Chrysler Indiana Transmission Plant in Kokomo

[@Rajnoma]

This is indeed something for all of us Americans to be very proud of! It is so gratifying to see Americans at work in our greatest industry--automotive manufacturing!!

[@magnusatheos7301]

Great work on a great product folks.

[@rontreen3278]

The legendary torqueflite 727 from the early sixties to the late 70s was the best transmission of The Big Three

[@robc8468]

Yes the T/F 727 was the best automatic of the 1960s and 1970s and made automatics respectable for drag racing. The 8speed ZF based Transmission is also fantastic and can handle hellcat power levels and shift in microseconds and deliver great Hemi V-8 fuel economy to boot.

[@robc8468]

I am actually surprised how much hand work goes into the ZF transmissions also how relatively small the plant is as well.

[@marke8323]

This Plant is one of serveral Chrysler Plants in Kokomo and they are HUGE!

[@danrodrigues3531]

I do hope that the workers on the assembly line get to move around to different job positions from time to time to break the monotony of performing that one task that they're currently doing...

[@cruz1816]

My thoughts exactly

[@machinehead6892]

the recycling bins are for the new materials for building the transmissions i guess.

One thing about the human touch, they get a paycheck and pay taxes. Robots don't get a paycheck or pay taxes so the government will have to take from the few working people to pay for the lively-hood and pay their medical bills and food bills.

[@dhansel4835]

@Nonso Okonkwo That is call 'Fiat' money. Money is not backed by anything such as gold. You print too much of that and you will be like Venezuela, broke and your money not worth anything. The US is heading that way. It's so sad to watch a nation on the edge of collapse.

[@basketballjones6782]

Look at all the happy Chrysler employees building a Mercedes Benz transmission! Sweet!

[@marke8323]

All of the Chrysler Transmissions for all Cars and Trucks are made here, Delco Electronics also has a Plant here (First push button Automobile Radio invented here). Driving on 31 you can see the Semi's hauling the Liquid Aluminum (Hot) to the Plant. Good place to work, good wages and all of the Overtime you can stand! (I've not worked there but this is what I've been told...)

[@robc8468]

I am a retired manufacturing engineer and would never guess that it would be practical or possible to deliver Aluminum hot in liquid form by truck...amazing.

[@marke8323]

@@robc8468 I hear ya, it would seem to be more practical to process on site, especially with the volume they use everyday! We (Federal Mogul) used aluminum to make OEM/Aftermarket and Carter Fuel pumps on site, the 1st year at the 4th of July shutdown they shut off the Ventilation in the Die casting room and left the Hot Alluminum Melter Bath (I Forget the terms now) on... It ended up tripping the sprinklers directly on everything! Was quite a mess when the Fire Dept got there. We also made the Lights on the Postal carrier's vehicles (except for the headlights) Grumman LLV's that brings your mail. We also produced the "Signal Stat" Automotive lighting OEM/After market...

How many types of automatik transmis'n, cvt, dual cluch, iz there electric torque konverter

[@jimrusch22]

Is this the 8 speed ZF?

[@cotton123ful]

How come we can't buy a new transmission?

[@philmason654]

Well that’s ten minutes I’ll never get back.

[@masterblackmon]

Work so easy a child can do it.

[@carroll7110]

Looks like decades old equipment they are working with? I think most of this can be automated...

[@cooldog60]

As smart as you are you should start you own auto manufacturing co.

[@pkranz937]

Toughest transmission made by Chrysler. Now used only in the Charger Pursuit.

[@robc8468]

@Pepe The Impaler Like Hellcats and Heavy Duty Ram trucks.

[@abrargujar5870]

Mostly second gear fail in automatik transmis'n

[@haroonrashid851]

I seen the workers I m sure 50% transmissions will be fail

[@pkranz937]

Haroon Rashid The A580 is used in the Charger Pursuit, and has been very durable and reliable. If you have nothing to say, you should say nothing.

[@larryrestainer9949]

What part do you build or have knowledge of?. If not...please shut up and go away...

[@Mike-df1ye]

Haroon Rashid You use grammar like "I seen" and lousy punctuation and you want to be taken seriously with an estimate like that. Riiiiiight. The only thing I've seen fail in this video is your grasp of reality.

[@papabits5721]

Transmission built in USA for a vehicle made in Canada powered by a engine from Mexico

[@robc8468]

Welcome to NAFTA and USMCA......

[@alsnow30]

they are making 31.00 a hour and are far from what I see as skilled workers.. not machinist or welders and robots do about 50% of the work how much do they make a hour?? nobody seemed to be busting ass just a easy slow pace

[@NorthernCold]

keith rogers damn dude why you hatin?

[@cooldog60]

I worked in a stamping plant. I was not skilled trades. I would love to see you do my job with out any training.

[@larryrestainer9949]

I would suggest you try this work, before going off....repetive work takes a toll on the body...pay doesn't cure body aches and pains...God bless every production worker...

[@cooldog60]

He is probably just some dumb kid who never had a job.

[@dhansel4835]

If you haven't been to a restaurant today you can't buy plate lunch for $ 2.50. The dollar isn't' what it used to be. $ 31.00 per hour is a living wage. They have families to feed, taxes to pay. Robots don't pay taxes so it has to come from companies. People have to understand we are not living in the 60's any longer.
