No Crank no Start in Park! Internal Neutral Safety Switch

[@lovesmusic0845]

I will never understand people complaining about content. You make car repair interesting. That’s almost impossible. I’m constantly amazed that you can disassemble all these puzzle pieces on the car and get them back together again correctly. Plus knowing what you can whack with a hammer versus what you have to surgically tweeze out with tiny tools is fascinating. Watching your shop evolve and seeing your side projects is really entertaining. Sometimes when I’m out working in my yard, I’m just listening to you anyway. If I can’t see every bit of the job, no big deal. Internet trolls just live to tear down somebody else. They aren’t worth your time.

[@wallebo]

I NEVER do that. Before I would ever complain, I would need to be able to do better myself. Needless to say, I can't do better.

[@mike.47]

We must remember that Ray puts out videos while working one handed. That alone merits a 👍🏼

[@patrickreynolds801]

I agree.

[@CedroCron]

Cut you some slack? Really people complain? Your content is "FREE" and people complain? ... I'm just happy I get to see you daily wrench on things!

[@glennjukes5581]

People complain about everything-it is teh way now--are they perfect?? Heck-no!!

[@ACOnetwork]

Some people need to complain to live their life 🤣😂.

[@rickscott7350]

There are people whos lives are so miserable that they have to troll other peoples pages that are successful to try and make themselves feel better. They want to bring down successful people to their level to feel better about thier miserable life.

[@zeropoint3518]

@@rickscott7350some harmless trolling can be funny but some people decide like you said to try and bring people down with it.. unfortunately gives all of us trolls a bad name I promise you some of us still only troll for fun

[@DaveBigDawg]

​@@zeropoint3518i like to harmlessly troll Ray I hope he doesn't take it personally,

[@terryriley2758]

Anyone who has watched other mechanic's videos knows and appreciates that your camera work is always great. No one else takes the time and effort you do to get the shots, the lighting and the details like you. Great video work for a very challenging job.

[@PetersPlace-z8y]

I beg to differ in as far as I also watch Eric O from Southern Main Auto whom has a channel just as good as Rays. I watch Ray in Florida for hot sweaty weather work and Eric O for Cold Salty work ;-)

[@Dave.76]

You don’t every need to apologise, any video you put out is always good, People need to be mindful of that, Keep it up Ray cheers 👍👍💪

[@patrickchavez3848]

Hey dave, I take it you are British? I make that assumption based on your spelling of APOLOGISE. Anyway have a great day... P. S I'm not being or trying to be rude, it's just an observation..

[@richardz.1615]

just a quick hint on how to sort out the screws of the valve body a bit easier. Print out the picture of the valve body in a bigger format and fix/glue it on a cardboard. Take out the srew one by one and punch the screw at its position on the print through the cardbord. 🤯

[@rickscott7350]

Pure Genius.

[@ken2tou]

I’d definitely have to do that! Good advice!

[@tyronesart]

Great idea. But when working on the clock unrealistic

[@wallebo]

Good idea!

[@MonkeyJedi99]

That's what I do with complicated disassemblies, be it engines, electronics, or anything else. You can also use Styrofoam packaging instead of cardboard, if you have some lying around.

[@paulocarvalho6480]

Other than the comments, I don't understand what are people complaining about. For me it's a privilege to be able to watch the team working and repairing cars. I've seen things that I've never thought possible to watch. Usually, no mechanic likes to show what they're doing. Part two of this repair promises to be very good, but not so fun for Ray, having to work in such close quarters space.

[@ZeroStatic]

Ray, your patience and tolerance for working on these difficult to access components is truly inspiring. I know that there is no way I could do that job without an infinite amount of swearing, cursing and probably quite a bit of crying. 😢 Thanks so much. ❤❤❤👍

[@wallebo]

Same here, especially the crying part. I would also be hating my life.

[@johncolligan5128]

The narrative is just as valuable as the video, thumbs up ,always do your best and that is great!

[@johnfriend862]

Kudo's to Ray for getting Alvin & the Chipmunks to help narrate his videos! Seriously, perfectly placed fast forwarding keeps your viewers tuned in during tedious portions. 👍

[@Kneemako]

Ray you’re great just the way you are. The Trolls can’t do what you can do so they feel inferior.

[@sammorgan2390]

I've learned so much watching your videos ! Thanks Ray

[@kurtisstutzman7056]

Thanks for sharing, Ray...! I wish I had just a fraction of your patience when it comes to the nuts & bolts of mechanic-ing...! You're an amazing technician and am sooo happy you're local...!!! I was born at Sarasota Memorial Hospital forty-five years and ten months ago and have never left(except for a few trips here and there)...! Keep up your awesomeness and go enjoy some nature today...! Also, don't forget to compliment someone today... It just may change their day for the better...! Have a beautiful day and take care...

[@djsi38t]

The way you fearlessly dive into projects is pretty cool and I guess its just part of being a mechanic.A regular type guy would be very worried about digging into a transmission like that.When you show these kinds of jobs it really teaches a lot and helps the DIY guy feel a little bit better about tackling those bigger/more difficult jobs.Thanks Ray..

[@davidrobinette3834]

I’ve worked upon all manner of machinery all my 70 years. Just the typical life of a southern shade tree mechanic. I’m fascinated by watching RR. Good job and greetings from upstate South Carolina.

[@CharlesTimothy-en7to]

Hi Ray,love your vids. I think you are the best mechanic on KZbin . Keep up the good work and stay safe.

[@Sam590ss]

It's still filmed better than most of us could do. Thanks Ray!

[@pyro323]

This vehicle doesn't stand a chance with Ray and Dave workin' on it!

[@red_ben3487]

Yes, let's out the electrical connection inside with all the fluid... BRILLIANT

[@bblod4896]

It's a video, not a Hollywood production; Slack has been cut 😂. Enjoy your Tuesday.

[@MrCanadascott]

Never apologize for your work buddy. You do great work and we know that you do the best you can at all times. So if some haters that will be haters don't like it, they can go pound salt

[@dennislaur2515]

I watch your videos not because I'm mechanically inclined, but because I like learning about things I don't know. I also like the format you present in, and your humor. I like you don't script your video, and are able to focus your thoughts so we are not sitting through a 5 minute tangent that has little to do with the content.

[@RobertColman-Sadd]

Hey Ray. People always fall back on what they know. In the aircraft maintenance field as I’m in when separating two surfaces bonded together we use what’s called Spoons. Google Aircraft maintenance sheet metal spoons and you’ll see what I’m talking about. Hammering with the pry bar could damage mating surfaces and bend flanges whereas the spoons help seperate the mating surfaces without causing damage. As an fyi I love your channel

[@rickscott7350]

They are great. I was US Navy and Boeing Maintenance Tech. Used them a lot on Fuel system removals. Fuel tanks sensor access covers were a bear to remove without them. The sealant was horrible as it would not want to release.

[@RobertColman-Sadd]

@ see ray needs a set. I cringe every time he breaks out the sharpened pry bar to seperate something.

[@geordieboy5679]

These videos just show how awkward some jobs really are and how the difficulty level goes through the roof. I considered this video a gem.

[@wacowildcat]

Just finished looking over a honda accord ex for a friend who know zero about cars. I was hearing Ray’s voice in my head the whole time. These videos really help over the years.

[@robbobsjobs8456]

A guy is mighty proud to see some Vice Grips being used. A feller just might watch this through

[@ihaveinsomnia12]

fancy having to take the lightning cube out to get to the go forward go back device.

[@sand0077]

Even on my 84 Porsche 928, the replacement of the neutral safety switch was pretty straight forward without removal of so many components and was accessible from the driver's side under the car. Amazing how involved this job turned out to be!

[@EdwinSemidey]

Ray you guys are very fortunate to have the excellent Mechanics working with you

[@joshcorbin1931]

Ray, no need to apologize! You are doing us all a favor taking time and energy to film plus do your daily duties! Thanks for the video!! Keep up the great work!

[@jamesg8365]

I’m not an auto mechanic but I appreciate the videos I really learn a lot. Thank you for all the free education!

[@lomni02]

it's nice to see more of Dave...

[@michaelpressman7203]

And he spoke to 😂

[@rickscott7350]

Ray, never appologize for video quality. its always fine. I enjoy the content. Your entertaining and I learn somethign new every day. Will I become a certified mech, no, but there are small things I feel more comfortable doing since watching you. Keep doing what your doing, its a joy to watch every morning with my coffee. And as far as the trolls, just ingnore them. They are jelous of your success and went to try and bring you down to their misery in life.

[@mikecabral1579]

I think you did a great job of Giving us the best possible views that you could. You provide verbally, a good description of what you’re doing. Enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing.

[@samishiikihaku]

Ray, I stand with the positive side of your audience. Do not pay attention to the negative idiots in the comments. I enjoy your videos, even if the camera angles aren't the best. Most of us enjoy your content. Please continue to make more content!

[@mtn.homeforge351]

Trolls gotta troll, F them, thats my 2 cents worth. Thanks for another good video. All of you there have yourselves a great day!!!

[@DanielGallowayR]

For what you were doing, I am shocked at how good the camera angles and video you could capture all. As others have said, anyone complaining needs to find a new hobby. I love watching your videos.

[@jameslastname9171]

I was worried check balls were going to fall out all over the place when you removed the plate from the transmission casting.

[@golf25radioman]

OMG - the way you felt, Ray, when pulling that valve body out is the way I feel when you go digging into a dash or deep in an electrical maze. What a heck of a way of designing a switch that can fail. Most are external, not this one. WTG, Ray...you can always amaze me at what you're willing to tackle. It's obvious, too, that you have a good resource for reference - whatever you used to help you get to that (probably the same source you use for tracing electrical). Thanks for another great video. I'm looking forward to the part two. 😊 LOL on the "end of transmission" at the end!! 🤣

[@NuTex1954-lk5un]

Ray, you are never boring and always informative and relevant! 😁

[@patrickreynolds801]

2:50 mark we see dual wrenching action Ray vs. Dave. That surround sound of ratchets is awesome.

[@lelandrogers1078]

Back in the '50s we used Coke to clean up battery corrosion. My Dad and I pulled the automatic transmission on my '57 Plymouth Fury to fix it. I took one look at the insides and said "I sure hope you know what you are doing Dad." He did, and it worked fine. It was the push button shifter type.

[@TheCuddlemealot]

15:30 Great video!!!! Dropping tools is in everybody's life while working on their own cars. Stay happy!!!!

[@michaelpressman7203]

I have a magnet on a stick just for picking up tools 😂

[@patrickchavez3848]

Two part videos I can surely dig. Have a great day Ray and tripple R familly and an even better tomorrow for all your tomorrows to come.😊

[@loisrinehart6755]

Who in the heck taught you how to video? Only kidding. Tell the complainers to pound sand. I love watching you take cars apart and then put them together the way they should be. You truly have patience. I had to stop the video a couple of times because I couldn't see it because I was laughing so hard and crying at you going oops, I hope I didn't ruin my day. Keep up the good work and have a great week. Thanks.

[@killingtonsnowboarde]

Awesome job Ray on recording and repairing a super difficult repair job !!!!!

[@robertbriley9182]

According to VGG that’s called a lightning cube.

[@DannebergAcres]

Youre Gaslighting us RAY! 😂 That was actually some amazing camera work! Good in-focus tight shots! Aside: if you look at a pin removal tool, you need to push pins out. Therefore, you can use a punch quite easily - both for removal and insertion. Great stuff !

Ray you do an excellent job. The trolls have no idea how to do what you accomplish. You remind me of myself when I was young. Due to an accident that broke my back, I wasn’t able to pursue that kind of daily work. I’m happy to see your content, I say screw you trolls! Keep up the great job that you do I love watching.

Anyone who can work on these modern nightmares without dropping some f-bombs, deserves the highest respect. Unless that's all on the 2nd channel...

[@D_Morse]

Holy cats, that design (embedding the neutral lockout switch into the tranny, with near-unreachable and apparently unobtanium holding parts) must have brought tears of joy to the eye of the engineer who contrived that idiocy. I'd guess there's a betting pool for "most evil" contrivance in a new automobile model among the designers.
