I like the Rep from Tremec. He seems to be a true enthusiast and knows his stuff and he didn't try to shove some marketing bullshit on us. Great job guys.
Yeah, super knowledgeable guy. Always nice to have someone who knows their stuff. Even if he does kinda look like E.T. in profile.
Yep cool guy he was on Hot Rod Garage some time ago.
they could do a big chuck and little john skit...then get beat up by the real thing! lol but he does know his stuff and seems approachable
He also knew the proper pronunciation of Daimler. LOL.
Jay knew to tone down his schtick for this video. He seemed genuinely interested in the details.
OMG this guy really knows his stuff.
I'm pretty sure this is the best marketing guy to ever appear on JLG
“It’s sounds small...but, it’s big” truer words have not been spoken!
Kudos to Michigan's Tremec for sending a guy who knows the product inside-out. Too often I see sales/marketing guys on JLG who just repeat bland talking points, and don't know squat about the product. Great video!!
I learned a boatload from this video. Man, that guy can talk transmissions in a way that anyone can understand. Tremec needs to utilize Nate the most they can.
Smart down to earth bloke who seems to know his product.
Way to go Jay, your transmission is now paid in full.
Tremec has great representation for sure. Their marketing guy is first class. Definitely knows their product.
Glad you finally did a video with them Jay. You seem to love their products and they defiantly deserve the cred.
Wow, that is what I call a great great marketing director. Knows a ton of technical information and can explain it and get it across to potential customers extremely well.
Some of the best sponsored content I've seen on youtube! Informative, entertaining.
Thank you both Jay and Nate. I never realized how versatile Tremec transmissions are.
Very informative, and of course thumbs up for this video.
This is one of the few sponsored bits I have ever enjoyed watching. It seemed like the fellow really wanted to help enthusiasts, and not just push parts. Good on Tremec.
I have a tko 500 fitted in my 1982 SS Commodore (Australian GM) 308 cubic inch motor ... the tremec is fantastic ... love it!! Jay your the best .. cheers from down under
Thanks for this video Jay!
Nate from Tremec did a great job explaining the products. Very professional when mentioning competitors and customers.
Tremec is good stuff... enjoy the product review videos!
Thanks for the lesson. Very Interesting to know. Keep it coming Jay you are giving back in buckets. Thank you.
I built a 383 Stroker for my 57 Chevy and got a Tremec T56 Magnum 6 speed for it, Can't wait to put it all together!!!!!
Great stuff, more of these please!
This was perhaps my favorite guest on this channel. Actually worth listening to.
would have been nice to see inside at least one of the transmissions BUT I can't believe how mesmerized I got by this video couldn't stop watching and was able to visualize everything Nate talked about and even learned a some things
Love u Jay. Don't know why am saying that, but I love you and your passion to the cars. Great man.
Tremec rep was cool, knew his product inside and out, kinda a guy ready to jump under the car and help.
😂😂😂😂
Good education on the Tremec. Thanks Jay.
Thanks Jay, we love you , you ROCK!!!!! The BIG DOG.
very informative ,and the rep. guy knew his stuff! thanx Mr Leno Dano
I appreciate that Jay reinforced several times that we hot rodders are often on a low budget!
Just have to say the tremic 5 speed in my 02 GT Mustang was excellent!! I put intake/exhaust/larger injectors/ecu tuning/electric fuel pump/coil over kit and sticky rubber on it back in the day and the transmission held up very well under some hard driving. It came with a nice heavy clutch already. All I did was install a short throw shifter cause hitting third from 2nd was awful. But, I never had a problem with it ever !!
"They can speak English"
He's probably seen a lot of customer surveys where that issue is pressed.
+Maurice Searcy
Is that pic Rob Ford geeked out on pavlan...? That's awesome.
Mark McKenzie. No idea. RIP
+Maurice Searcy
He was a lot of fun. But I'm not Canadian Eh so may just be a different perspective.
He's trying to say their customer support isn't sent out too foreign countries like India or the Philippines like mostly all customer service/support
I built a 383 Stroker with 550 hp and a Tremec T56 Magnum 6 speed for it. Can't wait to put them together!!!!!!
That dude knows his stuff!
I've always been a HUGE fan of Jay "The Big Dog" since the 80's and 90's.
Thanks for the post.
Thanks Jay!
Happy Birthday Jay 🎉
Cool vid, nice to hear a guest know his stuff.
It's like my dad says, cheap aint good, and good aint cheap. That definitely applies here.
I put a tremec in everything I own. Even my lawnmower
+Nic Parker
But you don't know me, I'm very shifty. No pun intended.
Cringe.
so they DO fit in Honda's?! ;)
i had a knee injury... and no doctor could find a good result to make my leg work... then i had to get a wheelchair, since i was feeling fancy, i thought, well heck, lets get an Electric Wheelchair, and decided to put a tremec 5 speed in it... then one day, i was thinking... could this fit my knee.... so now i have a Tremec 5 Speed left leg...
You too!?
I love this channel.
That rep knows his stuff
Thanks for all this information, I'm doing a build up Jay you great
Great info Jay!
I too use Tremec in all my builds, I even put a high revving number in my wife's thrashed old vibrator. She's got smiles for miles now
I'm sold!
excellent video!!!
Excellent
I love tremecs
Jay Leno is like a friend to us companies. he should have like a convention or something with all these companies.
he could pull off some kind of event for such im sure... with a car show etc to go along with it.. im sure a few calls is all it would take and i bet it would be a hit. and could even become a yearly thing if jay wanted. probably more work than what he would want to do tho.
+Chris c he could find people to help with it. I'm high spectrum autism also build computers as a hobby fix tractors thingd around the house. i feel disrespected by company's like apple, Levis, RCA.move.overseas, say forieners are better workers collude with communists. i contacted lock and stick to tell them he promoted their product. they were the nicest people.
+Chris c my idea is to.make it a weekend event and a two hour tv segment called "Jay Lenos" swap meet". people who have custom home builds show their cars, maybe celebrities like Tim Allen. sell tickets for $20. with the sub theme American ingenuity and entrepnuership. us company's demo their products and maybe a few other company's that make stuff here like Gerber knives.
Great idea!
Great video!
I retrofitted one of those Tremec TR-3550 units in my 1963 Studebaker Avanti, and I did it primarily to have the benefit of the overdrive. I still have the original transmission, and it could go back into the car if ever needed. But the car sure is a whole lot nicer to drive now, especially on the interstate.
+Darren O'Conner We grew up with Studebakers (believe it or not). We had a '53 station wagon, a '64 Hawk (nice car), then my mom got hold of a Lark (not so nice). I don't remember what year, though. The Avanti was like THE dream car for Studie owners. I'm sure yours is as well.
Nate Tovey - the Tremec Marketing Director was impressive. I'm used to Jay exhibiting encyclopedic knowledge of all things automotive. But Nate stood toe to toe while being taped for a TH-cam channel. It speaks highly of the operation that Tremec is running.
Great quick explanation, a lot less of a sales spiel and more of a quick and dirty 'why this brand works'. Looking forward to more parts reviews.
Its hard to deny how different today's performance market would be without the Fox Mustang. So easy to build fast and plentiful, hard to deny that that energy and huge aftermarket helped make today's big 3 pony's possible.
Thanks Jay good info, as always. I hardly recognized you your hair is so neat! But the wardrobe gave you away. LOL
_"Back in the day"_ Jay's favorite line
Nice video Jay.
That dude knew his stuff.
Nice to see that...
Nice to see someone who really knows there product
Awesome transmissions.
I like Nate he seems to really know his stuff
I have the magnum in my Yugo because of the extra torque capacity.
get out
Thanks. that made me laugh
I HAD A GREAT DAY TODAY AT ROLEX MOTORSPORT REUNION IN MONTEREY, MET ALL THE FORD FAMILY AND AARON SHELBY, TOMORROW IM OFF TO THE PEBBLE BEACH CONCOURSE AND HOPE TO RUB ELBOWS WITH YOU JAY.
That's alot of cool knowledge makes me want to be a transmission expert.
Electronic & mechanical tachometer hook ups that's great. Mechanical really gives u that "feel" as if your one w the machine.
Iove my t56 that i just swapped in. They really did something right when they made the t56, and continued to perfect it in the magnum
Lifetime fluid means the lifetime of the warrantee.
Good discussion on transmission fluid changing. It's pretty easy, and for some new autos, there's no need to change the filter since it's just a wire screen for catching large debris, so easier than engine oil in that way, and harder since you may have to lift the entire car to access the drain.
Every automatic I've ever been in has a screen on the pickup AND a filter. Non-servicable transmissions are unacceptable, IMO.
+Maxwelhse I agree
AWSOME
I work in the truck industry in Europe and almost everything related to transmission is Zf stuff and yeah it's so a pain to work with them sometimes, I own a few Bmw with zf manual and autos transmissions, sometimes I'd rather have the rattle from the Getrag than the Zf shifter stucked in front of 5th or the fear of a blow clutch pack in the 4hp-22 after smog test..
They're 100% right. The biggest regret i had was not just buying a new transmission from tremec. I got some shitpile off of craigslist for $2200 and had to spend $1200 on top of that just to get it working right. When i could have just bought a brand new magnum for $3000.
Is that Loctite 518 for sealing the cases? That's really good stuff, I use it on my vintage bike cases.
God, it makes me think of the Jaguar. A 2000 XJ8. San Francisco hills. Something failed in it..a part that should have been metal to begin with. So, I get the rebuilt. Labor will get you. Rebuilt lasted me about two years. No, actually, only a few months. One section got a crack in it, and it turned out other Jags had the same problem with their rebuilts. So, that was covered, being under a year. It was interesting to look at the inside of the section that failed. It's like an ant farm for the way the walls were designed for fluid movement. So, I babied the repaired one. Then that transmission lasted me two years. Brutal. Had to give up the car.
Besides the adaptability, it would be wonderful to know the advantages of these over a stock manual transmission. Some have said you don't need to clutch these to shift.
I wonder, would Tremec Transmissions be good for MK2, MK3, MK4 Supra's? Specially the Turbo versions?
I've been seriously considering swapping a TKO 600 into my early Nova that currently has a 350TH in it. While the Bare Transmission is about $2450 from Summit Racing, the cost to do a complete conversion is in the neighborhood of $4500-$5000, depending upon what parts you use to complete the conversion...
Love my TR6060 in my ZL1!!
Jay on a mission about TREMEC Transmissions.
I'll never own a sports car, or a classic car... I'll never replace a tranny. I still watch these videos for some reason.
You are a person, like myself, who either loves the technical talk or loves the information in general.
A friend of yours might wanna build one as a project, and you will open your mouth with a silver tongue full of information.
Jay if its something you have to use a automatic in, what do you use? I lost my leg a couple years ago a can only drive automatics now.
The combed back look is new for Jay.
Hello Jay, I been for a long time a fan of your site, even if some times your comments are a bit to "american" for me but it's only natural, I never posted a comment before and this is only to ask if you now about a gentlemen named Vincenzo Marciano that build a car call Marciano 268A that is in the style of Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale or the Ferrari 250 LM. If you like cars that are a vision, a dream of a man that brings it to live bit by bit in decades you will like this, if you don't now about it already. Thank you for your videos, even with your :) "american point of view" :) they are some of the best you can find in the internet.
This what I like to see. A company representative who knows this products he selling not just reading off the brochure
My vette has the 6060 love that transmission
Love the show is there a 1440p quality in the works?
Is that jay’s actual garage. It’s really nice.
that t5 i tell had in my fox body stang and took a beating no issues
That 6-speed is YUGE! I bet when an LS is bolted to one it looks like a transmission with an engine hung off it.
They do. Plus they don't fit in anything without cutting the floor up.
3 days with a deadblow hammer to fit the T56 in my Datsun. But hey it fit .. Eventually. Sure as hell didn't break .
I put a magnum in my 98 Camaro when I put in the 416ci LS3. No modifications needed since D&D converted the tail housing before shipping it. Then again it had a T56 to start.
Shawn Dickens
T56 and Magnum are pretty much the same size. A 4 speed or T5 car has to be beaten into submission to fit a 6 speed.
I know, but he did say anything. It is a bit bigger.
JAY! How about a Q&A for your fans?
I love your Toyota 2000GTJay!!!!! Epic!!!!! Unique!!!!!! Iconic!!!!! $1,000,000.00-$2,000,000.00. Average going price for one. I love the classic, nostalgic, retro, vintage, historic, old cars for, well always have, but specially the last 10-15 years or more now. I've always loved new cars but the classics as well or even more so. I love ALL cars, old, new, domestics, imports, everything!! Since '74, specially since the 80's and 90's. I think Jay and I have similar taste in cars. We like cool and unique kinds of cars that most wouldn't consider and then we like other cars that most would consider. I think we see eye to eye on everything, specially on cars! If I had money like uncle Jay I would do the same. As a matter a fact when I get my money I will. Thanks "uncle" Jay. We appreciate you! Thanks for the Garage show. Please don't ever stop. Just keep on doing your show always!!!!! We LOVE it! Hey Jay would you be willing to adopt a son? LOL HAHAHA, just kidding! Or am I? LOL Thank you Tremec for making super outstanding transmissions.
Hi jayI have one question for your tremec guy i'm looking if its possible to hook up this either t-5 or tremec box to an awd casing so I can turn my 1973 capri into an awd system I do have all of the component but the original 5 speed that on it would not be strong enough to withand a stronger version of the 2.9 liter specially the ford 2.9 liter cosworth 24 valve version of it like your show the jay garage well done
I like the crate engine approach everything you need to make it work standalone in a box this makes it more likely to get your project finished
It's just hugely expensive. Like the Blueprint Engines you see on the Motortrend channel are like $20k for 500hp. No thanks.
+Maxwelhse crate motors are less than 5k. 20k sounds like they are including labor or other stuff.
Thinking about putting a 6 speed manual tremec in my 74 corvette... should I spend the large 4grand?
Hi Jay, new haircut. looking good handsome.
Tremec ftw...I have the one on the left, and it's a great trans.
Nate is a great person and very knowledgeable about Tremec BUT on the TKO 5spd he only indicated that there are 3 SHIFTER LOCATIONS WHEN THERE IS ACTUALLY 4 LOCATIONS.... Yes, that large 4-bolt cover on top of the main transmission case cover that holds the 3 gear selector shafts is where a front mounted shifter can be located! Now, please don't anyone bet against me on this, because as a former TKO Technician of a ELITE TREMEC DEALER ( 1 of 13 in the world at that time around 2010 ) I was responsible for installing FRONT SHIFTERS on TKO TREMECS that left our distribution/research center, including more than a few that went to Roy Brizzio's custom car building shop. I left that ELITE DEALER in 2013 because my dad had a heart attack and could no longer care for his estate by himself so I relocated there over 200 miles away.... Like I said Nate is a great guy ( I think I cohosted the Tremec Booth once in 2009 at ZMAX DRAGWAY in Charlotte NC in 2009 ) but for some reason tonight upon seeing this video I felt the need to correct the oversight of the FRONT SHIFTER LOCATION because I am very proud of the status of the work I did using this location.... 😎
I love the T-56 in my Camaro. Just wished they had made 2nd gear synchros stronger .
are they only for usdm or will this fit on an s-chassis?
tremec transmissions good stuff
i was hoping they would bring a cutaway demonstrator. i am actually very interested in learning more about transmissions
Check out Erick the Car guy he did a series with a transmission guy on a T5
Manuals are pretty straight forward. Gear stacks and shift forks essentially. Find a cheap manual and split the case on it. Put it back together then see if you can turn the input shaft by hand while it's in gear. If you can, you put it back together right. It don't take much to figure one out and in my opinion hands on is the best way to start with something thats cheap or garbage.
Automatics on the other hand, they are powered by witchcraft.
fascinating! why not visit the factory and give us a longer video!
