    When you say you build Rat Rods, it’s a whole complete class of building. You’ve touched every nut, bolt, and piece on that Rat Rod not to mention as built engineering and building the front suspension,rear suspension, steering,drive train, radiator and numerous other things that I forgot. Good job, Bob. Guess that’s why you are the Dean of Ratrodology. Thanks for the complimentary class😮

    Even as someone who has built a few transmissions it's still enjoyable watching you do it Bawb. Nice work. Car is about ready to roll down the road soon!

    Another excellent tutorial from the Professor. Even though this is an older trans, the engineering of it still amazes me.

    This is the best automatic transmission video I've ever watched. I appreciate you showing the hard parts but I especially like that you show us how each part works. Also, thanks for the tip on Assembly Goo. Cheers!

    You are an amazing mechanic Bawb. I really enjoyed this video and think I could almost rebuild a C4 now, sadly, I am a stick shift guy. Glad I didn't miss it.

  • @ShadeTreeJay
    @ShadeTreeJay Před 6 měsíci +8

    Impressive Bob!
    Apparently you were a transmission mechanic before you started building RatRods!! Would love for you to do a video on rebuilding a Powerglide!
    Great Video as usual!!👍👍

    Do not be offended. I fell asleep on this video. Good news is I stayed to the end, liked it👍, and I’m commenting so you get paid. You tube is like the Army. You sign up and you make a commitment. You can’t quit just because a transmission video is way far out of your league. Love you RRB and love your work. Wish I was closer so I could sweep your shop. Stay warm. 🤠

  • @michaelking3542
    @michaelking3542 Před 6 měsíci

    Bob, that's a pretty good job done there and should last a good long while.....just one thing on the valve body with that mod. You need to remove that rubber disc from the valve body. Even if you don't modify the valve body remove it. It will get you going with a snappy shift if you do!!!!! And slow shift overlap if you don't!!!!!!!!!.......Nice video ..................

  • @lilmike2710
    @lilmike2710 Před 6 měsíci

    I'm about to dive head first into my 4R70W transmission thats in my mustang. I've never been past the filter or torque converter in a transmission but it's a heck of a lot cheaper than replacing it.
    Long gone are the days of $75 used transmissions at the local bone yard. Even the ones that are around are asking $500-$700. And i sure ain't about to take the chance of getting one and installing it only to learn that it's no good. . Im just gonna yank it out, throw it up on my bench and go for it.
    And im terrified 😏 But i gotta go for it.

    @gregh6794 Před 6 měsíci

    Your valvebody mods are sort of close. You need to understand what you are modifying. Was going ok until you refitted the rubber puck. For any shift improvement. In conjunction with reversing the accumulator valve spring the rubbe4 puck shoul$ be left out to open that circuit up for improvement to 2nd gear apply.
