Big Red Gets A Transmission Rebuild!

[@CB-hr6zs]

Amazing bro! I wish I had your skills to take apart a transmission and put it back together

[@cgmwoodworx]

Do it once and its not bad, transfer cases are a piece of cake, I was always breaking inputs. I learned from pirate4x4 and had to figured it out. There is so much information on there in the Toyota Bible anything you have questions on is in there you just have to find it!

[@CB-hr6zs]

@@cgmwoodworx thanks for the info I’ll definitely look up that Toyota bible

[@Adrenalinedrivenmedia]

Looked so clean… that power wash method works 👊 so much work. That truck is killer

[@RM_Garage]

Sweet. Just dropped the trans out of mine and going to have to rebuild it. This will help!

[@bradenheal9927]

I can’t get over how far you have come from the beginning with this truck! It looks so good and your videography has really improved. Love continuing to watch and seeing things I have never seen before. 💪🏼

[@jcl1201]

The water sand blaster works great

[@katlegofellie7569]

These requires a lot of experience

[@shelbydog1100]

Beautiful truck if I was able drive a manual transmission truck I’d love to buy it. As far as I know nobody makes hand controls that work with a clutch.

[@garrett2717]

Not really that hard to learn honestly

[@Jake-tl6hj]

@@garrett2717 hand controls implying disability bruh

[@shelbydog1100]

@@garrett2717 it’s not that I don’t know how to drive a manual cause I started out driving a manual transmission. It’s that I’m a paraplegic now and everything has to be done with hand controls.

[@QuickAF]

Is there really no hand control options for manuals? Seems like a missed market honestly

[@yashsingh9345]

You stripped that box like a surgeon. Awesome work

[@Paulo-it5gq]

U made it look easy , that's the kind of thing i wouldn't think it would cost so cheap , you're literally becoming a pro at doing mostly everything in an engine that's pretty cool and we can always learn with you and that's pretty awesome as well , i understand u may want to sell big red but i would think u wouldn't ever sell it because it was the first project , but yeah things change and that may mean another cool project, but would be cool big red stay in the garage we like big red even with the uglier butt it still is Big Red ! At least do a dyno with both trucks I'm pretty curious because big red has a lot of stuff on it !

[@SPCL-RUN81]

Amazing build man, one of the cleanest toyotas on youtube. How do you like the w56 behind the diesel? I am in the process of swapping a R2.8 cummins in my 85 4runner, and praying it holds the 300+ ftlbs of torque lol.

[@MonkeyWithAWrench]

Hey, one quick tip on those bearing splitters. Put the forged part of the splitter across the gap in the supports so there is no bending force on the threaded rods. otherwise you bend the rods and have to replace them. Ask me how I know :P

[@FR-tm1fl]

Looks much faster the 2nd time around. Think im gonna find a junkyard donor and give it a whirl.

[@austinniemela]

Do it!!

[@wfyfwfyf]

Maybe get a 10 x 10 shade and tarp the sides to make a sandblasting room that's easy to put up and take down.

[@TheNickademas1]

Looks like you have down now! Also the lift helped out a bunch too.

[@TheNorthernHouse10]

This is the most fascinating thing I’ve ever seen this year by far. Seeing that tranny getting washed dis and re-assembled is so dope. It’s pretty intimidating also interesting seeing all the labor and intricate work involved.

[@hunkydory419]

Awesome truck/build. I love the older body styles. You've put a lot of hours in it and it shows! Realistically speaking, what would you say the tow rating is for that chassis/powerplant?

[@larrybrownlee9255]

Looks good! You need a slab outside your shop. I put one outside mine and can't believe how much I use it and how much cleaner the shop floor is.

[@austinniemela]

I know but with mud prices it’s hard to spend that much!

[@RicardoRodriguez-zu6xw]

Saludos amigo desde Bogota-colombia, que masestro excelentes trabajos, me divierto y aprendo viendo sus videos , muchas bendiciones

[@zaccheusmaynard1831]

In my mind, a hydraulic lift arm on the bed for cargo would be a perfect addition 🤔

[@corylangston8764]

Be honest. Did you have to watch the video footage a million times to get that all back together? This is some kinda black magic! The more I see of transmission rebuilding, the less I understand. Good for you though for getting it. Mad respect!

[@robertphillips9014]

Alien technology.

[@austinniemela]

I take a few pictures! But this is my 3rd rebuild so I know how they are assembled now!

[@ronthompson2366]

Always enjoy watching your videos. But curious note on the green truck. Why does it sound like a lawnmower or old farm tractor when you start it up lol... almost want to put a rain flapper on the tail pipe... Don't get me wrong I like that truck. But chuckle when I hear it fire up.

[@theduckrc211v4]

I'm planning rebuilding mine r150f later this year , using your other video as a guide .

[@papawheelie5835]

Another stellar job and a very entertaining and educational video! I'm still awaiting the diesel swap of the Suzuki Carry...... Maybe a little 3 cylinder Kubota engine off a zero turn mower like a Grasshopper or something similar.

[@02shredder]

Well you made that look really easy

[@jameskappel]

enjoy at how many pieces of equipment/tools you have modified or made.

[@clayton203]

Your a hell of a mechanic man,,just took my w56 and transfer cas to high gear in Memphis to have it gone through,,they said the transfer cases never wear out,,I told them that I wanted it gone through anyways because I had bad luck ,,so 1600 dollars later I got my transmission back in the truck And just like you that was the last thing that I haven’t went through on this truck,,super tight now with the transmission with all new bearings and syncs ,, I don’t have a lift like you do in the shop,but with the truck lifted and the big tires,,I put 2 big pieces of foam rubber on the edges of the cab just above the windshield ,I use a small chain around the cab and hook it back to itself,,then I use a 500 pound hoist and I got a small chain just I from of the shifter,,it balances pretty well,,and it goes back in just as easy

[@jeepie1964]

Really nice work dude, you are a craftsman 1st class, greetings from the Netherlands

[@tnguy9696]

wont be the same without big red

[@Paulo-it5gq]

I also think that way man but yeah ... we got to go what we got to do sometimes ...

[@jameskappel]

Back in the 70's, it was groovy to have a Hurst shifter handle

[@scottgray3945]

Sara n tuned needs one of those sand blaster / pressure washer adapters.

[@Nilezy]

Were you using Redline shockproof before the rebuild with the blue fluid?

[@austinniemela]

Yes!

[@Kazuma.-]

I only found this channel yesterday and i already love it. Is Big Red also Diesel swapped or is it just a 22RE?

[@Kazuma.-]

Nevermind. I looked way back in the videos and got my answer.

[@jameskappel]

you make it look so easy peasy lemon squeezy Austin.

[@thegonger1]

I had a feeling that you were going to sell Big Red. If someone in Ca. were to buy BR, would she pass emissions with the diesel swap? She sure is a beauty! I know the guys in Hawaii would love it! Great job on the tranny rebuild and video, is the Hilux next?

If anyone watched the build on the red Toyota, they would pay top dollar. Insurance companies could appraise the value of the truck. Have you considered doing a raffle?

[@weingump2602]

If not use a torch wrench, how do you know the specific torch for every bolt?

[@aaronkoren2147]

You should do a giveaway on the truck

[@jsb1945]

Oh dude! This pressure washer attachment is so useful. Where i can buy these ?

[@austinniemela]

I have a link in description!

[@oroomar]

Hi. i love your videos. my dad has an old hilux and i wish i could restore it just like you do with yours. i have a question. which is the minimum pressure required from a pressure washer for wet blasting and remove rust and paint from old cars? thanks in advance

[@markc8602]

Would that high pressure sandblaster be powerful enough to remove paint?

[@austinniemela]

I have not tried it for that! It may but would be slow I'm sure

[@genxiong2695]

Man. This is not for the weekend DIY warrior that's for sure.🤣

[@princenoah21]

Say, maybe in a future project, you could put a 4.3 V6 (from a Chevy S10) into a 1990 Toyota? XD

hello Excellent explanation and thanks for sharing your knowledge. I need to change oil in my 98 manual 4x4 tacoma, I went to the agency and they only gave me 80w90 oil and they said that it applied for differential, transmission and transfer, I ask you, is that correct? Thank you very much for your comment

[@j.a.8970]

Forgive my ignorance, what transmission is that?

[@austinniemela]

R150F

[@josjamar4500]

You are a very smart person.....great.

[@markwoodlief6522]

What’s the torque on bell housing bolts to the transmission it’s self not to the motor adapter

The transmission works 100% fine but you are completely dismantling it because you are what bored?lol Sorry old mechanic of 30 plus years here I guess I would have done this when I was young and still gave a 💩🤷‍♂️ Well done man nice trucks.

That transmision is a R151F ?

absolutely love the builds, and the quality, and your abilities.. and for that reason I would HATE to hear or see something happen to you... specifically your eyeballs while you're using the press. witnessed a buddies eye brake when impacted by a chunk of cast iron. emergency surgery and stitches all over it saved him, but just barely. i don't want to sound like a safety nazi but when it comes to the press.. please:)
