- Extreme smash up derby JUST BUILT Th400... Well you know how it goes when they stay built before. Let’s just see how built it really is. I hope everyone enjoys we thank you all so much for watching.
👍🏼❤️🙏🏼
Doesn't matter what the profession, It's a pleasure to watch someone that knows their craft.
The sheer speed that he can tear down a trans amazes me every time.
And he explains everything
Same here, its amazing to see the level of skill here.
Its just beautiful to watch.
Exactly what I was thinking. Just amazing.
The world needs more transmission specialists with the amount of integrity, honesty, and friendly nature like you guys. Great Content!
@@shadowopsairman1583 Transmission Technology in Cambridge, Ontairo. Guys are solid. Called me in the day after I dropped off my car ~5 years ago. Had my 4T65eHD all torn down to the case just like in the video. Showed me everything too just like these guys. No BS. No lies. Solid work. That was after I went to 2 other places. First place called me "riff raff" the 2nd place was a monster 10 bay transmission shop with only 1 car up on the hoist and the manager gave me one of those used car salesman vibes so I left and went to TT.
Right? It'd be great if we could all have faith in our local mechanics, ect.
@@hoagie7859 I find a tell tale sign of a shit mechanic is if the guy has toys out front (race trailer with the garage's logo on it). The shop isn't paying for that stuff. The customer is. I want to see a mechanic with a 94 celica or an old crown vic or a late 80s rustang and the ability to allow you to come up to your car while it's up on the hoist so they can show you what's mangled. You know they're not messing around then.
@Erick Jamari that’s funny last night I met your Gf on Instagram and she didn’t say much about you.
Shadow Opps - Not all of them are good.
Every tool has a hammer side to it.
spotted the SMA viewer ;)
Yes it does, years of using different tools will teach you that.
Some you hammer harder
The 12" Harbor Freight adjustable wrench works real good in hammer mode.
Every tool is a hammer unless it’s a screwdriver then it’s a prybar
Explaining everything to the customer like that is service you just dont get anymore. Thanks Jason for funding this evening entertainment 👍
I'm sure if you are willing to pay for the techs time to stand there and explain everything they would.
The vast majority of customers would have no clue what's what anyway.
@@Cheepchipsable people who get built TH400 know a thing or two about cars lmfao.
you got to pay for that information
@@Taydrum or just let them film it so they get paid off youtube...?
I’m not a mechanic, I don’t race cars I don’t need any transmission work done. I don’t know why I love watching Richard rip transmissions a part but I watch every video!!
Me either. But im planning on something to bring them
Same here. I know that if I ever need one built....he's my guy
It’s true. Most videos are in a way very similar, but I never get bored. I’m totally fascinated and impressed how complex these boxes are.!👌🏻
I like learning and I've never really known anything about how a transmission is actually built. I won't be tearing apart my own transmission, ever, cause I will take it to pro like Richard. But its certainly fascinating to see how complex these boxes we use almost every day really are!
Me too!
Teaching the world the right way step by step without missing a bolt. We need more guys teaching like you all
As a uti student currently this man has given me a giant leg up in class, a true idol
Teaching the world the wrong way.
There are 1000's of th400's out there with fixed line pressure and him saying it wears out the pump every time...is just wrong.
Also...he doesn't understand that the fwd clutch ALWAYS uses the full apply area.
Leaving the center seal out in the fwd drum does nothing but make the shift from neutral to fwd more firm
@@gradyfarrer5146 all your replies on the channels are telling others that they're wrong lol chill out karen, this guy can take these apart blindfolded in the time it takes for you to get off the couch and make a hotpocket 🤫🤡
@@stealthywealthy7942 thank you I agree 100 percent with your comment. Right or wrong I not sure, people bring him their transmissions he builds them and is nice enough to let us watch. If I were to talk smack like Grady (and I'm not saying he is wrong) but maybe Grady could get a youtube channel and just show us how he would do it. Until then he can STFU. LOL
Like watching one of them autopsy shows... who doesn't love a good troubleshoot?
As long as it's not my own vehicle/ toy
Failure at 10 mins of run time and 10 mins for mr. Richard to tell you why. Truly a master!
But he didn't tell you why. I've gotten every pump gear stuck like his out fairly easy. What caused the direct clutch to weld? I don't know from the video, but I would have wanted the car with trans installed to run tests. Clutch and band failures like that are usually the result of low pressure.
Good point, he really is amazing. Took me 2 weeks just to realize I needed 2 months of studying first.
Oh hes quick to point out how shitty the previous work of others is. Any builder that says he's never had a malfunction or a yoyo. Is an outright liar.
@@howardjohnson6584 Rewatch the video. He told me why.
@@mr.joshuah1412 you watch it.
I havent seen someone on their game as much as you, in a WHILE. Its nice to hear the explanation of "why" the components failed, not just "which" ones failed. I consider myself pretty proficient in mechanical systems, but transmissions have always mystified me. I understand the basics, but holy shit, there are quite a few components. I almost get into a trance watching these vids. Thank you for showing us.
My grandfather worked for Chevrolet dealership for 37 years.. he died in 1987.. You remind me of him Sir and it is a pleasure to watch you. Like I used to watch him as a young man. He fixed my poor 64 falcon's 2 speed Auto so many times until there were none of them left in the wrecking yards. The last time he took 3 he found and took them all 3 apart to make me one that would work. He told me it was the last time. The th400 was in his opinion the best transmission..at least at the time..All these memories from a single video...Thanks..
This is beautiful to watch. A lot of people “know what they’re doing”. . . A lot fewer know it so well that they can comfortable express themselves while they’re doing it. Always a pleasure to watch “King Richard in Action”.. . . the new King Richard (not trying to be petty about it)😀
Well said.
I saw what you did there.
I was thinking, "This is the Bob Ross of transmission rebuilding."
So, this feller got himself a "built" transmission, but in reality, it was just a fluid/filter change. Too many old and tired parts still in there.
Taking something apart , and putting it back together is building ,isn't it 🤔
It's built 🤣🤣🤣
Maybe the" I pick stuff up and put it down" guy did the build.
@@MrTheHillfolk Haha, that guy truly was a "lunk." ;-)
MrHillfolk Nah, thats disassemble and reassemble. Got have casting to actually build transmission.
lots of work done to it,much of it done right but because too much constant high pressure it burnt up..this was actually a good build,just not set up to idle
@@trillrifaxegrindor4411 I'm not an expert, but I take Richard's word over yours that this "build" wasn't anything nearly "good." Many old parts which should have been changed out.
When you said (you know I've been acused of abusing a screwdriver in these video's) I started laughing.
My screwdriver saw this and now needs therapy.
I has a snap on salesman 40 years ago say when he was a mechanic that he never used a screwdriver for a punch, prybar or scraper--everyone in the shop outright laughed in his face.
The way he knows the things, and the simple way he explain everything, its a gift, sometimes good professionals arent good teachers . . . Awesome vids
This guy blows my mind when he's yanking these transmissions apart so quickly. A genuine master at his craft. Y'all are rebuilding my transmissions in the future. Thankyou for the videos they are fun and entertaining to watch
Can you imagine the waiting list there is to have this guy work on your transmission
@@whorubitch well worth the wait and $ to have it done right
mine too
It's nice to see a professional who know his stuff, I'll donate $10 to a charity of Richard's choosing if he'd take one apart blindfolded
,, you know he could do it too...
@@Gecko88 Group Effort x$10 x viewers
When I went to auto repair school my transmission teacher said he knew a guy who was blind and rebuilt transmissions.
I'm a retired diesel engine technician for forty years, just really impressed with your knowledge and the way you can just blow through a gearbox the way you do.
I feel the same way.
Richard open a transmission school.
I am 55 and would gladly pay to learn from you
In am a wrench, just never got into transmissions
I’m 65 and I would like to attend.
I’m 56 and I pay to learn from him
@@LazloNQ I would pay to learn from him
@@LazloNQyou would pay what he charges.
I lost my transmission guy over 20 years ago. Refreshing to see someone on that level of expertise performing their craft. This was a nice trip down memory lane. He helped me rebuild my first TH400 when I was young.
How about getting a microphone on Trent so we can better hear the interaction between you guys?
That is a great idea
I can see this Isn't your first transmission. I took an auto trans course and I can respect all the knowledge that you have. After completing the course I realized it was going to take me a very long time to truly understand these things so I decided not to go into the field. Watching you do a tear down brings back a lot of memories while taking the classes. I like the way you inspect all the components as you are taking it apart and your knowledge is second to none. Very cool.
I’ve never seen them welded together like that
Guy must of had it to the wood in third the whole time. Love the carnage
Never ran it in 3rd. Only 1st gear and reverse!!!
@@jasonbernhardt1613 I believe if the reverse band is slipping then the 3/R clutch is the also in the chain and it's piston had the seal present that reduced the application pressure, and the transmission was providing low pump pressure to boot. So 3/R slipped itself to death in reverse eventually sticking in 3'rd waiting to disengage for first.
If you're in reverse, you're applying direct (third) but the sprag's running free because the drum's locked by the band.
Ask Richard, I may be wrong. Or just arranging my words wrong...
@@mfree80286 sure sounds like a good explanation. All I know is that in 1st gear the car wouldn’t move. The motor wouldn’t even rev up. But i did drive it out of arena in drive. And reverse worked.
@@jasonbernhardt1613 I guess the final verdict is "It's busted." Good enough for me :)
@@mfree80286 lol. Exactly!
One of Richards best shows. He shows a guy from up north with a racer what happened to his brand new rebuilt transmission. That the guy never replaced the seals and locked the pump on high pressure ruining the 1st and reverse clutches and 3rd gear clutches melted holding it in 3rd gear. This transmission even needs new sun gears with one smoked. Richard said they (took a modulator out and jacked the pressure spring up burning the pump up)?
Been wrenching on cars for about 40 years now and I'm always amazed when someone can rip an auto trans apart AND put it back together. Absolutely amazing to watch you work.
Right,,, I'm fairly good at doing full rebuilds on ol v8s. Apart from machining bores and crack testing, I do it all. But,, Not enough brain power left for this new skill -- He enjoys his work.
Im amazed when I see one put back together and it works correctly and all the parts that were supposed to be replaced actually got replaced. To many half ass tranny guys out there
It is amazing how you keep reaching in and pulling out pieces from inside the trans, like a magician pulling out stuff from his magic bag.
Can you even say “Tranny” anymore? /s
Call it a Bruce....
Gotta pull my Bruce, do a few Bruce modifications, then slap the Bruce back together and reinstall the Bruce into the ride. I prefer the T400 Bruce.
I just learned more in 10 mins than I've known about auto trans the last 39yrs of life. Also, the fact he admitted to not seeing part failures when making videos, is a humble move. 9/10 ppl on TH-cam wouldn't say that. Definitely worth a like & follow.
Richie keep up the good work! You are an excellent transmission specialist!! 👌👌
So that what the inside of my Hydromatic looks like! Thanks for the teardowns! I've learned so much from y'all, but, I'll still leave the work to the professionals.
Eric O. at South Main Auto channel says, "every tool has a hammer side."
I must be learning something. When the valve body came off with hardly any fluid showing on the gaskets I suspected a lubricant failure somewhere. Blown pump, bingo.
But the pump wasn't blown up.
Kinda like guessing the bad guy on tv show
Blows my mind, transmissions must be some of the greatest inventions of our time and this dood is a whisperer.
i love how your newer videos start with you coming out from another room like the tv shows from the 90s. "Hi I'm Stacey Rekt and on this weeks episode of Rat Rodz TV, we'll be putting the heads on Project Wicked Willies 572 big block." XD
Shade Tree Mechanics was a fav of mine.
Anything can be used as a hammer if you use it wrong enough!
Lol 😆
My olds silhouette power sliding door was stuck, I got annoyed so I hit the door with the spare tire..... It opened 🤷🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hey I’ll tell ya, a 400’s pan looks like an outline of Texas w/extra room for Amarillo.
Witnessing god like work at around 11:03 when it seems like a trillion pieces fall outta part and the man don't skip a beat.
Damn....I bet Richard would make a good oyster shucker....he’s got the moves...lol
Amazing how many parts there are. He tears it down like nothing. The man knows his business. Nice to watch.
Just watching you work has gained my respect. I run an aircraft maintenance shop and I strive to have the integrity you have.
Man the way he throws parts around I'm jealous he can put them all back together without a issue😡😡. I would've been FUCKED😭😭😭😢😢😢. Asking if anyone can help me make sure everything is in the right place when time to put back together. We all have our skills set. But I can't do what he does and still place together perfectly. Good work man. You are going to have me come way from Florida. Just to watch you work. This is amazing! I'm such a hater right now. You should become a teacher once you retire. Teach the new kids how to do this.
Yeah I'd need a sharpie and a box of freezer bags to keep everything labeled and separated, and I'd still have a snap ring left over after putting it back together.
@@MOE-db8oc 😳! I couldn't have said it any better. Your comment is better then mine lol. Perfect analogy 🤝🏿.
My buddy’s truck has been at Aamco for 6 months for what I think is a simply converter failure. Was told to even put a off shelf rebuilt if they had any doubts and they are taking so long I’m about to just try and do it for him after these videos 😂😂😂
This guy is great! Super informative and polite, not condescending at all.
Wish I could find a mechanic like this.
You guys haven't posted on TH-cam for a year, I hope that everything is ok 🙂
Awesome video as usual. Never been this early to viewing it. Brilliant work you folks are doing.
What happened to your videos? Hopefully all is well.
As a panelbeater tradesman for 30 years i love watching you dismantal gearboxes and fix them...so rewarding👍👍👍👍
Can you work on a manual transmission? That'd be cool to see. Perhaps a drag manual? Or a standard 4 on the floor?
I love how it looks like he's just making a random pile of parts but you know he's so good that there's a pattern to how he does it. Derails my OCD though. LOL
I teach students at my shop in tulsa & i have them watch your videos as a teaching tool. Thank you for always providing great work & passing along your wealth of knowledge
Dr. Manhattan stops by every now and then to watch a real G.O.A.T. at work.
Dame I wish I had 10% of the knowledge this guy has on transmissions
I would like to see Richard assemble a transmission.
Search for: Precision Transmission build video. He has uploaded 3 build videos.
@@alstuart Thanks!
@@alstuart 3 build videos out of how many. He's getting torn down in blogs about this and other questionable methods he uses.
@@snickerdoodleduke Richard has explained why he doesn't make more build videos. He can film a teardown video in a single take and minimal editing. It takes hours to film a build video, and it requires a lot of editing. That's time they aren’t working on transmissions.
@@alstuart hes making big money off the 100,000 subscribers he has. Thats a BS excuse.
Its nice seeing some builders wearing gloves around the fluids now. Those fluids can lead to all sorts of health issues if you are constantly soaked in them. Nice to see a builder who values health over the "though guy" image.
I guess the Milwaukee checks have cleared.
I wonder if the first anonymous impact was from Milwaukee factory? Very smart of them if it was.
Some people enjoy Ballet, I just enjoy these types of videos. I myself am a jack-of-all-trades and master of none. So watching you guys do stuff always makes me wish I had just stuck with one thing...I can definitely see where this is actually very easy to do. It's just transmissions, a few pieces, but the devil is in the detail and creatures like you don't come around often. God bless!
Imagine getting to watch the transmission professor tear down your transmission. It would be awesome!
He just said as much. He's replying to some of these comments.
Pity you don't have a branch here in my city Adelaide South Australia!
Keep up the great work/videos!! Blessings to you all!
Man you are awesome you certainly know your stuff from Cape breton nova Scotia canada 👍👍👍👏👏
That guy could have been more enthusiastic in the beginning. He could have pugged his demo derby team, where they race/crash/bash, next event, and his socials
You been watching long? Took Richard awhile to get comfortable with the camera. He doesn’t have much of a social media presence. He a good ole boy. The whole social media etiquette thing is probably something he ain’t even aware of
I don’t like being on camera so I was nervous. I don’t have a team. I do it all on my own basically. A few friends help me when they can. It’s hard to tell when I will run a car next. Covid canceled a lot of shows last year. Hopefully I will get to try out at least one transmission this year a few times.
@@jasonbernhardt1613 I hear you! you could get a million views! you would be more famous than most HGTV cable shows
@@jasonbernhardt1613 do you have a TH-cam channel? I run in the open mod derbies here in Northern Ontario and love watching the boys and girls down south.
@@michaelsmutnick lol. That would be great. But I’m horrible at videos and cameras and that type of stuff.
Hard to find knowledge like this and even hard to find people that admit that they missed something, even though you caught those part failures I'm sure if you didn't and it failed eventually I'm sure you'd still admit that hey yea I missed that and that right there will keep business, so many businesses nowadays will not admit they messed something up and that looses business more than anything
Every tool has a hammer side. Yep, learned that from SMA.
Hey precision transmission! This is about a 2nd gen fat tire camaro. Hey can i mod a TH350 with TH400 Planetary somehow? Or where can i get 2.10 and 1.40 planetary set? How can i get it to fit? After i get this transmission sorted i'd like ta drive on up maybe to go see a shen yun in it.
I tried “rebuilding” my 4l80e and installing a brake, I’m a bit nervous to go test it lol
Wish you the best luck! Rebuilt the 60e in my lil nitrous truck. Haven’t beat on it but it drives nice.
Then after that I built a glide for my ws6. Went 6.5 at 107mph first pass with the new tranny. It’s a good feeling when you let go of the button and you still have your feet 🤣🤣
Him speaking translingo.....
I hear:↔️🔄⤵️⬇️↗️🔄⬇️⬅️
You’re know when you’re doing something right when a guy brings you the 4th transmission after he shipped 3 already to be built. Richard has a God given talent and Blessed Beyond Measure.
nothing god did here,its doing thousands of them........you get good by doing,not praying ffs
@@trillrifaxegrindor4411 God made you now honor him with your tongue
If I did want to start working on a transmission what would I do first?
Buy a salvage?
I would hate to pull the trans out of my F150 and mess it up.
Check your local junior colleges for courses or get a job as an apprentice transmission tech or even do free work as a helper in a transmission shop. You need to get connected to some source of expert knowledge.
Dad seemed like he was under some pressure from the customer.... Not cool. Love y'all.
Never pressured the guy at all! Why in the world would I pressure a guy that I drove 450 miles to have help me?? I was honored that he was willing and able to help me! Richard, Trent and Theresa are first class people! They are super kind and treated me like I have known them my entire life! It was a pleasure getting to talk to them not only about transmissions. But just life in general!!! The guys are just super busy and have more work going on there than you can imagine!!!
Sir. I never intended to seem that way. They're awesome! My apologies to you sir....I love the content and I learn alot about my trans as well. God bless you all!
No reason to apologize to me ! But thank you sir!!! The knowledge they have is incredible!!! Hope you have a wonderful day !!!
Yes sir you too!! Good luck winning the race. Every race!!!
@@jasonbernhardt1613 do u have a FB or utube so we can keep up with you we derby in Indiana and Ohio good luck to ya we know u have a strong trans
It's a slipping slush box whether it is rebuilt or brand new ,
I can't stand Automatic transmissions!
I'll take a clutch and 4 or 5 speed any day !
Woooooo! Thanks for another awesome video. 🙏 ✌️
you mean Low gear or 1st gear is in the back not second gear,,, second gear is in the front behind the pump...
You are good with transmissions but you GOT to be more carefull with that Nice impact wrench..
Are you guys doing carry outs now????
Trent.. don't flood these videos with commercials.. That is why I and a lot of folks I know have stopped watching tv.. I would hate to miss Richards videos because of to much commercial interruptions..
You're watching these videos for free, yet they are not free to make. They have to get paid somehow.
@@Studio23Media thanks for your opinion..
If we would have done it, LOL. In other words, if we didn't build it, it was built wrong.
Why don’t you ever show the building process
Rather see them rebuilt with explanations.
Kansas City in the house! I have been watching all of your videos from here in KC
Do u know a channel that does what ur doing w trans but for engines??
Richard your a good man sir..Thanks for your time, patience, and proper teaching....Its truly priceless
An observation, from randomly watching your videos that end up on my recommendation list; I see a trend in your clients bringing you supposedly "built" transmissions that only last so many minutes/miles/pulls, whatever, and you find lazy or below-par assembly upon tear down. Could you make sure there are enough "properly built" videos being made to help the general public do better on their own if they can't bring you their business?
Turbo 400 my favorite trans of all time.
Miss your videos
Bom dias aqui de poa sao paulo.tem como ttaduzir para o português
Man this channel went down in flames 🤷♂️
I've watched so many of your videos and I'm just so amazed at how much knowledge and know how you have when it comes to such a complicated piece of machinery. And it's not as if this is a "one size fits all" piece of equipment either. You seem to know all the ins and outs of any transmission that rolls into your shop. It's so impressive. And not only do you fix them, you improve on the manufacturers faults. Thank you for sharing what you do with the world!
I'm still driving the very first T400 I built back in 1979. It's in my 580HP 65 Chevelle, still going strong with B&M Transpak installed over 40 years ago. Wore out pump nothing is going to last long.
Man auto transmissions are like the dark arts, LOL. It's the calculus equation on any vehicle.
Great video Mr.Richard. Always a pleasure to watch your skills.
Richard, your knowledge is incredible! Awesome. Peace
Jason thinks hes too cool to say wuz up to us smh he looked stuck up js
This is awesome can i please have your brain
The transmission 'coroner ' 😂🤣😅
I have a 2012 Impala LT with the 6T70 transmission. It's a super clean ride, but it's getting up in miles and I know it's gonna need a rebuild. I'm very serious when I say I want you to be the one to rebuild it if possible. I'm in eastern NC. When the time comes, I'd like to reach out to you and get an estimate and turnaround time frame.
Thanks
Having seen the complexities of the trans I am pretty sure you won't get an estimate - too many variables and the cost won't be known til the box is apart...
Yall are super knowledgeable and do some awesome work! But we would like to see more build videos!!!
Hey man I really love your videos but I was wondering if you did any with closed captions of if you might be able to in the future, I don't know if that part of video editing falls on you or youtube but it would be awesome.
TH-cam will automatically add closed captions, but it can take hours or days for them to get added. Also, no disrespect to Richard, but his Texas accent sometimes messes with the translation.
Up north Canadian here haha
Absolutely fascinating watching you tear these things down in minutes. And it’s nice that you share this information with everyone!! Not many people would be so generous. Thanks. I am 36 and a self taught home mechanic on my own junk and TH-camr too!! Love to watch your videos!!
Just came across your channel...very impressive. One piece of info that you shared was to learn, which reminded me of when I was a young teenager back in the late sixties and working after school hours and on the weekends in a corner gas station, the ones that still had repairs bays and mechanics. During the evenings, a Transmission Specialist who worked at a local Dealership would take on side work and rent one of the bays at the gas station and the vehicle he was repairing would be brought in during the afternoon and aside from attending the gas pumps, I was to prep the vehicle and have the transmission ready to drop when the Transmission Specialist arrived after 5pm. I always kept my face and hands right beside the job he was doing and did I ever learn a lot from him, also he delighted in the fact that I was eager to learn about transmission repair ( wasn’t expecting to be paid to help and did not get paid as he shared his knowledge and skills freely to teach ). His teaching skills were great which made everything easy to learn and remember...which I also find the same skill and presentation in your videos. Thank you.
Following from Australia 🇦🇺
Love your videos and the way you guys run a business 👍
Great video as always. You should make videos for each different transmission on how to build them right and sell them. I would buy some just to know what what needs to be done. You could even sell rebuild kits and parts that have the upgrades.
Love you videos man I'm from fort.madison iowa and I thank you for the time you put in on your videos.
