"With my powers of cheapness" why did I hear that in a 1950s batman narrator voice?? 😂😂
Master of suspense ending at THE anticipated shift.
No joke,just short of the 3rd gear repair! All good or shift fork issue....🤔
@@gregorycross612 Will the cracks come back to haunt us? Tune in and see.

“same bat-channel, same bat-time”...
Wheeeeew..., fer sure showing my age...
Anybody know I am talking about... lol!
It’s a cliffhanger or maybe shifthanger ending!
@@BarryTsGarage Definitely geared towards suspense.
"The Powers of Cheapness" Sounds like the makings of a Mechanic's Captain Planet
Power Probe!
Breaker Bar!
Oxy-Acetylene Torch!
Penetrating Lubricant!
Coffee!
By your powers combined, I am Captain Mechanic!
This comment just made my day!
A "clff hanger" ending just before switching to third gear? Ok, I am curius for part 3.
Every time I watch one of your videos, I’m impressed with your unbelievable range of knowledge. And my appreciation for your professionalism grows when I see the investment you’ve had to make in your tools and specialty tools and the shop itself! And then you throw in the extra hassle and time it takes to video and produce all of this for us Saturday couch sitters. Here’s a Spotted Cow to you and your understanding family!
Wes is a wealth of knowledge!💯✌️
" Powers of Cheapness " , in part it's why you have return customers . Great video .
"By the Powers of Cheapness"... Wes raises a giant breaker bar, as the mighty Pup growls at a fierce mouse in the distance. Then the Hufflepuff Towing Service appears, and things get confusing.
Really liked how you manually went through the transmission and explained how the gears engage on the shaft etc. Very cool.
Wes aint scared
I dig that about him. Dude will fix anything
Hey Wes, just wanted to thank you for explaining why towing in neutral causes transmission damage. I've always been told it, but no one has ever explained it to me. Never seen a demonstration, or why. You explained it simply. Thank you.
indeed I only knew of it been a problem in automatic transmissions.
You can tell Wes grew up on 80's shows with that cliffhanger ending.
Is that an 80s thing?
@@WatchWesWork Always!
@@WatchWesWork Isn't it? That's the first thing I thought of when it happened. I think back then the cliffhangers were glorious! Like Dukes of Hazzard episodes, they had some of the best! I'm sure they still use them now, I'm just older and think about "back then", by default. Carry on.
OMG - Oh by the love of Jesus - a mechanic that actually works on gearboxes and fixes them - it’s like seeing a unicorn or a flying Pegasus horse, I thought it was a mythical thing.
Just sitting down for an ice cold beer after mowing the yard perfect timing to watch this train wreck be unTangled
Wow, early start!
@@WatchWesWork normally yes but with it being this hot outside I'll argue it's never to early 😂
I've got a dodgy heart Wes! I can't take these sharp intakes of breath.
I was counting the gears and then, right when those cracked selector forks went for 3rd gear "the problem child" it was "to be continued"!
I think I can sum up my feelings, and the feelings of those around me, when I say "Aaargh!".
It looked more like a self destructor box just starting to leave this earth, yet apart from the broken teeth it was surprisingly clean and healthy looking. Thank you for the explanation of the constant mesh gearbox, and how you win some and lose some. As usual, you keep it light and humorous, but made it right, I enjoyed the viewing.
I think it's been rebuilt at least once before. Which is insane considering it has only 165,000 miles.
It's 115 degrees (f) here today in Phoenix..(with about 4 more months of the same to go) . I think I'll stay inside and Watch Wes work!
I thought for a minute that I'd clicked into the Precision Transmission channel. Nice job Wes. Lots of grease on this one. You may want to buy some coveralls. I knew a mechanic that stood his up in a corner. Grease kept them stiff as a board. 😂
Morning Wes! Time for a coffee while Wes Works 👍
I like that military truck at the end
If I'm not mistaken I do believe there was an appearance of it in another video that he said ignore that or something along those lines... lol
Now being a veteran myself I know this truck rather well as I drove one back in the 90's and that thing is a Korean/Vietnam era deuce and half named as it is a 2 1/2 ton 6X6 truck used to carry troops and supplies to all over.
This may be one of your most interesting videos yet. It's a pleasure to see good old fashioned mechanical repairs.
"....so the transmission's gotta come out.....no two ways about it....shouldn't be that bad of a job...." Pure Wes!
Your improved pouring skills have not gone unnoticed ;-)
Pretty big target...
@@WatchWesWork Credit where credits due
Oh boy! A cliffhanger! Think my favorite scene is the perfectly balanced trans descending on the Jack. I know. Weird.....
Hey Wes. I just wanted to say thank you. I’ve been home sick with a cold kicking my butt all week. I can’t sit still for a week straight without going crazy and I can’t work into my shop for more than a couple hours before this cold knocks me down. I’ve been binging on your old videos all week and I’m pretty sure you have single handed lay saved my sanity.
Well good luck! Sounds like me. I rarely get sick, but when I do it knocks me out.
Nice work getting the snap ring off without cutting the bearing cage the powers of the cheapness we all find ways around things when it comes to being a mechanic some of us mechanics are smarter then the engineers @Watch Wes Work
I am jealous of the shop press. Good work Wes.
It's a nice one. I have an air pump for it. I need to rig that up.
Dude you amaze me with your knowledge. I need a neighbor like you.
Wes you’re simply a classic brother. Keep sharing your escapades with us. We learn and get some chuckles along the way. And way to end the episode on a cliffhanger……”WHO SHOT JR WES, WHO SHOOTS JR!” I need to know these things! Hahahaha.
Hello~ Nice to meet you 👋 Thanks for sharing👍🥰 Wishing you stay safe & happy. God bless you 🙏🍀🤗🍒🌿
My favorite part is at 30:08 the passenger side wiper. Now that’s a part I can fix. You make all these repairs seem so easy.
Saturday morning pool side with Wes!! Great day! I figured out a perfect way to stay clean working on Eaton Fullers…….. watch Wes do it!!!
OMG Wes - How our MOT Inspection people here in UK would shake their heads and laugh/frown at the state of some of the vehicles you manage to resurrect from the "grave". We have to have all our vehicles inspected every year (Over 3 years old) and if they fail you cannot use them on our roads until repaired and re-inspecfted.!!! Suspect there are vary many "unroadworthy" vehicles using US roads every day and no doubt causing accidents/crashes/deaths. OK that's a decision that your country has decided to take but there must be many such accidents/deaths which could have been avoided if problems had been properly dealt with. As usual your abilities in repairing such vehicles is miraculous and I am sure you have contributed to the health of both your customers and their vehicles over the years. Keep up the good work!!! Stay safe and well.
A little over an hour this morning between Wes fixing a transmission(being old I was going to say tranny...but that word has a whole new dimension in 2021!!) and exhaust and Matt on Diesel Creek getting another 10 year + sitting multi-ton monster running and moving! Time for a nap!
There's something really pretty about those gears.
I remember about 2 years ago I was rebuilding a big circulator pump for a chiller set up in a school. Was not a hard job but it was over 30 years old and the bearings were wasted even with good maintenance. I had the shaft on the press getting the bearings off. One exploded into pieces on me. Just cut it off but man it scared the crap out of me lol.
Did you see my plywood shield?
Wes, you welded without letting us watch. You know how we YT folks love to help out with offering proper welding technique. Look Wes, we just want to share our knowledge, hahahahahaha.
I find it super impressive,how much you know about so many vehicles!
Be thankful, You didn't have to unbolt it from the engine. : )
The Florida pool pump motor repair guy approved ! that was good info Wes
Brave man! Transmissions are the one place I don't go on vehicles unless I'm changing solenoids on a GM. I have similar powers of cheapness, must be an Illinois thing.
I've never been into an automatic transmission except easy stuff like speed sensors and solenoids. But manual transmissions don't scare me. Eaton and Spicer/Dana are nice enough to make all of the service manuals available online for free. Parts are also really reasonable. The oil I used cost almost as much as all the parts to fix the transmission!
@@WatchWesWork That is really cheap!!
Auto trans are too expensive to repair imho.. but I prefer them to manual... And I live in europe (and drive manual)
@@aitorbleda8267 I can tell you for how much people charge to repair them they're easy. Especially the drum and band style that I'm familiar with.
Rcccçcccc
Go watch someone do a triple counter shaft Mack transmission, they have timing marks on the gears! I did many of them and also a lot of Eaton and Fuller dual counter shaft roadranger transmissions, but that was back in the early 80s and we didn't have cellphones yet
Good video My boss had me drive a truck about 30 miles to the repair shop. The tranny had been making noise for a while according to the regular driver. By the time I got it there I had two gears left and they popped out of gear during deceleration . His decision cost a few extra grand. I learned a lot watching your show.
Maaaaan! I need a mechanic like you near me. Good honest ones are hard to find.
o dang.. I live in ky Back in the Woods & i Always had a 4x4 1979 Chevrolet Built 350 small block From 3' Straight Pipes Off of Headers ( HotRod/Work) & i Dreaded Half n To take the Transmission out of It With The Cast Iron Transfer Case By Hand in The Gravel & mud & the southern Heat..Shew What a Pain in The As* a..an neck& Back&Arms well I Bet You Remember Them Days .lol.! I Was cominh home late one night bout 3 n the morning & still in lead foot mode I Ripped out the Rear end & Twisted & Broke The Main Shaft in like 4 places in the transmission But i was with in coasting distance to home & just had to walk up my drive way more /less ! ...aaa The Good Ole Days ha ha ha ! That Cost me about 800 $ In Just Parts & i Was about 19-20 yo a lot of money & Work..That Was The First Time i Done It But Sadly Not The Last !
Hot damn... your subscriber count is skyrocketing. 124k now? Daum! Have not finished the video yet.
Seems to be going up. It's been pretty much stagnant for the last 2 months.
What a coincidence. I've been cutting down and trimming trees for weeks and today I'm installing a muffler. Mine was available from Walker though.Oh-Why-Me's actually had one on the shelf.
Interesting transmission walk-through and finally I see why the drive shaft has to be disconnected to tow.
Glad to hear you talk about the towing of a standard transmission, don’t know how many tow truck drivers& old school people I’ve argued with about that, one shop I worked for we almost had to sue the towing company for taking the tranny out of a truck for burning up the input pocket bearing
"If you're one of these guy's who wants to stay clean, don't do any mechanicing at all."
FTFY Wes.
#watchjrgo...
Weather sucks, what should I do, Watch Wes Work and a good old fashion trans fix perfect. Thanks Wes.
That's why Eaton transmissions paired well. With Detroit engines. They both leak. However just keep them filled up and they will run forever. God bless
It's not a Roadranger twin countershaft that the semis and other big trucks use. This is a derivative of what Clark transmission used to build, re-engineered by Eaton after they bought out Clark transmission.
If it ain't leaking, it ain't got oil in it.
Great video,: the ending reminded me when I changed the oil of my MGA in my companies loading dock. Your comment about the drain plug while filling brought back memories🤬.
Hi Wes, now gearboxes, always a magical mystery art to me, I leave well alone unless I really really need to take a peek Inside. Everything else is Mechanics but, I just dont get Involved In gear boxes, swop them, change them but dont work inside them, have mates still do that, so, I do multi carb set up tuning on there race engines, feel more at home doing them.. BUT, I just love watching guys like you do gearbox repairs.. Its a bit like the Dark side of the unknown, gear boxes, but I`m safe just watching - lol.. Have a good weekend/ or week, Ian - UK.
I'm not afraid of manual gear boxes. I've never messed with an automatic. There's a lot more to get wrong in those.
Man. Here I am being lazy procrastinating about a pinion seal on my Ford. Watching u work on a this Trans.
"using my powers of cheapness" = baaaa haaaa haaaa! Love it. I need to remember that one. Plus, I wouldn't say it's cheapness, it's good economy and just makes sense to do it the way you did because you could. :)
You’re a great Mechanic/Technician 👍👍👍👍👍
From my experience with driving one nearly 50 years ago, the Eaton transmission is still very much the same. I never saw it, but from the title, I'm pretty sure the movie that was titled "The Howling" was about those 5 speed Eaton transmissions.
Been checking everyday for this one!
Just a thought, have you ever thought of going to your local high school automotive repair class and finding a boy to help you after school and other school days off when you work? I did that all the way during my high school in a tv repair shop and it lead to a carer for life. Not as tv repair but wholesale tv parts and later computer parts.
Just great! Gonna hear it from !the wife as to why I didn't get the ceiling fan hung and the shed painted. Thanks a lot Wes!
Balancing that tranny on a 2x with no strap and no video cut from pull out to drop was a cinematic masterpiece. ((I have never seen nor pulled a trans that easily))
They come out easier than they go in...
I sold an old Ford F600 to a guy awhile back and he flat-towed it home about 40 miles away. Before he left, I asked if he wanted to disconnect the driveshaft but he said no, it’d be fine. After he got it running he found, to his dismay, that the transmission was destroyed. I’m guessing it had one of these constant mesh four-speeds in it cause it worked fine when I drove it. Expensive lesson learned, I guess.
Oh, old memories of my days of power shifting hot rod fords. I replaced a few gears. haha
Bonus Saturday morning video! It's kind of muddy out and I need another coffee anyway.
You make that job look easy but I know it is not. You are a professionals professional. Great job.
Made my day. Diesel Creek and Watch Wes. I think Matt had it a little easier with that loader than Wes with the truck. Both awesome videos. 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks 👍
Pre 1980 we hardly ever didn't have a time without a manual ransmission out for rebuild and or repair, one of my faverot jobs, Spicer and Clark units. After 1980 we switched over to fuller road rangers. Didn't have to do much to fullers at all.
The Eaton is more of a truck transmission. I’ve seen lots of failures of the New Process and other pickup transmissions used in bigger trucks.
Wes comes through again.....great videos.
Speeding up the press work looked really good.
The only tool that I might add for rebuilding shaft/ bearing things is a Fry Daddy. You wouldn't believe how some fried clams help you think about a trans. Or perhaps if it were filled w/ synthetic oil you could have a bearing/gear heater for $20. Seriously, they work great.
What can I say Wes. You are the man that can do everything!😎😎😎
Excellent work Wes! Your knowledge of all things automotive impresses me with every video! I was brought up in a DIY family, and I worked at a large Midwest ice manufacturer for over a decade in the 90's and early 2000's doing general maintenance including truck repairs. We had a great mechanic there who taught me so much that I think about him every time I work on vehicle, or see you working. I vividly remember removing the drive shafts on the ice trucks before we would tow them back and not completely understanding why, but now I do. Thanks for the content Wes!
I have a few “O.G’s” (old gentlemen) friend(s) who fall into your old ice house days guy...
They are by now getting up there in age, and passing on...
It’s not bad to be frugal as a matter of fact it’s a really good quality to have ! Other then monetary I hope he appreciates your efforts !
Wes i am so glad to see your channel grow. I hope u r making some money from these people. I also hope you get to read my comment because they are deleted due to the censorship on this site as fast as i can write them. Not only are you an expert mechanic but you do a great job filming. Your little boy is precious and your wife is charming. And the pup adds flavor too!!! Your friend down South,
Great job as always
Excellent video Wes, I learned a lot! Also, I know there are probably a bunch of "expert" welders who watch your videos but, don't be shy about showing your welding. I enjoy seeing exactly how the welding repairs are done.
I had a 1986 Saab 900 that had a 5 speed, I loved that it just took regular 40 weight. Weird car for sure, but no frills on the liquids lol.
That was great to see. Have a great weekend Wes and family
Great job Wes you are the man.
Mighty small workbench you got there Wes! Hahahaha.
You mentioned that this truck needed to be towed with rear wheels off the ground,or drive line disconnected,that reminded me of the old Military GMC trucks they had way back when.They had a special transfer disconnect lever in the cab that had to be latched in disconnect position,or towing would take out the fluid coupling that drove the transmission.I have changed out several fluid coupling s because operator forgot to latch out the disconnect lever.
Great video Wes, nothing better than being entertained and learning at the same time. Thankyou
Great video Wes!!! You are the man!!! Love learning from you!!! Thanks!!!
Thank you! Keep up the hard work!!!!
Nice see something designed to be serviced 😀
Great work Wes. 👍🍻
Thanks for another great video, Wes!
Awesome work Wes! 🛠🛠🛠
Great video!
Been waiting for this all week thank you Wes
Another great video and an awesome explanation of the transmission, keep up the good work Wes
Nice work!
great vid..was waiting for it,,
Great to see you search careful, quality work.
I remember rebuilding these in school, nice job!
Nicely done!😊
Really appreciate how you explain what and why you're doing, and how things work.
Lol @ "scuzzy greaseball" Eaton trans. Nice work with those snap ring pliers. Enjoying this series, and boy does it bring back a slew of memories with that chip truck I used to work on and drive when I was with the tree service company. Just the POV view of the gauges and that big goofy steering wheel was such a flashback. Lol. Looking forward to the next installment on this thing. Go Wes! 👍😎
Simplicity has its beauty.
You’re a great teacher
Nice work Wes.
That truck needs a Hurst shifter! Always great videos and work Wes.
