I like the Rep from Tremec. He seems to be a true enthusiast and knows his stuff and he didn't try to shove some marketing bullshit on us. Great job guys.

OMG this guy really knows his stuff. I'm pretty sure this is the best marketing guy to ever appear on JLG

“It’s sounds small...but, it’s big” truer words have not been spoken!

Kudos to Michigan's Tremec for sending a guy who knows the product inside-out. Too often I see sales/marketing guys on JLG who just repeat bland talking points, and don't know squat about the product. Great video!!

I learned a boatload from this video. Man, that guy can talk transmissions in a way that anyone can understand. Tremec needs to utilize Nate the most they can.

Tremec has great representation for sure. Their marketing guy is first class. Definitely knows their product.

Smart down to earth bloke who seems to know his product.

Way to go Jay, your transmission is now paid in full.

Wow, that is what I call a great great marketing director. Knows a ton of technical information and can explain it and get it across to potential customers extremely well.

Some of the best sponsored content I've seen on youtube! Informative, entertaining.

"They can speak English"

I put a tremec in everything I own. Even my lawnmower

This is one of the few sponsored bits I have ever enjoyed watching. It seemed like the fellow really wanted to help enthusiasts, and not just push parts. Good on Tremec.

Glad you finally did a video with them Jay. You seem to love their products and they defiantly deserve the cred.

It's like my dad says, cheap aint good, and good aint cheap. That definitely applies here.

I built a 383 Stroker for my 57 Chevy and got a Tremec T56 Magnum 6 speed for it, Can't wait to put it all together!!!!!

Tremec rep was cool, knew his product inside and out, kinda a guy ready to jump under the car and help.

Jay Leno is like a friend to us companies. he should have like a convention or something with all these companies.

I built a 383 Stroker with 550 hp and a Tremec T56 Magnum 6 speed for it. Can't wait to put them together!!!!!!

I'll never own a sports car, or a classic car... I'll never replace a tranny. I still watch these videos for some reason.

Lifetime fluid means the lifetime of the warrantee.

Nate from Tremec did a great job explaining the products. Very professional when mentioning competitors and customers.

That rep knows his stuff

This was perhaps my favorite guest on this channel. Actually worth listening to.

I HAD A GREAT DAY TODAY AT ROLEX MOTORSPORT REUNION IN MONTEREY, MET ALL THE FORD FAMILY AND AARON SHELBY, TOMORROW IM OFF TO THE PEBBLE BEACH CONCOURSE AND HOPE TO RUB ELBOWS WITH YOU JAY.

Nate Tovey - the Tremec Marketing Director was impressive. I'm used to Jay exhibiting encyclopedic knowledge of all things automotive. But Nate stood toe to toe while being taped for a KZfaq channel. It speaks highly of the operation that Tremec is running.

Jay on a mission about TREMEC Transmissions.

They're 100% right. The biggest regret i had was not just buying a new transmission from tremec. I got some shitpile off of craigslist for $2200 and had to spend $1200 on top of that just to get it working right. When i could have just bought a brand new magnum for $3000.

Tremec is good stuff... enjoy the product review videos!

I have the magnum in my Yugo because of the extra torque capacity.

_"Back in the day"_ Jay's favorite line

I work in the truck industry in Europe and almost everything related to transmission is Zf stuff and yeah it's so a pain to work with them sometimes, I own a few Bmw with zf manual and autos transmissions, sometimes I'd rather have the rattle from the Getrag than the Zf shifter stucked in front of 5th or the fear of a blow clutch pack in the 4hp-22 after smog test..

That dude knew his stuff. Nice to see that...

I have a tko 500 fitted in my 1982 SS Commodore (Australian GM) 308 cubic inch motor ... the tremec is fantastic ... love it!! Jay your the best .. cheers from down under

That 6-speed is YUGE! I bet when an LS is bolted to one it looks like a transmission with an engine hung off it.

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.... 😎

I too use Tremec in all my builds, I even put a high revving number in my wife's thrashed old vibrator. She's got smiles for miles now

That dude knows his stuff!

would have been nice to see inside at least one of the transmissions BUT I can't believe how mesmerized I got by this video couldn't stop watching and was able to visualize everything Nate talked about and even learned a some things

I appreciate that Jay reinforced several times that we hot rodders are often on a low budget!

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.

Thank you both Jay and Nate. I never realized how versatile Tremec transmissions are. Very informative, and of course thumbs up for this video.

I've always been a HUGE fan of Jay "The Big Dog" since the 80's and 90's.

I retrofitted one of those Tremec TR-3550 units in my 1963 Studebaker Avanti, and I did it primarily to have the benefit of the overdrive. I still have the original transmission, and it could go back into the car if ever needed. But the car sure is a whole lot nicer to drive now, especially on the interstate.

I love tremecs

Just have to say the tremic 5 speed in my 02 GT Mustang was excellent!! I put intake/exhaust/larger injectors/ecu tuning/electric fuel pump/coil over kit and sticky rubber on it back in the day and the transmission held up very well under some hard driving. It came with a nice heavy clutch already. All I did was install a short throw shifter cause hitting third from 2nd was awful. But, I never had a problem with it ever !!

Thanks for this video Jay!

Happy Birthday Jay 🎉

Jay's new hairstyle is fetching.

Nice to see someone who really knows there product

Jay stopped using the smartwatch!!!! God is real

The combed back look is new for Jay.

Electronic & mechanical tachometer hook ups that's great. Mechanical really gives u that "feel" as if your one w the machine.

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.

Best Jay hair ever. Thank God somebody had a word with him. Now, shave that gut down.

I like Nate he seems to really know his stuff

Jay Leno trying to save a buck on transmissions..

Iove my t56 that i just swapped in. They really did something right when they made the t56, and continued to perfect it in the magnum

What the hell? Jay's done his hair!

Good education on the Tremec. Thanks Jay.

When Jay does an infomercial, he makes sure we all learn something = whoops = some people refuse to learn.

Thanks for the lesson. Very Interesting to know. Keep it coming Jay you are giving back in buckets. Thank you.

I wonder, would Tremec Transmissions be good for MK2, MK3, MK4 Supra's? Specially the Turbo versions?

Tremec guy looks a bit like wee man!

Excellent

Love u Jay. Don't know why am saying that, but I love you and your passion to the cars. Great man.

This what I like to see. A company representative who knows this products he selling not just reading off the brochure

very informative ,and the rep. guy knew his stuff! thanx Mr Leno Dano

That's alot of cool knowledge makes me want to be a transmission expert.

Cool vid, nice to hear a guest know his stuff.

I've been seriously considering swapping a TKO 600 into my early Nova that currently has a 350TH in it. While the Bare Transmission is about $2450 from Summit Racing, the cost to do a complete conversion is in the neighborhood of $4500-$5000, depending upon what parts you use to complete the conversion...

Great stuff, more of these please!

James May described this transmission as something out of some earth moving equipment (like shifting a tractor.)

Thanks Jay, we love you , you ROCK!!!!! The BIG DOG.

i was hoping they would bring a cutaway demonstrator. i am actually very interested in learning more about transmissions

He was on Hot Rod Garage or maybe Roadkill. He stood on a box next to Finnigan so he wouldn't look so short.

Great quick explanation, a lot less of a sales spiel and more of a quick and dirty 'why this brand works'. Looking forward to more parts reviews. Its hard to deny how different today's performance market would be without the Fox Mustang. So easy to build fast and plentiful, hard to deny that that energy and huge aftermarket helped make today's big 3 pony's possible.

I love the T-56 in my Camaro. Just wished they had made 2nd gear synchros stronger .

He invented the short throw shifter!

Is that jay’s actual garage. It’s really nice.

JAY! How about a Q&A for your fans?

Besides the adaptability, it would be wonderful to know the advantages of these over a stock manual transmission. Some have said you don't need to clutch these to shift.

A transmission is the last thing you want to have to pull more than once in your life time in a car. So, this, is one part i always keep well clean, and serviced, and with as good enough a unit as money can get.

Top class example of cardboard box positioning to be seen in this video lol !

My vette has the 6060 love that transmission

Thanks for the post.

that t5 i tell had in my fox body stang and took a beating no issues

I'm sold!

Jay, thank god you're doing infomercials about transmissions instead of all that boring stuff about cars that I'm sure many of your fans (including me) mistakenly click on to watch...

Love my TR6060 in my ZL1!!

COOL High Performance Transmissions - Jay Leno's Garage

5:52 I'm feeling fancy. Is that wrong?

Thanks for all this information, I'm doing a build up Jay you great

Love the show is there a 1440p quality in the works?

Thanks Jay!

Thanks Jay good info, as always. I hardly recognized you your hair is so neat! But the wardrobe gave you away. LOL

Awesome transmissions.

The Magnum is pretty much the only option now for JZA80 (mkiv) supra owners if they are looking to convert to a 6 speed because Getrag no longer support the V160 or V161. Don't even get me started on how much it will cost me to convert mine over from a 5 speed W58 in Australian dollars. A man can dream.

I like the crate engine approach everything you need to make it work standalone in a box this makes it more likely to get your project finished

I love this channel.
