Buena demostracion
Esta usted en EE.UU?
Yes
Hola John Dogg, Tengo 2 transmiciones 1954 y 1955 oldmobile Hydra-Matic, nesesitan ser reparadas, me qustaria saver si usted podria aser ese trabajo para mi?
Thanks John great work you have obviously done quite a few hydro- matics. I am assembling one from my 1953 Lincoln and can not get any end play on the imput shaft. Did you say that is normal?
Very nice John ! If you are interested there is a great series at Weber Auto by prof. John Kelly ! Just scroll down and there will be about 4 or 5 vids . Cheers !
Amazing!! I have 4 of them!!
Great work John. A couple of questions, you do add a ball bearing to the clutch springs, do they have an specific diameter? Does the spring you change come from which transmission model? Thanks
After watching this video I'm pretty sure if mine doesn't work I'm getting a standard
I’m not an old car owner but this video is good for my brain. Muchas gracias!
Same trans built to race by B&M Trans in California in the 50s and 60s Visited them on field trip in 63 Lots of memories LA was a deferent place then
Is this the same as a 1956 Oldsmobile jetaway???
Almost impossible to watch with the bossy have to know it all annoying female, if he were telling her how to make cookies she would go ballistic
Thank you for an incredibly useful video 😎👍... same box as my 52' Cadillac 👍
Hi John, My name is Brad and a fellow transmission rebuilder. I'm working on a 1954 olds Hydramatic a few questions. The car was brought to me after being restored and the transmission did not work. The gentlemen that rebuilt the transmission had past away so that's how I ended up with it. The car will bind up in reverse. The first thing we did was check the band adjustment. I don't know if we were told right but we snugged the adjuster and then turned it in another 2 turns. Is this right? This did not fix the problem. There is also a pipe that keeps blowing out. The one to the rear pump. It is also missing the small spring for the rear band and the retainer in the torque converter drain back. Could they be my problem? I appreciate any advice you have on this. Please check out my TH-cam channel, Brad's Transmissions. you might like them. Thanks Brad Wilde
Falo aqui , do Brasil! Estou restaurando um câmbio igual de uma rolls cinese eyes.... Me ajudou bastante , vi que mistura português com inglês! Achei ótimo!
Very informative video 👍👌.... Need Subscribers? Just subscribe me 😉👍👌💐
WOW!!! I am amazed at the engineering that went into the design of this transmission considering that it was designed in the 1930s!!! What they built was a mechanical analog computer powered by hydraulics!
Okay? Okay? No, no, no! Okay? Okay? No, no, no.... The giant question of the century, "How man are there, eight?" We have a giant mismatch of two people on two different planets.
Excellent video. Thank you!
Enjoyed you work good job.
Good Job
Sincere thanks for saving this knowledge on TH-cam. It is just so valuable for people like me.
To the two idiots who hit the thumbs down... I feel sorry for your parents, you muppets! This is a great video. Thank you Mr. Dodd
Dynaflows please
Awesome ! So technically I can use this video tutor to rebuild mine and everything will be exactly the Same? You should know if its off in anyway I'll be lost. This will be my first attempt to rebuild a transmission of any nature. As long as it's exactly like your excellent video I think I can do it except I don't have a few tools I noticed you used. Also knowing I plan to change everything possible in it can you recommend the best full kit supplier that I can order a complete kit from?
Flat head 8 4.4 ltr
The Pontiac Oldsmobile Cadillac Early Lincolns 1939 Cadillac and Oldsmobile 1947 onwards `Pontiac. The transmission was basically the Same Rolls Royce and Bentley used the Hydramatic 1951 until 1965 1976 Rolls Royce Phantom 6
That was great! So for your next video grab a 1952 Pontiac Chieftain hydromatic and show me how to rebuild mine please :).
Capitan allen Send me a telephone no and I will take you thru mine is 0034 609 502 932 I have Whatsup too
John Dodd where's that number? is it the complete number? International direct call? Or do I dial something first? How much is your kit I'll need an amount. Don't want to waste your time if I'm short the mulah :) . Did you get a chance to see my daughter's build project on that link I sent you?
Thank you all so much for this video, it is very helpful to see such a wonderful hands on how to. Beautiful family!
John, you are a true master. I have much respect for you and your work.
Thank you very much
John Dodd Hi, where you are? I have dynaflow
Thanks John. Did they vary from year to year or was the engineering that good from the beginning? Also, looking to import a 48 Olds to Aust - is there any asbestos in the clutch discs?
No asbestos ever. John Dodd.
Crikey! So jealous of your memory. What year is this box?
On Rolls Royce and Bentley. That transmission goes back to 1951 until 1976 0n the Roll Royce Phantom 6. 1938 until 1955 Cadillac and Oldsmobile
Hi John, been watching your amazing rebuild. Awesome thank you. The ball bearing mod, where are they from and what size? I'm starting my strip and build soon and getting as much info as I can. I have a 55 Olds dual range tranny
I would imagine this doesn't differ much from the Hydramatic on my father's '53 Pontiac Chieftain.
My father's '53 Chieftain had a transmission leak. The front seal was bad. He told me it had to be replaced twice, but after that, it didn't leak anymore.
Thanks for the vid. It helps with my 50 pontiac.
One of the best instructional videos I've seen to date, John Dodds is a folk hero.
Nice work. Hablas muy bien el español John
Hi. GM Powerglide and Hydra-Matic are the same things?? Or not? Explane please. Thanks
no, they are not the same. Hydramatic was the early GM automatic trans first built late 1930's...used during WWII in 2 tanks...then again put in cars after WWII in Olds, Cadillac, then also Pontiac. Buick had its own trans called a Dynaflow. Chevy had its own trans called a Powerglide. The Chevy and Buick transmissions were 2 speeds. The Hydramatic was a 4 speed. In 1956, they changed the Hydramatic to a "Controlled Coupling" design, where it had a 2nd fluid coupling. Then they changed it again around 1960 to a cheaper, lighter "Roto-Hydramatic". Both of these were used until 1964 in Cadillac, Pontiac, Olds- then replaced across the board in all GM car lines with the TH300 and TH400, then shortly afterwards the TH300 was replaced by the TH350. The TH350/400 transmissions soldiered on with true torque converters in them well in the 1980's. They are the premier GM racing transmissions and street transmissions, they are lighter and you can put them in with a floor jack in your driveway with the car on the ramps from underneath- or attach them to the engine and dump it all in one piece from the top with the hood off. The older Hydramatic weighed a LOT, come of the heavy duty truck units were almost as heavy as the engine- as much as 435 lbs. or more. But those old Hydramatics were beefy as hell and actually more durable and more efficient. They got a 1:1 final lockup without a torque converter clutch. For pure torque handling durability, an old Hydramatic set up to shift manually would be really cool. What a friggin' boiler of a transmission !! They are cool machines. I have a pile of them, last count 5 of them. typically if you buy a core from an old junkyard, they leave that transmission on it, cuz if the engine is locked up from sitting, they can't turn the motor to remove all the flywheel.flexplate bolts, to remove it from the engine-so they just leave it on there.
ps- keep in mind the 1930's to 1964 "Hydramatic" in the older design, and not to be confused with the 1965-up "Turbo Hydramatic". completely different units just sharing one common name or suffix.
@@tunnelportterror Oh, an Oldsmobile/GM historian? Good to know where to find you!
@@tunnelportterror How do original hydramatics achieve 1:1 lockup without a torque converter (fluid coupling?) clutch?
Antiquated, under-engineered American rubbish that should have been recycled into being Toyota parts by now.
explain this fuckface, why did they put them in high end LINCOLNS and ROLLS ROYCE ??you idiot1949-1954 LincolnIn 1952, Rolls-Royce acquired a license to produce the HydraMatic for Rolls-Royce and Bentley automobiles. It continued production until 1967.
Do you carry kits for 54 cadillac
I have an 1953 Oldsmobile Hydramatic to rebuild, where can I get a complete rebuild kit? Your videos will come in usefull. Thanks for the upload
I can supply this Tel 0034 609 502 932. Whats up Viber or leave message and I will telephone you back anywhere in the World.
Great video! Im hoping there will be a video showing the transmission going back together?
