[@mike-tl3is]

For someone who doesn’t know what they are doing. You are doing a very good and professional job my friend you can never be too careful when you are messing with a automatic transmission. Bravo job very well done 👍 it shows that you self teach yourself sign of a good mechanic

[@tcanthony2]

Glad to see you back.

[@larrygall5831]

Great job. You can be proud to have got that thing back together and have it work so well.

[@tramcuuhocapy]

I can't express how much I enjoy your videos! Your passion for restoration is evident in every step of the process, and the end results are always breathtaking. Keep inspiring us

[@alanphillips556]

Hey hey. Wazzup guys. Ice is back on the road. Nothing goes without complications, but hes back on the road. YEA! Lets see how ya get on with this trans.

[@matthewcox1122]

Well done🔧🍀👍I know I wouldn't mess with auto trans but your video gave me confidence it could be done 🙏👌keep them rolling out 👍

[@alanphillips556]

Proper job garth , well done to you.👍👍

[@lonniekuehner]

As a 65 yr old man your not 20 anymore things might go a little better if you quit working on the floor . It's a lot easier on your back & knees . Maybe you wont get so flustered . Just a thought . Good Show

[@study650]

Great job and great video. No way I would have attempted to do that. At beginning of video, looked like Little Bit had gotten out of bed. What a cutie pie.

[@jazman1966]

1/2, 1, 1/2, oops 😂😂😂😂 had me losing it. Great video. Been where you're at. Tear it apart, go away, come back and takes 3x longer. Great work!

[@debbiebermudez5890]

Mr. B. Here ! 🍩☕️👀😎👍.

[@grantmelcher1830]

Great job both on the transmission and with Ice man’s stuff!!

[@matthewcox1122]

Only been following a short while but the intro is 🔥 fire don't know how I missed it before had go re watch some to make sure it wasn't new 😅 👍👌

[@jeffreyyatessr]

Your daughter really looks up to you and is a daddy's girl hanging out with you and trying to help in her own way.

[@garthsgraveyardgarage]

She definitely loves to jump in and help when she can!

[@edshinndesign]

Good to see y'all!

[@rhondasweeney7271]

Better you than me! Congratulations 🎊 Thanks for sharing!😊 Thae bike will be interesting 👍

[@alanphillips556]

When it it sure rains. Interesting project with the bike.

[@DanStewart-d6i]

I had a Falcon back in the day! They R a great little car!

[@sykwookiee]

No way would I be brave enough to tackle that slush box...I barely had enough patience to build manual...good stuff Garth, shadetree mechanic approved...

[@billgaines8207]

Hey brother another awesome video I understand about being busy like I said before I respect how you do things with out the stuff like vgg and junkyard digs I really enjoy your videos

[@jamesolcott4388]

it's great to see you back on and glad you took care of Ice man. Keep up the good work. Hope you and the family continue to grow with the channel.

[@samphillips8322]

Good job on the transmission. First new car was 63 Falcon 6cyl/Fordomatic. In the family for 17 years with no drivetrain or suspension probs. Added a drain plug to transmission pan and replaced fluid when needed. My Falcon made some long trips. It survived city traffic in Atlanta and one winter in NY. With the 6 the stock Falcon will peak at 80-85 on a straight open road. That is all. It is a light car so should consider suspension and brake upgrades if you make it faster. Falcon bodies are very rust resistant. Original finish lasted a long time with a good wax job every year.

[@1954shadow]

Garth knows his - shift!

[@alanphillips556]

I shall watch the installation later. SEE YA!😊

[@shanewright6958]

Great job and another great video 👍👍

[@preciousmemories6890]

Great job!!!!!

[@Greg-x8g]

You doing great work keep it up

[@AllenBulluck-qz5zb]

Great job always good content I like working on my own vehicles when I can transmission hell no unless I could learn to install shift kits had alot of classic cars when I was younger and new good mechanics that could change and set rear gears and install a full competition B and M shift kit nest best thing to a rock crusher four speed would love to have either one now always enjoy thanks

[@alanphillips556]

Its like a kinda majic act, like i was expecting ya to join the rings together...TA DA!!! and for my next trick ladys and gentlemen. 😆 I shouldn't laugh. That kinda thing is frustrating at tge best of times. Fair play garth.👍

[@JohnnieBravo1]

That Sporty should be a fun project. I don't know what year that thing is, but if she'd like a bit more power on it, going from the stock 8.5 : 1 to 10.25 : 1 compression, putting an Andrews V8 (or compatible lift and duration, depending on its year) cam, with S&S Super E can really wake those things up. What's next for Millie ?? Interior work? Also, Holy Cow, Li'l Bit is growing up way fast!

[@robertchahulski8044]

I worked in a transmission shop when I was younger and I was taught take it all out in order and back in the the way it came out. I had problems in the beginning so I learned on my own just take pictures like with drum brakes when first learned. Needless to say I was allergic to the transmission fluid so it didn't last long

[@garyjohnson4458]

I have rebuilt a number of transmissions Will tell you this every time I did not use every thing in the kit it bit me in the ass It was not very long and I was redoing that transmission after I paid to re do a few I started doing complete rebuilds it stops the weakest link theory when u replace just whats worn you cause another part to now be the new weakest link

[@Castrucksandtractors]

Glad you're back my 54 ford crestline had a fordomatic had it rebuilt twice by 2 different transmission shops both who were very reliable shops and neither one lasted more than a couple hundred miles each i finally found a parts car and swapped mine to a 3speed and now its a 5speed hope you have better luck. What's up with the LTD for that boy

[@garthsgraveyardgarage]

We're about to tackle it again.

[@jamesmallinger9555]

I'm with you on transmissions,front wheel drive engines all suck ,❤LoveJim J&R mobile service and God Bless y'all and your critters

[@aa999xyz]

nice job! What about a dark purple for that bike with smoke flames?

[@deandigiacomo4286]

👍👍

[@marianovalentin]

My friend you should always take pictures and use Google.. What I love about Google it shows pictures and videos you can't get better than that..👏👍👌

[@BFVgnr]

How did I miss this one?

[@edwinbonnelljr1587]

Well well now that you work on it it's not going to work having fun with you let's see if it worked❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@frankdodson3534]

Maybe I'm wrong but that looked like a half done job to me seems to me that you would automatically go through it from end to end to do a good job I mean wouldn't that be the right way to do it?

[@garthsgraveyardgarage]

Personal preference I guess, but I was told on these old 2 speeds you can just repair what's broken, so that's what I did.

[@robertrichardson2617]

Watch your video of you taking it apart. Should give you a good idea of how things came apart

[@jimmiebrown5014]

Why didn't you film fixing Iceman's truck that would have been great to watch

[@garthsgraveyardgarage]

We would have had to do some serious censoring and all you would hear was beeps, or uncensored would probably have gotten us kicked off KZbin!

[@jasonjones5213]

I don't think I'll be doing an automatic anytime soon, Interesting though.

[@edwinbonnelljr1587]

Flat and round😂😂😂😂😂😂❤

[@actionbythought]

Shear curiousity (I am the cat that was killed😂) what does Iceman do for a living?

[@garthsgraveyardgarage]

Metal scrap recycling

[@marianovalentin]

Yo bro next time use a socket to tap in seals, using a hammer only ruins the seal.. I know we're not professionals but I know you know better than that..🤔😱🤯

[@garthsgraveyardgarage]

I normally do, but it worked just fine.

[@jakleo337]

As A mechanic who has done numerous auto transmissions, this was extremally painfully to watch.

[@garthsgraveyardgarage]

My first time, so give me a break.

[@JohnBaker-ks8rd]

U didnt say what u selling the van for, always give ur subscribers first chance

[@garthsgraveyardgarage]

Haven't decided on a price yet.

[@rickcapron9353]

Just keep plugin away

[@jeromebreeding3302]

Why would anyone want to rebuild that lousy air-cooled two speed Fordomatic trans ? Best relpace it with a three speed (C-3, C-4) or a standard trans.

[@garthsgraveyardgarage]

Because it's easy and original. Personal preference.

[@jeromebreeding3302]

@@garthsgraveyardgarage I aquired a 63 Falcon with a 170 cui six and the two speed auto. It took forever to reach hiway speeds. The only redeemable quality was that it was miserly on gas.

[@deandigiacomo2010]
