Youre VERY smart and THOROUGH Richard, i hope you trained a few people to be as good as you!

[@garymeredith2441]

Richard and Teresa I love when you put out these videos when you do a manual transmission these are transmissions people just seem to forget about and yet they're a big part of keeping a truck running I wish more cars had manual transmissions put out more manual transmission videos these are the best ones I think you put out there .

[@foulerbeatle888]

I second that

[@notyou6950]

I've must have watched every automatic transmission take down Richard ever presented here. This is maybe the second manual gearbox I have seen done by him. Love every bit of the presentation...

[@richardteresacricheducatio3542]

Thank you for support. Thank you for watching.

[@dzntz1]

Love the airtools, never noisy to my ears 😀

[@dzntz1]

Richard went for the cutter!

[@johnjelinek-g7b]

Pretty much how other transmissions are/were like to get the cluster out . Just cut the cage off and she pops right out . That guy ran the balls off that trans . When you start bangin' gears, especially with a diesel you better be ready to start buying hard parts when things go poof . lol I used to start laughing when a customer would whine about how expensive a rebuild was going to cost, when they have size 19 shoes . lol @@dzntz1

[@johnd21]

Very educational. Great job Richard and Teresa. And Annie

[@mikepickett3277]

I’ve built loads of gearboxes Richard. Nothing like the weight of the good old cast iron case for a work out. The smell of burnt, old gear oil,it stays with you. I would liked to have a go at that gearbox, my cup of tea. A very expensive rebuild considering all the damage. Absolutely great video!!!!

[@dadsrock4252]

Thank you for the content it helps me cope I'm a retired mechanic of 45 years prayers my friend hope to see a lot more but take it easy my friend .loved this video .peace.

[@crashoverride328]

NV4500 4 speed plus 2 neutrals. The 5th gear nut is known to back off causing the carnage you saw in the tail.

Glad to see you guys are back! we really need channels like this to teach no one else does it.

[@jamesstrickland4980]

I'm amassed at how much you know about transmissions.

[@DonByrd-j6o]

You commented on finding a lot more problems after performing a clean-up of a transmission. How about doing a follow up after disassembling a transmission that is showing bad wear like the Dodge NV 4500 telling and or showing what other problems were found. A re-assembly video would be great too. I subscribed to you after watching this video. Very professionally done video.

[@kevlec1947]

Richard & Teresa Great to see you back, Australia.

[@blownaway4371]

From what I've read about is the 5th gear nut loosens and it starts eating the case. I got 2 chevy 2wd ones that I need to rebuild. Excellent work!!

[@Garth2011]

Seems like a trip to the salvage yard might be in order. So many parts are bad in this one all thats left is the case.

[@gregscott9170]

Wow, that thing really is plumb wore out! With so many problems it’s a great video subject.

[@rposton919]

Transmissions are magic....

[@NH1969GOAT]

Richard, you are such a wealth of knowledge- you not only demonstrate the problems, you explain why they happened- thank you!!

[@KB10GL]

Perhaps you could include some still images of the carnage that you find after the cleanup & inspection & include them at the end of the video. I, for one, would like to see that.

[@morgansword]

I worked on one of these for a guy who was too cheap to go to a transmission shop. He heard that there was a large nut holding (Its been quite a while ago) something in tight and if it backed off, things got ugly fast. I do remember it was four wheel drive and that nut was most likely about a inch and a quarter, more or less, It had some tangs on a locking washer that kept it from backing off. I did as he asked and of course it was not as tight as should be. At that point, I figure there is more damage on the inside but he said, "Just tighten the heck out of it" and so I did, then reassembled it. I will admit it did shift better and never gave him any problems after.

[@jensenwilliam5434]

Glade to see you guys !

[@jpop2499]

Please show us videos of what else you find wrong and how to put it back together. This is very interesting and I really enjoy seeing your and Teresa's videos.

[@SuperchiefApache]

Richard, I’m almost in Amarillo TX and planned to stop by your shop. I flew from Maryland, and driving back. So, my wife was looking you up and your old business is closed up? The date is 14 March, 2024@ 3:45 pm. I’ve been watching your You Tube for over 2 years. I have a long drive back. I’ll be in Amarillo in about an hour. Is there anywhere I can see your shop? I’d hate to go all the way home and miss this chance. I’m the Army guy who reached out to you and spoke with you on the phone 2 years ago. Let me know. Kind Regards, Tom

[@reinovator]

Thank you, I have only 'torn down' Disassembled one Manuel tranz, a 3speed from a chevy car a friend helped me. and I ended up putting a 4 speed in but reassembled the 3 speed I'm told it worked, but back in 1976 I didn't have the Patience to learn Transmissions. at 64 yrs old I get to learn some because I want to. Thank you for getting these videos out At lease I now have a starting point. I may try a 700r4 after watching you. This thing looks nasty you have on this video.

My '03 Jeep Rubicon has a NV3550 and getting gear oil for it is a challenge. At 108k so far so good. That tells me that it is under-engineered and needs all the lube help it can get.

[@shadowopsairman1583]

92 NV3500 in a Chevrolet C1500 extended cab, only had to replace pickle fork pivot once and do gear oil once, no issues with it.

[@brentmcmahon8188]

For just good cases are 1000 bucks so keep the case .

[@robertrpenny]

Richard that thing looks like it's new or reman trans time. Close to case value only. A good example of not paying attn to lubrication costing a fortune.

[@anthonycook8737]

I have a video request... I wish you'd do a video each on generations of transmissions. For example, in the Mopar line do a single video on the 904,727 and all of their children to the 48re. Have them all blown apart and laid out on the floor. Point out similarities, evolutions and SPECIFICALLY interchangeable parts that can be used to improve upon a transmission (like interchangeable planetary gears that can be taken out of 1 transmission and put in another to add strength). Do 1 video each for mopar, gm, and ford. That would be some AWESOME tech!

[@brentmcmahon8188]

In my 05 Dodge 5.9 6 speed MV not the Benz trans I run two quarts of Lucas oil stablizer Dino type and top it off with Amsoil sever gear and I have 152K and still factory clutch and still alls hood I don’t run auto trans fluid in my transfer case and I run Amsoil sever gear in it too because nothing goes into every nock and cranny like synthetic oil does .

[@Failure_Is_An_Option]

Wow.... NOBODY gets 150K. That Amosil must be great stuff! Over 300k. NV4500 behind 400hp. Redline MT in the transmission & ATF+4 in the transfer case. Amosoil cheerleaders give the world something to laugh at every day.

just a heads up richard , i am no mechanic , but when ever i change out manual tranny fluid , i always pour in quart of engine duralube engine treatment into the tranny then top it up with the proper weight of gear oil , even though duralube is for engines , it works great in manual transmissions , when worked into the various metal parts , the tranny shifts smoothly like a hot knife through butter ,been doing this for many years

Those big gears must be very expensive -- I can imagine replacements costing $3,000, + another $1,000 for syncros and bearings?

[@izzynutz2000]

With that much Carnage inside that transmission what about going and finding a used one that you can pull apart even though it's got where on it you can still be better off than having exploded Parts in it

[@kg4muc]

Bet 5th gear sounded like a rock crusher in that unit 😅

On my 05 the trans always makes noise when taking off and unless I give it some fuel and it won’t chatter on take off and I change every thing every 2-3 years depends on mileage Iam retired now and my wife’s car and my truck only gets the oil changed once a year with mileage is 5K and under .

New venture takes $20 a quart oil for junk results. Went through 4 3500s behind a 318 2wd. Granted the first 2 got ripped out by nitrous and probably by someone who has no business with a 4-5sp. You can't speed shift these. They weren't designed for that but, there are a lot of dummies in my home state. I never abused the last 2. Oh, $600 used if you can find a 2wd dakota.

[@woodymiller3895]

Do you have a list of build videos

[@grandmasmalibu]

Thank you for only showing us the fun part of transmission work, not the many hours of what comes next. Do you reference blow-apart diagrams when you put them back together? Like "does this beveled washer go on the shaft this way or that way?" Or you've just done so many of these you don't need them any more? My nightmare scenario is when a tranny that's been touched before was assembled incorrectly or with parts missing. I'm good at putting things back in the same order they came apart, but if something was installed backwards, in the wrong order or with a part missing... I'll never catch it!
