[@motomigsofficial]

There was no insane freedom warning in the title, so I nearly passed out when I saw that pull

[@fakealexstrong]

Moto Migs I thought it was just me!!!

[@jasontomlinson618]

Sam here brother, gotta put a freedom trigger warning

[@doughopkinsjr]

Awesome comment....need more than a thumbs up

[@atomrigdon7739]

Your not alone

[@rodkluth7935]

yep damn that 2nd gear was hot lol

[@Boostedm3nace]

I’m getting this same built transmission! It’s being built by RPM now! It’s a lvl 7 w/ straight cut 1-4 and synco 5&6. I came back to watch this video again and i can’t wait!

[@CleetusM]

That intro has some of the best boost/racecar sounds I’ve ever heard.

[@nxt_sean1168]

Cleetus McFarland hell yeah brother

[@chefisnotfat]

Murica

[@gqh007]

Two words: Bald eagles

[@mattslawncare5651]

Naysean Traylor Devlin I'll second that with another hell yeah brotha!!!!

[@Gearbhall]

Now the real question, how much would that transmission cost us mere mortals?

[@elworm0]

"a little bit noisier than usual" has open v8 turbo headers in front of his face

[@joshuagooden4212]

Hell yea brother can't wait to see that thing on the drag strip I think you're going to be hitting 7s soon

[@normnielsen]

7s, here we come!!! Some of my favorite videos and the ones going for faster passes, and I think the missing piece is now in place. The fastest big channel KZbinr?!.....

[@gordowg1wg145]

Sweet, man - with a bit of practice, clutchless upshifts with a slight lift and double clutching downshifts will become as natural as a syncro' is now. What you may find a bit of a problem with is breaking loose on the up-shifts as it is as savage on the tyres and transmission as dropping the clutch after each shift.

[@thirtyeight92]

That sounds insane

[@natevesey8269]

EefamDaTuytle Sound like a supercharger

[@bgd73]

glad to hear some noise.. an old saying. the silence is violence in the manual trans.

[@ulrik99]

EefamDaTuytle dogbox sound

[@Avetho]

Mandate that all hybrids must be rear drive, and they all must have a launch gear, line lock, launch control, and a 2 step rev limiter. And they all must be V8, gotta remember that, men!

[@Avetho]

455 stage-1 I am confused at this act of sudden bandito aggression. A V8 hybrid is the best of both worlds, American muscle V8 rumble and power, plus instant torque of American battery and motor technology. It's all American, there's no problem with it.

[@wyattmac9701]

Gordon Schmitz hell no brother

[@zakibendaoud1890]

best youtuber in his category . he clearly does it with passion .

[@alanwrobleski]

I would really like to see an "evolution of leroy" video with footage of every pass he's made on the drag strip, gradually getting faster in each clip

[@jarid9892]

Alan Wrobleski yessssss

[@TheCrazyFPS]

You mean getting slower since that’s technically what he’s done (until he gets this on the track)

[@robertgowins5086]

Yessssssssss

[@joshr8680]

That would be even crazier present day.

[@projectgattago]

I have a faceplated transmission in my Cougar. I also had one in my LS6 powered RX7. Be mindful of the 3-4 shift. If you are not careful, and accidentally pull it into 2nd instead of 4th, it will go in, and then bad things will happen. Mostly to your engine. Ask me how I know :-/ Also, if you want to get it to go smoothly into 1st gear, put it in 5th gear first. That stops the mainshaft from rotating and it will go silently into 1st gear.

[@projectgattago]

Jake Heke I know, because I have done it. And as a result, I mechanically over revved the engine and bent a few valves.

[@southjerseysound7340]

Its a common mistake and makes for some interesting noises when it happens.My cousin roasted about $7 grand when he did it and he's been racing stick shift cars for almost 20 years.

[@southjerseysound7340]

Jake you know you've done it because the motor will over rev instantly to like 10k+ rpm's and it'll practically throw you through the windshield because the drive wheels will pretty much lock up instantly,not to mention all the fucked up noises it'll make ;-)

[@SpikeJonesTheCr0oked]

projectgattago The money shift.... Ouch

[@southjerseysound7340]

It happened while street tuning the car.I was in the passenger seat logging everything when it happened ;-)

[@flyingmunk8956]

The quest for 7's baby seems to be getting closer. Can't wait to see a good hit on the strip with the new trans configuration

[@davesracingchannel9261]

flying munk89 Would you Please give my racing channel a Subscribe I have plenty of videos for you to enjoy

[@flyingmunk8956]

Daves Racing Channel I will gladly check it out after work

[@bobbybreland2169]

Anyone else getting all these OG Leroy videos in your feed? This is sick

[@joelmichotjr97]

When your co-workers don't understand why you yell do it for Dale....

[@tannermarlow6871]

Joel Michotjr sounds like you need some new coworkers

[@gulfcitynd]

Joel Michotjr they drive priuses i bet you dont need to worry about them

[@SurgicalSlasher]

They've never appreciated the bald eagles

[@68camaro86]

I passed a co-worker who has a dale edition Monte Carlo SS... but sadly doesn't know how to do it for Dale. I had to explain to him today why he got passed in a turn lane. He was also informed he needs to let 'er rip tater chip.

[@anthonycarpenter9662]

Joel Michotjr I fly on the Dale Jet every year to seminars for work and the flight attendant had no idea what I was talking about. But she says senior hired her back in the day.

[@whereisdave]

Cletus, i stumbled across your videos about a year ago, and ive been hooked ever since. you come across as one of the most genuinely excited person. i love your enthusiasm. its infectious and it makes me feel like im on this journey with you. Your videos are awesome. you and cooper as smashing this. i always look forward to the next installment Keep up the good work both of you.

[@Fizzer99]

Take Leroy to the Hoonigan garage!

[@Pitmaster4Lyfe]

Fizzer_Garage That would be the best Daily Transmission EVER!!

[@Kearonsherwin]

I agree

[@leonkozyarsky7085]

He has to teach them how to do 6 gear burnouts

[@bfdtyper]

Hoonigans and Cleetus are gonna both be at LSFest, right? Maybe he can be one of the Moblie DT's!

[@MrMatt713]

From Florida to Cali?

[@stephenwayant2790]

Just watching this in Jan 2022. Awesome seeing how far everything has come so far in just a few short years

[@FIREPHOENIXX234]

Can you make a short [technical] video about what a faceplated gearset does ? I know about straight cut gears and a dogbox but I never heard faceplated

[@JarHeadX18]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZ_KiXqonJuMZ9Um45s Check this. This should be pretty much the same.

[@denisohbrien]

it is a style of dog box.

[@mikewest712]

Joe cmon now, you ever met an engineer that you trusted?

[@AMac1978]

It's not a dog box trans but I different way of engagement from gear to gear. No more synchros.

[@gordowg1wg145]

It is a dog box - faceplate seems to be an American term.

[@toolologist6274]

Fricken HELL YEAH to the HELL YEAH times a billion plus a bartle skeet. Time to row some FREEDOM into the 7s! For sure never seen you that stoked before. NOW GET LEROY ON THE TRACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@GotAerialllc]

All I could think was “did he put fluid in it?”

[@seal-n-shinedetailing7348]

Congratulations on the transmission, we love seeing you this excited . All of you are awesome

[@gavinoliver8074]

Cleetus very rarely do I watch every video of someone on youtube. You are an infectious person for sure. Your enthusiasm matches mine for sure.

[@southjerseysound7340]

I generally avoid big youtubers,because most of them are clickbaiting tools like street-spunk717.But Cleetus has come a long way though and is the real deal.He doesnt front like he's god and knows it all etc.Instead he's just having fun learning to go fast along the way.Plus he seems like he wants to help people out for real,not just for views when he does charity stuff.I have no doubt that when idiots like 717 are gone he'll still be around one way or another.

[@TomsTurboGarage]

That sounds so intense!!

[@jacob.s3619]

Tom's Turbo Garage. Straight cut gears and dog engagement for the miata Tom? Lol.

[@degz1s]

i respect the way you started out man cant wait to see what leroy puts down

[@Mikebike68]

I can’t imagine the relief after the limitations of the last setup you’ve endured at the track.

[@joshuawold375]

Thats how the m22 rock crusher muncie feels. It wines so loud, just puts a smile on your face.

[@kylesmith139]

Cleetus you should put the 5.0 in that fake razor thing you got!!

[@fleeshawn11]

Kyle Smith 5.0 is too big in displacement a ls engine is smaller then a 5.0 and even that wont fit

[@paulbow78]

wat?

[@Samlenon4]

Kyle Smith I say put a little 4 banger turbo in it

[@SethBergile]

Bigger footprint yes.... Bigger displacement NO

[@lilman227]

93mustang shawn cut stretch, and tube it. Anything will fit if you try hard enough

[@randyfranklin117]

7s are right around the corner!! HOLLEY IS ADORABLE!!

[@justinharrison5517]

Leroy is gonna kick so much ass now with this transmission.

[@yannickdube-plante7718]

Rpm transmission should sponsor you at this point! So much freedom in one video

[@jessegarcia6250]

10/10 intro

[@kylehoover7463]

“Let freedom RING/SHIFT! It shifts so well I bet Cleetus could drink an ice cold bartle skeet while flying down the 1/4 mile! So much FREEDOM!

[@PFIBrent]

Things are getting serious!!

[@domino52o26]

I watched that shift at 6:40 four or five times. The look on your face and the g force on your body is amazing.

[@jdc6927]

That would take some getting used to. Sounds like a missed shift because the RPMs climb so quick in the 1-2 shift. If you don't get in the 7's now...

[@yobabysup2308]

if you watch his pb of 8.4, his shifting now will be approx 1 tenth quicker per shift....that'll get him close to a 8.1 sec and with the engine improvements a 7 sec pass is possible, but only if the axles can take it?? #difd ✌

[@CGT80]

That is what I thought. I'm not sure if he has the boost set higher for 2nd gear or if he wasn't at as high RPM when he shifted out of first, but second sounds like much higher RPM. The RPM should drop going into the next gear, so he can wind it out again. I would love to see the tach or a replay from his electronic cluster to see what is going on with the engine speed. It sounds insane.

[@firstgenerationoffthefarm4647]

The

[@firstgenerationoffthefarm4647]

The stock Axles will be next 2 grenade...💣💣💣😈😣 But only if he spins bad and then hooks really good 😣😈💣💣💣😱

[@johnlauderbaugh4641]

Congrats man!!! You're gonna be in the 7's for SURE. I can't wait to see that test and tune video bright and early sunday morning.

[@DonPablo2011]

That enthusiasm and joy was infectious. One wouldn't imagine a transmission could make someone so happy.

[@painkillersclan]

...and some folks say, that Mr McFarland is still smiling to this very day ;)

[@Rageroflsocks]

Well it happened yesterday(i'm guessing) so who wouldn't be ???

[@Astrosisphere]

He's not the only one! What a sound!

[@brspeedysgarage]

Every sound outta that thing is awesome.

[@GP14Goat]

Did someone say “Dale”?

[@hamonthvac]

@Cleetus McFarland this needs to be pinned

[@greggaona9349]

I’ve literally watched the intro 15 times... holy cow Leroy is gonnna be in the 7’s soon. No more missing gears! #DOITFORDALE

[@TenSpeedAustin]

Legend has it... Cleetus never stopped smiling.

[@devinbuchhorn]

Idk if I've ever seen Cleetus get so giddy. True excitement

[@DukeNuggets69]

Inb4 he has to send it 10 times back to rpm transmissions

[@AH-lw2bj]

DukeNuggets69 hahahahaha word

[@Savage1351]

Lmaooo

[@LEWZR]

wtf thats crazy, its literally like theres 0 delay between gears and it just instantly goes into the next gear, the whine sounds so good

[@CamaroRick]

Hell yea brother, now get a load cell shifter to pull the timing and BRAAAP it for Dale!

[@CriticoolHit]

I know hes trying to stay in his class. But the only real next step is digital shifting with paddles. Nothing is faster than the computer. And of course body panels lol.

[@dustinshort6207]

Camaro Rick but then it's not stickshift

[@s2upid]

I would just put a strain gauge shift knob on it.

[@RCXDerp]

Dale wouldn't approve of paddles in that beast

[@brendanmccarthy492]

CriticoolHit Or just do a th400 with a manual valve body with a 4500 stall converter. Be perfect for leroy.

[@kaylor87]

Hoooooly sweet Jesus! I'm so excited to see Leroy run down the track with this new Transmission, 7's are in our very near future....

[@lunkydog]

Cooper is going to have to start his own channel if he ever expects the V to run again.

[@derekyoder1846]

lunkydog he has one

[@juanruiz-vb4bj]

Derek Yoder name?

[@muddywaterfishing]

A year later and the V is still broken lol

[@appleuserr]

He has now....still nothing on V yet lol

[@DK-dh4ci]

I just spoke to Shane at RPM this afternoon about a them taking my magnum and doing a lv 6 build for 900 wheel. Awesome guys, very reasonable for me to ship my t56 mag to them and they build it.

[@pogonick55]

Leroy vs. Shart-Kart at Hoonigan?!

[@handsome4922]

pogosticknick shart cart would live up to it's name running into something with 900 more horsepower

[@pogonick55]

Shart kart wouldn't shit on the competition but it would definitely "shart" on the competition

[@Zemjang]

So much happiness in this video. Can't wait to see it on 1/4!

[@Truthhurts239]

I quit my job to watch this video 👍🏻

[@matt23540]

I just can't wait to see Leroy go down the track. Hell Yehhhhh!!!

[@NickPDX22]

“You guys know the deal, I gotta drop that subframe”. . . Yes we know the deal ! :):) *Epic*

[@93cutty]

Am I the only one that finds enjoyment out of the pure happiness Cleetus shows in his face? This is going to be gnarly.

[@Digital__rb]

Next video "LEROY MAKES A 7 SECOND PASS"

[@jeremydale7263]

I am so happy to see you finally got it face plated!!

[@thepickleton1741]

He needs to install a "Oh shit handle" for Mah Boy Leroy

[@dylanporter1263]

Way to go Cleetus!! Leroy is more savage than ever that Trans sound gorgeous can't wait to see you push for the 7's

[@lethal8108]

Hellyeah sister

[@rubensantana8601]

[@lethal8108]

Ruben Santana What's the problem

[@mrwonderful2081]

EvilBullEyez Lmao!!!!!!!

[@MrMatt713]

heavens no cousin

[@zachtoburen]

It's actually "hell yeah brother"

[@BrennanMcKissick]

I drove a C6Z with a faceplated T56 a few years ago. It's insane how they feel to drive. It also sucks to pull out of a parking lot if you've never driven anything like that before haha.

[@SHADOWBLACKs650]

Mobile 1 synthetic is high sulfur content,it eats all the brass in the transmission I'm surprised they recommended it.

[@raynman6466]

09victoryrc there's brass in transmissions?

[@Real_Richmond_510]

rayn man nope😂

[@vicmreyes]

Are you thinking of the synchros? If so better question is what synchros does that thing have

[@kevinm3702]

09victoryrc there's no syncros in this transmission. It just got faceplated

[@SHADOWBLACKs650]

Absolutely there's shiny Metals in the transmission you got bushings and who knows what else, mobil one tells you not to use it on the shiny metals

[@psnspikestarr3756]

Can't wait to see your first video at the drag strip with the new transmission. Epic

[@JacobRDoty]

Lettin' er rip tater chip

[@enjoisk69]

Now that we all saw a brief teaser of what that RPF mansmission is capable of, I want the main event! Let's see it bang gears on the drag strip!

[@MRTuning704]

Your video breaks my phone every time I watch it XD

[@MrTheHillfolk]

M&R Tuning And turn the Bluetooth down.

[@trevervargas6904]

The biggest grin on my face I can't stop smiling f****** amazing

[@ScottMikles]

It's going to run 7's with shifts like that. The ONLY thing holding you back was shifting. Now it's time to turn Leroy up, bang gears, and let him eat! P.S. Hands down, you will have the 6 speed stick Corvette record again.

[@zmohan69]

AdrenalineJunkie no tires have been holding him back too. Its gonna be a spin fest next track day he goes too. Id put good amount of money on that

[@winstonmcclean8703]

Consider that done now!

[@Mr_KasT79]

That’s so cool very impressive hats off to rpm side note it’s so cool I see you that excited about Leroy again

[@CaptanTaco]

WHABAM!

[@robertpenn250]

Yes, test-N-tune this weekend is a must!

[@2002dodgeram2]

That sounds like some of the diesel built autos

[@myracinglife5602]

I'm running a dogbox in my mr2 rx car. It shifts insane and the best thing is, you dont ge used to it :) Gives me a smile every time I race it!!

[@dirkbowman946]

High and tight Jean

[@maxwelltheobald4470]

dirk bowman Mommies for Cleetus?

[@ThisGuyDrives]

dirk bowman not low and loose like some other KZbinrs.

[@adrenaholic1]

I don't recall seeing that look on your face since you drove the LSX Willys...hell yeah brother!

[@doughopkinsjr]

If you miss a shift now.......it's totally your fault.....no excuses!!

[@maximilianhorcher5778]

It's probably already been said, but the reason for the "shift it like you hate it" is because normal shifting--anything slower than a sharp jerk, really--will cause the gears' dogs to grind (which is that chattering you heard). The harder you shift, the less grinding you'll do and the longer Leroy's gears will last.

[@PistonJunkeez302]

[@LiveForGLory]

oh man im so excited to see Leroy on FULL TILT BOOGIE!

[@andrewhh898]

You guys should put the coyote into the limo haha

[@andrewhh898]

Cyrus Logan since we know the gt500 drive train is goin in the Vic, why not put the coyote in the limo haha

[@Real_Richmond_510]

Andrew H or he should put it in the cart up on the lift!

[@andrewhh898]

Real Richmond it would be way too big for the buggy lol. I'd rather see like a busa in that.

[@unsaved013]

Coyote Limo and Voodoo the Vic

[@joshshelby7322]

Hell ya do it

[@archy350]

I love my faceplates t56. I would never go back. I think i had about the same reaction the first time I powershifted. Just be careful it'll go into 1st just as easy as 3rd now lol.

[@kamranforouzad1038]

Throw some bigger radials on there pleasseee

[@robertgowins5086]

Just Ridin your dumb dude he runs slicks u need to watch his channel longer before commenting something like that it only makes u look dumb

[@KevinCabana]

robert gowins he actually does need larger radials, he spins way too much.

[@bdeleon541]

I remember first seeing Leroy when you first got him. I shed a tear watching this video. Excited to see what he’ll do in the track! Hell yeah brother!!!!

[@alexthompson5172]

so is this a straight cut dogbox?

[@supernice_auto]

face plated usually means synchros are removed and replaced by dog teeth but stock gears left in aka still helical

[@JustAvignone]

Miss these vids!!!! Brings back memories!!!

[@the1satsuma1project]

SHOW ME THE FREEDOM! In the uk plz we have shit cars :(

[@somedudeonacbr7844]

Oscar Ozzy but you guys can drive a s15 on the roads

[@hogdog567]

??? We can import, build or buy almost any car we want. America has incredibly restrictive laws in comparison.

[@Dripdry74]

Blurryface America has 2000hp+ street cars. I don't think they're that restrictive

[@joshmac7245]

Zainzy it all depends on where you are, some states or even city's/towns will let you get away with almost anything but other states will give you the death penalty for having a car back exhaust , its the same here in Canada

[@Dripdry74]

Josh Mac yea true

[@Jeffro422]

It really does look and sound like it shifts so much faster now. 1st to 2nd sounded insane. Can't wait for the track video!!

[@JacobRDoty]

Anyone know if RPM will build MT-82s? ;)

[@epicclips456]

Jacob R. Doty don't most people just do a t56 swap if they're sticking with the manual?

[@ElijahWash]

Ben calimer is the one to go to for the built mt 82. Or just t56 swap it.

[@JacobRDoty]

Yep. I'm going to be doing the Amsoil cocktail he recommends here soon. I'm just wondering how well it can be built up. I think the main issue is the way the shifter is mounted.

[@JacobRDoty]

or TR6060 from the GT500

[@thenitroviper6149]

That wouldn't really work unless the GT500 version of the TR6060 will fit

[@skal9467]

On The run back after he shifts you can tell he doesn't want to let off lol I was hoping he wouldn't too so awesome

[@geemoney6280]

If you’ve been watching since day one you know this shit is way different than the old Leroy !!

[@cjsaunders06]

Recon that's a deep 8 off the trailer. Power shift sounded like a case of whip ass and mtn dew being cracked simultaneously 🙌🙌

[@Roblox-yr5hb]

The happiness on your face is amazing!

[@steelervette]

Feels like in growing with Leroy. That pull had my heart racing. Awesome car and vid Cleetus

[@chimpzahoy]

Man, this thing has makes me grin, ear to ear, every time it runs. Such a cool car. Badass, dude, really.

[@brentstam7751]

I haven’t been this excited for a new video since the twin turbskies.
