How NOT to change your transmission fluid

[@Idk-rz8pr]

That floor jack move nahhhhh never seen that bro the amount of time I could’ve saved on my bmw with that thank you for the video 🙏🏼

[@ChrysGaines]

just be careful because you can put a lot more force through that than by hand - so if things snap they can go flying, or round off bolts!

[@Safewoood]

​@@ChrysGaineshaha lifted my car a couple inches once before i cracked a bolt loose, somehow didnt snap tho so worked out great.

[@Alexander_l322]

@@Safewooodyea I’ve lifted a car doing this and it nearly didn’t end well

[@joetroy2904]

I thought of it at 2 am before I went to bed after my impact failed to remove some exhaust bolts. Works like a fucken charm every time

Laying down under your car to catch a breath is unbelievably relatable 😂😂

[@Mike-we3rb]

I almost fell asleep lying in 95 degree weather under my car once while doing suspension work

[@Dnasty1]

I sometimes bring a neck pillow down there with me when I’m working.

[@Lopezfam210]

Yup done it plenty of times 😂

keep going, these are so relatable as someone who also works on my own vehicle, love the genuineness of the videos, doesn't feel like I'm watching a Hollywood production

[@MrHenry-vb3cr]

Laying down on the floor after the fluid ran out, i felt that

[@VodaOverMinD]

Man you're so genuine I love it. You're the uncle Noel of shitbox community. Showing the car game how it is. Pain in the a, but we love it for some reason.

[@ChrysGaines]

appreciate it 🙏🙏🙏 just out here showing the struggle so the finished product is that much more satisfying!

[@freeloader024]

Well if it needs transfluid to the point it's making noise you need a new trans anyway

[@LightsaberGoBrrrrrr]

Nahhhh throw some Lucas transmission fix in and keep sending it

[@medicine5691]

The best part of owning a sh box is when it comes time to fix something expensive I just scrap it and something that would have cost 3 gs now cost 800

[@Rurik_Luci]

At the shop one of the guys I work with is a former military mechanic. One day he had an issue like this. Came back after two hours with a giant nut and a scissor jack and welded then together so the handle can't slip off. Then he took the ugga dugga to the sissor jack.

[@scottallen6227]

I have *two* giant nuts.

[@stevetischler5910]

Innovative approach with the jack

[@ryanred5724]

The quick nap during the 4hours "20min" job is too real

[@migael92]

Finaly some home mechanic on YT, I can relate to. Some how the easy 15 min - 30 min jobs never go as planned, trips to store, cursing and busting nuts seem to be very common. At least in my experience.

[@LightsaberGoBrrrrrr]

It’s probably because you live in the rust belt. I have the same problem and can’t relate to southern folk or ppl in Cali who work on cars. Totally different animal

[@thousandstar]

godlike editing

[@ChrysGaines]

🙏🙏🙏

[@EpicManaphyDude]

ay bare minimum you got fluid comin out 😂 with my luck that drain plug would’ve ctrl alt deleted itself

[@CrashOverride777]

It was a lot of metal in that fluid

[@jasonmurawski5877]

3rd is shredded of course there’s metal in the fluid.

[@ZoltanHercules]

“New skillset unlocked” Floor Jack to the rescue

[@SmokeShow.23]

Recently purchased a winter car… scooped a 2019 ford flex Ecoboost with 39k miles. Installed a tune and the tranny started jerking when shifting from 1st to 2nd gear. Did some research and found out that Ford sells their vehicles with low transmission fluid straight from the factory. Even newer vehicles, for example the Explorer ST’s. I drained the transmission fluid and sure enough it was nearly 2 quarts low. Fluid was black! Can only imagine how fantastic it will be in getting that transmission serviced in a few years once I put some miles on it. I plan on changing the transmission fluid again by 60k.

[@tanishaslater9305]

This was my entire day yesterday!!!!!

[@roadwarrior144]

The Naked Gun 33 1/3 reference was LIT!!

[@LSFord]

Just some thoughts. If it gets higher with wheel speed it can’t be clutch or anything in the front of the trans. But still. Just replace the clutch and throw out and pilot bearings with the trans like you said do it once

[@kindnessisthecure5933]

That video was hilarious and extremely coherent!!!!! ❤🙏😭

[@zake881]

This was how my attempt went, except I still couldn't get it undone 🤣

[@tOSdude]

Only time I’ve had to pull the floor jack move was changing my inner tie rods

[@rickybobby3684]

It seems like everytime I get a short from you you're working on the BMW lol

[@ox.the.hellbull]

Is there already patent on that move with the car jack? Asking for a friend. I'm soooo gonna use that

[@austinhernandez2716]

Not having room for that plug, the struggle is real. That's what I gotta do tomorrow... I gotta go get me a 24mm shallow socket.

[@salohcin5702]

I'm aGM tech and I know we have to measure fluid level with the engine on in neutral while checking the temp. So it could have been overfilled

[@DominiAeternum]

Why neutral?

[@salohcin5702]

@@DominiAeternum because in park the transmission is virtually off with no pump. With it in neutral the pump is on and circulating fluid to all accessories. There is roughly 8 quarts in the transmission assembly then another 8 quarts in the lines and coolers. In park you are only checking what has fallen back to the transmission. Thank you for your question!

[@johnathangreay987]

I like the way he waits for the fluid to drop. Lol.

[@seagie382]

Did you not check that as soon as you noticed slight transmission issues???

[@blap9467]

Bro wtf that move you did with the jack ☠️☠️💀💀😂😂😂

[@octilos_the_dum1935]

Yanno, finally seeing someone struggle because someone just HAD to use an impact, i know get why my old man always told me hand tight plus a quarter or eighths turn if you don't have a torque wrench

[@andru12qw]

Love these shorts!

[@Furbabiezzz]

I’ve always wanted to do that jack trick but I never use jack stand lol 😅

[@zajxperia3983]

This bolt held almost as well as an alternator belt tensioner bolt on my daily Corolla, I even got myself a pipe for leverage and wasn't able to get it to move xd

[@hiiamyou8847]

I have found that it is sometimes better to hit the brakes bar with the palm of your hand it does the trick most times

[@kyleswain9412]

I did tge exact same thing the other day it got in my hair, on my face and everywhere, still doesn’t make sense that it cane out of the fill, unless the car was jacked up all booky

[@Chunkofbrass]

aw damn😂😂

[@ChrysGaines]

it iissss wut it isssss

[@BlazingFaith1945]

I hear a trick is to tighten the bolt after loosening it. Repearing this procedure will help with seizing

[@Izaiahhhhhhhh]

this is so funny im subbing 😭

[@AHDBification]

Seeing that steel/atd mix come out... Nah, she done.

[@rozhshaikhani8899]

Im currently on my 14th transmission in 2 years (getrag) transmission cost 50$ in iraq😂

[@JacketCK]

Do you just not have a Blow torche? That thing is probably rusted on, blow torche it then grab a couple ice cubes and cool it down fast, thermal expansion takes care of the rusting issue

[@isiahhenrickson3905]

Can you do a vid of the sound where you can hear it

[@disastreee]

brooo shot pilot bearing is just a supercharger tbh mines been like that for 2 years

[@kennethmay6343]

Is that black color bad? I want to know what color to look for to judge good vs bad fluid is it reddish when good?

[@iraperry-taft6725]

I don’t understand how the jack loosened the bolt, did it force to to twist?

[@Shitopia539]

broken? that is bmw's natural state 😂

[@Patrick-bu4vq]

Like westen Champlin said to what the torque spec is: What is the torque of your impact?

[@alex_marshall_]

It couldn't be the pilot bearing or the throwput bearing. If it was the pilot bearing then the whine sound could be more of a growl sound and it wouldn't get louder with wheel speed, it would get louder with engine speed. And the throwout bearing would only make noise when the clutch pedal is being pushed in

[@ChrysGaines]

yea i recently learned that the trans input shaft bearing can cause noise like that. if this thing really has 250k miles on it and has obviously been abused, then the new trans should solve all my problems 👍🏾

[@user-kb7pg9ip2e]

Always buy pb blaster never lets me down

[@mandavaler]

Least ypurs runs mines been fown for 6 years since i bought it every part replaced helped me find another part that was broke and ive given up. 😃

I always set my Rachet up and then use my leg to push it open

[@drewpace4580]

My dad always told me to use the right tool for the job

[@jaycalibre609]

So just for clarity... it didn't need fluid? Or did it have too much?

[@kacperkawala]

Sounds ur diff needs rebuilding or replacing my man!! Had that whine issue on my 6MT 07 e90 and mechanic said if it keeps getting worse it could seize and blow up

[@dr.bright8020]

With how little transmission fluid is in that pan, chances are you definitely gonna need a new transmission anyway. Especially if you were driving it around with it being that low.

[@Bleazy710]

That fluid looked silver ://

[@Yvola]

Mine whines, it doesnt stop with the clutch, you can feel it through the shaft

[@cameron4017]

That’s where the fuck my whine is holy shit I’ve ripped it apart twice thinking it was an intake issue but good thing I’m upgrading from getrag to zf

[@Overcharge1]

It's alright just a bit of shop grout and it's good as new

[@chrisbraid2907]

That stuff leaking out is normally what the torque converter needs to run properly …

[@Shikadi297]

Did it work?

[@EL_CASSE7991]

I love it nice advice fam went thought same s@$$=

[@drewpace4580]

I think an air impact or breaker bar would have been a better choice than a hammer and a jack

[@ChrysGaines]

I don't have an air impact or compressor, and I used the jack ON a breaker bar lol

I wish that cars could heal it self

Was definitely low/burnt fluid LOL

that's because you didn't use lube. there's a reason why it's literally name Water Displacer-40, that's all it does...

[@justinkaufman495]

Why is it every car I buy is like this. People really loctite the bolt holding in the most commonly broken part of the car then tourqe them bitches down to 480 lb-ft careful to soak the bolt in water the night before putting it back on so it rusts on there good and proper, then turn around and sell it without bothering to mention that shit. 4 cars I've been through like this 😂

[@EatDATPossey445]

That was not enough fluid coming out 💀

[@levitvillanueva8218]

So did that help ?

[@Joe_JesusWins_Lewis]

Bro, those column floor jacks are incredibly dangerous! Rid yourself of them!

[@masondipple2650]

And why is that. While I agree every floor Jack has the potential to be dangerous, he still has a regular floor Jack under it. Though I would personally use stands…

[@Markus12Valvetwitchtv]

But wd40 is a water deterrent, get real lube, works so much better, I did it and didn't need a breaker bar

[@RocketcatLeeloo]

WD 40? Never....

[@banger881]

Your transmission fluid and filter if it has any needs to be changed every 40 to 50k miles my friend owns 2015 Honda Civicb si over 100k the transmission clutch still shift normal for stock shift car I did oil change for him twice already and it was driven extremely hard he is not a normal driver 😂 that transmission is going to last him minimum 200k miles

[@addisonherbert6686]

Manuals and their running low on tranny fluid. After 18 years and 300,000 my trucks tranny hasn't leaked a drop
