Hyundai/Kia Trans in a JEEP?! 2016 Jeep Compass 2.4 4x4

Hi Ray excellent, video I just finished watching both of your transmission R/R love it’s and as always you and you’re families be safe 🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@Ronskutin]

Did you remember to tighten up that 4th bolt near rear end? Job well done like always, i love your videos! Have been wathchin old videos a lot, I think watching them all. :)

[@evanschmidt5624]

I was wondering the same thing if he put in the fourth bolt on the drive shaft at the rear end

[@inspectorjavert5563]

He didn't put a smidge of bitumen on the seal before attaching the new transmission either.

[@Ronskutin]

@@inspectorjavert5563 Maybe because you do not have to do that, there is no seal between engine and transmission, because there is only air between those.

[@johnlebihan6628]

Also the bolt to the left when ray was doing the torque converter

[@davidbentley6399]

I wondered about that and the hose clamp on the power steering (I think) underneath he didn't move into place.

[@paulgaerisch]

This is why I would pay good money for a mechanic like Ray. He enjoys his work and he leaves nothing overlooked. I hope one day I can bring my car down for Ray to go over it. 👍

[@Spikefromroi]

I've been watching your channel for a while, I'm a motorhead in my 60s, love your humor, hey I just finished watching the jeep fiat whatever job and you left me hanging on two things driveshaft rear bolts, and when you were installing the torque converter bolts on the left side of the screen there was a bolt through the bell housing into the tyranny the wasn't run down you can see about 6 threads, you did an awesome job though! Keep up the great content.

[@GrayRaceCat]

I think Ray got the driveshaft nut because when he got in to start it, the shifter wasn't in Park anymore. I see what you mean about the Trans mounting bolt, hope Ray got it!

Thoroughly enjoyed this series Ray. Brought back memories of changing out the engine and gearbox with my father on his 1955 Standard 8. Basically same method on a much smaller scale. You unbolted the subframe and lifted the body up leaving all the engine, gearbox and front suspension on the deck. That was back in 1960s for us. Keep up the good work Ray.

[@KevinCoop1]

Ray, I had to replace a transverse mounted trans once for the first time. I was following a book and as dumb luck would have it, I tried for about two hours to get the trans out pulling it up. I called my brother and told him I couldn’t get it out. He said, Did you remove the sub frame? I looked through the book and that was remove all necessary parts, I guess. So, I supported the engine from the top, dropped the frame and trans, put the new one in. I didn’t disconnect the radiator, AC, or any of the multitude of cables on top. It took me 8 hours to get it back on the road. Not bragging, just stating what happened.

[@ogresspeedshop]

There was a loose bolt to the left of the torque converter bolt access port. Maybe a bellhousing bolt. Did you find that later?

@Roads To Nowhere But see, its knowing this info that can help where most don't. I know Cherokees from 1984-2001 inside and out (fully rebuilt a few, its a disease, I know)... But this... wtf? I'd pay someone to do it (like they did Ray) and it got done, but might not be the most efficient. Its also obvious the Manufacturer doesn't have repair or replace in mind when designing and building this.. (as does every company, it seems, especially the one I work for...) Cheers, mate! And thanks for the reply.

I am kind of disappointed there was no video of putting the transmission and engine back into a unit. It was like we ended with pulling the engine and then next one we putting the car back down into the car and hooking up all the other remaining part.

I definitely get the 'moments of panic and uncertainty' - it's even more so when you're dealing with parts from a salvage yard - Had the same thing when I replaced the transmission and then engine on my wifes '15 Malibu (Trans ate itself due to a failed TECHM, and don't get me started on the engine...).

Of course there were variants like AC, turbo units, manual shaft shifter link to dash. or automatic cable to dash, but no major electronics/computer systems in those days of the time he began with DeltaAirline buddies' initial how to instruction in mid-70s...one note of interest is that the transaxle differentials were made of cast iron with specific design differences in manual, or automatic gear ratios, even late models for the first two or so few years could be RPO'd ordered for Positrac option...some of interior components were variant patterns of the earliest Camaro, like seats, door hardware, wheels, wheel covers with only the center emblem changes.... Chevrolet has always been good about interchange- ability with its other GM "cousins"You could even upgrade amp rating of alternators to built in voltage regulators from later back half Chevy mated to pulley end of stationary Corvair mounting pints to timing to cast aluminum rear engine cover that housed oil pump gears , fuel pump, crank/cam gears, distributor...now, certain '65-'69 engine configurations are being sought for E.A.A. gas-powered custom design General Aviation aircraft!
