Complete Powerglide Build

We rebuild the powerglide transmission from start to end. I usually sell these on my website,but i have decided to release them to the public.Enjoy!

[@rebelfromva]

Great video. About to build up my stock glide so this is definitely informal.

[@ShelbysGT]

So the build starts… with the Transmission completely disassembled… first step start drilling holes. 👍🏽. Great video

[@claudel7419]

Très expliquer merci ! Ala prochaine transmission Un esugession pour acheter kit pour payer glde ? Merci

[@stantharp4498]

we rebuilt a 1969 powerglide and everything works great except ,,It doesn't shift into HIGH ! Any ideas what we missed ??

[@BrianSwayne]

Get a 300 psi pressure gauge and check pressures. Google instructions or you tube. Sounds like clutches in drum not applying.

[@6xcchamber971]

I am not using a trans brake so will drilling out the rear piston apply hole as you did still be needed or is it a wast of time and.... do I need the heavy duty springs and retainer as you did with this one?? Really appreciate the time you have put into these videos, Thank you!!

[@BrianSwayne]

No you don't need any of that.

[@edwardtruszkowski3172]

I have a power glide with .you push it and the motor will start

[@BrianSwayne]

Yes it has a rear pump also.

[@Spudderr]

Best video on here for setting up a race glide. Thank you. between a book I bought and this video I’m confident I can set one up well now.

[@BrianSwayne]

good luck!

[@Spudderr]

Brian Swayne another question after the pump is modified how much line pressure does it typically make?

[@BrianSwayne]

@@Spudderr The pressure is regulated by the pressure regulator spring in valve body. The mods just give better flow of oil. Typically 200 psi with modified spring.

[@Spudderr]

Brian Swayne again thank you. Do you sell any parts online?

[@BrianSwayne]

[@gearheadmafia2112]

I see you put a 91 thousands bushing on pump for starters but how do you measure to see if it is correct

[@KobaBlack113]

Pass time in the background 👍🏿

[@kevin_nagle]

This is probably one of the most in-depth glide assembly videos, although you didn't include installing the pump... it stopped after you installed the band

[@BrianSwayne]

There are multiple vids with the powerglide.

[@djrowe10]

I have bought all of swyane racing videos over the years and he makes great instructional videos! Go to his site for building Th400 transmissions too. Thanks for helping out us home builders Brian! 👍

[@BrianSwayne]

Your very welcome. Thats why i do them.

[@brendanmalone2400]

Top information. Thanks Brian

[@TylerTicklesTigers]

i have a powerglide out of a 66 chevelle. been sitting for 12 years now only goes in park. worked fine before hand. any ideas?

[@BrianSwayne]

I would say after sitting that long all seals will be rock hard. You can reseal with a gasket and seal kit.

[@donaldparbus9094]

The check valve is in the hole next to the cooler check valve probably at the 7ocock spot. It presses into the stator side and has a matching hole in the pump body to clear it.

[@BrianSwayne]

That is the downshift timing valve. Not needed.Pull out and discard.

[@VRMN8R]

Thanks for another great video. Very informative.

[@BrianSwayne]

Your welcome.

[@donaldparbus9094]

Excellent thanks. Your video is awesome

[@BrianSwayne]

Thanks 👍

[@steves759]

Thanks for the video. Just a thought you might include a link to your website in the video description so we can get to it fast. :)

@@BrianSwayne Sorry to hear that. I don’t Facebook. But thanks anyway.

[@Russworld1]

Are the pump modifications for drag racing or would they be ok for circle track also.

[@BrianSwayne]

They will work for anything. Just gets more fluid to were it's going

[@Russworld1]

Thank you good to know.

[@johndienst3194]

How about a tear down video. ????

[@BrianSwayne]

There is a disassemble video on page.Are u talking stock case.

[@lewisedward9799]

I'm still scratching my head over the burnout video. I can't get the gist of it.

[@BrianSwayne]

Not sure what your referring to.

[@lewisedward9799]

@@BrianSwayne Do you let off the throttle when you come out of the water? DO you shift to high during the burnout?

[@BrianSwayne]

Roll in the water get tired wet. Roll to the edge of dry pavement,stop do burnout when you feel them hook let of,your ready.

[@lewisedward9799]

@@BrianSwayne Got it! Thanks Brian.

[@donaldparbus9094]

what do you do with the tall stand up check valve, I think it's for converterdump.

[@BrianSwayne]

Not sure what your talking about. Can you tell me where on video you are talking about.

[@geerbangr]

What assembly lube do you use?

[@BrianSwayne]

You can use vasoline but i use a transmission assembly lub.

[@geerbangr]

Name of trans lube?

[@BrianSwayne]

@@geerbangr ATP or lube guard
