Imagine if they still taught shop classes , this channel is my new Bob Ross.

I've been working on everything from small engines to heavy equipment and street cars for forty years and I still learn something new every day. Thanks for taking the time to film this.

This guy built my M22 drag special and it’s sitting behind a 496 big block with 800 hp now for about 3 years . Never had an issue still running strong shifting like new.

You should comment on the videos that you like or that are helpful. The reason people upload videos is to help others. So you should show them that you appreciate their effort. Leave even a small comment. It's like a smile, it brightens up someone's day. Thanks.😊👍

the fact that you do the extra work on the gears is a sure sign of a professional. I build mopar motors and automatic transmissions and it's the little things that separate the pros from the amateurs.

Built my T5 using your book and guidance, best trans I have owned, still running strong at Mosport

So hard to find a good transmission guy. I'm impressed!!

I am totally impressed with your knowledge, expertise, and your video presentations. It cannot be overstated how much help you provide to your viewers. Thank you.

Excellent video. I appreciate you sharing your obvious years of experience. A good transmission man is hard to come by especially nowadays.

I really love the attention to detail. Excellent craftsmanship and execution, as well as intelligent thoughtful explanation through the assembly. It's refreshing to see someone that's passionate about their work and committed to true quality. Thank you Paul!

Thanks for the Education..... Most Hot Rodders don't get the fact, without the right Gear Ratio, all the Engine in the World won't steel the show!

it is great to watch a man that really knows what he is doing...

I worked for GM dealers 1970 -80 and did more Muncie and Warner 4 speeds then I can count . Thought I knew a lot about them but you gust showed me some things I didn't know . Nice job , thanks . Don

I always learn new things from your vids. You're a real teacher as well as a master at what you do in the shop. Thanks for posting.

When I was a machine tool operator at a B&S back in 70's I had the opportunity to work in the machine tool division gear section. I remember we used a machine that would shave the gear and then after heat treating I would hone the gears. Check them for run-out and all that then and not least I would match any two gears that would be mated by the amount of decibels they recorded in a sound proof booth. There was a lot more to than what I am mentioning here. Your video brought back memories. Thanks

You are correct, that is how it was done in the old days. They hobbed, heat treated, and shaved, correcting for distortion. Now most gears are ground after heat treat and with CNC type machining, better alloys, and better control of heat treat, some steps are eliminated and quality and profile accuracy are greatly improved.

Nice to see the improvements you do. Liked the comment about seeing a NASCAR box and knowing it would 'cross over' Thanks for sharing

Holy crow. This is the first of your episodes I have watched. Clearly got some backlog to go through. Wish I had access to this level of information back in the late 80s. Would have made things a lot simpler. Oh well. Cheers.

I learned a lot from your videos. Thank you for sharing your wisdom in gearboxes.

Not sure if you have an apprentice that you mentor, but man the plethora of knowledge you have of this trade is amazing. What a treat to watch someone in their element.

I had a mentor growing up. I'm going to discuss this in an upcoming video.

And thanks for the link on your books too. Just ordered one of those, looking forward to going thru it page by page.

great video love the time and patients you put into the parts you make .. and yep every little detail counts

Learned a lot just watching your videos. If I ever need a 4 speed box I know who to go to. Your video presentations are excellent.

Great video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. We are Road racing a Lexus sc300 with w58 . I've always focused on the engine and diff, assuming that the 5 speed was what it was. After watching this video I will look into aftermarket parts for the w58 to hopefully make it smoother and more reliable. Thanks

WOW what a work of mechanical art and artistry! Amazing...

YOU HAVE SOME THE VERY BEST TEACHING TECHNIQUES!

Beautiful piece of hardware. Love the idea of roller supported gears for the ultimate in low friction considering how fast some of them turn on the mainshaft just along for the ride.

That's simply a beautiful transmission. The details and mechanics of the gears and case is stunning.👍👍👏👏💖💖

Just received the first book from Amazon today. Been reading it most of the day. Great photos and explanations. I have a Tremec 176 and Dana 300 for a Jeep CJ8 and a Tremec 177 or 178 for a full size jeep so that is why I am interested in learning more about them. So far I have enjoyed all of the videos and some of the information is actually sinking in so there is hope.

This was really informative and I'll do my best to apply these lessons as much as I can.

Thanks for the lunch-time tutorial, Paul. I love how you share your knowledge.

Great video. I love your prep work.

Thank you great tutorial perfect explained Gearbox built.

I really enjoy your videos and have allready learned a lot from you. I appreciate what you have done only wish I had found it sooner. I will be purchasing your books soon.

Great books, so much info and accurate photos, the best way to keep our gear boxes shifting and shifting better. "SHIFT FAST!" Thank You Paul

I already did a T5 road race build.. please look at other videos on my channel.

I really want to go through the gears on that box to see how its feels and how slick it goes into gear. Love your videos.

Great tips and tricks! Thank you for sharing!

Great vid and camera work, as usual. I watched the vid to see how the same techniques apply across the different gear boxes. THX!

Great video. Thanks for sharing your tips and tricks.

good to see you taking the time to go into depth!!

Pretty cool! Thanks for sharing/showing!

Paul, you have an eye for editing. Love your videos, and my T5 (with your 5th speed Sebring gear) is running great now. I wish I didn't have to pull the transmission back out after my speedo drive gear got unclipped, but your video and book helped me through that. Big thanks.

Nice to see you again Paul, great workmanship as usual.

Thanks Paul. That was really interesting

I like your videos! They bring me back in my motorsport time! Thank you!

Nice, I haven't messed with a lot of car transmissions (although I had a super T-10 I bought for a 73 Corvette I had) but I set up a lot of Harley transmissions and for the last 11 years I've been getting into setting them up around road racing standards, I've been using an electrical insulation paint to coat the insides of the cases to keep the lube from wanting to cling to the inside of the casing, I'm gonna check into the Teflon coating trick, where do you send yours to for coating?

Excellent Paul!!!

Just found this channel i like and im subscribed, thanks for info and great video

One competitor, some years ago, in a Ford Sierra which came with a four speed 'box only in the BTCC ( British Touring Car Championship) ran a five speed 'box all season. He got away with it 'cos he’d got a four speed gear knob on.

Paul you are a master. Huge respect for you sir if you recommend it i am certain it is very good. Once again top notch content.

Great video.You know those transmission backward and forwards!! Thanks.............Cheers, Jim

Thanks learned a bunch from this video keep up the great work!!!

Great work,,thanks 4 the video

Love it. Great video about some interesting 4 speed mods

Wow! I appreciate your talent. Thanks for showing.

As always a great vid Paul.

A.Regular the gears and sliders looked so nice a beautiful build.

este canal es un tesoro. Gracias!!!

Fascinating look at one of the ways 'stock' road racing cars are prepped in subtle but important ways. In addition to the improved cooling, reliability, and shift action, I'll bet this procedure is worth about 3-5 hp when the gearbox internals are really spinning up a storm in there. Thanks, Paul.

Absolutely totally blown away by what you do with 4 speeds.

Very nice and well presented. Thank You

I can tell right away we would be Far better off just having it done by you, sparing ourselves the "experimental process” grief, and upgrades you have conquered ! Thx, this was a very good video , informative for simple DIY yet again, I would just have you do it and so it gets done just Once, & right!!!

Thing of beauty, Paul

How interesting and well produced!

You Sir are a Craftsman - and that was a lovely video! Many Thanks...

You're the beast amazing and clean job😉👌, I try get your books thanks👍

Even though I’ll never do it, it’s nice to see how it’s done!

Thanks for the awesome vids

I have a 6.3 liter 383 cubic inch fully forged stroker motor what type of transmission do you think would work for me

Very impressive! Thanks!

These videos are always a great watch! 😊 And you always learn something new.. I doubt I'd ever see any of the transmissions you work on since I'm in the UK, well, maybe the T5, but even that's rare over here.. If I had the money, I'd send you an LT77 or an R380 gearbox, as I feel it would be entertaining to get your opinion on a British gearbox.. Not sure if you have ever seen a factory gearbox with an oil pump, oil filter and pressure fed hollow mainshaft! 👻 The boxes are very rare though, as the UK doesn't have the same car culture that the US has. Exploded boxes don't get rebuilt often, they get scrapped, and vintage cars like my 74 P6 V8 get more people complaining about the noise and the pollution than the fact it's a neat car.. Keep up the good work! 😊

I started watching these videos looking for general info when I started rebuilding/converting a 6 speed for my Mazda. Even though there’s not much specific stuff that applies to my project I really enjoy the videos. Also, it’s good to note that a lot of what’s incorporated into aftermarket parts of for older trannies is already present in mine!

Beautiful build. Curious how much cooler a unit like this would run compared to stock.

Awesome videos! Be cool to see a TR3650 build with modifications.

Great video! Learned a ton from you. On the box you described with the different main shaft, rollers, etc. what HP/torque would a box like that withstand for some road racing?

500 hp Max. For the 500 to 800 range the Muncie spec 25, which has similar treatment

Awesome channel. Off topic, any Eaton transmission rebuild videos?

man I love your vids

Wow!! Always impressive.

How much HP can a Ford Top Loader or a Super T-10 hold up to if mods are done? Thanks

We've got that same bearing heater at the winery I work at small world lol.

Great video very informative . Congratulation on your two new books ! I have a very rare AMC T-10 that I bought at a wrecking yard . I haven't pulled the side cover for it yet to see the condition of the gears but had a couple of places that do manual trans tell me the trans was built by Borg Warner for AMC at their specs the standard T-10 gears wont work if I can rebuild it and restore how much do you think I can get out of it? Looks to have the original shifter for it also the handle is gone its date coded for 67 and 68 would of came out in the AMX'S what they told me off the tag for it. Keep up the good work !

Holy cow! I’m really impressed with your work! Fantastic video. Gladly sub’s to your channel. Can you please do a Toploader next? Cheers! 👍🏻

Love this channel of yours Paul! Your skills at working on transmissions and your ability to explain things in simple to understand context, is fantastic! I didn't find anything on your channel about NV4500's though. The one in my Dodge Cummins is giving me some issues and I'm planning on rebuilding it. Would you recommend staying with the factory style carbon fibre synchros or switching over to brass? Appreciate it if you can give me any feed back on that! Keep up the awesome work!

Always use the carbon rings since the gear cone angles are designed for them. I would suggest not using the Amsoil but the recommended Synchromesh oil.

@@GearBoxVideo Thanks man, I appreciate your feedback! Any chances of you doing a rebuild vid of one? Possibly with some upgrades?

nice books. I remember seeing some books a long time ago, engine builders or something. These books look familiar. Did you used to do chilton or haynes teardowns? *power secrets...now I know where I seen this. thats awesome My buddy had a v8 vega and I think his dad had some of these books.

You could use the new hollow shaft to constantly provide oil to all the gears or rolling bearing just like you would do on a crank shaft. It would also be interesting to see how well the synchro rings match with the gears. And is the tiny needle bearing sufficient for the lateral forces on shorter gear shaft? Thanks for the very nice video

Actually most automatic transmissions use pressurized feed oil thru hollow shafts. It's all been done before. Problem is you need to run a pump system. These old transmissions don't have any. Most of the newer manual transmissions and some older ones we convert run speed gears on rollers. No issues.

Love love love your videos.

Very interesting. Tx!

In general it's not needed and there isn't much of a gain versus the expense.

Reminds me of my 66 mustang I changed out the t10 for a top loader.
