- In this Episode of Shaun Whale's Dirty 30 buildup - he catches up with good mate and absolute Automatic Guru - Rocket Rod from Wholesale Automatics.
You'd know Rocket from the 4WD Action trips as a wild man behind the wheel - but wait until you hear first hand the knowledge he has on automatic transmissions, in particular the one going in to Shaun's Dirty 30.

Rocket nearly running out of puff after that big speech!
was just about to say that
like a kid on Christmas morning :D
12 beers into
Who else noticed this? And checked the comment?
Yeah but he has noticeably dropped weight and slimmed down on their latest videos.
Rocket Rodney has taken top dog on this channel! Episodes just aren’t the same without him now thrashing that Toyota 🤣
Rod is the Gordon Ramsey of Auto's...
He never stops smiling the ol mate Rocket! Best guy out 👍🏽
Thanks Guys, always good. I could listen Rocket-Rod for ages, he definitely knows his craft.
Careful mate, if Rocket is involved then he's probably set that thing up to only go flat out.
Like Shauno has any other setting anyway...
Yeah true mate.@@gosportjamie
Pedals? Nah those are on and off switches.
Nice to hear Rod talking with pasion and knowledge, and for Shawn, keep this project going, can’t wait for its debuttrip! Cheers from HollandNL
I love the enthusiasm the big guy has about his product. You gotta appreciate that, can't wait to see the Dirty 30 2.0 out and about!!
Never seen Rocket talk so much.....fantastic stuff guys and looking forward to seeing you both back on a track somewhere!!
Kinda wanna do an auto conversion just so I can have a beer with rocket.
lol
I have always preferred manual transmissions and always thought I lost too much control in an auto. Rocket, you make a winning argument, and what can I say? I think you are right. If I could trade my 6MT for one of your autos right now I would. Trying to pick my way down a rough grade in 1st Lo last weekend, and having to release the clutch because I needed to go so slowly the engine would stall, I was thinking of your wise words brought to me through CZcams across the oceans and continents... and again when I stalled and had to re-start climbing some rocks. It took a lot to change my mind on this one, but you've done it. Rocket, you are a legend! And now I have to eat a lot of crow...
Rocket you definitely deserve your weekends 4x4ing if you are putting that much energy into your work during the week. Great to see the passion!
loving the build series.
be awesome if you could do more tech talks as the rocket left me just wanting more of his knowledge.
looking forward to seeing the dirty 30 2.0 out bush
It’s about bloody time! Listening to Rocket in his element is absolutely amazing. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Your truck is really gonna be a beast!!!! Rocket really knows his stuff, no BS with him. Very impressed with his knowledge!!!
Rocket deserved that beer after that spiel! great stuff boys, utes's looking mint
The 4WD Action channel is a national (and global) treasure
Rocket loving life. Hugging the valve body like a newly born baby. 🤱
You noticed lol
I could watch these 24/7. Keep them coming!
Great to see someone so passionate and genuine about his technology! I was a manual for life kind of guy, now that I'm stepping away from performance cars and getting into off-road driving, I really wish I had gone auto behind my 7.4l instead of the SM465 I chose when replacing my existing trans in my Jeep!
What a great build! Rocket knows his stuff about autos...can't wait to see the Dirty 30 in action!
Great to hear Rocket in his element! He's so excited to talk about it!
You guys are really making things less complicated for us around the world...Love the drinks.
Rocket Rod know's his shit about Auto's, it was great to sit and listen Rocket explaining Auto's and this Dirty 30 will be a huge upgrade for you and jet off road.
First auto in my 4wd and such a great one to watch! The knowledge is A1 and looking forward to your Seinfeld your rig on dvds!
I'm so glad you guys committed your content to CZcams love your stuff!! Big cheers ...
Can see how passionate rocket is with his shit! Love to see someone who knows so much and cares so much about his job!
Super smart build! I love the challenge of wheeling a manual, but now that I have an auto, I can enjoy the journey more. Especially with Hill Descent Control I can let the vehicle manage the brakes while I control the speed using the accelerator. It's a dream on long descents in the mountains.
500 views and no dislikes? Gotta be another quality upload from Shauno and The Team .......
What a knowledge! And what a heck of finetuning to the (literally) core...!! 👍🏼
Can’t wait to see the finish product!! So keen to see it hit he tracks!! Good work Shauno!!
I just found your channel this week and have probably already watched about 24hrs of awesome 4 wheeling and camp cooking videos. You guys really look like you know how to have some fun. I wish we had places here in Texas to do even half the adventures you all go on. Please, Keep the videos coming. Can you make a video on how you set your vehicles up for deep water? There are a lot of videos out there on doing the water crossing but nothing really about setting up your rig to make it through without damaging engines, electronics, etc. Thank you.
Really awesome to see Rocket in his element like this! We don't get to see his technical side often and it's great.
Always wanted to see a build up of the original Dirty Thirty. This is a great alternative.
Really like how you are building it. And the auto is a great idea!
Is it just me or is the dirty 30 v2 the ultimate 4wd?
Absolute weapon
These sort of segment's are Spot-On Shaun, the Beast is going to be Great Mate, Steve.
Can't wait to see this bad boy on the trail! Dream build!
Absolutely awesome tips on Auto upgrades Thank blokes 👍
I’m so excited to see the new 30 in action, this is shaping up to be one hell of a beast
Im so excited I can't wait to see the dirty 30 mark 2 complete
Can’t wait to see your new beast in action mate. This is going to be epic!
Rocket for sure seems to love what he does and has a drive for it.. Awesome explanations of what and why and how to with these.. Cant wait to see the dirty 30 2.0 up and going.
Nice one, this video just open my eyes how auto transmission is working , so cool!
Man I can't wait to see the Dirty 30 back in action.
4wd action😎 you guys are the best. Cheers legends
This is by far the best 4x4 show on the net ! 4x4 fun ,beers , camping in lovely spots, cooking,fishing and to top it off a really nice build project . Not to shabby coming from decedents of criminals, banished to what has become paradise ,once though of as a bad place to have to be living. THE BRITTS MUST BE KICKING THEM-SELF'S IN THE HEAD LIVING IN CONSTANT RAIN WHILE YOUR ALL SOAKING UP THE SUN ON NICE SANDY BEACHES. THE IRONY OF IT ALL IS PRICELESS.
Bloody hell, Rocket has a voice.
Good stuff. Love rockets 4x4.
The new dirty thirty is gonna look tuff when it’s finished can’t wait to see it
Can’t wait until the dirty30 is finished it is going to be a beast
As always I learned a lot. Cheers gentlemen.
She is getting there mate love the walk around vids you are doing carnt wait to see it finished
Love these guys, some Quick Numbers here. The average wage in australia for people working in resteraunts is 60,000$ a year (Aus) and an IT guy makes 90k +, wow. That shift controller is 800$ USD for the box and 700$ for the loom, yikes!!! but with their strong currency and job incomes, no wonder Rocket has done 350 conversions on new Landcruisers which cost 80,000$ + (basic interior) crazy crazy australia! (must visit soon!)
And that's just the 79 series lol
Great video and a lot of knowledge!!
Well done guys, I enjoyed this.👍
Good video fellas, cant wait to see the Dirty thirty on the road
Wow AMAZING this cruiser is going to be the one and only hope you have a lot of fun in it.I am sure everyone is going to be jealous watching you hahaha
Can’t wait to see some trail footage of that beast!!!
Going to be one hell of a beast when done cant wait to see it in action!
I can’t wait to see the Dirty 30 is finished and 4wdriving on the tracks.
"Rad" Rocket
Like a light switch hey.... either ON, or OFF....... nowhere in between 😁
Great video guys
Good luck with the build Shaun-o
Rocket, the legend of autos, keep up the top work Rod
drooling from the U.S. Can't wait!
I could listen to Rocket Rod go on all day.
I've never heard rocket talk so much. It was great
Well explained Rocket Rod i like how u explain how everything is done an works in detail 🙂I've been a manual transmission fan but i think it would be awsome to get that trip tronic conversion done to the 07 SR5 Lux And i would deffinately come to u to have it done 🙂
Wow, a phone app to control the transmission?!? Totally cool! I can’t wait to see this finalized and out on the trails!:-)
Awesome so keen to see the rest👀👌😎
Can't wait to see this thing perform!
Rocket Rod has been waiting for the opportunity to shine in the workshop,and he has!
On ya Rocket!! What a wealth of knowledge!!
Congrats mate I just got a patrol mate I wish one day to come out with you guys 👍👍👍
I see dirty 30 , Rocket and Shaun and I hit the like button. Goo shauno .
Unreal. Might have to watch this a few more times.
Rocket doesn't say much but when he does the man knows his onions and is worth listening to. Also he drives like he stole it. Top bloke.
What's a show without a bloody good beer in hand.
Definitely want one of these conversions for my GU when I do the TD swap.
Wow holy shit technology has come so far so fast even in my lifetime and i was born in 1993. Love the channel guy's i live in the USA i want to come check out some of your trails in Australia now your country is much more diverse than i could've ever imagined.👍🇺🇸
Awesome stuff mate keep up the good work , Go the 30.
Going to be an absolute rig of a ute, really opened my eyes about autos and now I'm leaning more towards an auto next rather than a manual.
Awesome build Shauno!!
Absolute weapons 4wd action love the videos
On-demand lockup torque converter lockup sounds amazing
Rocket is a legend, great video
It felt like I was listening to an erotic podcast on transmissions! Old rocket is a passionate man, so full of knowledge
Spudda Stewart never heard someone so excited to explain autos
Pretty sure rocket rod had a few drinks hahaha. Love it though can’t wait to see it finished
Cant wait to see shaun new car love it it looks good
Rocket rod.. how bloody knowledgeable. Good on him
love this build, hope to have a build like this on my channel one day, but with a jeep
Great video
Thanks
I’ve sent an enquiry to Tod re my HDJ100R auto.
Rebuilt once- next time with Rod’s input
Im gettin dizzy with all this turnin around na love ya rocket 😄
Give Rod a segment of his own.. struth he knows his stuff. I know why hes goes on your expeditions, just a nice bloke full of knowledge.
Shawn's face is priceless. It's as if Rocket is explaining how magic is a real thing.
Excellent series Shauno and good to see you bringing these guys in to demonstrate there knowledge. I good for guys like me at home thinking about these projects as now I know who I will be going to for my transmission gear. My BS detector goes off pretty easily and not once did I detect even a hint of Bullshit. I believe Rocket knows his shit, he did a great job and came across as genuine and honest. I bet it ain't cheap though. But you get exactly what you pay for in this harsh world ay.
Absolutely loved it so much information. My question for rocket is what exactly could you do for a td42 auto gq
Any new automatic for off-road would be the obvious choice; better fuel economy, more power, more control, etc.
I cant wait for the new dirty 30 😁
Cheers Mates from North Carolina
90% over vehicles in North America have automatic transmissions. That being said its interesting to see people doing automatic conversion on their 4wds in Australia.
Makes ya wander where we went wrong.
Good information for conversation transmission 👍
Can’t wait to see the 79 and the 30 on the tracks together
