Mike is a great friend. Genuinely a great person. You guys are awesome.

That cvt has a cartridge style filter behind the driver front wheel. If it’s never been changed you’ll really want to swap that out also.

I would NEVER let Walmart do my oil changes. EVER.

why dont you get a uhaul car dolly and tow it back ?

I called it in the last video on this car. You have a semi commercial vehicle with 177K city miles on a CVT transmission. I'd be surprised if this was the car's first one. But you did get to get greasy, play with the scan tool, and it kept you off the streets for awhile. Ok well, unless you count laying in the street or on the side of thee road. At least you didn't have to walk home this time lol.

The Noid definitely got to your car!

As for the transmission having metal in it, that is completely normal and it looks like it has less metal than it normally would which would indicate frequent transmission fluid changes.

The poor little car driven into the ground the poor thing

I L O V E your Uncle's house!! I hope you will always keep it and continue to restore it. A great get-a-way from life's hectic challenges.

Randy, I’m surprised you don’t have a tow dolly for the back of your pick up truck or go to U-Haul and rent a tow dolly to get it back home might be the easiest way to get it back to where it belongs at this point

The CVT in that generation Spark is known for crapping out after 100K. The newer Sparks 2017-2023 had a different CVT that’s been pretty good if you follow the 40K CVT service schedule.

You and MWM working together always leads to something keep up the grind yall love it ❤

Thats no good guys 😔 . Cvt belt is trashed Randy. The surge is actually the belt slipping.Thats why the pan & filter is full of metal IMO. My moms nissan was doing the same thing. I would just buy a remand transmission if need be. Goodluck & safe travels guys💯🤞👍🫡

The very best videos you make are the ones with Mike in them. I love the interaction and friendship! You two are great fun together!

I think the car was already having problems before it was purchased.

That lil toot toot pizza box car is hilarious. I laugh every time it bucks like a fox body.

Hey Randy I love watching your videos every morning before class or before getting out of bed, it motivates me to build my truck!

Great serie, can’t wait to see the sequel! Keep up the good work! Greetings from Milan, Italy!

monkey wrench Mike is a friend that you never want to lose...

The spark was manufactured in Korea by gm and developed by daewoo .Great video you and mwm.

Randy and Mike. My fav auto guys. Thanks for the content.

No pizza deliveries with that car!

Those JATCO came out of the factory like that lol so it's mint.

when dominos used those cars to deliver pizzas, I should ordered from Dominos. be there in 30 minutes or your pizza is free! I would got a lot of free pizzas back then. hahaha

Those CVT transmissions are crappy as they are the same ones Nissan used. You need the change the fluid with a special cvt fluid every 30k miles or they will die pre maturely. You probably have no maintenance records to see if it was done on time if ever. I really doubt what you are doing or planning on doing is going to be a permanent fix, it may be better for a little while but I am afraid the damage already done is just going to get worse. I hope I am wrong but based on my experience with those cars I am betting I am right. Good luck Randy.

I have a suggestion why don’t you rent a tow dolly from U Haul & tow that Tiny Noid Mobile back to Oklahoma . Also if you have a cvt transmission it has to be exact on the amount of fluid Or you can wipe out the transmission. They are that critical.

Lucas trans fix got me home from California to Tampa in my dodge van that was slipping so bad it would'nt pull itself

Always like when you and Mike are together. Laughs and good times! Hopefully changing the fluid will help the problem. I like the little pizza car. Fingers crossed it fixes it. Sorry you hurt yourself

Had that problem once years ago, dealer said the trans was going , went to trade it in and it broke down, had a defective coil, replaced coil and car ran like new.

That 100% definitely a fault with the CVT transmission, it also likely bump forward as well when you stop. I rebuilt a few of those transmissions and it a very common problem I seen myself to many times over the years. Thankfully not to hard to remove to do a rebuild. Most don’t realize you suppose to change CVT fluid every 30k if you want them to last. Due to metal that build up over time with these otherwise. Now with these yes it still will have metal in it if fluid changed often as well as how they wear. Reason fluid need to be changed every 30k. That fluid hasn’t been changed in a while as that pretty bad, sure be light brown greenish in color.

Being that you are servicing the transmission and knowing you’ll be driving it a distance trying and hoping to make it home , use the oem fluid which is ac delco for this car that is recommended. I never trust the generic transmission brand fluids from the parts stores . Future reference

The surging is the purge valve right on the top of the intake manifold the 1.4 turbo engines are known for it

Sounds like a JATCO unit 😂

ill just be blunt... that car was driven by pizza delivery employees. most likely high school/collage age people driving a car they don't pay for or care for. Id immediately assume that car had a ROUGH 177K miles, and id be surprised if that vehicle was still on the original transmission.

Chevys needs to replace the transmission at every 100k miles anyway your channel is really interesting cvt transmissions have a tendency to go bad for belts that are broken i had a 1996 Nissan altima with cvt transmission i ran the same issue i sold it out

I learned to never let wal-mart change my oil after they stripped out my oil plug and i had to fix it myself! Almost blew my car up because of the unexperinced staff! So ever since ive changed our own oil in all my cars.

One -way U-Haul rental trailer or car dolly. Save the aggravation and get there without another $$$ tow bill.

These horrors were sold as Dihatsu and even Chery, the joke car of the 21st Century. But this from Wiki shows us why you are so happy to buy it....anything modified by Roush and only 2 grand has to be a bargain!.: "...Domino's DXP The Domino's DXP (short for "Delivery eXPert") is a version 2015 Spark marketed in the U.S., which was customized by Roush Performance for Domino's Pizza where it was converted to a revival of a canopy express vehicle which was popular from the 1930s to the 1950s. Based on the mid-level 1LT trim of the Spark, the front and rear passenger seats are removed and replaced with storage compartments that can carry 80 pizzas, two 2-liter bottles of soda, and dipping sauces. The left rear passenger door is converted into a warming oven that can only be unlocked with the key fob or a button within the driver's door frame. The Spark's Chevrolet front grille is replaced with a custom-made black front grille with the "Domino's" logo, as well as a custom lower body kit, and all DXP cars have a custom Domino's-themed vinyl wrap with a lighted Domino's roof topper. Production is limited to less than 200 units and once each car reaches 100,000 miles, it will be retired and returned to Roush, where it will be restored to stock form and sold as a used Spark (all four factory seatbelts and airbags are left fully intact, and covered by plastic panels).[55][56][57] Despite the intentions of Domino's to eventually retire the DXP and leave none remaining, several wrecked DXPs have been salvaged by private individuals with the intention of retaining them as rare cars when the rest of the fleet is retired. The situation has resulted in threatened legal action by a Domino's franchisee...."

Great video. Grateful we have randy and mike in the world. 🎉 I can't say that for the Chevy. Someone else commented that the CVT belt is slipping and shaving off metal and it seems logical. Pizza guys drive these cars hard and it probably has never had the fluid changed. Its toast!

Great vid guys. We love this stuff. Hope you weathered the storms ok.

You guys lost weight. Good work

This car uses the same CVT transmission as the Nissan cars sadly

26:26-Mike's reaction 😮😮😮😮 Is priceless lol 😂😅

Hey Randy, Check the coils and plugs!!! I had a cvt car that was surging, changed the coil packs and plugs and it fixed it completely!!!!

Love watching Mike and Randy do videos always laughing with them together

That big bolt on the bottom of the transmission pan is there to know when you add enough fluid, (it's not a drain the transmission plug.) Basically, you use it know when the transmission is full as the vehicle is running You unscrew that and it should just be a little dribble coming out. That indicates the transmission needs fluid or drain until it a very light fluid coming out, if it's rushing out, you let it drain until it's a dribble. As i previously described, then you screw it back tight, and that lets you know. The transmission is full. Or you continue to add until you see a little bit coming out. A light and constant dribble. Indicate it's full. That's how CVT transmission are designed So you don't overfill or underfill the transmission.

Me getting car sick just watching the surges. lol. You guys are awesome! Keep up the great work.

I would so love to see you guys take off the wrap. And offcourse seeing it fixed. I love the dasboard in the car. What a lovely little car. So if you can fix or replace the transmission it would be an awesome little car for someone.

Great video and work guys😀🔥

Chy-Nuh LOL. Always a blast with Randy and Monkey Wrench! My bet is the Pizza car stays in Indiana for now. Too sketchy driving it on the highway doing that but I'll stay tuned to see what happens. 👍

Never keep changing fluid like that when you see clutch material like that in the fluid. New fluid cleans. Your basically washing out the transmission of film n built up deposits that will make the unit fail quicker. Cvt transmissions in cars usually don't work out good. Toyota seems to be the only ones capable of building a decent one in the prius.

I absolutely love your videos.

I didn’t know you were as close as you were I could have possibly helped I drove by today being Tuesday and seen the ole pizza car was gone!!

That bird looked a little like a green heron. Most herons are pretty big, but a green heron is about 50% larger than a robin. Robins typically lay varius shades of blue eggs but can sometimes lay green eggs. Those green eggs looked larger than robin eggs, though. Green herons have a longer beak than robins, and their chests are closer to brown, but with a slightly orange tint. They kind of look like they have a black Mohawk with a greenish tint, with the green tint more noticeable toward the back of their head. Anyway, good luck with the pizza mobile. BTW, my dad grew up in the Clay City, IN area.

Fantastic video guys... these Road Trip clips are cool... do more of them... how about having a video of you guys talking about the options at the Restaurants ... will add another dimension to your channel!

Yes randy they are robins we have them in Canada too and they are a common bird here. Oh I’m in Sudbury Ontario Canada.

Yay for the train in the background! 😊

I love these videos with monkey wrench Mike!!!!

American Robins are the birds on your porch. Great video today, keep em coming! ❤🎉😊

Mike is awesome, ngl I prefer to watch your videos when it’s just you in them but now seeing this video I like to see him more often 🙂🙂

What tripped me up is I didnt know anything about you guys but was randomly recommended the first video of the 2 about picking up the car. And the first line you spoke tripped me up so hard being someone from TH its funny to see someone recording and driving to places I am frequently or VERY close to. I work Very close to that Walmart.

If you'd only brought the trailer with you, there would be no problems if it breaks down on the journey; you'd have covered all the bases !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Forward planning !!!!!!!!!! But good fun either way.

its good to see Monkey Pox Mike is back!

I've never heard the phrase "we're going to do the right thing and go to Wall-mart" before.

Full trans idling with that big nut out of the pan. When it trickles out, it's full.😅

Love this series

Nice, will watch on Monday.😃

Keep up with the great videos

Well ,,, if all else fails ,,,, you can always deliver pizza... love your videos,,, have a great day .....

every cvt that I have serviced that internal filter has been plugged completely, if it is a Jatco the filter will be where the cooler lines come out, if it plugs then no cooling, the high pressure pump overheats and it does what that one is doing cvts run 2,000 psi a regular trans about 200 psi, it may be too late for this one, I do not have a good feeling about it,

To be honest, it’s been a week and a day. 22:10, unfortunately at the beginning of the video, you gave us a cliffhanger and the other day you showed the car at your house, so I don’t want to comment on if the car will make it or not. 25:30, the security light could be from the battery in the key. Doing work like this Randy, how many smart watches have you went through??

You guys are funny as hell together

Hi Randy and Mike more fun problem solving with pizza car

When I first sat in a Chevy Aveo. My first thought was oh hell no. I don't like sitting on a rock

Mike nailed it, there robins

The classic Shh-Shhh-Shit!

Love videos like this

That sucks about the car. I wished I could have got to meet you and Mike while you were in town.

Not even Bozo would drive that car !!! Why waste ur time Randy… u still Rock though 🧟‍♂️

Yeah the GM dealer told me the same thing " Trans is sealed no need to change the fluid" had GM not given dog crap advice on these they would probably last a lot longer with regular fluid changes every 30k miles.

I started working for Dominos awhile ago, but just recently got lost in the sauce. My life is Domino's. Welsome to my life. Very jealous you have your own pizza car. ❤️

It's so nice to finally hear you say silicone correctly, now if you would only say miles PER gallon. 😁👍

Security Light Means your Pass Key III is going bad. Needs a new key programmed at the dealer

Those clunks made me think you got rearended, after you bought it! Thank God Mike is there with you, just to keep you from setting it on fire!

I love your videos and the pizza car is hilarious 😂

Is it weird that I’m watching a video about a Dominos car, while eating Dominos?

Yall are amazing

The bands, Elwood...the bands😂

"I'm still surging!" DJ Icey 👌👌

I like the old mechanical engines and transmissions. All this computerized garbage is just more to go wrong especially on a pizza delivery car that was beat on by some 16 year old delivery driver rushing to deliver pizzas. Give me a 1970's car with manual everything - motor, transmission, heck even crank up windows! Hey Samcrac! Want a Chevy Spark Domino's delivery car?

16 seconds in and we've had hot oil, 2 'shits' from Randy, and Mike's trademarked 'this ain't good' laugh! 😅

I had a 76 Dodge Colt that had the transmission from hell. This brought back memories. It died so many times I got to know the AAMCO guys in 3 cities. Thank God for lifetime warranty. When I traded it in they called me a few weeks later and said the transmission blew up. I freaked when my 85 Toyota had black metal fluid and shifted into N on R hand turns. I had transmission prob with my explorer and my Ford Ranger. I really feel for you. I still freq check the fluid. I hate that sploosh sound the pink fluid does when it blows. I said a little.prayer for you. Take care.

Hey guys good luck you are going to need it hellow randy an Mike see yall in the next videos

I'm not sure how long ago you made this video but you could just go to U-Haul and get one of those front wheel dollies tow it behind your brand new Dodge ram and get it back to your house in Oklahoma? If you really afraid it won't make it I don't think one of them dollies are real expensive you don't have to get a whole trailer since its front wheel drive just put it on that s*** you don't even know it's back there it's such a tiny car good luck guys.

Did the trouble code "POS" pop up? JK! Love your stuff young man.

Damn this video was a suspense rollercoaster! Fixed, not fixed, fixed, not fixed 😂

CVT transmissions are the biggest mistake in car manufacturing since plastic valve retainers. Pure junk, likely on purpose for planned obsolescence. Most transmission shops don’t even touch them and will only replace with a new one if they do it at all. That usually results in a repair bill more than the car is worth. Best thing to do at this point is junkyard hop for one and hope you can get one with some life left in it and swap it. A crashed car “usually” means it was drivable when crashed. If it’s sitting there not crashed, it may be the same problem you’re facing now.

I wouldnt let Wal Mart put air in my bicycle tire

"sealed 4 life" till the warranty goes out 😂

✔️ out the camshaft position sensor. I had a similar problem with my 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser.
