Brian rebuilt the transmission of his truck using the tailgate as a bench and this will probably outlast work from many so called professional shops friends or I have done business with. Great job Brian, way to keep your stuff on the road.
things go so much better when you can open the shop door & work in the sunlight. I had my first week of open air shop time this week & It improved the attitude & productivity by 10 fold
@@bcbloc02 Brian i have a question to ask you about Transmission & drive-line is there any money 💰 to be made with this trade hi 👋 from# YSW 🇨🇦 respect back to you Brian.
I did this a while ago, except it was a Saginaw. Wish I had this to reference, I’m sure it would have my rebuild all the more better. I have yet to try it yet, I need to make a throttle shaft for the carb., the old one was getting stuck in the bore.
Good job as usual. If I lived closer to Brian, I would get an old tailgate, mount it on a raised frame and put it casters under it for a portable workbench. :-)
Hi Brian, rebuilt 3 Toyota Landcruiser gearboxes back in the late 80's, common problem was input bearing becoming noisy, not designed for heavy towing in fifth gear, loads up input bearing and countershaft bearings, I always towed in fourth gear and stayed away from fifth gear, help preserve the gearbox.
These new bearings are noisy, can’t hear anything in this truck anyway. Can’t argue with that “not my problem” kind of logic. I absolutely envy your ability to rebuild a gearbox on the tailgate, at the very least I’d settle for the dinner table if nobody was there to stop me.
Flat surface = bed rail. I love it. No fair with those 1/2 caged needles. The last box I did was all loose needles. Real PITA even with grease. Was that Rolls Royce Hylomar that you sealed it up with? Nice job.
Looks great Brian. I was wondering how they controlled the countershaft end play? That countershaft sure could have been designed with heavier bearings. Anyway great job Brian. Thanks for sharing. Take care, Ed.
id like to see more of your first gen towing content, have you ever considered ditching the getrag and going for a nv5600? ive done a few swaps now with them, and i feel its one of the best upgrades especially for guys who work their trucks.
I like the nv5600 but they are difficult to rebuild expensive and the shift gates don’t have my preferred feel. I would like a6spd spicer or fuller more I think.
Brian you remind me that so much depends on what you're familiar with! I look at that Getrag & would rather rebuild a 47/48re automatic trans. You would probably prefer rebuilding the Getrag than an auto. 😂
Yes it could be done as I considered it. I decided because it all still runs on the small diameter countershaft shaft that it probably wasn’t worth it.
Haven't had one apart in a long time, but,is there a way to increase the counter shaft bearing size.??. probably no room to grow there... broken 2 of those things..one for the counter bearings and the other cause of the input shaft if I remember right...but,who cares bout that... thanks for another one..have a good weekend 👊
@@bcbloc02 actually working through this thought rn. there's really not alot of room to grow in the case casting. a professor told me no more than a 5% gain in size before you compromise the strength of the case.
@@colekilgore8554 I see 2 options either do what I do and only put big power thru the g360 in 4th so mo power goes thru the countershaft or put in a more heavy duty trans like a big spicer.
Guys Iv got mine apart and the front and rear bearing posts did not come out of the countershaft how do I get the small bearing posts out of the countershaft Iv looked everywhere??? Do I put the bearings back on and rear clip them in place and pound on it till they pop out of each end of the countershaft 😫??????
On countershaft remove snap ring holding bearings in case in front then remove snap ring in back holding bearing on countershaft support shaft then drive support shaft out of the countershaft out the front. The back bearing will fall off and the other one goes out the case with the support shaft usually
Does the "factory" also have to manually build up a working transmission's gearing, or have they figured out a way to do this automatically for production and cost?
They have special gauging that they use that measures the plus minus to nominal then each part is marked. Then on assembly the builder knows what shim stacks it takes for all the parts to add up correctly.
@@bcbloc02 I was watching and noticed your overhead crane, forgot you installed years ago. Then I remembered the radial drill incident. Senior moments suck.
My shop is not a huge building it is less than 2000sqft and it contains several very large machine tools so it is pretty much full. I can just barely get my truck in the center aisle and close the door because my truck is almost 30ft long and 1/3 the width of the building and I have each other 1/3 lined with the machines so there is only room to walk around the truck when it is inside.
@bcbloc02 that's for sure. I was thinking of getting the pto cooler for extra capacity and then drilling holes for feed and return lines to an automatic style cooler up front. Just have a little pump on a switch.
👍👍...who else used the g360?..I imagine there's a few others...not Ford,but GM perhaps?.. I do know GM used the new venture trans..but anyway, doesn't matter
@@ShainAndrewsjust read that Chrysler/ GM were the 2 in the "new venture gear"..not Ford ,but BFPS bought tcases obviously...but who cares anyway..have a good day 👍
Is this a video about putting a transmission together Dry? All those parts should be soaking in the same oil your going to use on the trans. Never put anything together dry, that requires wet lubricant and doesn’t have a pump. Maybe I missed something?

They just don't realize how sharp he is.
The knowledge and experience you have with gearboxes is outstanding! Thank you for sharing - good to hear the birds tweeting away!

That casting looks flawless.
It is a very smooth and clean casting. Clearly that German foundry has it going on.
Good job as usual. If I lived closer to Brian, I would get an old tailgate, mount it on a raised frame and put it casters under it for a portable workbench. :-)
Damnit. I have the tail gate off my first Gen laying around. That's a great idea

Looks like Loctite 518 flange sealant to me, but the last time I used Hylomar it was in a tin tube!
Reminds me of when I rebuilt a T18
You have amazing skills Brian. Is there anything that you don't know how to repair. Cool Milwaukee impacts also.

It’s been awhile but pretty sure I remember how to build any of the 727 related transmissions. I hope to not have to though! Lol
I wonder. Could somebody possibly line bore the countershaft races and put some bigger bearings in there
Yes it could be done as I considered it. I decided because it all still runs on the small diameter countershaft shaft that it probably wasn’t worth it.

brian you need a workshop !😂
Guys where do the shims go ???? Inside the case in the main shaft?
Both the front and rear upper and lower bearing pockets can be shimmed to set proper position in the case and bearing preload
Does the "factory" also have to manually build up a working transmission's gearing, or have they figured out a way to do this automatically for production and cost?
They have special gauging that they use that measures the plus minus to nominal then each part is marked. Then on assembly the builder knows what shim stacks it takes for all the parts to add up correctly.
He can do my mecanical anytime.
How hard was it to find the parts? And how much did it set you back....
I found all the parts on eBay in a few minutes and I think the total for oil and everything was about $500
When was the Crain installation? I missed that one?
I don’t know what you are asking.

The parts are submerged in oil once it is in the vehicle and filled up. No need to pre oil something that will be sitting in oil.
There's no clutch plates like in an auto. It's fine.
