Thanks for watching.

Try Fatsco, link in the description. Or Charlie Tranny, charlietranny.com/375RHM.htm Possibly these guys also, ttps://www.restorationhydramatics.com

Thx

Man, been a long time since I have seen one of those. Really simple once you know what to do. Thanks for watching.

Yeah, I was surprised. It came from another shop. They claim that it was working fine and that the customer just wanted it resealed. I don't see how that could be. They were afraid of it and convinced the customer to exchange it for a 2004R. That would not have been my choice. If it was up to me I would pick the 700R4. Told them I'm not afraid of it. Still waiting on the parts. They say they are going to get them. We'll see. Been a month now.

@@CurmudgeonTransmission Yes, I am with you on the 700 r4 I never had good luck with the 200 r4 I was wondering if the you still could get the parts. gm sure had a assortment of transmissions in my hay day as a rebuilder. I got out of the business before all of these 8 and 10 speeds came along. In fact it was 2008 when I saw the first 5 speed 5r110 that is when I went to margaritaville lol I sure enjoy watching you. It reminds me so much the way I did things. keep up the great work. 🙂

I found all of the parts and passed the info off to them. Fatsco had them all. Thinking of trying to do the same within the next couple of years. Appreciate you watching them.

Yes it is. You either need a flush machine or change it several times. If you change it regularly just a normal fluid change is sufficient. If you are experiencing problems and you think a fluid change is going to fix it, it probably will not.

.020-.060

Thanks. Fatsco is a good source. One of the down sides of the old stuff, the weight. Thanks for watching them.

Thanks!

Thanks for watching.

There are 3 shims in there. One controls the diff. preload. One for the transfer gear preload. And the last one sets the end play in the transmission. If it has not been rebuilt the problem is going to be a bearing that is coming apart, more than likely, causing too much play.

I like the old stuff. I find it interesting to see some of the technology that we think is new, used way back then but never caught on.

Thanks

Thanks. Not necessarily. No they are not prone to that. I would bet it is a clogged filter. Thanks for watching.

@CurmudgeonTransmission That's what I initially thought, but changed it pulled apart the shift solenoid, and cleaned it. Still does it.

Then it would have to be a bearing in the overdrive section. That will be the only other thing turning in Park and Neutral.

Thanks for watching.

Uhhh that’s what I needed, did you find a source ?

I have, a long time ago. Actually, it was the MPYA, but it is basically the same. Long before I was doing videos.

Bell, tail and output shafts. The rest will be basically the same except for clutch capacities I believe.

Did you check the rubber seals on the pistons? Rubber may be hard. If it is not there. The problem is going to be in the valve body, sticking 1-2 shift valve. Or maybe the governor.

@@CurmudgeonTransmission спасибо, Том! Последую вашему совету, проверю все резиновые уплотнения! Ещё скажите пожалуйста, как правильно отрегулировать сервопривод тормозной ленты? Нужно чтобы барабан вращался свободно или с небольшой нагрузкой? И за что отвечает эта тормозная лента?

Same as the 4L30. Tighten 40 in. lbs. back off 5 turns. I usually end up at 4 & 1/2 turns. Just so I can turn the drum by hand. 1st Gear. On in first and second.

They don't do carry out transmissions, sorry.

@@CurmudgeonTransmission No problem. I had hopes but I'll end up rebuilding it myself with my friends brother. We've never done a BMW but we've done quite a few chevy transmissions. Any advice is welcome. I appreciate you posting these videos. I'll be using them and the OEM service procedures thoroughly.

Bevel washer within the C-D clutch drum (center support) was broken to pieces and the clutches were down to metal, almost wafer thin. What do you think would cause the bevel washer to break? Spirited driving?

Seen the clutches worn down like that before. Never seen the washer broken. Get a Transtec kit with Raybestos clutches. Bushing kit is a must, prefer Durabond. I put the Sonnax zip kit and both Transgo kits in the valve body. Separator plate will most likely get destroyed taking it apart.

If you remove the oil level check plug while filling it should not do that.

There could be several reasons. Line pressure is low. 3-4 accumulator piston wear. Band adjustment off. 3-4 clearance off. Input shaft leaking in the spline area. Check ball sticking in separator plate. AFL Valve worn. Shift solenoids. Probably more I'm not thinking of right now.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Glad it was helpful!

Thanks for watching.

Some of this got lost in translation, I think.

I prefer nylon. Sometimes brass.

I have only had 2 of these transmissions in here. So, I can't speak to all the differences there might be. I can tell you there is an A8LR1 and an A8TR1. There is not a lot of information on these units out there yet.

You will not be able to post anything on here. You will need to go to my Instagram to do that.

No. I don't soak my clutches. Never seen a difference doing it and not. I have done enough of these I can tell when the clearances are correct. If they are off, I will break out the gauge and check them.

I have only had 2 come in. I can tell you that the clutches you are going to get in the kit will probably not come out correctly in your clearances. You will have a hell of a time getting them correct. Most are fairly tight, .010-.030. The valve bodies are also horrible , as is the case with most transmissions now. No kits are available for them yet, you will need to buy a new one.

@CurmudgeonTransmission yeah I'm a tech but I leave the transmissions to ypu guys lol. Just started having issues with mine feels like the converter is partially locked at all times, dosent kill the car when put into gear but loads it up well lol. When put into gear the imput speed goes to zero until I start rolling.....try to bring it up on converter and all it does is struggle.

@@CurmudgeonTransmission I pulled the pan/filter off earlier today to find some pieces....and a lot of glitter.

@@boostedstinger I don't know the availability of hard parts. Neither of mine needed them. Hopefully it will be a bad t/c.

@CurmudgeonTransmission t Right....but with all that metal in the pan and 102,000 miles I'm a tad concerned lol.

Yes.What may be more likely is weak springs or solenoids. Sonnax makes springs for it. www.sonnax.com/parts/2026-1-2-2-3-shift-valve-spring-kit

@@CurmudgeonTransmission I have a jakes performance d1 vb with a transbrake. I should have mentioned that. Do you still suggest the springs? I pulled the pan and found the 1-2 solenoid broken, replaced it and issue still current.

Transbrakes are a whole different deal. We don't deal with them. Just a guess, I would say you have a cross leak somewhere. I would contact the folks at Jakes Performance.

This is used in some Saab's. I will look at my application chart Monday.

It can be either this unit or a TF81SC.

@@CurmudgeonTransmission Thank you! Mine must be the AW55 because I only have 5 gears and reverse.

Thanks

Glad I could help

Not on here. I do on Patreon.

​​@@CurmudgeonTransmission Can you tell me of your video name about zip kit 6r140 or can you send the link? I can't find on your patreon video with same name!?

It is at the beginning ofthe 6R140 rebuild video.

Thanks for watching.

If you are talking about the center case bearings, I don't have that. They have to be machined to accept them. We buy them already done. If you are talking about something else, give me the time stamp and I will figure it out.

First thing I would check would be the tubes in the bottom pan for cracks. If they are not cracked, you will have either an EPC solenoid problem or a problem with one of the clutches or bands.

Update: never mind I finally got it. What helped me was putting it in the curved cradle between the thumb and forefinger that way it has a consistent tightness all the way around and it clicked on. They don't play around with the tightness on these LOL

No they don't, they can be a pain. Thanks for watching.

Not uncommon on Honda's. The Transtec kits are much better in my opinion. Thanks for watching.

No. we don't sell parts. WIT or Transtar. Links are in the description.

Yes

Agree

Welcome

2013 is the first year it can be a gen 3. Is it a Gen 2 or 3? Go to my Instagram and I can send youa picture there.

@@CurmudgeonTransmission got it whats your instagram?

@@CurmudgeonTransmission And how do I identify what generation I have?

Most of them I have done multiple times. Some I have done so many of that I might could do them in my sleep, lol. It's just the way my brain works, I guess.
