We make a fully transparent manual gearbox

[@Epsonblade]

There are weak transmissions out there in the auto industry known as "Glass" transmissions because they break easily. You've truly made a "GLASS TRANSMISSION!"

[@joshacollins84]

Glass Transmissions like the T5 in SN95 Mustangs, or the 5 speed Subaru gearboxes are perfect examples, 😊

[@dimitar4y]

and it probably survives longer than a "glass" transy

[@hamstirrer6882]

Opel M32 left the chat...

[@HiramJonesjr-dx8tl]

Myth busters proved you can polish a tred

[@HiramJonesjr-dx8tl]

Polishing and buffing would make it really clear another trick is to use off bug repellent to clean milky headlight plastic

[@thunderkus290]

Just imagine what the other 53 garages are doing!

[@overallvision4837]

Monsss flmm 😂😂😂

[@lorenzofal2068]

Here in Italy there is a Garage 52 they do almost only jdm cars with some really expensive modifications to them ahah

[@MeganFoxx426]

I suggest using the Lada with the transparent gearbox, as an educational example at a local school, like an auto shop class, and such.

[@edwardcalvert]

That's a great idea 💡. Am not sure of how many high schools still have auto shop.

[@cyclesaviorn2700]

Or even an automotive museum, that is a piece of art that deserves to live forever. Bravo!

[@youpi403]

i thought the same! this is very cool and well made, im sure it could help some ppl!

[@falrus]

@@edwardcalvert I went to school in Russia. We did not have an auto-shop. But we had lathes and drill presses. I think it's different in the US as you guys can drive at 16, while in Russia one needs to be 18 to drive a car.

[@marshfield01]

@@falrus I lived in a very rural area in the US and we had a couple of shop classes. We didn't have a auto shop but rather shop classes based around wood or metal. Also, most of the girls and some guys had home economy for learning home making skills and how to run a household, even covering budgeting for groceries and managing money. This was many years ago. The wood shop taught everything from bird houses to large handmade furniture, and the metal class taught things from welding to major projects such as everyone building together a single trailer from scratch, or completely rebuilding a tractor or vehicle for a local farmer. As farm kids, we were allowed legally to move equipment and vehicles in convoy from farm to farm as soon as you could see over the dash. I started driving on the road at 6 on the following my father in the equipment and I in his truck. By ten, I was driving trucks full of grain to the elevator and back. This would have been in the 80s. Every hand had to pitch in to survive back then. Things were much different then. While the cities were preaching hate for the Soviets, in the country we knew most of the people over there were just trying to survive like we were. In any case, I hope you are enjoying it here and continue to do so. It's not as nice as it used to be, but the farther out of town you go, the more freedom and hospitality you get.

[@azrobbins01]

That took an incredible amount of work to make! I am amazed you were able to make that!

[@MrGONZA62]

They are Russians.

[@tomhall4266]

Ladas...a never ending supply of test vehicles.

[@LJC370]

Gmc, Ford and Chrysler still remain as the superior candidates! American superpower garbage!🤣👌🏻

[@grimmerjxcts2206]

There's probably more Lada than all of corolla models combined in the world 😂

[@kyriakosevangelakos9971]

I own a 1990 lada niva. I can buy a whole brand new transmission.. i don't think you can do it with any other car

[@andrasszabo7386]

Here in Hungary, they are collectibles. People buy them,and fix them up to look and work like brand new.

[@bitkarek]

they have been in production for like 50 yrs.

[@birminghamreefer2733]

Now you got to make a clear rear differential..

[@rimfnotab]

They've already done so, well half. A transparent backing plate to the differential

[@MeganFoxx426]

A transparent Diff would be cool, or at least a transparent Diff cover.

[@venelprince6889]

One open diff, and the other limited slip.

[@ndebele100]

they've done engine ,gear box, differential soon the whole car transparent ??? :d

[@shaneeslick]

@@ndebele100 They did clear Vacform panels too, all of them together for a complete car would be 107% AWESOME!

[@trevor02150]

Using a factory valve body and oil pump - a transparent automatic transmission would be very interesting to see working... awesome job on the gearbox 👍👍👍

[@mann_idonotreadreplies]

They're allergic to automatic transmissions

[@bradprimeaux8443]

Need to start putting these transparent parts in the transparent Lada.

[@shaneeslick]

G'day Garage54 & BMI, I love these Transparent Lada videos, they are 107% AWESOME!

[@marshfield01]

@Garage 54 I was amazed at how the fluid moved laterally down the gearbox. I had always imagined it more like a sprinkler with mostly vertical and angular action, but seeing it flow heavily from end to end was something else. This would be a great learning tool for school or static display hooked to a see through engine driven electrically or or just on its own. Very nice job.

[@Dan-vq4pz]

@2:22 that goober in the door window 🤣

[@lt.lasereyez8891]

he seems so happy XD

[@onestopfabshop3224]

Everybody is happy in Russia.

[@Costner1995]

Not only did you make a great working educational display piece, but you also managed to put it to the test in a Lada with 107% success!!! Awesome!!! 😁

[@dangeary2134]

I’ve worked on big truck transmissions. It’s incredible to just be able to see even something this tiny.

[@Powder_actuated_lead-]

I would love the see a semi truck transmission with all them gears rolling over

[@wills.5762]

I would pay good money to see a transparent 18 speed operating

[@edwardcalvert]

This would be great for a high school with an auto shop class. It could also be used at a technical school like Wyotech in Laramie Wyoming for that matter. Way cool. Excellent work

[@reneedijkstra624]

I want this gearbox ! Perfeckt for education ! A real box , not a scale model . Nice projeckt

[@dbblues.9168]

The amount of engineering by thesenguys is amazing.

[@1marcelfilms]

Im sure car tech schools would pay lots of money for this one

[@dimitar4y]

you assume schools want to teach and not just steal money and dish out students per hour.

[@bubullenoiraude]

@@dimitar4y Russia is not monetizing everything and surely not education.

[@JJFX-]

Why bother to learn how it works when the industry is more interested in selling new units than repairing the old one?

[@dimitar4y]

@@JJFX- Also the problem, considering they fund the schools to uneducate you so you just consumerism; Anyway, My school had a LOT Of chemistry props. They were told NOT to use them. So our chemistry class was the "first" generation to have no demonstrations. They had an entire room full of the goods, and they slowly started to get rid of them.

[@JJFX-]

@@dimitar4y Yeah and wouldn't be surprised some of that is also lawyers ruining everything. Someone messes around with a prop, gets hurt and the parents sue the institution for millions. When I worked with the public school system it was mind blowing how quickly the districts cave to lawyers or just about anything a parent complains about for that matter.

[@jiggilowjow]

garage 54 is totally unique , i love how they make it happen when everyone else is screaming it wont work!!! i think this show is actually vital. we should always be exploring new technologies. the results the gov hides , garage 54 shows us the possibilities

[@Gearwars]

I like how they pull insane ideas in to really time and time again. Most of the time things I had never thought of.

[@bgd73]

cool to see, the oil splash is an old school design. In old trucks in the winter,we used to put them into neutral transfer, and gear four..just to get the thick molasses gear oil turning,before loading it.. worked well in the frigid cold.

[@youpi403]

Man, i love this chanel, it's always interesting and the guys doing the work always seems cheerfull and happy! I already know (in theory) how a gearbox works, but SEEYING it instead of visualizing it is very cool! I didn't go to a mechanic/engeneering school, but i have a Renault Clio 1 (in a way, the french Lada), and I do everything I can to keep it in working order, so i do a lot of imagining to understand what the car do and what it needs to work properly. This chanel helped a lot to clear some grey areas, and im very thanksfull for it! you guys are awsome! I can't help but think that this gearbox would be a great tool for any mechanic school, seeying everything working in real time is a very powerfull learning tool, even for a seasoned mechanics! Looking forward for the next experiment! have fun guys, and thanks to BMI RUSSIAN for the english translation!!

[@masondrake4672]

One step closer to the fully transparent car

[@BenKuhns-br1jc]

It's called no tinted windows 😊

[@johnjay5143]

Definitely a 107% success Vlad . :) Great work everyone ! :)

[@TheRattyBiker]

Oh god! Not again! G54 are living out my dreams!... Well done guys!

[@azrobbins01]

I would have never thought you could drive without it exploding right away!

[@502WoodCreations]

G54 needs to teach Subaru and GM how to make glass transmissions properly 😅

[@malcolmar]

That is one of the most impressive things I have ever seen! Very well done!

[@benjaminrich9396]

Yes your videos are always done with a smile - and are always very entertaining - but I hope you guys know just how great an educational tool your videos are. Fantastic.

[@simonallan9941]

The clear coat is great for many things, I always have a can of clear lacker engine enamel and have used it many times for certain tail lights and even plastic head lights that have gone a faded matt (poris) finish, it makes them look like new, also great for its intended purpose 😮

[@andygoldensixties4201]

long time ago, I had the opportunity to drive the Fiat 124, the car from which the Lada derives, and it's gear box was the most precise and smooth I ever happened to use, and your accurate (as always) job seems to confirm it

[@_A.K_]

best outcome for a video in a long time, great success

[@kentworch]

Another awesome experiment, and really cool to see the real deal in action through a transparent case. I was thinking for the next one maybe getting close up video of the forks and slider gears engaging the dogs up on the lift, as well as a nice view of the synchronizers matching the gears to speed maybe in slow motion as you shift. That would be very cool to see happen in a real gearbox instead of just simulation or animation. Anyway glad y'all didn't destroy it yet, and awesome video guys. I look forward to seeing what y'all do next.👍

[@kurticusmaximus]

Transparent CVT would be awesome! Watching those pulleys moving in and out. 😮

[@napierpaxman]

Google Daf veriomatic :)

[@litebotsrasch7354]

Lovely, the simplicity of the manual gearbox is beautiful ❤

[@bubbalo3388]

Keep up these awesome video demonstration of yours. Being able to actually see what is going on in actual operating conditions is just amazing and a great way to teach.

[@richardleroux8100]

I absolutely enjoyed this project. I’m impressed it held up. However what a great way to show what is going on in a transmission. Would like to see a front wheel drive transmission mission done I think that would be amazing. Great work, really appreciate the time and effort your team put into this.

[@Gkuljian]

All hail Garage 54!

[@olarubogdan46]

I was so expecting it to explode

[@dimitar4y]

unfortunately they did too good of a job aligning everything, the gears are in excellent condition - so no binding, and the lada engine is a little on the weak side, so the stress never got too big.

[@udaychangmai7625]

It will be very helpful for automobile engineering students to understand gearbox working

[@crassbusinessman3122]

"Now for some fine tuning" *cuts to a scene where they're using a grinder* lol

[@brandonthomasino6369]

Great... chrysler and ford will be making composite transmission cases within a year of seeing this. Thanks a lot!

this has got to be the coolest channel out there guys. thanks for all of the hard work and content.

[@mikevolante7663]

great video. those old Lada's run forever. спасибо

[@stevenwilliams9359]

you can use a heat gun too to 'melt' the top layer and make it clear.

[@blakegebauer76]

Was gunna say they could have also lightly heated it with a blowtorch as well

[@regulatorjohnson.]

I don't think that works with a thermoset resin

[@doodskie999]

Seeng they already made a transparent engine, Imagine, in a few months or years, these guys will make a transparent engine and gearbox and a whole ass transparent Lada.

[@jwalster9412]

I'm Glad you were transparent in this video.

[@kenw.1112]

TO ALL THE GUYS WHO WORK IN GARAGE 54, NICE WORK ! YOU GUYS ARE SKILLED AND BEYOND!😊😊😊😊

Dare Garage 54 attempt to make another transparent engine and mate it to the transparent gearbox?

[@dwaynezilla]

Fantastic work! Great results!

[@moefuggerr2970]

Good demonstration model.

[@barrelracer318]

That is something. A beautiful bit of craft there. Better that it held up under a small load. Seriously impressive. I always thought it was cool to see the toy models of this kind of stuff. Although to see it scaled up and in actual use is awesome. Another masterful experiment.

[@Jake39019]

I would attach a small motor to it, and have it run in the shop as a display!

[@DDE_ADDICT]

I love this channel, especially the overdub translation voice.

[@spegatti3108]

Nice to see how the integrity of the transmission housing isn't as important when it comes to the overall strength of the transmission. I suppose that makes sense, as the housing is what keeps the oil and transmission in place, but the gearing is what takes on the majority of the force. Awesome demonstration as always!

[@dimitar4y]

issue is.... The gearing is on two shafts.... Held together by the housing!

[@chriseverett6355]

AMAZING, Well done Guys 👏🏻

[@ferna2294]

There isn´t a clearer way of learning than watching this in action. Thank you!

[@thomascee]

You guys are so much fun! Love this.

[@jeremiahlyleseditor437]

Great Video I finally can see what splash lubrication is like inside. If it was a CVT it might have already failed.

[@videowatchaccount]

Can you get a hold of the prints for the casing? Plexiglass will be stronger, plate on either end and heat bent body, but will need machining to get bearing seats and such in the right place.

[@rb3425]

I am amazed it held together as well as it did. I was sure the shaft bearings were going to spin in that resin housing but they didn't!

[@tylermiddaugh1515]

A quick method to make the frosted finish see thru, just put clear packing tape on it. You can see how this works by trying it on frosted privacy glass.

[@nigelterry9299]

Wow! Fabulous. Can you do a see thru automatic?

[@nathanhale7444]

Ya'll made that look easy but that was an insane amount of precision work to make that work.

[@Audimeisterable]

Cool thing, thanks for your effort & the Team

[@BowsettesFury]

That was seriously impressive. I figured it would blown itself to pieces under load because of the bearings becoming unseated. Not based on their work but because of the material being inherently weaker. Seeing it move under load is just insane ❤😂👍

[@erkinalp]

solution: make it massively connected through a brake
