Street Machine Drag Challenge 2021 Prep - Part 7 - TURBO FAIRLANE - The Transmission Is Out AGAIN!

[@roo0001]

Hey guys great work as always. The way i do them at work for the ford or any oil pan with no drain is to work for rom the back of car forward. So have the drain tray at the back and remove the bolts then as i work towards the front i slowly let them out as the pan drops. Should be abel to get nearly all except yhe front 3 without to much coming out. Then as u slowly loosent the front ones u can control how much the oil spills out. It get the bulk of the oil then just remove the last couple and there shouldnt be to much oil left and hopefully shouldnt spill as much. There plenty of ways to do it this just works for me, also a bigger container or tray may help with less mess.

[@2874mattm]

That's how it's done.

[@blakesautomotive]

I dunno bout you guys but I use a seal puller 😂

[@MrSamlyle]

Might have been an idea to drain as much fluid from the torque converter as possible. When you start it again the contaminated fluid from the converter will go through the rest of the transmission now.

[@HackshopGarage]

Yeah we did that, as much as we could anyways, not a lot came out

[@rcstuff574]

Top bellhousing bolts are easy with long extensions over the top of the box from the rear

[@anthonywhelan8373]

Check the converter for pin prick holes in any bronzing

[@tristanlockadventures2172]

Trick to the transmission is to weld a drain bung into the pan when you have it off for future oil changes

[@FuManchu5ltr]

Ouch

[@kylemunn2204]

When changing the transmission fluid by allways keeping the back of the pan lower then the front at all times undoing the bolts from back to front work your way around the pan so it tilts and you get to a point were you can tilt the pan wile still having the front bolts holding the front of the pan up and get most of the fluid out of the small lip of the pan making no mess

[@vigilante351]

I just changed my trans filter in EF on car ramps. I undid all but 3 at the front of box to begin with. Then gradually undid the remaining 3 so the pan ended being on an angle and titled to rear corner. And the fluid basically poured out of the rear corner into oil pan with no mess.

[@garethmcgregor1621]

Good stuff. You guys are great👍

[@shaunc8189]

Trans pans I always undo the front three then work side to side so the front comes down first and let it drain out as you undo the rest of the bolts 🤷‍♂️ still always makes mess tho 🤣

[@matthewazzopardi4105]

hey legends, My old man is a mechanic and the way he does a transmission service without washing the floor in the fluid is to start taking the bolts out in one corner and work your way out switching from side to side until you reach the last bolt in the opposite corner, be careful if the gasket isn't strong enough to hold the pan you might need to hold it so it doesn't drop and splash but work your way out until the last bolt is the one in the opposite corner to where you started and if the gasket is good you might need to give it a gentle pry with the screwdriver to break the seal while holding the pan and then let it down slowly with the drain pan underneath on the transmission jack or an oil drain pan if you boys have one and once it has drained mostly you can push it back up and while holding the pan, undo the last bolt and its off without a mess, keep up the great work boys, always excited to see a new episode each week

[@christopherorchard9734]

Hey lads, i always take them out one end working my way to the other and in a case such as this where the pan is slanted start at the thin end so all the fluid runs out and leave one in at the opposite end until it stops running out

[@BroomysGarage]

I remember when you put it in saying to weld a drain plug in the pan 🤣 won’t be the first time you’ll be dumping that fluid ! I have melted that nylon braided hose before same as you after just 3 short transbrake pulls with the fan not running. Spat the line out the fitting and 100+ psi of trans oil pressure makes a nice mess. Make sure the hose doesn’t physically touch the box as well, as they are a huge heat soak and can lead to that happening as well.

[@bossboily1276]

great vid that dash looks mad as said below to drop transengine fluid remove all bolts bar 2 at front and 2 at rear loosen all then remove rear 2 slowly loosen front rear of pan will drop down draining fluid no mess !! Also a must when fitting trans is check torque convertor run out bolt convertor to flexplate turn engine 360 check run out with DTI and adjust as required refit convertor to trans bobs your uncle

[@TheTeeroy32]

You guys have almost motivated me to change transengine fluid in my EL, nah but I will go and put my engine pipe back on lol.

[@FuManchu5ltr]

Love watching your videos more and more. Even recognised a road you drove on near Point Cook an episode or two back. Dad taught me to drive out there when I was 9 or 10 (early 80’s) and it was only farms and the base. Not a subdivision in sight.

[@pauls3585]

That Transenginefluid was nasty

[@fossilfuelenthusiast]

The trans will still leak. its the oil pump itself that usually leaks not the converter seal :(

[@fossilfuelenthusiast]

10/10 for my prediction :(

[@aaronhogan2371]

Love the longboi longtime

[@geoffmiles3765]

Always lube your seal with rubber grease boys, saves the new seal. Keep up the content👌

[@chrisbanfield1202]

Great content guys keep up the good work transenginefluid

[@stevievz]

Hi enjoy watching you guys two thing it looks like the tailshaft loop is bolted together wrong. And when is the fairlane goin to get matching rims

[@jarrydbanfield842]

Hey guys i always leave one bolt in the corner of the trans pan and undo it slowly so it can leak all the fluid out of the opposite corner.. way less mess and easier to catch the fluid 👍

[@MrDattopet]

I put a drain bung on my pan

[@nextlevel1675]

Transengine Fluid

[@dybo418]

Nice work guys. The Haltech dash looks fantastic. Are the two remaining aftermarket gauges for monitoring the transenginefluid?

[@HackshopGarage]

Thanks mate, they will go once we get an oil pressure sensor wired into the haltech dash as they won’t serve any purpose anymore

[@SHOCKcustoms]

Gents, sensational content, as always. Lesson learned from many skids at summernats in 40+ heat... mount the trans cooler up front. The radiant heat from the road pavement in summer or even warmish melb weather will bar far hotter than the air passing through the front of the vehicle whilst moving. I moved my trans and fuel cooler up front, no more trans issues. Under the car regardless of thermo or not doesnt get enough cool air flow. Also, space your hoses. Dont cable tie them. Use another cable tie as a seperator as you would in plug leads. The heat in the hot line will heat up the return line. À few mm gap make a massive difference.

[@fossilfuelenthusiast]

I have often wondered about this

[@mwoods2062]

Hi guys when I do my trans service I use a small pump powered by the car battery and pump the fluid out first. Keep up the good work you make the best videos on KZbin.

[@shaggy271073]

Massaging , yess, beat it like a red headed stepchild !!!!

[@GerardBendotti]

not sure if rivnuts will hold if the tailshaft lets go. hope we never find out!

[@badstimpy]

Can also undo all trans pan bolts except back two - undo those as much as possible and tilt tray forward and drain much out / then bung a drain bung in the pan ! Also have a tube of toothpaste near the sink as it’s great to get that gear oil stank out of your dirty fingertips !! ( don’t ask how I know ) - tomcat urine on gear knob in my moke 🤮 !!!

[@glennman5619]

Transengine fluid 😂

[@Jaycruiser01]

Haha good on you guys that trick always works 5 years working in a wrecking yard I’ve picked up so cool tricks like that Chinzzinzing fluid

[@jaytonkin]

You got lucky Mitch Walks ripped me off 4 grand. Not only me 7 others on the same E-series Group. Yet to see the outcome.

[@Cme360]

Top vid as always guys love it transenezen fluid lol

[@matttirchett4295]

Tranzengin fluid!!!! Stupid question but wouldn’t you flip your trans cooler so the fans suck from the bottom of the car? Not from up towards the underbody Might help with heat issues. Later on.

[@richardpilla5524]

LHR tyre is on the Wrong side of the car. Rolling direction is for right side of car

[@_Lewie]

Weld in a drain plug will get your trnsnginfluid out next time you cook it. Or maybe look for a deep pan aftermarket one, holds extra fluid and likely comes with a drain plug already in it.

[@michaelnoyes4817]

as mentioned, weld/braze in a drain plug in 1 of the pan recesses, a noob question with the haltech dash, does it have a Speedo reading for rego, e.g. klm traveled since rego check??

[@HackshopGarage]

Hey mate, yeah it does have a Speedo reading and odometer too

[@Craigy82]

What mods have you done to the trans shifting wise/ solenoid control? Apologies if this has been explained previously

[@HackshopGarage]

Hey mate, it has an electronic fully manualised kit from shift kits Australia

[@Craigy82]

Awesome, thoughts and prayers go out to the BTR, my own is holding on for dear life also 😂

[@davidprasad290]

@@HackshopGarage is the box internals stock besides manual shift control box?

[@toni_zestino_aus]

There's still one problem..... It's not a manual 😜

[@toni_zestino_aus]

p.s: weld a drain plug to the pan of the auto

[@thewraith6360]

Wow that haltech IC7 install came out fantastic!

[@marcusheilbronn3055]

Hi fella's. Firstly Absolutely LOVE your content. Quick question........ what is that song at 20:52? I can't find it for the life of me, even Shazam doesn't know

[@markbithrey3635]

Great work you legends love the silly stuff you guys do each episode so entertaining and make sure you keep that TRANZENGINEFLUID clean

[@grahamball2913]

Leave front bolts in and take all the rear and side ones out. Slowly lessen front ones until fluid starts coming out. When it stops loosen some more.

[@dark-_-phantom-m8589]

I'd just get a pan with a drain in it like an oil pan.

[@mattmoore8545]

Well done again. Transengine fluid. Any reason you went a blue top optima instead of red or yellow? About to relocate my battery and was thinking red top. Just wanting to know your reasons for it. Keep up the good work boys

[@HackshopGarage]

Thanks mate, No real reason why, just went with something different

[@dragginballz4208]

weld a drain bolt into the pan

[@shaneobrien5310]

TRNZENGNFLUID from TRNZENGN-VANIA da-da!! (Sung to Rocky Horror Picture Show- sweet transvestite) Hah! Hah!! Great work fellas as always...............

[@eriqrosado3337]

Transengienoil The dash looked so good. Can't help with an idea for doing the trans filter cleaner. I drive standard. Really digging the format. I'm obviously new around here but I've found myself watching some of the older stuff and really enjoying some of the old jokes. Keep it up guys. You've got a watcher.

[@culpritmedia7026]

That dash install is sick. I'm so glad you didn't leave it backyard spec, the Fairlane deserved better. Great vid, as always. Glad you didn't get Transenginefluid all over yourselves.

[@jpstrim]

Haha legends! Always love the silly shit you boys get up to hahahaha Tranzengene fluids a new one as well 🤣

[@HazeyAuto]

Dash looks awesome, lads. TRNZENGNFLUID!

[@ltholmsy]

Race car life. Your going to do trans fluid alot Next time pans off. Weld in a drain plug

[@hqwoody327]

Transenginefluid is a factory option on the EL. Nah, looking good fellas. Really looking forward to seeing how you go at Drag Challenge.

[@alextrician4502]

👌👌

[@LawnPotato]

Pretty sure the trick is leaving the back row of bolts in loose and hang the front down to drain the transengine fluid, on a side note, why didn't you just pull the drain plug, or is that just a magnet not a plug.

[@floncaric]

tranengine fluid! is where its at, im actually about to service my trans so this was perfect cheerz boys always great watch! can you recommend the part number and fluid that was used for the service please :)

[@loueyhowell3796]

That trnzengnfluid is bloody horrible stuff!

[@JunIor-tj5cq]

Transengine fluid Remember the last 10% takes 90% of your effort

Trzaznzinjenoyl. I think that was a Albanian backpacker I once knew. Loving your work boys.

[@stephengaraway3243]

Those drive shaft kits are a nightmare iv found it easyer to make them from scratch

[@94surf]

Can't wait to see the beast at drag challenge!!! A wise old bush mechanic taught me to always use a new seal to keep my transenginefluid in.

[@scod3908]

always use a fresh rubber with your tranny
