Thanks for watching this video. There seems to be some confusion as to why I name bolts by their Hex size. I do this because it's an instuctional video and you may need to know what size wrench or socket to use for removal. Hope you enjoy my work around getting this unit apart.

[@mechpatt]

I really like the way you do that - after all, when the bolt is in the hole the only thing your interested in is what sized socket you use to get the bastard out!

[@GearBoxVideo]

Exactly

[@randalladkison7949]

I have rebuilt hundreds of standard transmissions and this was my first w58 and l have to say your video, procedure, and explanation is top notch. The transmission is so smooth and quiet the man thought l gave him a new one. Thank you for your wonderful video.

[@GearBoxVideo]

Appreciate the feedback

[@jdvideo2088]

"I don't know what they were thinking." I find myself saying the same thing on just about every repair I do. Thanks!

[@freestyleskyline]

Amazing video, very concise, very clear, informative and decently paced. I felt like I could follow along fairly easily and actually learn something

[@GearBoxVideo]

Thanks

[@madhatmassarani6]

It’s always a pleasure watching the master, mastering his craft. Awesome step by step for mechanically incline individual. Thanks Paul for all you do.

[@peterzinia3767]

Excellent tutorial. Just about every other video out there is based on this one. No need to go elsewhere because you won't learn anymore than this one will teach. Not knocking the other ones but this is the one to watch.

[@GearBoxVideo]

Thank you

[@ToyotaLEngine]

I like that using the tape to prevent the snap ring flying away.

[@rozellgabriel6299]

You make it look easy.

[@Veyron640]

hey Regular... you dissecting a very unique part of the automotive industry. Nobody is doing it, the way you doing it (with brains). u legend!

[@GearBoxVideo]

Thank you

[@Commodor221]

Ah, that's perfect. I have a w58 spare for my ma61.. I will open it and clean it because it has been stored for years and it's in rough condition.. thanks !

[@ibm_businessman6033]

Information goldmine! A True service to all gearheads, Thank you sir

[@GearBoxVideo]

Glad to help

[@trappedbyfire1537]

This is one of the Best Videos ever made.....Complete control and total comprehension. This demands some kind of award! Great!

[@MrClassiccarenthusia]

"But I'm going to show you a cool trick that you can try in your shop....." - Me: 🤔 slowly puts down 4lb hammer and cold chisel..

[@kacewhite4746]

I am currently prepping to crack the housing for my w58 open to flush the vintage sludge and old grease out from the gearset, and found this video perfect! will likely be rewatching this two or three more times mid process haha

[@AndyL940]

Thanks for posting this . I’m rebuilding a hilux gearbox very similar.Your video was very helpful . Greatly appreciated

[@GearBoxVideo]

Good luck!

[@elijahchikuku9543]

a clear and simple/straightforward explanation,its the best ive seen sofar

[@chrischristenson]

Great Video! Boy, does this bring back memories! The only other tips I can share is that 1) I used a die-grinder to quickly mark things before disassembly, like one-notch for rail one, two-notches for rail two, one-notch on fork for first gear & orientation, 3-notches on fork for 3rd, and same for the sliders, etc. 2) I would take cardboard from the transmission building kits and fold them like an accordion so I could quickly put the detent balls, interlocks, clips, bolts, etc., in order. I then can later clean them and place them back in order on a new folded cardboard to prepare for the reassembly.

[@TheMikeb52]

Great tear down vid. I have a w58 I’m about to tear down and convert to a triumph tr3 engine. Was told it was rebuilt recently so will prolly just split the cases and inspect initially. Looks like a pretty advanced tear down that I hope to avoid. Will rely heavily on part 2 if I do. Cheers.

[@gezefreitas]

By far the best videos on transmission you're gonna find on KZbin...

[@rbgosling]

Fabulous video! I used it to rebuild the gearbox from my Lotus Excel, I could never have managed without this video. Thank you!

[@GearBoxVideo]

You're welcome!

[@TheEZGZ]

I'm the guy who works on old air cooled VW engines and transmissions. It's doubtful that I will ever work on a toyota 5 speed but I try to watch all your videos because I always learn something new that I can apply to my work. Your editing and thought process is outstanding. I like the way you explain things. I like that you have to struggle and fumble with things. It just makes it real. Thanks for sharing what you do.

[@wkroutz]

vw bus , transmission is more complicated , this transmission is more simplified then the T2/T3 gearboxes

[@jamesbruno5896]

I learn so much every time I watch your videos, thank you Paul!

[@occamsrazor1285]

I'm liking this video and saving it to a playlist before I'm even two minutes in; pretty much anything from Paul is gonna be good.

[@andyphilpott6052]

A great & very helpfull video . I built my self a hydraulic press & supported the 5th gear & bearing & reverse gear on a section of bulldozer blade cutting edge on 100 x100 box section 100 mm long . With the press compressing the shaft i used a LPG torch to slightly heat the inner surface of the 5th gear & bearing & tapped the shaft with a brass hammer & bang, off it popped. Thanks for your help

[@SEILLC]

Awesome video! Good lighting, camera angles, explanations, no story-telling...perfect. Thanks for making it! I have a buddy w an early 90's Toyota P/U that slipping out of gears, he wants me to fix it. Not sure if its the same trans, but I'll be using this video as a guide.

[@GearBoxVideo]

Glad you liked it

[@chromezone4371]

Thanks for making the effort to show us this one Paul. Sometimes we have to think outside the box. The assembly will be grand!

[@PyroX515]

I wish I would have had this video when I rebuilt my w55 a few years ago. It was the first transmission I had ever rebuilt and this video would have saved me a lot of time and hassle. Thank you for putting this together

[@GearBoxVideo]

Glad I could help!

[@printerandscanner]

This is litterally the video im glad you uploaded. i own a 1984 supra/celica. hopefully ill never have transmission issues

[@lorenbonnell1155]

Very good video, you explain very well and you think outside the box and no BS. It's nice to see a real mechanic on KZbin. Question where do you like to buy your parts from for transmissions.

[@GearBoxVideo]

I sell parts. Look at the links in the videos!

[@ernestocervantes8825]

Awesome video thanks but when part 2 is coming out ?

[@ardisian]

Awesome, i didn't think you worked on these smaller trans'. I rebuild T50's for the ae86 toyota corolla in my area and for my team. Love learning more about rebuilds. Keep it up!

[@dancook1968]

Love your videos! Thanks for posting this one! Looking forward to the conclusion. You have definitely inspired me to tear down my own W55 trans!

[@yaarge2]

Don't have any auto mechanic skills myself, but this is very satisfying to watch 👍

[@GumbootsOnBackwards]

This was great. Thank you so much for making this video series.

[@docfischer7291]

Super 5 baby ! Had a ‘82 Toyota Supra with a 383ci. SBC. If you didn’t do anything stupid it would last a long time . Very strong design. Great videos . Very informative and appreciated !

[@GearBoxVideo]

Its a very well designed and precise gearbox

[@JlerchTampa]

That is a somewhat complicated teardown, made even more difficult by video documenting it, Awesome effort, great content, and it is very much appreciated!

[@filename3094]

Really well filmed and edited. Nice work.

[@andrewk778]

Very good tip about tape on the snap rings. Thank you for sharing.

[@allutch5977]

AMAZING TEARDOWN 👍👏👏👏👏👏

[@t5montecarlo]

Thanks for inviting me for lunch, Paul. I hope I didn't get in your way. The tear down and explanations were spot on. Your 5th gear removal idea was perfect. Thanks again for the tutorial.

[@endeavour2127]

Very informative video! Thank you for sharing your valuable knowledge!

[@steveflor9942]

Your videos are always great. Thanks so much for sharing your expertise. Kind regards from sunny SoCal

[@jeanjacqueslenair7371]

Very well very good explanations. Thanks

[@mechanicmotorvehicle7083]

Very good demonstration sir. Very useful to train my Trainees. Thank you.

[@Ademann]

You are the best! I like this job!

[@chhullinger]

Your videos are fabulous. I'll feel comfortable doing this job myself after watching the video.

[@GearBoxVideo]

Please let us know had it worked out

[@tonipitesa1427]

It's nice to see a different gearbox, because I be mostly do the Fiat gearboxes, thanks for video!!!!!!

[@Otto_Factory]

Awesome video, didn't get mine apart this far but nice to know if I ever have to replace anything I know the few tricks this thing has 👍👍👍

[@douglasgallardojr4759]

Excellent instructional!

[@GearBoxVideo]

Glad it helped

[@kato1140]

Thanks for this vid Paul ,great help as I am about to rebuild my W56.Wish you had a book on these as you do on Muncie's, book is invaluable to me !!!!

[@dezertraider]

THANK YOU SO MUCH,,,I STILL RUN A 1987 4RUNNER AS SEEN IN MY PROFILE PICTURE,,YES,THAT IS BONNEVILLE SALT FLATS WHERE I WAS A TRACK STEWART FOR LAND SPEED EVENTS..I LIKE THIS TO BE MY LAST BUGGY,AND HAD NO CLUE WHAT I WOULD DO IF I HAD TRANSMISSION TROUBLE..YOUR VIDEO WAS A BIG HELP...STAY WELL

[@GearBoxVideo]

Thank you

[@turkraja255]

since saw you with Eric the Car Guy, I am huge fan of your quality.

[@GearBoxVideo]

Thank you

[@danielsimpson8929]

Great tear down. Thank you!

[@alejandradenizphotography]

Hi Paul, I remember seeing you on EricTheCarGuy’s channel and saw the whole series with the mustang T5 rebuild, I was instantly hooked on your presentation and information and subscribed to your channel that same time period. I really enjoy watching your videos and learning! btw just saw your latest hurst shifter video but started watching this one right after and felt like commenting here lol. Thank you for your hard work and bringing us along too! Cheers from NY 👍🏼

[@GearBoxVideo]

Thanks a bunch for subscribing and watching the vids.

[@unclequack5445]

I watch this stuff for hours I like gear boxes....

[@emilioperdomo3827]

I really enjoyed this video. Very informative. And I subscribe

[@rcdudes123]

Really enjoyed the vid! Toyota only uses 12mm :) Loved the paper towel and tape tip!

[@austinsheets3504]

awesome video this was a nice guide to rebuilding my transmission at home.

[@0x33_Uk]

Awesome video, very informative.

[@christopherpappas7474]

I am not the mechanical type but, I enjoy watching you work on these transmissions and am learning a lot... Not that I would ever try to take one apart:) Well, maybe but only one that I knew was not going to go back together...:)☮🙃

[@garyweber7139]

SUPER HELPFUL, Thanks.

[@Mr_jz_12]

Found this video really interesting. Love these videos. Have you done a r150 or r154?

[@SvcGlobal]

Would love to see any transaxle disassembly being done here, thanks. As usual, another great video, Paul, keep coming. :)

[@MrDingaling007]

That was epic! many thanks for this, i have 3x W52's to rebuild (same box different ratios, used in the toyota hilux here in Australia). I suspect this video will get a lot of views as it draws in the toyota guys.

[@Lavos1999]

Thanks for making this. I hope you one day get a s2000 transmission or something with a secondary reduction like it. I would love to see how they work.

[@JoseLopez-lb5qm]

Good job. Thanks God bless you

[@mb7a4fmlg]

Thank you for your help.

[@kkzulupro.1102]

Thanks a lot for the idear being posted I HV now understood what to be done ❤❤❤❤

[@calholli]

Man.. That tape on those clip rings to keep them from getting lost is pretty damn clever... I would usually have a gallon milk jug cut in half to try and catch it... It would usually work, but it's a pain to get set into place sometimes....... nice tip. I'm gonna remember that one. Great video, quality is top notch... I rebuilt (replaced syncros) my transmission in my 2002 7.3L Ford diesel.. was ZF650 6speed manual... I just dove in without knowing anything about it.. I found a PDF service manual on a ZF650 online but it was out of a GM diesel, not Ford... but it was close enough to get me through the build... It was basically the exact same except maybe the input and tail shafts (or something, don't quote me.. I dont' remember what all was different, if anything).. It called for a $500 long armed puller (like 24", 2 arms).. which I was not gonna buy.. so we whipped up some scrap metal and a 3/4" all thread rod and built one.... I figured it was gonna be all we needed ... but no, of coarse we needed a press.... So I found a new 32ton bottle jack and we built a basic press with some large I-beams and angle iron.... I didn't have those plate clamps like you do at the press..... All we had was 1/2" plates..... and there was a point where we had to pull 3 giant gears all at once, and it took everything that 32 ton jack could press... I had to get a cheater bar to even pump the jack. The press was creeking and popping and then it finally popped off all at once. super sketchy- but I didn't break anything; it's been working for years since then (the reassembled trans-- and the press for that matter). Probably not the best trans to cut your teeth on.. It's the first transmission I've ever pulled apart. It felt pretty risky but it paid off... Love the vids man.. Keep pumping them out..>> the payback will still be coming long after you retire... Have a body of work like yours in a large library of videos like this just keeps growing over time. big fan.

[@TowGodEastBay]

Very well done informative video ,Thank You Sir

[@mikethemike6406]

Very educational, thank you!

[@GearBoxVideo]

Glad it was helpful!

[@anthonywendt5834]

nice. been waiting for you to do one of these

[@johnny2tone1]

Never did I think this trans would be on here.

[@lukepaki7231]

Thanks great video 👍😄

[@ufartface]

makes you appreciate the simplicity of the t5

[@hendrikbezuidenhout9912]

Exelent love the videos. I know these boxes are pritty strong even behind a small block chevy. the only gear that dont last is 5th. is there a way to beef it up?

[@miguelsontay280]

Great job Master 👏

[@GearBoxVideo]

Thanks!

[@Juan-ic5wv]

Great video

[@endalemekonnen9069]

true teacher

[@BrianVerboort]

In the middle of an AX 15 teardown with my 17 yo daughter. Her 93 Jeep YJ has been treated poorly and it needs some love.Any chance you are planning a video on this gearbox anytime soon? hoping to getworking on my CJ T5 with a blown 3rd gear soon after. Always find your videos interesting and insights valuable! Great work Paul.

[@jimc6481]

Paul....Awesome video sir!...very well done. Good short cut on getting the 5th gear off, never thought about removing the cluster or counter shaft without pulling 5th gear and reverse gear first, excellent idea sir. When do you think you can post a reassembly video of the gearbox?... Very well done Paul, much appreciated sir. ( waiting on Part 2 !! )...Thx, Jim

[@GearBoxVideo]

Coming soon. About 1 week

Great Video Paul. Tons of Info. Btw my hammer is a little soft too!!

[@hermanjoseph7611]

Master class

[@mattmisanthropy.]

Very interesting stuff. I'm waiting for part 2 though as I have a W58 that I'm wanting to put back together. I bought what I assumed was a MK4 Supra (iron centre support) W58 that the previous owner had the direct shift casing installed to suit their build (turns out, it's only the alloy centre support, weaker version). I'm currently trying to fit a remote shift mount to it but the bearing seems too be too big for the hole in the casing, so the casing isn't mounting up. I just wanted to know if I'm doing something wrong or the bearings are just different sizes in the iron centre support W58s

[@infernalforms3613]

amazing video, thank you so much!!!

Do you have a video on a Ford M5R1 manual transmission? I didnt see one, but im about to try to fix it myself. I have been watching your videos and have learned so much. Thank you. Everyone wants more to rebuild the transmission than the trucks worth. She has been a great truck, im not giving up on her. yet..
