When you are working with automatic transmissions there is no 'speed run" , you have to take your time,look and look some more, check everything twice, definitely not a job for folks in a hurry,mistakes like these will kill your wallet and make you wanna put your fist thru a wall, take your time, excellent video man,you got a subscribe.

Great tips guys. I can totally see do-it-yourselfer not seating TCC properly. Definitely saved someone from a headache and costly mistake.

Great video ! No unecessary BS . Just the facts and great video shots of what needs to be seen .

You're the Man! 👏 i'm building up the courage to change my torque converter but was unsure of how to refill transmission and torque converter so when i first start it my transmission doesn't eat itself, i thought i would need one of those power flush machines garages use but now i know filling torque converter before installing will keep things running smoothly.

I dont remember who, but someone taught me, best to put tc in vertically with trans standing up. And spin it 3-4 times by hands til all seat stages are verified. And seat trans surface, before ever trying to bolt tc to plate. Made my install so much easier. And felt right.

Great info almost messed up mine due to the same error first time for me. There was a gap with the bellhousing and I had. A lot of pressure thought I'd screwed the pump but I got by. Wish I watched this video first.

Good call on engine mounts. Doing the torque converter on my 09 jk and checked the mounts as soon as it was mentioned, they ain’t surviving this job and I have so many wobble factors to eliminate I don’t need that one. Thank you sir

One of the best. Thanks - aiming to do a N46 TC change so mighty to know this cheers

This was a very educational video. You did a great job brother. Be proud of yourself and thank you for helping a lot of people who would messed up their transmissions. I salute you guys great content.🫡🎯💯🔥

Great video. Had a decently tricky time finding a trustworthy pro mentioning additional parts that deserve attention while one is in there. Finally relieved my mind that I'm not missing anything dire.

My trans on my 04 ford ec went out, and thinking of doing this for the first time. Thanks for the lessons

Usually I'm a VAG Group enthusiast, but now I have a friend with a E60 BMW who wants to change his torque converter and he wants me to help him. I found you videos the most helpful regarding this subject. Thaks.

Awesome illustration, good luck and stay blessed .

A very good video! This young man explained it well! Thanks!

Good presentation and great advice. Thank you!

Thank you for preventing damage to my transmission

Clear overview, well presented Thanks

Just put a straight edge across the front and measure the gap before you remove and after you place. For my truck the TC was super heavy and it was really tight and hard to tell it was in but an easy solution was to measure the gap also knew it wasn't good when I couldn't rotate the flex plate.

thank you very much. i just learnt that i might have damaged my transmission system while fitting the engine back. was very useful will re do it all over again and check for damage.thanks once again.

Great tips especially on torque converter and replacing transmission and motor mounts. Thanks for the video.

Awesome very well explained.I appreciate deep your advice BIG TANKS

Thank you sir! Concise and to the point, excellent job!😎

wow im glad i watched this video before replacing my transmission on my 330i !

Excellent tutorial... thank you so much.

Excellent video! I would love to see the parts next time while you talk about them “engine mounts, starter etc”

Great video. Thanks for making it. Definitely saved me some trouble.

A good one man, I changed my transmission and I was not advised to change the engine mount, my car vibration violatly, thenx for the video

Great video.... Thanks for the information. Ps. Really well produced. So many of these videos are filmed as "point of view" perspective. That is really annoying. You did a great job!

Brilliant and very informative video

Great tip. Thanks for sharing! ✌️👍💥🔥👏🏼

Keep up the good work.

Thanks for sharing brother and sister.👌 Cheers, Nico.

Good info!!! I know because I have unfortunately made these mistakes before and paid the price.

Great stuff! Currently working on an automatic transmission on a 1998 Honda Prelude.. not many videos online for that kind of car.. specially automatic transmissions…

This is such Great Knowledge. I’m currently getting my Transmission Replace for a used Transmission with 47k miles by a Mechanic for $3000. Watching this video will give me an insight on how it’s supposed to get Done and Hopefully EveryThing Goes Well !

Great Help. God Bless You always Please Continue

I did this the first time I installed the transmission for my Camaro and managed to crank my freshly rebuilt engine and broke the bell housing and the rotor on the pump. Was a very expensive mistake but a learning experience.

awsome piece of Info!!here s my subscription!!

Thanks man, much appreciated. 😃

Good job thank you for that great explanation

Hey Buddy great video and very well explained. Im a mechanic but i dont work normally on trans. This information is extremely helpful as im starting trans replacements next month

Very helpful vid. Thanks!

Very helpful i actually did the same today

Great video and information!!

I learned this the hard way. Tried to bolt to the motor on my 330xi. Cracked the pump. Lucky for me, the neighbor had a 325xi next door for parts with the same transmission next door. So I just swamped in that pump.

Thanks a lot friend very well explained 🎉🎉

Thank you my brother this week im going to replace transmission on my 2004 jaguar

This video came out just in time, all your vids have been great help but I just got my transmission to replace on my E46 325ci

Nice video. I have done this stuff once, with BMW and GM case and yes, it felt bit tricky for the first time. I wish I would have had this kinda guide to watch at that point. :)

Hey man are you able to upload a video going over how to repair broken shadow line exterior trim?

Thanks for that info bro

For the torque converter, how much torque pressure do you need to use for the bolts?

That was a great video I always thought that it only had to a-line twice so good to know! I have a 1981 DT 466 International and it is an 5 speed automatic transmission does it also have to a-line 3 times or is there a different procedure for a highway truck?

Hey your videos are awesome, ive was able to do the fluid change on a Land rover! Now Im wondering if the torque converter is damaged, do you have any videos on that?

Great video bro, thank you

Do you any DIY for E46 headlights and the wiring?

Could you make two chalk marks on housing and converter before removing to help align easily?

Thanks great video. When you say fill the torque converter. About how much do you mean. If the tc was standing upright do you mean half way up. Thanks

Great video. Thanks.

I always mark my notches all the way to the edges before installing. Works every time very easy to slide in.

Excellent clear and well explained !! Can I really pull trans out of my 2005 expedition 5.4 engine. I’ve pulled manual out of my 92 ranger but never a big automatic. I’ll try to find one of your removal vids. Thank you young man.❤

Since you brought up the part that you should add fluid into the torque converter before installing it onto the transmission, what if you are using the same torque converter that came out of the same transmission after doing a new torque converter seal but the torque converter doesn't have any fluid coming out when you turn it upside down and you installed back the torque converter without adding fluid into it? Wouldn't the torque converter just fill itself up when you add fluid into the transmission?

One of the great videos again ))👍

Very educational indeed. I need your help please ? Can I seek your advice on my KIA Cerato 2011 transmission failure and now need to overhaul gearbox with master repair kit

Thinking of doing my tranny myself never knew about the channel key for the torque converter if I do ill be sure to check this thank you for sharing 💯

I have a Allison 2000.the the valve body needs replacing and tips on that

Greetings from Costa Rica, I have a 2001 E46 with a ZF transmission, Steptronic, the issue is that the manual speeds do work, but in Automatic or Sport it does not change from first to second gear

Great little video to educate those who are not aware of the torque convertor seating .... A quick tip is when you remove a torque convertor look and mark your notch points on the pump ( transmission front ) with a paper whiteout marker . It holds up well and don't easily disappear like a marker on rust . Doing so you have a reference point for a quick and easy install .... Again , nice video ....👍👍

question the lock on the flywheel is for timing purpose only right...if it wasnt put on at the right place for the timing lock does it matter ..

Thanks mate!

Great video. My mazda neutralises when going to 3rd gear and i have to put it in low gear(L) to keep driving. I just feel the transmission isnt installed properly

Is there a way to get this lined up after you already have the torque convertor on the shaft? EI: turning the driveshaft, engine crankshaft?

Awesome video

How do you secure a Infiniti G35 coupe automatic transmission to a low profile transmission jack? I could really use the help!

I rebuilt my 4r75e tranny in my f150 all while taking my time with details and made sure sometimes getting details from multiple sources & buying superior grade parts. I basically spent $1500 with new planetary, direct drum, reverse drum, and sonnax kit. Few other purchases too. While I was a stickler for a month in evenings doing rebuild I got excited & didn't pay attention nearly with torque converter & after 2 days it started pouring fluids. Anyway I have removed tranny and don't see any damage besides my seal popped out on front so now putting it back in now so please wish my luck on it cause I need it.

Do you have to put back the axle shaft that is connected from transfer case to the rear axle if its a 4×4 after replacing the torque converter. The dowel were still intact on the engine body when the transmission was put back in place but the dust is making the issue. Does this rotate the crankshaft to tighten up the flywheel to torque converter of transmission? Am I correct...

I just did this. I reinstalled it correctly. Hopefully nothing broke. Putting it I'm with engine now. Never started the car yet.

Hey how do you push that rod all the way in the transmission before inserting the torque converter

Really useful video 😉

I'm only 42 seconds into this video and I think I already know what he's about to speak about. I was maybe 15yrs old or younger when my brother taught me so much about mechanics and he hardly ever spoke, I just paid close attention to everything he did without bein all up in his way cause I knew I was going to have to do everything he was doing some day, hands-on is how I learned everything about how to fix and keep vehicles running..I remember it like it was days ago. When installing a torque converter, at least 3 clicks depending on the years and types of the vehicle's to make sure it's all the way inside the trans pump, never install a torque converter dry without adding fluid cause it helps to prime the pump. The vehicle will not move without adding fluid to the torque converter..It's like any kind of a pump, they don't work without being primed. Plus I always changed the front pump bushing and both front and rear seals cause the bushings acts as a rod bearing in engine's. It keeps the wobble and wear of the seal by closing a tiny gap between the converter and pump. I'm pretty sure I always changed the rear bushing and seal cause the transmissions out of the vehicle's and it's easier to do with em out plus the transmission will last longer than if people just swap out transmissions and leave it at that..Shouldn't be any wobble at all when the torque converter is all the way inside the pump, plus you should never have enough space between the torque converter and bell-housing to put your fingers behind the torque converter..I watched soooo many people do it wrong and they ended up messing up the front pump by not listening to anything I'd try to tell em..I'm not perfect and I've made many mistakes when I's younger but as I got older, anything I did to people's vehicle's they never came back with the same problem. I also went to school for 2yrs in 84 and 85 cause things were starting to become complicated when automobile industry's started coming out with electronics and computers which always got under my skin until I had all that happy stuff figured out. I had to go back to school in 2002 to learn about the newer computerized vehicles. I think I made it not even a couple weeks and I got a job at a speed shop and body shop combined cause hands on is the only way I'd ever learnt anything cause everyone has their own ways of doing things and I don't understand a bunch of gabn. I usually just scope everything out and tare into it and fix everything that way..I've almost made a few mistakes but I always knew who to go to so I didn't mess up a vehicle that wasn't mine and couldn't afford to come outa pocket to correct any mistakes..Now we have Google and it comes in handy unless it's some jackleg that has no ideas whatsoever of what they're doing..I don't understand why KZfaq and Google let's people that have no idea about mechanics make it past both by getting everything they've done posted anyway..A good example is a young guy decided he was going to fly by the seat of his pants and do mechanics for the world of webbernet so they know how to do simple things like brakes and whatnot. Dude removed the spindle and all just to change front brake pads. He unbolted both upper and lower ball joints, or struts, and the tie-rod ends on a front wheel drive vehicle, axle and all just to change front brake pads on a vehicle. 2 bolts and a bleeder valve, that job should've been done in 15 or 20 minutes at the most. It sometimes takes longer to remove the tire and wheel than it does to change brake pads and shoes on most American made vehicles..😂

lovely stuff... keep it up bro...

thank you

I just installed my new motor in my car . I attached the torque converter already to the flywheel. I turned the key to the same position on both converter and transmission so when I slide it together it should be close to slip on. Am I supposed to do it opposite ? Will my way work ? I have a zf6hp26 transmission going into a Jaguar s type R

Good Advice.

Great video sir. I'm hoping you can help me out...would you happen to know how much torque converter fluid I need for my 2006 Mitsubishi Galant 2.4l Automatic? I drained the transmission and when I removed it I believe the torque converter fluid drained out. Do I prefilled my converter with just 1 quart? Thanks sir

Thank you very much

This is awesome information. I got a 2015 Chrysler Town and Country which has an hydro locked engine. In my case my problem is I cant separate the transmission from engine from underneath the van because I cant spin the crankshaft; there is only a small window where by spinning the crankshaft it rotates the torque converter and all 4 bolts can be unbolted from there but since mine cant spin how do i take it apart without destroying anything? A mechanic said to pull out the engine and transmission all at once from the bay but then the issue remains right? now another mechanic suggested to open the engine from underneath to get to the connecting rods cams and unbolt all 6 cylinder connecting rods, this way may free the damage or damaged ones and be able to spin the crankshaft and hence unbolt the transmission; this while the engine still in the van. It is easier to leave the transmission in place for me; I am not a mechanic and my shop is limited to a half lift and lot of lacking knowledge how to do this; got the Haynes manual, you tube, mechanics who are willing to share their knowledge and a severe case of empty wallet which is why I have to do this myself as can not afford it to a pro. I dont know if this is the right solution, another mechanic said "dont waste your time" but when it comes to fixing this engine "time" is something I will definitely throw at it as I want to do it right. Not my first rodeo, already brought a car from the scrap yard to fully functional and have another one to repair as well also full engine work so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi, could you tell me what could wrong if you put to much transmissionfluid into the transmission. Would it damage anything? p.s great video

You know you sht! that's a great tip, Should be a dimension somewhere so you could measure the depth from the face of the bell housing to a part on the converter to be sure its all the way in. Thanks another Great video.

Hi bro I like your videos. They are informative. I have question. I change oil on my cars. But recently I have bad experiences. I changed oil on Hyundai sonata and I put right oil type with different brand. It kept seeping. But there was no obvious leak. It has caused little problem in performance.. Can you make a comprehensive oil change video?

I have a diagnosis question. I went to a transmission shop to do a fluid change and they did a transmission flush with an ATF not recommended by the owner's manual, a 2011 Subaru Tribeca, 100k miles. Now I feel a shudder during the lock-up, after the 5th gear. The shop claim the ATF is compatible with my car, but clearly is not. Does this shudder will go away anytime soon or is it better to replace the ATF with the recommended one? Thanks.

good job

Hello, I have a BMW 2005 645 ci, it’s has a leak in the transmission seals I think, could you please explain how to change seals

Hi, I replaced the transmission on a 2009 bmw 335i, and the paddle shifters don't work. They used to work with the original transmission. Any idea why they won't work with the replacement of the transmission?

Hello! I have oil leaking from the front seal (where is the oil pump, we changed the oil seal but still leaking. Could you tell me if maybe I have to change the bearings behind? Can I change it from the outside, with some special tools?

I got a750f transmission rebuild but when I installed it the vehicle selecting button moving when I accelerate plus selecting in D having heavy back lash

I have a 2002 my front seal leak ing Do I have to pull the transmission out

How have things been since you opened the new shop?

Hey on my bmw 335i 2008 car turns off wend putting it in drive after a transmission rebuilt Do you know the cost of that?

Do you have any video how to R&R auto trans on scion xa 2006 👌🙏 thank you for your response
