scotty is amazing i love when he speaks 🙂🙂🙂 he sounds like my lovely grandpa 🙂🙂🙂
If it's just your last gear for uphill acceleration, you can just switch off the O/D to downshift to 3rd, then switch it back when you're done
While I may not agree with everything you say, I sure do love these diagnosis videos! They are simple and down to Earth!
Dodge owners: i only live my life one transmission at a time.
I’m sooo beyond screwed. My sister has been letting me use her 2006 Camry since I lost literally everything in my divorce. Was pretty sure the trans was slipping, had an emergency and no choice but to use the broken car because I can’t afford mechanic work, it totally broke down. Was stranded on the side of the busy freeway here in San Antonio for days! I LIVE in that car! Was finally able to have it towed away but now I’m down a car/place to sleep, my only transportation to see my kids, etc. Smdh. I will never have enough money to get it fixed, much less replace it! Please y’all, if you are blessed enough to talk about “ohhh just junk it and get something different” thank your lucky stars!!!
I watch these videos and all I can think is wealthy people truly have no idea how wealthy they really are! I honestly have nothing left. People talk about replacing cars like it’s so cheap, so easy!! I could NEVER come up with enough money to get another vehicle!
I haven’t enough tears to cry.... smh 😞😞😞😞😞 I wish I had some cousin in Florida to just GIVE me a car, my sister and her husband are FURIOUS with me.
Please just be grateful for all y’all have, ijs.....
Praying for you
@@timbojimbo5661 than you sooo much! I’ll take all the prayers I can get! Bless you
Peace brother. testing before the blessing. Keep the faith.
Should be knowledgeable of what you're dealing with and how to deal with tight budget with what all can be done to make it workup
If your sister is mad at you for something that isn't your fualt, maybe you need to decide who deserves to be in your life. Sounds like a toxic relationship. Keeping people like that is not going to get you out of the hole you are in. And you had a divorce from someone who left you in this situation. You have to respect your self and set boundaries if you want to attract quality people into your life. I am sorry for your situation. I hope things get better.
It also comes down to knowing how to buy a dependable car and learning how to work on it your self. I can not afford a mechanic either which is why I watch these videos and do anything that I can, my self. I have saved $4000 this yr. I take very good care of my car. I got it for $2000 and have had it for 8yrs. Comes down to knowing what to buy and then learning how to work on it.
Good things will come your way if you Believe they will! I have been homeless, and I have MS so I understand what it is like to suffer and be broke. It will get better! Your thoughts form your reality so stay positive! And obviously make good choices especially when it comes to the humans you allow in your life!
I just swapped my manual transmission on my Toyota to a brand new Nissan CVT transmission
I’m looking forward to decades of reliable service
Not gonna happen with that CVT.
Nissan cvt transmission???£ time ⏲️ will tell
Scotty the master 💯
I know you say don’t rebuild transmissions in those old cars, but the new ones they are making now aren’t worth a crap, so I would at least be tempted to put a used tranny in the thing, after all it is an impala, and they made them pretty dependable, so why not keep her going.
Local Toyota dealership told me i needed a whole new drive shaft they wanted to charge me $800 for plus labor. All i needed was a $20 U joint. I do all my own mechanic work now.
What were your symptoms? I think I need a new ujoint
@@Kmclemore a loud hum the faster you go. You might be able to put truck in neutral and rotate drive shaft with your hands to notice any slack. Mine was obvious and you heard a clank.
I’d be honored to drive from Alaska to Tennessee to let Scotty reset my maintenance light😀
I drove my 91 Toyota pick up to a boarder town in Mexico and they installed me a reman 5 speed manual tranny for 450 out da door!!! This was 4 years ago. In San Luis Mex across from San Luis Arizona. The tranny came from Mexicali, Mex.
Going to try the Lucas oil anti-slip on my 2004 Mercury Sable. Not sure if Scotty's ever talked about this make and model before but this has been a great used car I bought in 2012 and it had a hint of a mysterious burnt oil smell when I started the test drive but it was gone before I knew what it was. I smelled the same smell just briefly several times over the last 10 years but it always ran well. In the lasr year the shifting has been getting worse and worse. Hopefully I can use the Lycas Oil anti-slip to get another year or two out of the old girl.
My Ford Dealer declined to service my 2006 F-250, Limited Slip Differential clutches. They don't seem to like working on older vehicles.
Have the same issue and came to the same conclusion. It’s my primary driver but it will only fail once
Scotty make a video about valve covers and piston rings
will do!
On the 2nd car, the impala. Why didn’t you conclude that sensors could be the problem? When you bypass the computer and shift it yourself it shifts fine right? Well, a sensor could cause that problem right?
Scotty Kilmer school of mechanics Excelsior!
Scotty! My truck turned 30 this year, and as a gift, the tranny is going! 93 F150 XL 3.9 I6. I love my old truck. But a couple weeks ago, I lost the ability to accelerate while on my way to work. Long story short, I have to start moving in 2, and when I get to about 40mph, I can kick it into D, but I have to make sure I press the pedal lightly, or the RPMs just shoot up and the thing won't accelerate. Occasionally it will work in D for a minute or so, but it eventually slips. Any recommendations?
Scott, I bought a 1996 toyota corolla dx 1.8L I replaced all the motor mounts and radiator due to it sitting. What all should I do to make it more reliable and more power. It dose have 242k miles. Not sure all the repair history on it. It has a engine shake and squeals, even after all new engine Trans mounts( im assuming a pully, probably idle tensioner pully). It also has no power from a stop ( I seen a common problem with these is the distributor coil) planing on putting a new distributor (complete) and new struts around with a lift spacer 40mm (i am a tall guy lol) anything that should be replaced between the age or millage
Keep it going Scotty!
I would change the transmission module. It might be an issue with the module.
Great examples Scotty. 👍🏾
So what does it mean when my rpm is at 1 when in park ?
The video I needed
has this video been reuploaded? feel like ive seen this video before
On the impala, P1811 is usually fixed with a transgo kit, trans filter and fluid. $125 in parts and good to go. So typical. Seems this goof didn't know that.
Wait really? Have the same vehicle and it does the EXACT same thing the one in the video does, and it has the same code too. What exactly is a transgo kit?
@@cdos9186 Transgo kit on my 2004 chevy venture. worth a try it worked for me
Never heard of a transgokit. Gotta look it up
My vehicle is 18years old. My transmission still runs really well
I think it would be worth as to fix it! Those engines go over 300000 miles!!!
You posted this video 2 weeks after my transmission exploded. I wish I had this video 2 weeks ago
I drove a car when I was logging and manually shifted it for 3 and a half years no problem ,thank God it was not Electric .
I drive a 2002 Honda Civic ex coupe , notoriously known for their AT failure. There’s a non serviceable trans filter inside the transmission. When mine started to whine I just drilled a hole in the bottom to access the internal filter screen, sprayed with brake cleaner, plugged the hole… no more whine and no more slippage.
😲😲😲
Took my car to amcco and they said my transmission needed rebuild. I hadn't noticed anything weird before they did anything to it. I was just getting a check up before driving across country. I wanted to make it without breakdown so I had the work done. After they rebuilt it, I noticed some weird things like having a hard time shifting on the freeway, hard time going up hill and started making a subtle but weird grinding noise it had never made before the repair. Took it to another amcco across the country and they said it looked weird(they banged it up alot trying to put it back together at the first amcco) but it was fine and functional. Now it is 16 months later so the warentee is over and now the car jumps when put in reverse. I think the second amcco knew something wasn't right 10 months ago but didn't want to do the work because they don't make much money off of warrentee work.
It is a 97 toyota Rav4 with 150ooomi. Never had any breakdown or issue with it. I am learning to do my own work on it but I don't think transmission is a DIY job? What should I do? It's a great car but I don't want to spend another $5000 to get the transmission fixed again, the car isn't worth $10000. Runs fine for the most part but I don't want to ignore the small issues and have them turn into bigger problems.
Go to car care nut
You should have never accepted any work on it. You can check the atf levels make sure it's actually got the required fluid. After that your best bet is looking online for class action suits against the company unless you're willing to go back to the original shop that did the work. You would get another 100K out of that RAV4 though so if nothing else works try a new fluid change and then just get a remanufactured one from an experienced place
Emily Be carefull who you let work on your car . So many shops are run by dishonest mechanics and Service Reps .
Try and find a good shop that other people recommend to you .
Those places usually have a lot of business .
And learn basic preventive maintainence like how to check your oil , brake fluid level , Coolant level , Power steering and Trans levels .
Another "satisfied" Aamco customer.
I'm hearing more and more mechanics dealerships that don't do diagnostics and focus on computers to tell you everything then throw the parts cannon at cars costing thousands to the customers.
Question - Im looking at buying a used 2008 Nissan xterra X Sport Utility 4D 4.0 V6 with automatic transmission. He is asking $7,500. Its a year with the smod radiator leaking into transmission destroying both issue. Mileage on it currently is around 97,000 miles. Seller im talking with just bought the xterra less than a year ago after his wife totaled one of their other cars so they bought the xterra to help them in their move from florida to california where they and i are now. They say they dont need the additional vehicle as they also have other. I asked if they or previous owner already replaced the radiator and / or transmission given the xterra being one of years nissan made the badly designed radiators that can leak into transmission and vise versa.
He said he does not know if either were replaced, but he hasnt replaced either.
But he proudly said paid the nissan mechanic dealership to do a radiator or transmission flush. Yet from what Ive read its actually recommended to not flush the transmission in these old of xterras as it can damage transmission. Full replacement of transmission fluids being the more recommended safer option.
So given assuming its the original transmission and radiator, and dealership at least gave the xterra a transmission flush instead of replacement, and unknown previous maintenence and repair and issues history before he bought it last year, i am wondering if its likely its going to fail soon?
Or if it can likely continue working good for many years without needintg to replace transmission and or radiator within just a few years?
I test drove it briefly and didnt notice anything obviously slipping, stalling, etc. But I only drove it maybe 10 or 15 minutes and forgot to try out the additional low gear options.
And if there is no leaking at this point between radiator and transmission ( and how do i know for sure ) is it safe for me to just replace radiator and do transmission and radiiator change of fluids ( not another flush )? And this will prevent transmission being damaged, and is it reasonable to expect these transmissions to then last at least another 1000,000 miles before needing replaced?
Evening Scotty! 🏁
evening!
I sure wish I could bring my cars to Scotty to be worked on
Isn't it worth it to replace the torque converter? I thought that used to be a DIY job... above average, and you need a good garage (with something to pull the engine) but still a DIY job for amateur hot rod mechanics?... Or does that not apply to these cars anymore?
you don't pull the motor, you pull the tranny. way easier
Thank God for Scotty
Hey Scotty, I have a 1995 Toyota Camry with a V6. It has 295k miles on it and the transmission is beginning to slip between drive and neutral. It occurs randomly, and the slip will last from anywhere between a fraction of a second to a few seconds, and is quite scary when driving in dense traffic. The speedometer also goes from ghe current speed to 0 while this is happening, causing it to move sporadically. Then it will sometimes slip back into drive and the speedometer wont work at all, at least until I stop, turn off the engine, and restart it. Should I try and use the anti-slip additive recommend in this video, or try something else? I don't have the money to afford a new car, and this one works great for me.
Check to see if transmission fluid is leaking out first. Put some cardboard under your car at night and then check it the next day.
@@AJ-js4xi will try that, thank you!
Did you ever change the transmission fluid?
Huh. I wonder if a bad tranny speed sensor could cause that kind of issue. Definitely scary!
I think my 2010 camry is slipping when the car is cold only from automatic to neutral
I had a 1988 Chevy Celebrity, used, to drive to Boston everyday. 140,000, ran strong, but the computer burned out and it wasn't worth $400 to fix it. dependable car. over drive got good milage with a V6.
My first car was my mom's 1984 celebrity, it had a 2.8 v6 I believe?
actually, I probably would rebuild the tranny in a free Impala from FL
All those gizmos and gadgets he’s always got-it’s like diagnosing *paranormal activity* for cars! 🤣🤣🤣
Video I needed 😂
Yea 🤣🤣🤣
Sir .ur awesome you know to much an that's good for everyone 😉 thank uu very much for all ur videos just awesome sir 👏
This is why I only drive standard trasmission. Stupid automatics always go bad
Imagine living next to Scotty yelling about transmissions all day 🤣
This really revved up my engines
Great video Scotty
I live in a country where we have right-hand drive vehicles I drive a ford ranger pk 2010 model and my transmission has giving up. It carries 5R55W/5R55S transmission what I want to know is are transmissions compatible either from left or right hand drive vehicles because I was told there may be differences.
Bro said you can put it on your wife see how loud she gets. 🤣🤣 that killed me.
Shall we change pressure switch on the transmission?
That noise detector with 6 channels would be great to have for a motorhome(squeak,squeak, rattle, rattle,) lol
Scotty, need to talk about EV more. IEC is out.
Scotty what is your shop name that way if I have any trouble I'll bring it to you
so many vehicles like this that would benefit from a higher viscosity fluid, what is possible in this area?
“SHUT UP YOU STUPID SEAT BELT!” 🤣🤣🤣
Welcome to Scotty Kilmer University! Learned a lot here.
Rebuilt a gm 4 speed trans on my hoe with corvette servos over 10 years ago. 1800 dollars who had a lift in his back yard with a funny car in it and used to own a trans shop. Found him on Craigslist . Now has easily 150k on the rebuild. best decision I ever made.
I've got a 03 Durango with 13k on it. I bought it from a very small car lot near me. I've noticed that when I switch from drive to reverse or vice versa, it takes about 3 to 4 seconds for it to shift. Sometimes it shifts immediately....very weird! While driving, the trans shifts great. No slamming, no slipping...nothing! Just want a general idea what might be the problem so that I can maybe get it fixed before it gets worse! I would appreciate it!
Delayed engagement of the transmission check if your transmission fluid is in good condition. If it is or short of fluid you need to top it
Sound senor is the way to go. But they'll still deny it, not worth their time or money on a 20 year old car/truck where they can get 4x the repair fees in a new car with a careless owner. If the body, frame and engine is still good.. get the Trans fixed. Besides spending $3500 for the Trans or trying to find a not so AB"used" car via marketplace... Though people try to sell their junkers for $20000 now with the "I know what I have no low balls" clause. Or just bend over for that $20k markup on a $26,000 MSRP Ford Maverick.
Scotty's the Man 👍
You are the funniest guy on the RUclips!
