will the steps be about the same for the 2015-2017 models?
What are those jack stands called, do you have a link to buy them.
top speed run?
What do you use ATF for a manual box?
@@jevaissterling5749 the sticker on the gearbox says use ATF fluid at 16:08
this dude literally got video footage of every single step, mad respect, thats a lot of work. i just love a good instructional video
it really is - don't recommend it. and thank you 🙏
@@Four_Eyes probably why so many "how-to's" skip so much of the actual "how-to". Quality work
@@Four_Eyes worth the effort mate, banging job
Suggestion for next video: How to have a spotless garage, spotless engine bay, and spotless parts.👍
The lighting during the under car steps shows that he cares
No intro, no claim, no sponsor, no recap, no intermission, NO FLUFF. Love it, keep it up.
All the work that requires he should get money so he needs a sponsor
I don't even have a Mustang and I still watched the entire video because of how well done the filming and editing is. This is the gold standard for how-to videos!
I felt the same way!!! Haha awsome!
yep same here
Same
4 eyes literally never disappoints. This will go down as one of the most impressive true 3v builds
Literally the best, most informative build series I've been able to find yet, that's still easy understand! Keep up the good work!
much appreciated justin 🙏
Hogwash. The best, strongest and toughest manual transmissions are, in no particular order
Ford Top Loader
Chrysler A-833
GM Muncie rock crusher.
PERIOD
This is my 50th year in automotive repair including transmissions....I know what Im talking about.
@@donreinke5863 huh?
@@MrM3dic Duh?
@@donreinke5863 4 gears is too little IMO. I would need minimum 5, but 6 is way better because the gear rations are very close and you get very consistent nearly identical RPM drops in every gear change.
This is the perfect install video. I don't have a Mustang and I enjoyed every second of it
Thanks man. Always appreciate you taking time to watch.
Hey greg, i bought an nb yesterday!
@@noncog1 🎉 heck yeah!!
@@Four_Eyes назови пожалуйста модель и марку этой коробки. Спасибо
These videos are insane, the amount of work that you must put into filming is incredible. I would be pumped to just successfully swap a transmission at all. Let alone film it, edit it, and MAKE IT LOOK EASY! Absolute legend
yeah ngl, it sucked. but thank you 🙏
@@Four_Eyes it will be well worth it in the long run.
@@Four_Eyes ive tried filming my work. dude, fuck that. i hope you make bank off these videos the effor you put in is unreal.
This was the most amazingly narrated, comprehensive, and well-shot how-to video I have ever seen. No music, no BS. Just a dude, some tools and his car. I don’t even own a Mustang nor do I ever search changing out a transmission. Thank for this, TH-cam algorithm.
I don't have a car with a manual transmission (yet), but here I am, watching another car video at 8 in the morning. This is one of the best instructional videos that I have ever seen. Big ups.
Lowkey this is the kind of content that makes somebody more comfortable with working on a vehicle, at any capacity.
Absolutely fantastic video... the tons of work you must have done planning, capturing, and editing are all evident here. I also really appreciate how you do this with handtools and a QJ. As a fellow "driveways and jackstands" guy, this is underrepresented in today's youtuber's who all have shops and lifts and sponsors. Finally, as an S550 guy, this is an awesome blueprint should I ever need it to swap out my MT82.
Bravo!
thank you v much johnny 🙏
If all car videos could be this detailed and clear the world would be a better place!
I've watched hundreds of hours of vehicle and racing content. And I've even installed one of those in a Supra. This is HANDS DOWN the best step by step, with nothing left out, installation video I've ever seen. New sub!
Production quality on these videos are insane
This channel is freaking incredible, I can’t get enough. The attention to detail is unmatched
Word of advice from a mechanic, ALWAYS replace the rear main seal, regardless of kms on it, and where possible, with an OEM one, and lube it with engine oil.
Very good video, welldone.
This is by far the best instructional video out there. Socket sizes, torque spec, step by step in a logical way with great lighting. Keep it up dude!
I neither have a Mustang, nor the means to DIY a transmission swap. But for gearheads, this is almost like an ASMR video. I watched the entire clip and was in awe! Top stuff! thank you kind sir!
The legend returns with another update in the best s197 build series on TH-cam!
Algorithm brought me here, within the first 3 minutes I already knew the video was going to be good. Straight and to the point, no fluff. Some may criticize it for not being "entertaining" but keep up your unique style, there are plenty of other fluff videos on the internet.
Is this finally a mustang video I miss these 👏🏽👏🏽
8:08 This level of videography and editing deserves a shout-out. It took him a minimum of several minutes to set up just that one shot, all to add a bit more clarity and save us a few seconds of viewing time.
BTW, I'm not trying to shame creators who don't have the time to do stuff like this. Most of you don't make money doing videos, so you don't need to apologize for saving your time. I just want to give a salute to mechanic filmmakers like Hagerty, Jafromobile, Donut, this guy, and others when they go the extra mile (kilometer... Kessel run... whatever) as a filmmaker. To me it's as beautiful as the cars.
I've never even seen a Mustang up close so I have no idea why I'm watching this, but damn they look pretty easy to work on compared to other modern cars. Seems as simple as my Miata, kudos to the engineers. Edit: except the tuning the torque management part, that pretty alien to me.
You make the best videos , best descriptions , best instructions , best editing skipping fast forwarding , no bad music , no boring talk , no repeating yourself , you should make more videos on other interesting subjects .
much appreciate your comment, thanks samual 🙏
The best informative build video I ever watched, I didn't even notice that it was 20mins long, loved every part of it.
This guy is so good at explaining stuff, I was halfway through the video untill I realised I don’t even own a Mustang.
You’ve done it again four eyes😎 I don’t even own a 3V and I’m addicted to this quality content👍 Keep doin your thing!
I don’t understand how you only have 60k subs you need more. Very informative and well put video. Absolutely love you’re channel !!!
These videos are awesome. I've been building my s197 for about 6 years now. It's come a long ways. These videos have helped me out alot! Keep up the good work. Always look forward to you posting about your mustang.
glad to be helpful and thank you for watching
The level of craftmanship & ingenuity combined with high-quality video content is beyond reproach!!!
This is the most straight forward, well shot, no bullshit transmission swap video. Great job!
thanks man 🙏
I got that second hand satisfaction when i saw all the new parts together finally installed, nothing beats that feeling.
I did this swap on my Supra and have to say, MAD respect for being able to film the entire process. Holy crap that must have been a ton of work. Great Video! Also, I was able to stack my Quickjack rubber blocks to get enough clearance to slide the T-56 with a transmission jack under the car easily. It was initially too low to put both blocks at the same time, so I lifted the car up, put rhino ramps under all 4 wheels, lowered it added the extra blocks. It's really stable and saves you tons more clearance.
I have never seen such a comprehensive and easy to follow guide for working on a car, don’t even own a mustang and I watched it all the way through just because it was so good
Finally more videos of the mustang 3V!!!
Jesus the amount of work you put into this video. Huge respect.
thanks man
Hell yeah man! Ive always wanted to do this with my 05. Looks like it was well worth it! Great tutorial on the install too, you deserve way more credit for the quality of your videos .
much appreciated brother
lmfao your youtube short 🤣
I'm amazed at how thorough you were with everything. Great lighting, camerawork and voiceover too. This is the pinnacle of automotive DIY videos.
Even though I have no plans in the immediate future of doing a T56 swap or use it in anything, but it's nice to see a step by step in how to do this! Not many people would actually document let alone film it and do it with the torque specs and procedures.
Well. This was the absolute best instructional video in the realm of mechanics I've ever watched. Respect brudda
I wish that'd upload more often, but on the other hand I'm glad that you always deliver awesome content and your videos are very well edited
I don’t have a Mustang but that was the easiest watch ever. I can’t imagine how much time went into filming, wrenching and editing. Bravo, sir.
Good choice going with the 2.66 first gear option, a lot of people get stuck on the numerically higher gears and wind up putting down too much power with too high first and differential gear, basically makes first gear totally worthless.
Doesn't help that OEMs have done the opposite, they have a high final drive and first gear is low as hell, 4x or better.
Looking forward to your projects.
I like my 5.61 🤷♂️
But then I've got 3.07 axles (which will change soon
Hugely underrated channel. This guy knows his stuff and presents it in a fantastic way.
Great meeting you! You gotta post more!
literally did a double take when i saw this comment
coming to make bad financial decisions i see
I don't have a Mustang or a Tremec T56 and yet I watched this video beginning to end. Amazing guide!
Babe wake up, Four eyes just posted
Best “how to” I have ever seen. I love how you showed the smallest details, like the clip on the lines.
Great tutorial man. A lot of tutorials touch on the important information but would leave out a lot of the little things a beginner would question. You touched on everything...some might suggest using medium locktite on a lot of the hardware to be sure it doesn't vibrate loose. This is a tutorial done the right way.
I’m installing a T56 onto an LS3 and couldn’t find any documentation. I’m a layman and this video is exactly what I needed and contained more info than I could have imagined while being concise and to the point. I can complete the job tonight now. Cheers man!!! Subbed.
You make a daunting task seem doable. Glad to see you're still working on your s197!
Thanks Mike 🙏
Wow, wow, wow! Like everyone says, this is one of the best informative build series, period. Your work to make these videos put together must be phenominal! Keep going, you're the best, really appreciated. THANK YOU!!!
thank you very much 🙏
As always, some of the BEST automotive content on TH-cam. The production quality is insanity. What camera do you use? This inspires me to kick my butt into gear and upgrade my content - big time.
Dam this dude has the perfect work place for his cars no mess no dirt no heat.......... mad respect
Great video. Cinematography and commentary were on point. Can’t wait to see what it’s like with a turbo!
thank you and me too!
Best transmission install video i have seen with basically a floor jack. Crazy how everything was so clean, like from start to finish your hands were clean the whole time 😂
Hey it's Dugger, this was an amazing step by step installation. I get impressed more and more with every video on the Mustang. Every single video you upload is spot-the-fuck-on! I just recently sold my red 06 GT and bought a sterling gray 13 GT, but I still am just as, and now even more excited to see the turbo kit installation and test drive. I absolutely dig everything about your Mustang build and progress. And I will be here til the end. You are the absolute best at doing these vids on the S197 '05-'09 Mustang platform, hands down. Now to my question that's been making me nuts for a CPL years now eheheheheh, will you be putting the car up for sale for more funding for your other projects? Don't yell at me lol, because I know you will have completed the ultimate mustang gt and will probably be keeping this amazing trophy car. But I just had to ask ok? And if so I'm first at the car!!!! Anyway lol, KUDOS brother mustang lover, you are doing great things. Keep the vids coming!!!!
This dude deserves a medal for this video. Incredible job man!
You deserve more credit for this video. Haven’t really decided what I want to do yet. I have a 06 gt with a procharger so I was thinking of just doing the engine and trans together so getting an 8 bolt crank and then doing a 6060 but if I do it separately and do the engine first but still want to use the stock trans for a bit then I can just do a t56 swap when needed. Thanks for the info!!
Honestly the editing was spot on, I came to find out which transmission, stayed for the solid explanation.
Bro you did this on the floor with a cheap trans jack! That a boy!
Best transmission swap i've seen on youtube so far. Was well worth it to see the pony handle RPM's above 7000 at the end!
I bet it makes it feel like a whole new car! I definitely feel like the tr3650 is one of the biggest downfalls of the 3v’s
How so? It’s a great shiftings trans. Holds decent power. No small inexpensive trans will last with sticky tires and a heavy clutch.
@@TanCalHan The gear ratios suck lol
insane quality videos man, really hoping you blow within a few months. you deserve it.
Wow! Thanks for making such a clear and precise how-to!
thanks for watching!
Wow, having watched so many car videos. The lighting and camera angles of this video are a herculean effort. Wonderfully done sir!
Glad to know the mustang still going strong 👍🏻👍🏻
I don't own this car, or transmission, nor do I have any plans to. Yet, for some reason I watched your video. I have to say, you did a brilliant job. Zero BS, 100 percent relevant, well explained and illustrated information.
Now I know how to swapa t56 into a mustang.
That 3 valve shifting at 7k is just incredible to hear.
I am an automotive engineer student and this is so much help for my studies please don't stop 😂
In my automotive class, they show videos and explain everything so difficult but this I understand perfectly and it was fun to watch
You provided the best angled footage with the best information in the most straight forward way. In a short clip.
My clutch went out in my 3 valve, I followed your video step by step. Your video really helped.
Without a doubt, one of the best instructional videos out there. Well done !
Excellent video. The fact that you did it on the floor is incredible. Had to replace my clutch but ended up piercing the exhaust system harness against the bell housing causing the oxygen sensor fuses to blow and cause a check engine light. Going to do it on the floor since I no longer have access to a lift
This was incredible. Watched the whole thing, and I don't have a mustang and never plan to do a transmission swap. The lighting was so damn good. I could see everything the whole time. Respect
And how about those rapid fire torque edits! Very satisfying.
thank you hasan 🙏
This is so inspiring bro you dont even understand. The S197s are thanking your for this content❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Okay, this has no right being this informative, I don't think I've seen car videos this far in depth on just a transmission before
Theres something so wholesome about finally getting a gearbox that you know will handle the abuse, best purchase I ever made was a 6 speed dccd swap for my subaru!
Your videos are made with so much care and quality. Thank you for sharing!
thanks for watching josh!
I legit have no idea why I clicked on this but I could not stop watching it until the end. Damn good job. I own a 4runner just to give you some insight to how little this has relation to me
I have been a fan of your '07 Mustang GT build since the begining. Your series rocks, period. Bravo !!!
thank you lincoln!
I dont even own a Mustang or any muscle car but I watched the whole video. Great work and great video. Just to the point while explaining every little detail.
One of the best mustang videos ever made. Oscar winning.😁
I just got done doing this on my 2010 GT. I had to watch several other videos that were not nearly as helpful, and of course as soon as I get it finished you drop this absolute banger. You are the man for making this video. It would have helped me so much 2 weeks ago LMAO. I did this the exact same as you, except it looks like you got your car just a little higher than I could manage. I also did not change the trans, only the clutch. It took me so long to get the bell housing bolts off, probably because they haven't been removed for 13 years. Also getting the trans off the engine was nearly impossible. I gave up several times, but I eventually managed to kick its ass hard enough that it just gave up and released. The whole process was a real struggle for me, and I am just happy that it's over. No issues so far, so I think I got everything right. The point is, I feel your pain. This shit sucks without a lift. You're a demon for doing this under the car. Thank you so much for this informative, concise guide.
I don't own a mustang. I probably never will, but i watched this entire video mesmerized. thanks!
That was absolutely fantastic. Best transmission install video on TH-cam.
The rapid-fire torque wrench clicks are so satisfying 😂 great video man
I have a 67 mustang. Currently has no gearbox. Looking at purchasing the t56 magnum. This video was very useful and makes me confident that it is the right choice
It's a fantastic transmission
Aw man one of the best videos I’ve seen
I absolutely love your gear shifting in the end. It almost felt like flat foot shifting.
I have the confidence to do this job and I don't even own a mustang lol. Extremely entertaining and well put together informative video. Well done.
WOW, best instructional video I think I’ve ever watched. The video quality was amazing. I watched the whole video and I don’t even own a Mustang!
Four Eyes, your videos never disappoint. Informative and entertaining!
Oneod the best "How to" videos I've ever seen. Well done!
The quality of your videos is absolutely top-notch. You are a gift to TH-cam. Moar Viparrrr
No interest in installing a transmission but I watched this entire thing due to the absolute knowledge you have, will watch the rest of this build!
Man this is going to help a lot in the future. I wish we had video's like this at school. Great quality man! You never disappoint!
mr four eyes, you've missed your calling...what a great video on so many levels...nicely done.
