Well have at it. I have over 300 of them for you to view. I killed this transmission case at RMRW on day 3 and rebuilt the transmission at the track. The video is under Rocky Mountain Race Week day 3. You'll enjoy the video. Thanks for watching.

WOW MAN.... You Got Some VERY HELPFUL KNOWLEDGE. Thanks Buddy

[@Burndown]

Its all form the book but I figured I would share with everyone!

[@Winkypop55]

Great Job! Can't wait for the next episode. : )

[@Burndown]

Thanks Biggie!!

[@usa2121]

nice job great delivery

[@Burndown]

Thank you!

[@degenspeedandfab2178]

Good stuff. You’re making automatics and specifically ‘glides look simple!

[@Burndown]

They are not too bad but they are all a little differnt so its not quite one size fits all.

[@martysheets6882]

Dane just every man Gearhead, you are a young man wait till you get all gray hair, you will have made lots of mistakes but think of all the things you have learned, I can write books on Gearhead things but I've learned a lot, and have a head full of gray hair.

[@Burndown]

Im not that young really. I have a few gray hairs on my head already. Im glad I built this because it gave me the confidence to try another transmission build here soon to build on what I learned form doing this one! Thank you for watching!

[@Dragracetherapy]

Love the hands on approach.... You're right....youll either pay someone else or pay to learn ..much like yourself id rather learn. Plus...never know when you can take that knowledge and turn it into a little side cash

[@Burndown]

Yeah its how I learn. Im a hands on guy and I will pick things up 10X faster if you just let me do it. Its coming together tho. Lets hope she holds some power!! -Dane

[@daryldavis4074]

I know I am late but I did not find the video showing how much you spent on parts and how much power will it hold. I am building a 700 hp Ls 6.0. Want a simple PG like you built. It’s drag only If parts were under a 1000 I might try myself. If they are over I will take it to build lol

[@Burndown]

Depending on what Planetary you have you can build a glide for less than 1k. It takes some effort and learning tho. The value comes from learning even if it cost a bit because you dont have to rely on anyone to do it for you. The cost to rebuild it with seals and clutches after you have good hard parts in it is cheap. If you call or go to BTEs website you can get a list of parts for your build. A TH400 is also a good transmission and you could probably just buy one ready to roll under 2k. I wanted to be able to fix my own stuff is why I went the route.

[@abdullax2739]

Well done, no one born as a professional, just do it, doesn't matter if fail coz u gonna learn.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊💯💯💯💯💯💯

[@Burndown]

I always find it funny when others like to criticize someone for learning or trying something new. I enjoy learning and am willing to try things I think I can do or seem reasonable. Thank you for the support! 👊

[@justme7055]

You picked a good trans to learn on. Powerglides are as simple as they come.

[@Burndown]

Thats why I wanted to do one. That and I feel like it can be done on the side of the road if I have to. Hope I dont tho🥴😆

[@lilpickleracing]

i know its a older video, but did you ever open it back up and put in the brass wedding ring for input shaft

[@Burndown]

Yes you need to run that. If I didnt show it you do need to install it. Sorry if i skipped that part but it was my first time building a transmission.

[@funfun8095]

I like to watch all your videos and subscribe. Is there anyway to minimize the camera movement? I get motion sickness watching them.

[@Burndown]

I will work on that for ya👍 Thank you for watching! -Dane

[@tonyjohnson9405]

On your outside seal, you can use a .015 feeler gauge between the seal and the housing. Just a little insurance to not cut the seal TJ

[@Burndown]

Thank you Tony! Its really cool when guys can reach out with good tips like this instead of trying to point out mistakes every time haha. This is a good tip. I will definably use it next go around!! -Dane

[@tonyjohnson9405]

@@Burndown Any time. I learned the same way. I bought a book from JW and a junk power glide. I couldn't afford to pay someone or buy one, so I taught myself and eventually started building for others. Great work, keep learning TJ

[@Burndown]

@@tonyjohnson9405 I will keep at it Tony. Thanks for watching and for the tip! -Dane

[@dforest8539]

You forgot the wedding band

[@kyleorsak]

are you on ls1tech?

[@Burndown]

No. Im on Sloppy Public on FB and Instagram.

[@paulbald2]

I think you are supposed to soak the steels and clutches in trans fluid before you put them together in the pack.

[@Burndown]

Yes you are 100 percent correct. I did actually do that the first time I put it together when I messed it up. I had the clutches soaking in transmission fluid for a little while before I assembled it.

[@jimmyp1870]

@@Burndown You don't have to soak the steels. Steel doesn't absorb fluid. You do need to set your clearances before you soak though. A set of calipers is the way to check clearance the easiest.

[@kyleorsak]

LMAO......"no one wants to go in dry"

[@Burndown]

🤣 Truth!

[@nazzcar7]

Tiny drill bits are the worst especially when they break inside of what you were trying to drill out in the first place 🤦‍♂️

[@Burndown]

Yep. Never fails.
