We make a see-through gearbox for a Lada

[@whitesapphire5865]

Try adding a big neodymium magnet to the bottom pane, then run the box for a while, and see if you can determine how much of that metal glitter in the oil is actually from wear and tear of the ferrous metal gears, and how much of it is from cutting out the holes in the aluminium casing. Whereas the aluminium won't stick to the magnet, the ferrous particles will.

[@markchapman2585]

I was going to say the same thing

[@pauloconnor7951]

Isn't it a horendous amount of particles !!! WOW !!!!! :(

@Paul O'Connor it's an old car what do you expect? It's Not a Toyota.

[@damnfunnychicken]

yep same thought here...that would be pretty interesting.

[@keithyinger3326]

I also was wondering if it was just aluminum shavings from cutting the holes in the casings. A magnet on the bottom would be a good way to find out.

would love to see a seethrough automatic transmissions aswell

[@laurisdemons]

jea i agree too

[@teardowndan5364]

With automatics often being little more than a stack of planetary gears and clutch packs, there wouldn't be much to see from a housing cut-out.

Did the gear box get properly rinsed out after fitting the windows? The metal flakes in the oil could be from cutting the aluminum case.

[@SPW812]

I’m not sure they really care. Didn’t see much oil in that box either….

[@petelattimer6808]

@@SPW812 agreed. chances are the box was past its useable life anyhow before they hacked it up

[@hirnlegorush]

i guess the shavings came more from the flexing it open instead of letting it chooch without oil for a bit...btw - LED´s...next time put some LED´s inside for some nice lightning drip :)

[@busyguy7479]

this is educational and fun to see how a standard transmission works. kudos to you guys may GOD bless keep the vids coming.

[@Theleftroad]

Do you think the majority the metal shavings could be from grinding on the case?

[@Mastr-Tech]

Yep

[@tomtheplummer7322]

🤔🤷‍♂️

[@petelattimer6808]

looking at the colour of some of the shavings, i think its unlikely. the first gear sybcro/dog clutch ring in the gearbox looked well worn, compared to the one on second, for example

[@volvo09]

Yeah, unless it was damaged in the first place before they cut it. Running it dry for a moment of filming wouldn't have damaged it. Seeing how there was still lube on the gears when they ran it I don't believe they flushed it.

Another nice video, good work garage 54. Nice that the channel can teach you some "common sense" aspects of machinery that you won't learn in school but can be just as or more valuable than schooling.

That was pretty cool to see! Next time hold a magnet to the window, to show how an oilcap captures all the flakes. ;)

[@AlienLivesMatter]

Install a light source and camera into the crankcase to observe the oil splash, blowby and windage.

[@BlackPill-pu4vi]

Yes! That would also require a very high speed camera to capture all the action. Way too much going on to see with the eyes alone.

I'll bet that I am one of the few when a teenager that used to pull their transmission on a '55 Ford and replace the Cluster Gear on a regular basis! Trying to show off and shift hard on takeoff, the Cluster Gear was the first to go...

[@danbergthold3481]

Cool video! Since rear-view mirrors obstruct such a significant portion of our view through the windshield, I suggest you make a transparent rear-view mirror to rectify this serious safety shortcoming.

[@mariobaric1584]

Hi. I've been following your shows for a long time. One question. How would the original Lada engine behave if a turbocharger were installed? Thanks for the answer and even better for the video. Greetings from Croatia.

[@petelattimer6808]

pretty much the same as any other engine would with a turbo added. boost etc would have to be carefully kept in check as it may not be able to handle as much boost as a built/designed for boost engine, and compression ratios will be higher so will only be able to handle modest (up to about 10psi at best) of boost anyhow without knocking, and that assumes being able to get sufficient fuel into the engine (rejetted carb for example). adding a turbo to a diesel is, in some ways, a SLIGHTLY simpler affair, but not much as similar principles around fuelling etc apply, but the engines are largely unchanged internally (certainly on older cars of similar era to the Lada) boosted or not

[@twocvbloke]

Prety sure they've done that before, one I recall was an electric job done with a starter motor, made boost, power went up, just as a turbo should...

[@BlackPill-pu4vi]

I'd like to see what's called a "turbo-compound" arrangement. Instead of the turbo being used to cram more air-fuel mix into the engine, the exhaust turbo is directly driving the flywheel of the engine. It will be directly converting heat energy into mechanical energy, thus recapturing some of that lost heat. The turbo will have to be bolted in where the starter is currently located. Vlad will have to come up with an alternate way to start the engine. The turbo-compound idea was used in the DC-7 airliner. When it worked, the DC-7 had amazing climb and cruise performance. But, the metallurgy of the time wasn't up to the task and it would fry the exhaust valves all too quickly.

[@-A-Hybrid-Skunk-Productions-]

Awesome video. You guys at Team Garage 54 should go to auto shows with all the see through parts installed. I bet the people would looooove it. I know I would. Loooove this video. Thanks for sharing.

[@birddub27]

use a magnet to see how they collect the shavings

[@twocvbloke]

Well, I'd say it was more a "windowed" gearbox than see-through, but still fun to see all the gearing at work, and the oil (sparklies and all!) splashing about inside... :)

[@firdaus2581]

Amazing view inside

[@tondaty]

When i was a small kik i used to think that engine and transmission are full of oil up to the brim ... it would be nice to flush it so it stays see through longer and slowly add more and more oil and see the result, even try to drive it when it is full to see if it has any negative impact

[@twinstickpete]

Great 👍 video, Vlad

[@Mikej1592]

some say the metal is from cutting the housing, only 1 way to find out, high power magnet, if they dont stick then its Al from the trans case being cut, if they collect at the magnet point then guess what, gear shavings lol.

[@Lee01Mr]

A see through carburetor?

[@robd.4319]

the metal shaving are from cutting the trans to install the windows.

Video idea: make a jake brake, like trucks have to brake on the engine when they let of the gas but then for a car

[@petelattimer6808]

not sure how well it would work on a car. especially a petrol car. theyre effectively a 'blockage' in the exhaust, from memory, so a relatively simple concept

[@fuge74]

you can run a transmission for short periods without lubrication. its more about prolonged stress. there is always some metal in the oil. but if you pull off your transmission oil pan at home and have metal lie those shavings in the pan. go see a mechanic.

I'm doing this right now to my kia Sedona

What about converting a stock transmission to a dog box style one?

[@petelattimer6808]

dog box as in no synchros? or a sequential type one? many people think theyre the same thing, but theyre not. theres a reason the parts in a synchro box are called synchro rings and dog clutches. essentially all you do is remove them/stop them working (which is the main reason race/rally cars have to throttle blip/rev match on downshifts, to align everything so the gears can be selected going down the box. basically the same as driving a manual without using the clutch to change gears)
