Thank you so much for this truly awesome video on the GM history, Prof. Kelly! Your knowledge, collection of the old fluids, AND many of the transmission models themselves I bet is among the best in the world - incredible. Would love to be able to see and study them more in person:-). Those 2nd and 3rd gen Hydramatics from the late 50s early 60's were bizarre designs indeed. Can't wait for the next videos!

Professor Kelly, I watch a lot of KZfaq videos and this presentation was by far the best I have ever watched, it was professional from start to finish and you did it all with no ego involved. I look forward to watching many more of your instruction videos. I have a new purchase to me in 2023, a cherry 2019 Corvette Z06 with only 3500 miles on it and I have an appointment to get the trans flushed tomorrow. Now I know all the questions to ask, thank you.

I very much enjoyed this historical look at transmission fluids. I was a Buick tech in the 1960's and 70's when Buick introduced the Super Turbine 400 transmission (in 1964). Buick designed and developed the ST400 and after the 1964 model year the transmission was "corporatized" and given over to the other divisions. Its manufacture was then turned over to the Hydramatic Division of GM and became the Turbo Hydramatic 400. The original Dexron fluid contained whale oil (I think to control certain types of corrosion). Later when there was a world-wide ban on the hunting of sperm whales, GM removed the whale oil and reformulated the Dexron fluid. What GM didn't realize was that the new formulation contained chemicals that attacked the solder in the radiator oil coolers and resulted in engine coolant entering the transmission, and transmission oil entering the engine coolant. Needless to say the coolant ruined the transmissions and required full overhauls (or replacements) under warranty. Additionally, the chemicals attacked the metals used in the transmission thrust washers and resulted in failure of those. This was when GM started to use plastic thrust washers in light thrust locations and Torrington needle thrust bearings in more heavily loaded areas. As you might imagine, this was a very expensive warranty expenditure period for the General.

I remember the whale oil used in the GM transmission fluid. I thought it was good "for life" fluid in ST/TH400 util it was changed when the whale oil was banned.

Thank you for reminding me. I totally forgot about the traction control system switch. No one was prepared for this snowstorm and I had tunnel vision at the time. Maybe the other vehicles were stuck because they didn’t turn off their traction control. The best thing that came from the snowstorm is that I had 13.5hrs of “Quality Father and Daughter Time...” that I will always remember. You are one of the best professors out there. Your information is keeping me busy and learning which makes my children think that I’m one of the smartest Dad’s in the world...

What a tremendous undertaking. You executed it with distinction and confidence. This is without a doubt the most detailed and thorough examination of any aspect of mechanical evolution I have ever seen. I can't imagine the hours of research you put into this. I'm somewhat a GM history buff, but learned so much here I'm completely amazed. I didn't think anyone anywhere had an understanding of this sort of history on the level you present so beautifully here. I've been watching your videos for the last few weeks, having discovered them just recently, and have not been disappointed by any of them. This one stands out as truly a work of art. I am now a sub, and will be visiting your Patreon site. If I ever run across a can of Dexron IIE, I'll be sending it to you. I'm looking forward to the rest of the series, and to following along the rest of your videos. Between Paul Danner's work and yours, I feel as though I am going to college all over again. I wish my college age sons had attended your school. Really good teachers are rare, because it's much harder to teach a subject than to understand it. You transmit that understanding efficiently and in an entertaining manner. I remember what I have learned from you. Thanks Professor!

Thanks for a super informative and interesting video! I remember warco fluids and being told to steer clear of it. I brought my '59 Ambassador to my high school auto shop in 1974 to change its trans. fluid. I used Quakerstate type a suffix a and remember the strong order it had which told you it was not like motor oil. Ironically it started shifting erratically afterwards. Was fine before that! My instructor told us that a.t.f. had very high detergent content and loosend up deposits. I did not remove the pan and change the filter. Live and learn!.

I found your videos after watching a guy disassemble a 50 Olds Hydramatic. I have a 52 Olds Super 88 w/ hydramatic and my buddy told me I could use Dexron lll and I've been trying to verify. I'm also having a problem with reverse lockup pawl engaging when I'm trying to back up and wondered if that had to do with the fluid. Your video was very long and a couple of the others I've watched on the hydramatic weren't exactly short, but I've definitely learned a lot of stuff. But geeeeez man, it's almost 8am and I haven't been to bed yet lol And now I see there are so many more videos for me to watch. Keep up the good work

something stupid of me but i hurd that prier to 1970 wale oil was used for automatic transmissions wether that's true or not i don't know because im not " a old timer " ( a hint i came in to this world after the gm 700R4 was in mainstream use but before the 6l80E ) and maybe it's a wise tail that the older baby boomers coworker mechanics told me

I sure wouldnt want you to open the GM #1 can that was a cool find in it self ! I do remember the Red Lable ATF and Quakerstate Dexron II c cans Might even have a full one at my dads place . I warned some people at wally World the other day to check their manual before dumping any fluid in their car .. sure is confusing now ! Thanks for your work !

@dew I find the older design more complicated.

Interesting learned a lot thank you. The original mini automatic gearbox used sump oil!

Thank you, it started out small and ballooned into a huge research effort. It was fun though.

The Turboglide was Designed and promoted by Frank Winchell-a later GM Vice President. I had the honor to work as a technician with him when GM brought him back from retirement as an engineering consultant in the late 1980s at the GM Proving Ground on a brakes project.

Lots of awesome info here. Being a trans rebuilder for 40+ years and specializing in vintage transmissions, I do have a few small disagreements, but it doesn't amount to very much! I'm looking forward to watching more of your videos!

@@WeberAuto, they were small potatoes. Like the years that a certain transmission was in production. A Cast Iron Dynaflow never upshifted. They did have variable Pitch after 1955. Dual Coupling Hydramatic was introduced in 1956. Roto Hydramatic did not have a Variable Pitch. Iron Power Glide ended in 1962. I learned quite a bit from your video and I watched it right through. If I can offer you any assistance, please let me know. Congratulations!

Just a fantastic video for anyone who works on cars professionally or the hobby mechanic who is changing their own fluids. Makes me wonder if some of this is the reason that manufactures are going away from changing fluids in many cases or delaying at least until the warranty is over. The chance that a lube shop or the owner will choose the wrong fluid seems relatively high.
