When is Edd going to get his own show? I like Mike Brewer perfectly fine, but this Ant character is not Edd. We need Edd. We need Edd! Let's all chant; WE NEED EDD! WE NEED EDD....!
Don’t really like to criticize Edd too much ‘cause he’s one of the best. Nonetheless the torque converter was still full of a significant amount of the burnt fluid. Should have been some comment on that...can it be drained? Some older torque converters had drain plugs. Also, the fluid was probably burnt due to slippage of the bands and clutches. Replacing clutches means a tear down but it’s quite possible that the bands could have been adjusted with the sump off...worth a try and comment.
Henry B I commented on the fluid remaining in TC because the webpage said they flushed the unit but made no mention of the TC. I’m no auto box expert but I have built a few. Your comment on the clutches is incorrect, there are clutch friction plates and they do transmit the torque. It is only in the TC where the fluid actually transmits the torque. The fluid in the TC is pumped from the same reservoir sump as all the rest so if it has been degraded through heat it is going to dilute the fresh stuff put in. Clearly your recommendation to not flush the auto box should be directed at Edd, and not me, since that is what the episode was about. And I would suggest that if you make a statement like that you should give some clear reasons why.
There's nothing wrong with doing a fluid exchange-even on an old transmission. This can be done by just allowing the transmission (or a machine) to pump the fluid out as you replace it with new. If you don't have a machine, you can just disconnect a cooler line and let the fluid run into a pan as you top it off-stopping once the fluid coming out looks new or you've added the total capacity. Power flushes or aggressive flushing chemicals can dislodge gunk or debris and cause old, tired seals to leak-which can be problematic on older transmissions. I know some people that don't do fluid flushes but they'll do a couple of drain and refills over a short period to try to get out most of the old fluid-since a pan service only gets about half the total fluid. ATF has dispersant properties, so introducing new fluid is going to cause some cleaning effect. If a transmission service causes your transmission to die, it wasn't long for the world anyway.
Generally people do a spill and fill instead of the entire oil volume (in fact this usually replaces only a fraction of the total fluid volume.) Many manufacturers recommend this approach and, as long as it's done regularly, there shouldn't be an issue. As for if flushing a transmission would cause damage I would say only if it's on its last legs. Sometimes the clutch material in the fluid is all that's causing the clutches to engage so a fluid change causes it to slip. That said I wouldn't hesitate to do a filter or spill and fill on an older transmission as, on balance, the probability of extending its life is greater than the probability of ending it. 👍
@@mastersteel1079fratellone sto guardando il tuo programma, la grande Lende Rover il mitico v8 benzina grande... E grande mitico anche tu wwww un abbraccio❤️💪👍
I bought my nissan suv new.. at 76k miles i noticed a warm or hotter feeling from the plastic area below my auto shifter Checking the fluid it was engine color oil... Did the poorm mans flush no machine with about 12 quarts I have done that 5 times and i am at 295,000 miles original transmission !!!!!!!
Did you notice just before Ed's demise, Mike was filming at garage by himself? Cleaning seats, fixing headliner,sorting wheels. While Ed was at beach...lol
Hello there, I have a BMW E32 735i that originally uses a 4hp-22 gearbox, the 1st gearbox broke down and we replaced it with another 4h-22 of the same car, same spec. Now the second gearbox we put in was changing gears on its own, it would put itself on P,D or R, there was no way of driving it. So we diagnosed it and solved that situation, the car was running fine changing smoothly, then it suddenly didn't want to change anymore, now it's only driving on 1st gear n won't shift upwards.... Do you know might me wrong, please help?
@@groovejet33 I remember reading somewhere that Edd said he left because he didn't like the direction the US producers were taking the show, with lesss emphasis on actual car repair and more on the whole flipping angle. Typical American remake BS, they miss the entire point of what makes a show successful.
@@kenon6968 On the show you can pick up on summit happening. Mike rocks up to garage a few times and Ed's not there. They make a scene of it, and Mike does some real graft. Ed turns up and pulls a few faces. Also Ed's whole attitude is not happy. Like when Mike turns up with a car. Ed" s not happy 🤣
@@groovejet33 Kind of deep-dived Edd's channel yesterday, in one of his clips he kind of hints at it being an unequal partnership moneywise...ego probably got in the way of things on boths sides.
Anyone else screaming at the screen ... Jack the chassis rails apart. Only changed half the oil and that box needed flushing but didn't get it, just a filter. Back street garage job.
the glory days of wheeler dealers! I miss Ed; he was a true gentleman!

Edd china go home loser
Everyone’s putting shit on Ant, but honestly he’s a pretty good technician.
Edd chose to leave the show so ask him!
He honestly needs to do something with James May. Hell, why hasn't Drivetribe hired him?
Wim Spreeuwenberg Why is he a loser?
Edd China is a Mechanical Gangster.
I miss him on Wheeler Dealers.

You still have to understand it's a tv programme 🤷♂️
The dipstick has a way of turning vertically down into the pan? That would have been nice to show.
Hello Edd the king of engineering,Great video
Il mitico EDD è anche uno specialista degli oli ❤️💪
@@nicolafrancio1675 Ciao Nicola,ce adesso su motortrend😉😉
@@mastersteel1079 il programma di adesso? 💪💖
@@mastersteel1079 come si diverte il mitico Mike fallo andare piano e pazzo... Siete unici al modo.. 6 un meccanico numero uno... 💪💪👍👍👍

It’s nice to see a program where the steering wheel is on the wrong side 😉! Always enjoy your videos 😺.

So Young and Innocent ☺️ ..
The early years . 🚙
How can i find odd meter location in transmission
I want to see WD with more of these mechanics section, get Edd and Ant together, less Mike running around.

Ppl
Looking for the 2nd part of the freelander redo that you did......
need some goggles working under that beast Edd
Wait...Edd with short hair and no orange gloves?!
Very nice
"full service history" .... apart from the gearbox fluid
FSH means nothing! usually a top up of oil and I doubt they even bother changing the filter at a main dealer.....
It’s a landrover cause it leaks
Did that Range Rover come with 3 dead Essex gangsters in it?
😊😃
Probably not ,knowing little fatties bargaining skills ,but MINE DID . I would like to know his Range Rover spares supplier .DOES ANYONE KNOW .
Or a dead car dealer in the boot
This show needs a reconciliation between Mike and Ed
We're are your safety glasses ?
Range Rover running driving for 1600 Where are they getting these cars at these prices?!? Those things in similar shape run ten grando here.
Mikes fault Edd left.
Why? What did he really do?

Good China mechanic mam
You can’t smell sweetness..
