Will this Transmission be PERFECT for the ULTIMATE ROCK CRAWLER build?

[@kstricl]

I built a couple Ford transmissions in the past. The difference between a 3 speed and a 4 speed is a lot more than a person might think. An ATSG manual definitely makes a huge difference for an amateur builder like me.

[@virgilpayne2804]

I live only 20 min. from JB custom fab. Jon and Ronda are super nice people. They build awesome products! Jon designed a quadruple stick shifter for me and Ronda welded it together for me.

[@DonAshcraft]

I'm self taught at everything I do. And this video was impressive. I'm sure Michelle realizes that he's an amazing mechanic with a wealth of knowledge. But I wonder if she knows that professional schooled working mechanics often will never touch transmissions because they're just too difficult and complex. That's why transmission shops are completely separate and that's all they work on. Here he has that make of transmissions completely memorized and likely with no formal training just working with people who taught him. And what he taught himself. It's a basic attitude from the start of (sometimes arrogantly with myself) thinking nothing is too complex for me. And thinking I can teach myself that. That's what makes the best self-taught people. And it saves on tuition fees too! Hahaha

[@qotyit1655]

Lol Michelle. Getting oils on you is a right of passage into the workshop. :) Also great camera work, as this is the first time I have seen the inside of a transmission. Really interesting to Paul. Oh and Loooove.... the green. Very nice! :)

[@dankingsbury9971]

Yeah, I think Michelle was more worried about the camera getting schmoo on it.

[@thedave513]

Paul says he's gonna do this and this and then that and some more of the other and some of that again and back up a bit cause I forgot this or that and then... On and on it goes. All this, that and the other makes my head spin. Another large dose of inadequacy for me. Thanks Fab Rats. Love your content even though I need therapy afterward. ;-)

[@jimshoe6828]

Paul, that is one long transmission set up, hope the rock crawler is long enough 😉 I like that you keep the oops in the videos, they are the real deal. I hate it when I think I am done and notice a part sitting someplace that I know needs to go in somewhere deep into the thing I was working on 😞😩

[@paulshannon4576]

So is the doubler to give you lower gearing or higher gearing for the highway? I worked at a heavy truck dealership and a customer brought in a F-600 that he was using to move big hay bails. He had the shop put in a diesel, 4 wheel drive and the transmissions. If I remember it was a 6 speed manual with a 2 speed brownie with a 2 speed transfer case. When it was finished the mechanic took it out in the lot and put it in 1st, low, 4 wheel low. Got out and walked beside it to check out clearance. I think he was just showing off. 😁

[@phantomwalker8251]

its for low range. crawling. because he has an auto,1st isnt low enough. if he had a zf 5 sp. or nv4500,with a 1356 transfer.. it wouldnt matter.. but you yanks like your auto,s.. i have 4.11 diffs,35,s. zf 5sp. 1356 transfer. i drive down hills in low.. why,,its a ford..brazilian 6 cyl tdi,with 700nm..std ford product..

I watch another KZbin channel, a transmission rebuilding channel and he's been rebuilding transmissions for 40 years, the #1 thing that he suggests is to allow to soak all the clutches and steels in ATF.

What is your doubler? Last THM400 I built was 1987. One night I tore 2 400’s apart so that I could have a long tail stock, and Joe could have a short tail stock. Mine was a variable pitch torque converter, from a 1966 Buick Electra 225. I put it in to a 1974 GMC C10 350, with 3.42 gears. In low gear, in low range of the torque converter, 1000 rpm, not even moving. In low gear, in high range of the torque converter, 1000 rpm, 13 mph. On a 600 mile trip across northern Montana, through Glacier National Park, Going To The Sun Highway, I was never short of power for the climb up The Garden Wall. Yet my highway mileage was 21.2 miles per gallon. Very respectable for a pickup of those years with a full sized camper on it, also had a pass through, the pickup A/C kept us a nice 70°f on a 95° to 105°day. I have to thank my Automatic Transmission Instructor Mike Wajowick at Northern Montana College for the idea of the dual range 400’s. Hello from north east Montana. 10 miles from the Canadian border.
