Nate is a great person and very knowledgeable about Tremec BUT on the TKO 5spd he only indicated that there are 3 SHIFTER LOCATIONS WHEN THERE IS ACTUALLY 4 LOCATIONS.... Yes, that large 4-bolt cover on top of the main transmission case cover that holds the 3 gear selector shafts is where a front mounted shifter can be located! Now, please don't anyone bet against me on this, because as a former TKO Technician of a ELITE TREMEC DEALER ( 1 of 13 in the world at that time around 2010 ) I was responsible for installing FRONT SHIFTERS on TKO TREMECS that left our distribution/research center, including more than a few that went to Roy Brizzio's custom car building shop. I left that ELITE DEALER in 2013 because my dad had a heart attack and could no longer care for his estate by himself so I relocated there over 200 miles away.... Like I said Nate is a great guy ( I think I cohosted the Tremec Booth once in 2009 at ZMAX DRAGWAY in Charlotte NC in 2009 ) but for some reason tonight upon seeing this video I felt the need to correct the oversight of the FRONT SHIFTER LOCATION because I am very proud of the status of the work I did using this location.... 😎

Good discussion on transmission fluid changing. It's pretty easy, and for some new autos, there's no need to change the filter since it's just a wire screen for catching large debris, so easier than engine oil in that way, and harder since you may have to lift the entire car to access the drain.

God, it makes me think of the Jaguar. A 2000 XJ8. San Francisco hills. Something failed in it..a part that should have been metal to begin with. So, I get the rebuilt. Labor will get you. Rebuilt lasted me about two years. No, actually, only a few months. One section got a crack in it, and it turned out other Jags had the same problem with their rebuilts. So, that was covered, being under a year. It was interesting to look at the inside of the section that failed. It's like an ant farm for the way the walls were designed for fluid movement. So, I babied the repaired one. Then that transmission lasted me two years. Brutal. Had to give up the car.

Manuals are pretty straight forward. Gear stacks and shift forks essentially. Find a cheap manual and split the case on it. Put it back together then see if you can turn the input shaft by hand while it's in gear. If you can, you put it back together right. It don't take much to figure one out and in my opinion hands on is the best way to start with something thats cheap or garbage. Automatics on the other hand, they are powered by witchcraft.
