1991 Firebird 700R4 Tailshaft Bushing and Seal Replacement (Ep.3)
Vložit
- čas přidán 8. 02. 2019
- The transmission had been leaving little puddles beneath the car, so we decided to set it up on jackstands and take a look at the issue. In this episode we will remove the transmission tailshaft and replace the driveshaft bushing and seal to keep the transmission fluid where it is supposed to be. We also replace the transmission mount and work on an exhaust hanger. Exciting! But, not everything is fun and games in transmission land!
Date of filming: July 24th, 2018

Tried to get this video published on Friday but didn't quite make it. Have had a cold all week and couldn't record voiceover until Thursday, so it was a dash to get this edited and uploaded in time for the weekend. Some ups and downs in this video, but at least we are starting to dig into the car! P.S.: Any errors and/or bad jokes I blame on the fever.
I enjoyed the jokes, I thought they were very humorous!
Fuzzy Dice Projects The jokes were *Fire*... I’m sorry...
could a long bolt without threads and a nut on the other end of the t-case help relieve the spreading force that torqued bolt will give to the cracked area?
I mentioned that idea very briefly, and since I had to think about it a lot when editing this video I think I will end up doing that. Then at least it's not trying to spread out, and I can use a lock nut and a little less torque to further reduce the forces on that area.
Hope you are feeling better, great video and you can wear sandals if it makes you comfortable.
"...and with a little bit of soapy water."

Apply some threadlocker
Out with the old, and in with the new
i wish he wouldve used soapy wooder on the muffler to see if it leaks, but he just said weld if for kicks, but i guess its his thing
chris needs to upload
I literally know nothing about cars 😂 and all the words your using make zero sense to me. But I find this so fascinating! Great editing, hard work, and 10/10 jokes
Was going to leave this exact comment; not a car guy at all but it's fun to see it all
I'm kindof a car guy, but I'm german, so I do see what he does but dont get every partname, and I get 95% of used normal english words, but the video is great, 10/10 jokes
SAME
Same xD

“I’m gonna put a new muffler on my car”... and that is how you disassemble a transmission
holy shit we have the same profile pic

Two thumbs up for the funny jokes and great editing.

laughed my ass off when he was sweeping those notes under the rug
Sweeping it under the rug was quite amusing if I say so myself haha. I’ve done that multiple times with my transmission. I’m not sure of the official names of the parts since it has a torque tube on the driveshaft since 1949, but the rear seal is leaking between the transmission and the torque tube. So is the main seal between the engine and the transmission... and the differential... pretty much everything important is leaking except the brakes haha. Good video
ya
This is the finer point of old pontiacs and why they live forever, the fluids leaking is a metered self undercoat and chassis lubrication. Also forces the owner to renew the fluids often, keeping the car on the road for thousands of smiles more.
Brandon D exactly, that’s why they had to close down the division. They were so reliable for those that bought them they would keep them for life, slowing down production to a point where everyone that needed/wanted a Pontiac had one ;)
Loved the rug jokes.
A lot of people would just make a single Timelapse video but doing a series where you go in depth on everything you do is dope as hell
Even after 30 years turning wrenches I must say these videos are awesome and helpful.
This is the reality of working on older cars. I just got a 98 Expedition and started the "discovery" process. Take one thing out, find two more behind it. It is just the way it goes. But is like with rust, you keep digging until you find good metal and then start building it out. At some point (you might have, but I didn't check) it would be cool to see your list of "can't do without" tools, thread-lock seems to be one of them. :-) Due to a recent move I had to get rid of all my tools so starting from scratch. On this Expy just realized I need a lot of Torx (screwdriver/sockets) to survive.. :-) Keep up the good work and go light on that blue stuff. :-)
Thanks for the suggestion! I have thought about doing a "most used" tools video and might well make one somewhere down the line. Part of the reason I haven't made one yet is I keep discovering more tools and changing what I am using!
I had a 2000 and I loved that thing. I drove it over 350k km in 10 years. It was hit by a school bus and just took it like a champ. I could get all my foster kids in there with no issue. It may not have been anything impressive or ‘special’, but it served me well! I hope the project is going well for you!

Sometimes you have to break two things to fix one. 😂
da teatorjr well said
Killing 1 bird with 2 stones lol
Fuck, ain't that the truth. Such is the way of the wrench.
Me: watches these videos of cars
Google: hey you want some car ads
No its more like you watching 100$ car renovations that keep cars under 2k? Obviously your ready to buy a 70k top of the line truck!
julianvro cant relate gotta get that youtube premium my guy
Tae-007 yt premium is probably the worst purchase you can make on the internet
Brandongamer thats a bold statement considering you can buy cans of oxygen online
@@tae-007 worst useful thing?
That transmission crack, talk about losing the war to win the battle
“OSHA approved footwear” 😂
If you were to replace the transmission down the line, might as well source a manual one along with the necessary pedals, manual swaps usually gets viewers.
I agree
I wanted to install a 6 speed tremec on my 83 trans am, but it was 3500.00 with all the necessary hardware, the rebuild 700 r 4 with converter was 1200.00 from monster transmissions a few years back.
@@BLANK-INC you are WRONG
Automatics are faster
@@deiontimmes5256 Manuals are fun.
Watching these videos makes me want to clean out my garage, get to all the hidden tools, and find a project car to work on again. As crazy as it sounds I miss frustration and fun that comes with working on a project car. Love the videos.
I lost count at how many times you said, "I'm sure it'll probably be OK."
Moto Brute 😂
when you're working on a project car... that phrase is the only thing keeping you going
just found these videos this morning and i must say your an intelligent man. Keep the good work up buddy!
Great video. The entire time i was watching it I was thinking, thank goodness I live below the rust belt.
Lived in North East Ohio my whole life. You wouldn't believe the rust on vehicles here. Not even 6 years old and a car will have rust under it. It's crazy, my 1997 Explorer is all rust underneath lol.
@@Fransais Indiana sucks ass when it comes to cars and rust.
This is definitely making me want to buy my own project now! I wanted to binge watch all episodes as this series is very interesting! You've got me now patiently waiting to see what else you've got :)
ive got two of these cars myself,a perfect blend of reasonable price and potential pro touring car
See I'm not a big car guy but I learned so much off of this little series.
Thank you for getting me through the last hour of a 12hr shift due to snow! Like always I enjoy your videos keep up the good work.
My 89 Firebird Formula 350 was an Atlanta car so it was in perfect condition when I bought it in 2008, every time I took something off, I completely restored it including paint and clear coat (spray can) on the parts I removed! Quit trying to fix that exhaust, slap some Hooker shorty headers on it and a true dual exhaust 2.5” with a crossover and remove the converter slap on a couple series 50 mufflers and it’ll sound awesome!
Love this series so far, my absolute favorite pastime is working on my cars. From Part 1 to here, my satisfaction rate is very high. The car has come so far with such small replacements and cleaning.
10/10
I'm from Australia and I used to work on old Japanese cars. No matter how many American car videos I watch, I'll never cease to be amazed that you can just go down to the auto store and buy SO MANY replacement parts for a 30 year-old car. You're so lucky. Also this was hilarious, love your channel. Keep sweeping under that rug!
This series gives me confidence I can continue the rebuild on my 1984 Trans Am Recaro. Thanks for the great vids!
I love the progress videos. I gotta dig thu my old pics. My first car was a 91 firebird automatic. It was originally olive green. When i bouth it it was a lighter shade of green but i painted it midnight blue. It was beautiful.
Awesome! I have a 1990 so watching this series is super informative
This is the best instructional format on youtube. Soothing too. Thank you for taking the time to make these.
As always, well done in both editing and audio. I've just about finished my 4th generation Firebird and have been through all of what you are about to do on this beautiful 3rd generation. Excellent choice for a project and video series. Looking forward to further episodes in the near future. Again, thanks for sharing.
I found your videos a year after you posted them but, i finally convinced my sister to sell me her Pontiac firebird and it's going to need a lot of work. I searched for "how to" videos and i found this series. I have a sentimental attachment to the firebird im getting from my sister. My mother saved it from the crusher and i fell in love with it since i first saw it when i was 9. I'm 31 now and waiting ~ 20 years, I'm ok with the wait. I'll probably reference these videos in my rebuild.
I recently picked up an 88 Formula 350 and are anxiously awaiting each video! Keep up the great work!
I'm especially loving this particular series. My father still has his (original owner) '85 yellow trans am with 29,xxx original miles. It's the fuel injected 4AT model. Total garage queen, never gets driven. I hope to one day inherit the car and "bring it back to life" with some performance upgrades and TLC...even though its been garaged all its life, it needs some love.
i love this restoration i have been watching for almost an hour now.
I love the narrative and the humor. I also like the attitude of realism about fixing vs. not fixing things. Too often people criticize because it's not perfect, but to shoot for perfection on this type of car isn't practical or a good financial idea.
That sweeping under the rug earned you a sub, I love the humor you put into your educational videos. I'm a mechanic with almost 4 years of experience but i still enjoy watching videos like this.
Delightful commentary and very good tips. Thank you.
Nice video! I'm the proud owner of a 3.1L '92 Firebird, and I love watching people work on them. I may have to do something about my transmission soon, it's developed a leak recently. My t-tops are still watertight though!
I wish there are more videos like this everywhere it’s really satisfying to watch
Finally a new video
This has quickly become one of my favourite channels and I love the content and the presentation. Really enjoying watching this series. Keep up the good work.
Man, I love this series so far!
FINALLY, a new episode!
I know nothing about cars and have no idea what you're talking about but these videos are AMAZING!!!
I was recommend this channel about a month ago.... after binge watching every single episode, I subbed. : )
this is the legit backyard mechanic stuff i come to youtube for. i can literally hear myself saying the same stuff when working on my own truck 'eh...itll probably be alright...'
I had a 1987 Firebird in high school my dad sold it behind my back for $500 dollars, it looked the same as this car and color, can't wait for the finish keep it up.
I don't have one of these cars, nor do I plan on getting one but I love watching your videos, glad I found t his firebird build.
Started watching today, I’m never leaving.
More kickass car videos please. Love seeing people working on their cars.
Lots of rebuild channels these days but Fuzzy engineering skills are so so good t this channel is my new favourite !!If the point is to learn ? This is your man !! Love it
Love the firebird update! Pls keep it
Dude your sense of humor, and the detail in your videos is awesome. Keep up the good work!
Seriously loving this channel
Loved the sweeping the "issues" under thw rug part. Classic

Nice Ephesians "The Full Armor of God" joke.

You do a great job with your videos.i especially like the Ephesians reference and sweeping problems under the rug.please keep up the great work.
Great content! Loved your sense of humour.
I can’t wait to see the final results. It’s gonna be an awesome change.
The drive shaft coming out was just, I mean, the most satisfying noise
3rd part of the series and the 3rd video I've watched from this channel, you've got my subscription!
Loving this series ! thank you !
Great commentary I really enjoyed the video thanks.
literally just found you and I am mad because of it. You are amazing by collectively adding a special comedy with mechanics and i love it. Keep up the great work. All da way from Aussie
Just found your channel, enjoying this project and your narration!
I always look forward to watching your videos
You uploaded this video at the right time when I have nothing to do.
I love you videos! You make the most mundane task interesting! Keep up the good work!
Firebirds always been my favorite car. Had a 81 for my first car. Only wish I would of kept it. Had a 91 later in life and would have to say 91 is still my favorite year.
5:13 "I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being", very nice.
I don't even have a firebird but this content is appealing and entertaining. Solid work my friend.
Keep it up man found the channel been lovin it since
I’ve waited so long for this.
LOL...I LOVED that 'brushing under the rug' thingy. Visually original and funny
Que bien que esta quedando esa maquina espero con ganas los proximos videos saludos desde Rosario Santa Fe Argentina

Really enjoying this project, great video!
Can’t wait for the next episode! Subscribed!!👍
The flex in the frame when you let that Jack down at 0:58 in the video was crazy
Keep it up I own 4 Camaros 85,86, 2 87’s trying to build 2 nice ones keep it up always wanted to learn new things
I love your humor - Hiding them under the carpet 🤣 Cant wait for the next episode :D I love this project

Love this series bro, good job!
I like the way you do these repairs, Good Up!!!
Great to watch, superb.
Just started watching and i enjoy your humour
Nooooooooo! A cliff hanger episode!!! Bring on the exhaust and sway bar end links!!! Well done.
Really appreciate the reference to Ephesians 6:13 and its full meaning. Blessings to you and yours!
Good work on the safety
These videos are my bedtime stories. Ima be sad when this car is done.
I've been waiting for this.
Good work man love what you are doing. Keep up the great work
