Just found your new channel ❤❤❤ i was sooo disapointed when everything happened and you wernt going to be posting videos anymore, i have missed richard and his knowlage. Im so happy that you and miss teresa have started your own channel. 🥳🥳🥳🥳
Double stack that detent if you want to bounce around at the river or if you just wanna make damn sure it stays in park if you live in a van down by the river......
I really glad I found your channel.. I have a 4l60e on a 2002 Tahoe 4x4 thAt has the loudest whine. No grinding or slippage The only problem is the loud whining noise. Hoping your videos will help me with the cause and fix
I have built 4 different transmissions to ur specs n they all turned out perfect. Minus a 48re I built perfectly but couldn't figure out why it didn't move at all. After pulling it n looking at it again we put it back in and same thing. Big dummies we had the transfer case in neutral 😂😂😅
Richard and Teresa, I’m so glad I found you again. I wondered why I wasn’t getting any updates on precision transmission. You actually taught me how to rebuild my 700R4 on my 87 Corvette. I watched your video and played it from start to finish. It’s been running great for two years so far. Thank you so much for the wonderful content and I’m so glad that I found your new channel again. I must’ve missed the change but I looked you up on a forum and found out your new channel. God bless you and your family.
Good morning! Would it be possible to get some videos of reassembly? The tear down is always interesting but watching a skilled craftsman put one back together is just as interesting plus getting to see all the tips and tricks to upgrade and improve actually implemented would be great!
Gotta love the dogs. One starts and the others follow. I have one that will be DEAD ASLEEP...the other will lay by a window guarding the house (anything in sight distance is to be protected at ALL COSTS), and if she growls the other is INSTANTLY awake and on IMMEDIATE BARK duty...and he's a big boy so he's got that REALLY loud bark. UGH. Love them, but wow...somebody walking 3 blocks away and they have to make sure EVERYBODY knows it. LOL. Neither of mine are shop dogs. I've tried, and tried, but they refuse to come down to my basement shop with me, even if I'm not making noise and just doing some design work, or cleanup work. :( Good stuff here Richard!
You guys should bottle up the old fluid in small vials. That way, you get the different smells and sell them to everyone so you kind of create smellavision and we'll know the different levels of burnt up transmissions 😂
Richard you ever see a 4L60E have 3rd gear and will shift into 4th but after 1 second goes back into 3rd gear and the transmission thinks it’s in 4th gear with the converter locked?
Richard have you ever watched YepThatsIt ? Does a tear down of an old Roto Hydramatic. Goofy looking trans from the early 1960's. You ever seen anything like it?
I was so happy to find this channel. N so glad ur back. I have looked multiple times at ur last channel to make sure I just wasn't getting notified by TH-cam and was always upset to see you not posting. Keep teaching Richard. Thanks to both of you. N Annie
Richard, you did not mention heating the front drive slip shaft. Would it hurt it? I would guess with all that grease it would get hot and help push the shaft apart. Just wondering why no heat?
The story about the nice shiny transmission reminds me of the scene in Tommy boy with Chris Farley. Customer : But why do they put a guarantee on the box? Tommy : Because they know all they sold ya was a guaranteed piece of shit.
omfg it took me so long to find you rich ive been watching your videos for years ill let all my people know your back on youtube thank god!!!!!! i love your videos
Hi Richard, if you don't mind since you didn't show us how the brown lube seal mates with the output shaft can you do a short video about the differences between the white and brown lube seal along with the changes to the output shaft lube hole and the interchangeability of these parts.
Hi Richard. Love the show you and your wife (and the dogs) put together for our education and enjoyment. Quick question: I have a 2015 Kia Sorento and want to a trans flush but I'm told that the filter is not accessible. Does it make sense to put new oil in when the filtre is full of dirty oil?
I'm so glad you and Theresa are back on TH-cam as well as doing great with y'alls new shop. When one door closes, another opens. For a few years now, your videos have provided vital education and information to thousands of viewers!! I've been an ASE Master Tech for over 25 years and I learn something new with every video...namely that I'm positive that I'll save the transmission work for pros like you. Are the two of you still in the Amarillo area? I live in Northeast Louisiana, but decided over two years ago that when my personal transmissions needed rebuilding and upgrading, I'm going to make that drive. I've been utterly impressed with your professionalism, vast knowledge, and dedication. So, it won't be long before my F150 and me come to see y'all!! I greatly look forward to it!! Keep up the great work!!!
Thank you. I do enjoy your down to earth videos. I have watched a lot of tear downs. Do you video the rebuild part? I have not come across them if you do. Would love to see one of those (or two, three…..lol).
Hi Richard I have a 91 Chevy k1500 manual transmission does the transfer case have the same setup as the seal between the transfer and transmission seems like I've been having to much oil in my transmission when I serviced it please reply if possible and let me know
"Too bad we don't have smellavision"... No, everyone would tune out Teresa, because that acidic stench is too nasty sometimes . I used to smell that smell fairly often years ago . lol The first thing I do when I pull a dip stick is smell the oil . Perfect tell of if the trans needs to be rebuilt . I had to just change fluid and filter many times after a really bad smell and black fluid . Sure never works long though . lol You can tell some people anything trying to help them and they'll just ignore you, but the inevitable happens huh ?... Sometimes they just learn the inconvenient and expensive way . :( Another great video you two . :)
This Summer I pulled the pan on my 1993, C1500, 5.7l, 236k miles, 4L60E transmission due to the main electrical connector losing its five retaining clip fingers. The connector was slipping ever further into the transmission and causing intermittent power drop-out issues. Let me tell you, tracing the issue down took a lot of time and effort since it originally felt like an engine ignition hiccup. Anywho, I replaced the internal wiring harness. And while in there, I installed all new solenoids. The 1-2 accumulator piston and housing were beyond sloppy. I replaced both. The new housing was a GM part off Amazon and the piston was a pinless Sonnax example. I kept the spring at the stock configuration. The new housing and piston really firmed up the 1-2 shifting noticeably. The forward piston also got the pinless Sonnax upgrade. Some of the other Sonnax goodies installed on this quickie in & out? The aluminum snout for the TCC lock-up solenoid. Careful however, I had to massage the snout mounting boss with a 12" disc sander because it was too wide for the Rostra wiring harness TCC solenoid. The mounting tab recesses in the snout also had to be hand-carved with a Demel. If duplicating, check with Sonnax to make sure the aluminum snout matches up with the electrical harness you're planning to use. I do believe Sonnax now owns Rostra... And another Sonnax goodie installed? I put in their little metal tab to keep the electrical connector from ever migrating into the case again. Even if all the retaining fingers break off, the metal table mounted to one of the 1-2 accumulator housing bolts will keep that connector plug firmly anchored in-place.
HOT DAM! I thought you were gone for ever.. I started to watch all the old video's and then in my recommendations this channel pulled up.. I had to watch it from the beginning to catch up.. at 71 I no longer can bend wrenches but it is real nice to be able to at least watch a good mechanic do it for me... Thanks guys for not giving up on us Hoe fun.. glad to see you survived the shoulder.. Carry on my friends
Thank you for providing these videos for everyone who's interested in in-depth look at the internals of how transmissions work and what to look for when they don't.
Hey Richard, so glad to find your channel again! Quick question, I have a FMX transmission out of a 1979 Mercury Cougar. Would you be willing to rebuild it for me?
Just found your new channel ❤❤❤ i was sooo disapointed when everything happened and you wernt going to be posting videos anymore, i have missed richard and his knowlage. Im so happy that you and miss teresa have started your own channel. 🥳🥳🥳🥳
I love that you give a history of the transmission and changes made throughout the years-we want to know everything you know-if that’s possible
I absolutely love what I do. I never feel like it’s work. It’s so very rare to see someone else’s love of what they do.
Double stack that detent if you want to bounce around at the river or if you just wanna make damn sure it stays in park if you live in a van down by the river......
I really glad I found your channel.. I have a 4l60e on a 2002 Tahoe 4x4 thAt has the loudest whine. No grinding or slippage The only problem is the loud whining noise.
Hoping your videos will help me with the cause and fix
Pull it.
Always great info
Love your videos. Thanks.
Doggies!!
Wore plumb out.
3 dogs? Instant like.
Own a transmission shop and complain about the smell? Smells like hundred dollar bills to me.
I have built 4 different transmissions to ur specs n they all turned out perfect. Minus a 48re I built perfectly but couldn't figure out why it didn't move at all. After pulling it n looking at it again we put it back in and same thing. Big dummies we had the transfer case in neutral 😂😂😅
Just found your new channel. Really missed you guys. Congrats on starting up again.
I have to change one at work next month. Cooler lines blew , they kept driving. 3/4 clutch was in the pan
Really missed your content!
A lot harder workin with 3 babies around then the one lol Good dogs though. See you guys at the wedding 💒
Our dogs started barking when Richard was pulling the bolts out of the valve body too!
What is the maximum temperature should the trans operate
Richard and Teresa, I’m so glad I found you again. I wondered why I wasn’t getting any updates on precision transmission. You actually taught me how to rebuild my 700R4 on my 87 Corvette.

The smell of burnt ATF, the smell of money
More videos-let’s go!!!
oh my i so enjoy watching you guys. i own a truck shop in pampa....been here 34 yrs
Best transmission man I've ever seen !
Good morning! Would it be possible to get some videos of reassembly? The tear down is always interesting but watching a skilled craftsman put one back together is just as interesting plus getting to see all the tips and tricks to upgrade and improve actually implemented would be great!
It's nice to see you guys back. Missed you.
That truck is IFS, so it really doesn't need a slip yoke considering the front diff is bolted to chassis.
I lost you. Good to have you back.
Do you do videos of you putting them back together?
Don't you guys say it smells pretty loud?
Is there anyway to get a quote on a rebuild/upgrade for my transmission??
Can you build a 60L80E I've been searching for your location....
Do you use the sonnax smart shell on all 4l60 rebuilds?
Wow have been looking for your new channel for MONTHS literally. So happy I finally found it. Content is second to none.
Gotta love the dogs. One starts and the others follow. I have one that will be DEAD ASLEEP...the other will lay by a window guarding the house (anything in sight distance is to be protected at ALL COSTS), and if she growls the other is INSTANTLY awake and on IMMEDIATE BARK duty...and he's a big boy so he's got that REALLY loud bark.

Good stuff here Richard!
Hi Richard and Theresa, Hey Richard why aren't you using your squeegees today?? And do I want to limit the stroke of the 1-2 accumulator piston?😁😁😁😁😁
Hey Richard do all Cadillac escalades have 5 pinion planets
Supposed to have
Where would I get the 10 or 15 thousandth shims you talk about putting in the 4l60e in the back of the case under the bearing? Thank you
Which clutch do you prefer for the 3- 4 clutch in a 4l60e in a 4x4 pickup? Thank you.
Im glad you guys are still around! Was unaware of the channel change
Did you guys sell your other building? This is obviously a different shop.
What size check ball do you use to block the lockup valve?
You guys should bottle up the old fluid in small vials. That way, you get the different smells and sell them to everyone so you kind of create smellavision and we'll know the different levels of burnt up transmissions 😂
Richard you ever see a 4L60E have 3rd gear and will shift into 4th but after 1 second goes back into 3rd gear and the transmission thinks it’s in 4th gear with the converter locked?
Richard have you ever watched YepThatsIt ? Does a tear down of an old Roto Hydramatic. Goofy looking trans from the early 1960's. You ever seen anything like it?
This man has forgotten more about transmissions than many people kmow about them. Awesome work
Hey richard my 6l80e is starting to have problems, 2015 Silverado at 120k , how do i get in contact with you about a rebuild?
I was so happy to find this channel. N so glad ur back. I have looked multiple times at ur last channel to make sure I just wasn't getting notified by TH-cam and was always upset to see you not posting. Keep teaching Richard. Thanks to both of you. N Annie
I need a 4L60E/4wd fixed if I pull it off & drive up to you how long would it take, I'm coming out of Bryan, Tx.
Richard, you did not mention heating the front drive slip shaft. Would it hurt it? I would guess with all that grease it would get hot and help push the shaft apart. Just wondering why no heat?
Possibly going to be some heat right now I am soaking it in a carburetor vat to try to loosen it up
The story about the nice shiny transmission reminds me of the scene in Tommy boy with Chris Farley. Customer : But why do they put a guarantee on the box? Tommy : Because they know all they sold ya was a guaranteed piece of shit.
omfg it took me so long to find you rich ive been watching your videos for years ill let all my people know your back on youtube thank god!!!!!! i love your videos
36:37 can a 700r4 with a White lube seal use a BROWN ,newer version, seal ??
good to see ya in action. would be nice to watch a build-up too
Only just discovered the new channel - and really happy to see you are back on youtube.
Congratulations on the new shop, it looks great!
Hi Richard, if you don't mind since you didn't show us how the brown lube seal mates with the output shaft can you do a short video about the differences between the white and brown lube seal along with the changes to the output shaft lube hole and the interchangeability of these parts.
Thank you for noticing that and yes I will do a short video on that
Hi Richard. Love the show you and your wife (and the dogs) put together for our education and enjoyment. Quick question: I have a 2015 Kia Sorento and want to a trans flush but I'm told that the filter is not accessible. Does it make sense to put new oil in when the filtre is full of dirty oil?
Unfortunately, you have no choice we do not recommend flush jobs This one here would be a drain and fill.
Thanks for getting back to me. $300.00 Canadian seems a bit steep for a drain and fill. Yikes@@richardteresacricheducatio3542
Richard do you guys still have the same numbers? My calls womt go thru and i cant seem to find the location... pls lmk i need to talk tp you asap
I'm so glad you and Theresa are back on TH-cam as well as doing great with y'alls new shop. When one door closes, another opens.

probably smells better than the dead people that were on that table LOL 🙂
i am so glad to see you guys back
Where is your son does he work for you?
Looks like no.
Thank you. I do enjoy your down to earth videos.
I have watched a lot of tear downs. Do you video the rebuild part? I have not come across them if you do. Would love to see one of those (or two, three…..lol).
Hi Richard I have a 91 Chevy k1500 manual transmission does the transfer case have the same setup as the seal between the transfer and transmission seems like I've been having to much oil in my transmission when I serviced it please reply if possible and let me know
Could be it's getting by an O ring like the one Richard showed.
What happened to your son Trent.
He's off doing his on thing!
Did you change your shop name? When i google precision transmission, it says permanently closed.
Well good morning Richard Teresa and Annie and the other rascals LOL😂
Hello Richard, great videos. Question, does the fluid in the converter get circulated by the pump or does it get circulated at all?
The front drive shaft slip yoke doesn't really move since the front axle is fixed. That's why they get stuck in one spot.
"Too bad we don't have smellavision"... No, everyone would tune out Teresa, because that acidic stench is too nasty sometimes . I used to smell that smell fairly often years ago . lol The first thing I do when I pull a dip stick is smell the oil . Perfect tell of if the trans needs to be rebuilt . I had to just change fluid and filter many times after a really bad smell and black fluid . Sure never works long though . lol You can tell some people anything trying to help them and they'll just ignore you, but the inevitable happens huh ?... Sometimes they just learn the inconvenient and expensive way . :( Another great video you two . :)
love your videos!
I have a question. What 4l60e years work with 1997 C1500 5.7L vortec powered!
I always press like,before I watch, quality is second to none. I’d like to have a go at dismantling a460E . Take care Happy wedding!!! Xx
Happy Days ! My favorite Texas Transmission specialists ! The power of Prayer works by golly. Made my week. Look forward to more. 😊

Thanks for sharing your videos Richard.looking forward to watching next video 👍
Thanks for the video,congrats on the wedding,hope you all enjoy the occasion,and everyone’s very happy.
Ummm I finally found you again 😊 idk what happen but just glad to watch you again
I'm currently taking automotive classes in automatic transmissions and have found your videos to be extremely informative
Air impact sounds really healthy, what PSI is your shop air?
Thank you for providing these videos for everyone who's interested in in-depth look at the internals of how transmissions work and what to look for when they don't.
Hey Richard, so glad to find your channel again! Quick question, I have a FMX transmission out of a 1979 Mercury Cougar. Would you be willing to rebuild it for me?
great video, thanks! imaging the team who designed seeing later on that a popular modification is to lock out their valve design
