Richard don’t be sorry for any language you are sharing knowledge thats priceless

Thank you Richard and Teresa for showing us the '63 Pontiac full size!

This man knows his stuff. Incredible.

I absolutely LOVE this channel! Yourself, Muss Tjeresa dn Miss Annie are just amazing. Your work is positively awesome, and I continuento learn from each episode. I was truly hoping that you would make a video on the physical rebuild of the C4 transmission... ir even better a C6. I own a 66' Thunderbird, that is all original... COMPLETELY original. She has the big 428 backed with the C6. I have iwned the car for just shy of 30 years and I purchased it from the oeuginal owner who spec'd out in the late summer of 1965, and took delivery in March of 1966. The entire car has been lovingly maintained and serviced transmission included each and every year. To the best of my kniqledge the transmission has necer been out of the car, but regularly serviced. She has 78,000 on he odometer 46,800 I have put on over the years. There is no clunking, ticking or any noise coming from the transmission. It averages roughly 1500 a year. Is it worth having the teansmission pulled just to inspect, or do I continue what myself and "Charlie" have done for 58 years? Thank you for anoher wonderdul video. Much live n prayers from my family to yours.🙏💜

I’ve been waiting for a Richard Crich master-class tear down and analysis of a Ford transmission.

It’s awesome watching this Guy tear down Th400’s and Th350’s

I think it's wonderful that you have these video's. Not only do you show how the transmissions are assembled and how they fail, but the vehicle owners can also see what went wrong and what it takes to fix it.

As always, a joy to learn new tricks and procedures from the master.

Nice to see another 4r75 tranny on the table. I've rebuilt mine in my service van based on your videos of former "patients" and I've got way more experience on these than I ever wanted. All I can say is thank you for these incredible, AND incredibly informative, videos. They help many people from pros to idiots (me) who should have put the tools down 4 steps ago. My tranny works because of you and I had a great time rebuilding and learning something other than engines. Nice job and thank you to you both. BTW, the part of the video you got confused on the bearing.... so did I only to find out after installation. I was not happy.

Good morning Richard and Teresa and of course Annie 😃💜👍👍

That is a bitchin ride that you have in your shop 671 blower And all . Make up be with you and your family.Have a wonderful 4th of July. Bless you guys

Now, that was bit of a learning curve. Very interesting Video, keep 'em coming!

I'm glad you have boy's to share your knowledge with my two daughters don't care about cars and I build trans, engines and differentials. I'm also ok with wiring shorts but they care nothing about learning

The blower is more for show. You can get massive pressure and volume out of the procharger

Ooof even though I haven't worked on those things in 25 years, I still remember the part #s. 7D100 and 7C155 valve body gaskets....7902 torque converter and it goes on and on and on. Why would I know? Cuz we did a whole bunch of them back in the day. There were so many of them. But, that is what is also cool about Ford part numbers....same basic number applies to every transmission or whatever you're working on. I like Ford part numbers...they also make excellent passwords for computer stuff.

Great Videos!!!!

Cases have not really changed much over the years but the guts and valve bodies sure have.

Nice video guys.

Greetings from Doreen & Abraham in Rockford Illinois

Glad you left in the language "slip". Makes you more human LOL

AOD days: disconnect the throttle rod, do 2 or 3 full throttle shifts and you'd be guaranteed to have a burned up direct clutch. Even with the anemic 302s in front of the box. Many Ford techs would do that just to make sure there was no question the thing needed a rebuild. They were durable but felt like a dog just because of the design. 4th to third and third to fourth always felt sooo delayed in those things...like it had to think a little while before shifting. But, they did work well.

Happy Fourth 💥 Of July 😊

1971, i had a chance to buy 100, 6-71 blowers For $50 each. New still in the box.. I couldnt find anyone to recieve them on the West Coast. I was going to Engineman school for the Coast Guard.. Bummer.

That synthetic fluid doesn't get too much stink or discoloration. It'll puke out of the vent or dipstick tube real quick when hits the boiling point.

1st CORVAIR SummerTime Fun View!!!

I enjoy marvelling at your expertease while watching these videos. Why does it seem that 80% of your work is on GM transmissions, and only 20% is on Ford and Chrysler transmissions?

I’m always looking for the elusive 12 point 10mm standard length 3/8” drive socket. They are usually hiding in the 3/8” drive standard rack.

2:26 into video, my guess is one of two things, and they both center around the direct clutch - either the clutch is gone or the stub shaft splines are stripped. I'll continue to watch to see what's up!

To bad no one makes a clean burn A/C unit for the shop huh Richard. That would be sweet.

Id like to see an assembly video.... even if it is several episodes.... Is that a possibility ? Have a great Independence day!

Part failure ! Sad. Likely would have kept on going many more years. Keep 'em running...

I'm a Ford guy but it looks like a real pain in the ass transmission.. with lots of things that go bad even if you don't burn rubber too often.. looks like the transmission could deteriorate just by sitting there...😮

I had the transmission rebuilt in my 04 Expedition back in 2021. I don't think it was done right. It slams into 2nd gear, the OD blinks but it does go into OD. It started leaking fluid after the 1-year warranty went out. I guess I'll keep driving it until it goes out again. I have to add fluid every couple of months so that's not too bad

Uh aint that an expedition? Cuz explorers got 5R55S/W's

Why and how is that pump so good and others wear out by default?

Could this high pressure issue you mentioned cause oil to pour out the front seal? I just removed the trans from my Mustang, the seal is only 4 years old and looks brand new but it was puking oil everywhere. Thanks

How long before u do a turbo 400 for street strip use

********** SHIT COME TO FLORIDA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where is his shop located?

No AC in the shop Richard?

I jumped many vehicles, many times. On purpose. Just saying. There are plenty of dorks who should not have made it out of their teens but did. :)

Shame one defective part ruined a good build.

Man the fluid is gone...

I call BS on your comment on oil being in the electrical connector. 1st since when has oil been conductive, 2nd the other end of the wire is UNDER/SUBMERGED oil. 3rd if this is the case every car on the road would not run because your fuel pump is also SUBMERGED in gasoline.

So basically what you’re saying is this transmission? It’s a piece of junk😅.

easy peasy lemon squeezy!!!,,,,,,,,,not for me !!!!

I'll leave the Fords to guys like you Rich and stick with the GM stuff.

Fluid in the connector will do nothing to the connector besides leak fluid. If the fluid could “short” wiring or anything, it would do it inside the pan also.

THE THUMB 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😆😆😆😆😆
