I followed one of Richard’s videos on a th350 full manual diy..and it didn’t work right until the 1-2 shift valve had a spring between the big valve and the aluminum sleeve..heads up. Upshfits great, downshifts had a tie up going into 1st gear from 2nd and 3rd
@@chrisharris525 can you explain that a little bit better? I’ve never had one not work out of 100 that I’ve done was the spring installed incorrectly. I’ve never seen a spring in between the big shift valve and aluminum sleeve, the spring always goes inside the aluminum sleeve
Your right Teresa, makin a full manual shift is a trick most guys no nothing about how easy it is. Lather rinse repeat,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
@13:34 You're saying "rewind, rewind..." Yes ma'am you are absolutely correct. I just got our T400 back from the shop... it goes in our '83 31ft Pace Arrow motorhome. Given our preferred RVing places are in the mountains, keeping it in a set gear has been something I've been looking for. You just told me in 30 seconds how to save several hundred dollars, considering the manual valve body I have been eyeballing. Now... would you guys PLEASE revisit the lock-up torque converter mod? I know Richard has mentioned it before, but it was in a racing application. I'm after a heavy duty (24,000 pounds- M.H. and 10k shop trailer) street stable system.

There is always something new to see and learn about on any transmission Richard disassembles. It amazes me how much knowledge Richard has gained over the years and adapting and learning about each new transmissions and their updates through so many iterations and different manufacturers.

40:16 that bearing you’re holding looks a a old Torrington Bearing. Back in the late 80’s the old Torrington plant in Clinton South Carolina made those bearings.
excellent video i have been watching for some time now and really have learned a lot over the years just watching youtube videos it’s really amazing so i thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience with the world as it’s not only interesting but also helpful because you can’t read experience from a book. anyway i have a question what is honestly to worst transmission you would tell someone to never use besides CVT most of us if not all know there no good also if you don’t already have a video on this transmission it would be cool if you have one come in to see your thoughts and it’s the 6 speed ford used from 2006 to 2010 v8 explores it’s my understanding that it is basically a jaguar zf transmission is there any truth to that
Richard and Teresa love the videos but have a question how many turns can you screw the modulator in safely? I have a 400 and shifts into third b4 I get thru the red-light. It works perfectly though as far as holding power If you manually upshift it. Thanks in advance
Once again you took apart a automatic transmission, You really should make a video on how to put the gut's back in a transmission and show how you would rebuild one , and the parts needed to do the rebuild.
Richard, I just refound you. Sorry it took so long. Do some build videos, and pass some of your knowledge on to the next generation. You're never going to run out of work! Best wishes.
I have a 400 in my '72 C1o behind a 402 big block. The shifter and linkage are so sloppy to where Reverse is hard to find. Is this a transmission issue or a linkage issue? Trans works fine other than that.
I have a 64 Buick with a Super Turbine 400 (ST400), everyone tells me it’s the exact same as the TH400, is that true? Are they like for like swappable?
Buick had switch pitch torque converters in some models. Extra wire in addition to kick down to activate I believe. Basic trans SHOULD swap as long as the bell housing pattern is the same. You lose the switch pitch if using a non-Buick trans.
What's your number richard off road truck and like to mess with the governor to get a better 23 shift out of it the 12 is pretty good buddy of mine's wife struck I built for down here in Florida
Is that the 2.2:1 ratio low gear Muncie? A friend owned a shop that imported American Muscle Cars back in the 90s and they offloaded a 69 Z28 Camaro from the Shipping Container and blasted down the road and did that thing whine like a bitch!

The venerable 409cid...! It is the ONLY engine to have a song about it...! I'm not sure what the songs actual name is, but "she's so fine my 409...!"
Watching from Saskatchewan been a big fan for many years now 👊
Hah! I'm not the only one!!
Would you ever consider doing build/assembly videos? I totally understand if you don't, but we sure would love to see them.
I really wish I had gotten my transmission rebuilt by you
So good to have found you folks again 👍 Subscribed

Best 400 video yet Rich, us old guys still like and use the venerable 400 when power to the ground is paramount, Thanks again.

Odd question, but as shiny new aluminum never stays that way.... any preferred prep/paints for such application?
I’m gonna have to buy that Richard back at ya t shirt
Thank you Richard and Teresa for all that you do to educate us. Kind regards and God bless you.

Me too
When I rebuild bruce jenners, they work 6 out of 10 times, everytime!
What, you expect the electric company to do anything on a real schedule?
Nope been there already
Have you ever done the Jaguar BW 65/66 trans? In my area No One will touch them.
Why electric off? Having some upgrades at the shop?
Rotten pole, he hadn't oiled it enough 😂
Could you video some buildups instead of tear downs only😊 31:28
Turn down the brightness just a tad -love y’all
Rewind rewind rewind, 😅😂😂 yes indeed
