Another great video with another quote that can be advice for life from Mr. O: Don't be a Dingdong. I will never need to do such work on my cars but there is always so much small stuff in these videos that are great "all around tips" for life. In the first video I was really amazed by how you heated up the rusted bolts from the exhaust for just a second and they came right off. Useful to know for the future when I encounter such bolts. Came here from BigClive when he checked out one of these Astro-Lights and clones of it years ago. Your videos are more than just teaching "car-stuff".

In the early 1980s I used to build automatic transmissions. I also did remove and replace when needed on the floor…And was pretty good at it. One day my boss was telling me about how he was able to remove an aluminum powerglide transmission out of an early 60s Chevy in 11 minutes. So I told him I was going to take him up on the challenge. The next time we had an early 60s car Chevy car come in that had an aluminum powerglide transmission I was able to remove it in nine minutes. Bolts were flying everywhere. He was pissed afterwards. Haha

Never seen anyone put in a new transmission they bought. Around here we have a very good, popular transmission shop. They can tear that tranny out, rebuild it inside top to bottom to almost bullet proof. Then, put it back in and drive it out of the shop in around 4 hours or so. Dudes are good. Last tranny I had rebuilt they put a shift kit in it so it hit a bit hard but it was totally rebuilt with everything, all the way. Even moved the trans lines off of the radiator into a separate cooler out front for me to keep it running cooler (never saw it over 190 until heavy towing my RV, but averaged around 180 or so normally. And if you felt your oats and punched the accelerator on wet pavement it would rock those tires every shift...lol. That's about all these guys do, though, so they know how to rebuild one right. Of course, they had specialty tools either bought or made to do the job...transmissions were all they did and still do. Glad I didn't have to do it. Last one I pulled was the one I destroyed in my parent's van in 1984...turbo 350. Learned my lesson on flooring it and shifting it into gear..lol. Typical teenager. Destructive until I was made to repair what I destroyed. Taught me one thing major though...take care of your autos and don't be a d*ck. Take care.
