I can't possibly imagine why anyone needs to disparage any of your videos. They're the best of the best. This build video highlighted some info that every THM 350 builder can use everyday...
You did a very good job of explaining the different processes and the terminologies. Being about your age, I think, I can hear in your vernacular your experience as well as the people you learned from. This video was fun for me, as it reminded me of the work I did as a young man. I wish we had those rebuild kits 30 years ago. I hope the young people watching your instruction can appreciate not only your skills and knowledge, but the learning environment you create. Teaching while doing is not an easy thing to do. I did it for many years in my profession. Your verbal delivery of instruction while showing the process at the same time is about as perfect as can be. I have watched to many training videos to count. I actually enjoyed yours. I thank you much.
Hiram has got it going on! He is one of the best instructors on CZcams. I have rebuilt a transmission myself once, but I didn't trust my work, therefore I did not use it. Hiram shows where the mistakes can occur, and he also informs us of the proper parts used for the particular rebuild. This is great! Hiram, keep-up the good work. I'll keep watching.
Part 3? Please do not stop making Videos,, hard to find people like you that are willing to share your knowledge. And you are an awesome teacher. Kids nowadays need all the help they can get,,,
I really enjoyed this video!! Learned a whole bunch. I still remember my 16 year old self taking one of those apart and having no idea how it worked it looked like magical voodoo. So I ended up grabbing one from the junkyard. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the world
i think most of us hit that point sometime in our lives. " oh shit how does it go back together? screw it just go to the junkyard" before we had youtube.
Gracias Hiram once again for a very thorough and informative video. I appreciate the time and effort you put into these videos. Full of knowledge . I actually have one of these on my bench getting ready to go through it. Aver que le sale.Thank You Carnal. Looking forward to part 3.
My father is a retired police mechanic and he did all the transmissions, Hiram you sound just like my dad talking about ingenuity, the screwdriver your special tools look just like the ones he gave me. I am doing my first rebuild since tech school, that was 2000. My father is not into social media and such but he has found CZcams recently and I am going to have him make you his first subscription! He said he put his tools away one final time now its my time to build my own transmissions, I just wanted a refresher on assembly, but I am walking away from the computer with a smile on my face. You are A #1 for hands on real life scenario bench building. My hat off to you sir!
You rock. No need to defend against a negative comment or two. They will grow up one day, hopefully. It is very obvious that you know what time it is. Love your work. Rock on. We love ya.
Hiram: i owned/operated an AAMCO franchise for 15 yrs. You are dead on, regarding get it done right and get it out the door. These young "rookies" will learn that it has to work right or the owner is not happy, lost $, R&R men frustrated, taking the unit out and reinstalling again. 20 yrs ago a builder could push out 4 (350, c-6 etc) a day, today he is good to get 1-2 a day and that is a top notch builder. Unreal pressure on builders. Great builders make great money as does the owner.
Dead on John. I started with Aamco in 1972. learned on all the old iron. It was nothing to pump out 3-4, C-4, Powerglides, Torqueflites in a day... I made good money for 30 years in the transmission industry.
I always hit the thumbs up button before I watch because I know I'm going to see a really good video. I have been in this profession for 51 years and I'm still learning, thanks for what you do so well, I have learned a great deal. even though I'm no longer active I am able to stay currant in this particular area because of you and your videos. what you do is invaluable to anyone in this profession, Thank you again
His videos kinda make me want to try rebuilding, he makes it seem less difficult and gives so much detail. id have to see if hes done a video on a transmission from a 91 camry with the 2.0, i feel like my brothers transmission doesnt have too much longer to go with the constant manual shifting
Unbelievable that people don't SUBSCRIBE for free after watching. Millions of views yet only thousands of subs don't make sense!! Your knowledge is staggering! Thank you for taking the time to make this video and sharing it with us!
If every mechanic worked like you the world would be a much better place! If mechanics were like you I would take my own car to one - but they aren't so I fix my own...Great job!
THANK YOU HIRAM. I watched your vids to rebuild my 4l60e. That was 5 years ago and it's still working great! Thanks to you. You are one of my Hero's, Brother. I watched your Vid about 50 times throughout the process. You are a You Tube King as far as I'm concerned.
I have been in the Automatic Transmission business for over 43 years and Hiram is teaching you the right way,there should never be any bad comments about him.I dont know him personally but he seems like a damn good person as well.You can bank on what he is preaching.
Thank you Hiram. I’ve watched this and part 1 and they were a huge help in rebuilding my first 350. You obviously bring a lot of experience and knowledge to your videos and I really appreciate you taking the time to share it. I can’t wait to watch part 3!
i've been watching your videos for a while now & i think you make a great teacher. i do all my own transmission work myself. the first trans i ever done was a th350 & the second was a 2004r (200r4 whichever it is lol) which lasted at least 12 years until the car got stolen a couple years back. then a c6 (easy) & now i'm building a nice th400 to go behind a stout 383 sbc. when i was younger i ran around with a boy who's dad rebuilt transmissions for a living so i learned a lot from both of them. his dad walked me through a th350 that he was doing for a customer. that was pretty cool to do. most people are intimidated by them & are afraid to tackle doing it themselves, but in all honestly they're not to bad. get a good manual & watch Hiram's videos (or whoever has one of what your working on) & try it yourself. not all take special tools to work on & a lot of people show you tricks on how to get the job done without the specialty tools. thank you for doing what you do. you make a difference whether you know it or not.
Don't know anything about automatic transmissions but i do know from watching you and listening that you are the real deal. Thank you for sharing you experience and knowledge.
While I never rebuld an automatic transmission, I've learned enough from these videos to be able to understand the basics and if I need any work done on mine I'll at least be able to understand what they are talking about!
It's Sat 4am, dreaming, I'm hearing this constant banging and rattling metal to metal. WTF as I'm coming-to and hoping it'll go away. Gawd, it's like a metal shop bench I recognize as an FAA Certified Aircraft Mechanic at 16 years old. It's coming from my PC and I roll over trying to focus on the display I remember last night ...Mercedes E320 Wheel Speed Sensors... and wha? TN350? How did this huh? 2:00++ hours long omg??!! But I couldn't stop watching, before my eyes you're reassembling a trans I've only heard about. Actually decades ago, I was an Auto Service Contract Claims Adjuster where I discussed these components on the phone with mechanics, parts to which you were referring this very moment. Quite a fascinating video and I really enjoyed your expertise, finesse and mechanical "address" of energy. Theory vs. practicality is oh so a reality in the field, further, an A&P mechanic does not an automotive one make - that's for sure - and your video clearly demonstrates. As a DIY'er on my own benz's for 30 years I'm comfortable amongst the technology and fluid dynamics but still apprehensive when it comes to the automotive-astute mind you exemplify. Only a wrench in both realms can try describe another wrench, better, you just "know." Mostly I've learned, one is really good at one more than the other. You're really really good at what you do bro. Thanks for the great production! And to the Spring Valley and Cajon Speedway post, I feel ya'. Carlsbad dragstrip was a great venue too!
Hiram , I like all your videos. I did subscribe you deserve it. You tell us things that's might not be in the book or what to watch out for. I took a couple of classes at the local college just because I wanted to learn about them. We tested each drum with air to make sure we didn't roll a seal. Waiting for part three!
I've been away for a while but the th350 videos were a GREAT help! I built one over a year ago for a truck I no longer have and it has been in storage ever sense. I went with the high performance kit with the kolene steels. Also put in the Transgo kit. Up to this time, I had only rebuilt a powerglide back in the early 80s for class. The th350 ended up in a Mazda b2200 with a SBC that I recently completed. With your help and common sense approach to teaching with videos, my project was a complete success!!!! Thank you for posting informative and entertaining videos! Blessings!!
felicidades Sr Hiram Hernández es ud. todo un experto y muy profesional en su trabajo permítame felicitarle por su tiempo tan valioso que comparte con nosotros yo admiro y respeto alas personas como usted muchas gracias bary
I don't know why people don't subscribe. It was done in a way the back yard er can understand. Some people don't realize you have to have viewers so you can get the sponsors. Some don't care. Looking forward to part 3 Thank you
I am not 30 years old any more but 2 units a day has been a standard of industry for as long as i can remember. Great videos , I have the utmost respect for you , and have learned many things watching you in such harmony. Keep up the good work. JIM
I'm a Dodge dealership transmission technician. You helped me a lot with my first GM 4L80E overhaul for my buddy. I felt more comfortable doing the overhaul after watching your video. Look forward to watching more of your videos. You need to make one of the fix for A604 P1776 switching valve issue. Thanks Hiram.
I hit the like button before I watch because I know it's gonna be good....thanks Hiram! Be cool....run your fans!!! Man that foot press is a right handy tool.
Hiram? I'm SURE you've heard this thousands of times, but YOU REALLY ARE...The MANNNN!!!!! A Million thanks for the years of your hard work, and having me LMAO on every video!
WELL I HAVE A 1974 CHEVY TRUCK, 350 TURBO TRANMISSION THAT NEEDS TO BE REBUILT, YOUR VIDEO WAS THE BEST OUT OF 20 OTHERS I WATCH (PARTIALY WATCHED) GOT TO YOURS AND VERY INFORMATIVE AND GOOD ATTENTION TO DETAIL. I DO KNOW I HAVE ALL THE TOOLS TO REBUILD MINE, BUT MY BRAIN COULD NEVER KEEP THE PARTS AND PIECES ORGANIZED, SO HERE IN SPOKANE WASHINGTON I HAVE A FEW FOLKS THAT SPECIALIZE IN 350 BUILDS AND I WILL CHOOSE ONE OF THEM. I KNEW THAT AUTOMATICS HAD LOTS OF PARTS, OVER MY HEAD EVEN THOUGH IM A MECHANICLLY INCLINED PERSON. I HAVE A SM465 TORE DOWN BUT IT NEEDS MORE PARTS AND A LOT MORE TIME TO GET IT UP AND GOING TO PUT INTO MY TRUCK THAT IS SET UP FOR AUTOMATIC, SO GOING TO HAVE THE TRANS REBUILD BY A SHOP AND I WILL REBUILD THE 205 T CASE AND THE DIFFS MYSELF. NEED TO GET THE TRUCK ROLLING IN THE SPRING TIME. WHAT WOULD BE THE BEST REBUILD KIT FOR A TRUCK 350 TRANS AND WHAT MANUFACTUER,I HAVE SEEN THIS ONE COMPANY CALLED "MONSTER" DO YOU HAVE A OPINION ON THIS COMPANYS PARTS. THANKS AGAIN ON SUCH A GREAT VIDEO. IF ANYONE IS WORKING ON CHEVY TRUCKS AND REBUILDING SM465'S AND 205 TRNAFER CASES THE PLACE ON CZcams TO GO IS "GEBBUILD" CHANNEL HE HAS LOTS OF VIDEOS HEAVY CHEVY FIXES.
Your memory is amazing. Regardless of what occupation you chose in life, you would have been successful. We are all lucky that we can drive cars with your rebuilt transmissions! Thanks for sharing your videos!
Hiram- I was curious to know, and was going to ask you if you work at a Shop, or have your "own" Shop- then I heard *"Dad- the pizzas' here!"*. That sounded so sweet, that you're also a loving Father. Hit pause, wash up, go eat. Promise not to burp up pepperoni in the Valve Body, ok? Peace Brother, *thank you*.
I have no idea why people won’t subscribe . I’ve watched this video at least 5 times . I built a TH 350 for my drag car 3 years ago . Works great 9.24 in 1/4 mile very good video . You might think of a 350 with trans brake and the 7004r center support ! People aren’t using them there afraid of them .you know a hell of a lot more than I do !
Man i appreciate your time and experience, expertise, you share with us. It's not very often a man with your talent takes the time to share with people, so Thank you.
HIRAM ERES UN PROFECIONAL TE FELICITO..CUANDO NOS PODRAS DAR UN TUTORIAL DE LA TRANSMISION 4HP16 AQUI EN MEXICO ENTRE OTROS ES PARA CHEVROLET OPTRA 2008 GRACIA
This was great. Watching that table bounce reminded me of a 1" thick steel table I had. Needed a fork truck to move it but did it move when I had several hundred pounds of engine or transmission on it? No, no it did not.
Hiram is truly an expert. His videos are not only informative, they are extremely entertaining. I've watched several "hammer mechanic's" videos that only waste your time, but put you on the wrong track. Stick with a PRO as is Hiram. Oh, and thank you Hiram. un verdadero placer
Hey I was commenting on what you said about these guys going threw tech school and posting negative comments. You know text book and real life is different. You are the King of Transmission builders and I would trust what you say over any text book. I'm a certified tech and have been in the automotive field all my life, and you truly inspire me and as long as you have made a video on the transmission I'm building I feel comfortable doing the job. All of us mechanics are blessed to have you sharing your skills and experience. Thank you and please keep on posting your tech videos. I hang on to every word you say.
Just finished my 2nd TH350, since watching the video, 3 mos ago. The latter had severe damage, to center support case splines. So glad Hiram showed us the case fix metal tabs. Honestly took a bit of in and out to make them work, but in the end, everything tight as a drum. Thanks again. This one going in a 1949 Studebaker truck Hot Rod.
You remind me of the builder that taught me years ago. Practice & feel like you said. My days were all hydraulic trany's. You refreshed my old rebuilding day of long ago. Apritiated your show.
I have watched other transmission videos on Y-tube and your channel is best in my opinion. If I could subscribe more than once I would. I'm not a trans tech but I general mechanic and have learned things about transmissions that I never knew before. I always look forward to your videos. I have an idea to help with your subs. I won't promise anything but I'll try. You deserve it.
Great video but, I thought you said that you would omit 3 of the 4 ck balls for performance reasons as described on the shift kit. and yet you did install all 4 why??
Hiram, Thank you for taking all the time to produce these videos. I am NOT a professional mechanic but have been building and repairing cars & motorcycles for several decades. With little experience on an automatic transmission and only your videos and a book, I completely rebuilt my TH350 for my '78 Trans Am (w/'73 455 bored and stroked). Took me about two weeks off/on after work kept going back to your videos as reference. Today, my T/A got a test drive and everything is perfect. My car would not move an inch before I started. It turns out the outer seal on the Low/Reverse piston had deteriorated. There was no way pressure would build behind it to engage the clutches. All seals replaced, all fibers, all metals, band, etc. Thanks again!!!! My car runs perfect thanks to your help!!!!
Hiram, you are a very intelligent man. Well versed, the way you explain what you are doing is important information without making beginners feel bad. You are a good man.
This was great, amazing how much you know. I have rebuild engines and would never tackle a transmission overhaul but you inspire me to try in the future.
Wow! - thank you for taking the time to do this..I'm inspired to tackle this more now than ever - I tore down a c4 years ago when I was younger in the basement of our house and got freaked out..now it makes way more sense. Thank you.
Im a retired Chevy Olds Cad. mechanic. this 350 brings back old memories. You do a great job doing the recon and explaining. I enjoy your videos keep up the good work. Ill be seeing you on the next vidoe! Thanks!
You remind me of my friend Steve, he ran the transmission shop rebuild room at Palm Chevrolet in Ocala Florida .. just like him you know your shit an ace wrench and you most definitely know your shit. You make transmission rebuilds look like Child's Play, and of course anybody that has ever turned a wrench nose they are not,and there isn't a more technical job in the world.... Transmissions have a bazillion moving Parts they only fit if positioned correctly,and everything has to be in good working order.. undoubtedly Transmissions is one of the hardest positions at a dealership,or in any shop really..I subscribed, and I plan on watching all the time.. Thank you for the videos God bless you,, and your family my friend....Be well
Thanks Hiram for your th350 trans I up until the time I watched your video on the rebuild I never been inside a trans myself I’ve been around them but never personally attempted the overhaul I just wanted to say your video helped me go through the th 350 I used hp parts and shift kit your instructions were so precise to my amazement I put it back together and it actually works great, thank you for sharing
Just seeing these videos now, (sept 2021) first time rebuilder for my 1979 Chevy k20. Purchased a rebuild kit, shift kit, assemblee goo, and a manual on th350.What I didnt need, was the Manual. Excellent video and in fact the first time I've ever liked, subscribed, or even commented on a CZcams video. Keep up the great work. Very helpful!
Hiram, being an ol retired trans. mechanic I couldn't agree with you more, schooling in nice but no replacement for experience in the shop. You have great videos, I really enjoy them. Thanks
Hands down best transmission videos I've seen. Straight to the point and real talk. I could tell that you knew what you were doing just by the way you disassembled this transmission. I would love to have you build a transmission for my 4x4 Chevy...
You can only learn certain things by reading a book, and being in a classroom. Reality is a whole different ballgame. Just like with engine mechanics, classroom, and reality are entirely different. You did a fantastic job of rebuilding that THM 350. I have rebuilt a few back in the day along with a THM 400. I work on small engines now, and I love it. Thanks for great the videos.
I watched this and the 1st so I can talk with a degree of knowledge with an Auto trans guy who is doing my Mitz (Magna) next week. A great video, thanks for sharing. Love the comments you make about Theory vs Reality. Spot on !
Hey Hiram, I'm not a mechanic but I really appreciate you taking the time to make these videos. And because you don't swear I can listen with my family around!
Awesome video sir! I bought a book, watched both your videos, and now I'm gonna go build my THM350 till it shifts hard enough to break a output shaft. Brutal hard shifts ramming horsepower into my slicks! YES!
Fell asleep and woke up on this video. Interesting stuff here
That actually happened to me
Yup
Same😭😭😭
Same lmao
Same here 😂😂😂
I can't possibly imagine why anyone needs to disparage any of your videos. They're the best of the best. This build video highlighted some info that every THM 350 builder can use everyday...

This is the best video by far. Almost 5 yrs later and it's still ringing the sun shell.
I am watching your video 5 years later. i hope you’re doing great and thanks. for the teaching.. watching is how we learn
You did a very good job of explaining the different processes and the terminologies.

The voice of experience/wisdom, "When you cross over from THEORY to REALITY".....priceless!
Hiram has got it going on! He is one of the best instructors on CZcams. I have rebuilt a transmission myself once, but I didn't trust my work, therefore I did not use it. Hiram shows where the mistakes can occur, and he also informs us of the proper parts used for the particular rebuild. This is great! Hiram, keep-up the good work. I'll keep watching.

Best video ever you explain step by step I learn a lot
Hiram: i owned/operated an AAMCO franchise for 15 yrs. You are dead on, regarding get it done right and get it out the door. These young "rookies" will learn that it has to work right or the owner is not happy, lost $, R&R men frustrated, taking the unit out and reinstalling again. 20 yrs ago a builder could push out 4 (350, c-6 etc) a day, today he is good to get 1-2 a day and that is a top notch builder.

Dead on John. I started with Aamco in 1972. learned on all the old iron. It was nothing to pump out 3-4, C-4, Powerglides, Torqueflites in a day... I made good money for 30 years in the transmission industry.
Those were simple compared to the transmissions today. Just the difference from a 350 to a 4l60e is quite bit more time
I always hit the thumbs up button before I watch because I know I'm going to see a really good video. I have been in this profession for 51 years and I'm still learning, thanks for what you do so well, I have learned a great deal. even though I'm no longer active I am able to stay currant in this particular area because of you and your videos. what you do is invaluable to anyone in this profession, Thank you again
His videos kinda make me want to try rebuilding, he makes it seem less difficult and gives so much detail. id have to see if hes done a video on a transmission from a 91 camry with the 2.0, i feel like my brothers transmission doesnt have too much longer to go with the constant manual shifting
Unbelievable that people don't SUBSCRIBE for free after watching. Millions of views yet only thousands of subs don't make sense!! Your knowledge is staggering! Thank you for taking the time to make this video and sharing it with us!
I am a retired automation engineer that is disabled. I could watch your videos all day, thank you for sharing your talent very you are very inspiring.
If every mechanic worked like you the world would be a much better place! If mechanics were like you I would take my own car to one - but they aren't so I fix my own...Great job!
you have very educational videos and I don't even rebuild transmissions and your videos make me want to try and rebuild one myself!
Johny Reyes did you ever? I’m in the same boat
THANK YOU HIRAM. I watched your vids to rebuild my 4l60e. That was 5 years ago and it's still working great! Thanks to you. You are one of my Hero's, Brother.

3 hours of 350 goodness!! thanks so much, and keep them coming!
Hiram , I like all your videos. I did subscribe you deserve it. You tell us things that's might not be in the book or what to watch out for. I took a couple of classes at the local college just because I wanted to learn about them. We tested each drum with air to make sure we didn't roll a seal. Waiting for part three!
Definitely gives me insight into why transmission repairs and rebuilds aren't cheap - that's a technical job for sure.
I've been away for a while but the th350 videos were a GREAT help! I built one over a year ago for a truck I no longer have and it has been in storage ever sense.

One the most thorough videos I have ever seen, you are an amazing teacher!!!
I don't know why people don't subscribe. It was done in a way the back yard er can understand. Some people don't realize you have to have viewers so you can get the sponsors. Some don't care. Looking forward to part 3 Thank you
Hiram,
good video!
no blingbling... just what it's about!
Regards from Europe.
I can do it thank you before no way now I can do it

hello
Great video. So true about the things experienced builders do that arent "by the book".
This man is the truth of transmissions! Damn! I'm a military electronics weapons expert, and my head is spinning!
Excellent workmanship 👍🏼I like that you keep your work area clean and organized 👍🏼
I think CZcams wants me to watch this video cause every time I fall asleep watching Chrisfix I land here lol
Same 😂
yep
I get to it after Scotty!! 😂😂
this happened to me today
I was watching The Detail Geek and I just woke and my phone was on this lmao
I never owned an automatic transmission in my forty some odd years of driving but you made this very interesting.
Nice job boss.
I am not 30 years old any more but 2 units a day has been a standard of industry for as long as i can remember. Great videos , I have the utmost respect for you , and have learned many things watching you in such harmony. Keep up the good work. JIM
I'm a Dodge dealership transmission technician. You helped me a lot with my first GM 4L80E overhaul for my buddy. I felt more comfortable doing the overhaul after watching your video. Look forward to watching more of your videos. You need to make one of the fix for A604 P1776 switching valve issue. Thanks Hiram.
I hit the like button before I watch because I know it's gonna be good....thanks Hiram! Be cool....run your fans!!! Man that foot press is a right handy tool.
i do also
Have no intent of rebuilding a transmission. Just admiring your work. Subscribed.
first trans i rebuilt, 1988. brought back lots of memories, and knowledge I had forgotten. Thanks!
Ólllllllpllllllllllllllllllllllllllĺpllplĺĺĺppl
You really know your transmissions. You are very good, quick, and through both with repairs and explaining at the same time.
Hiram? I'm SURE you've heard this thousands of times, but YOU REALLY ARE...The MANNNN!!!!!
A Million thanks for the years of your hard work, and having me LMAO on every video!
You, my friend, are a skilled surgeon!
WELL I HAVE A 1974 CHEVY TRUCK, 350 TURBO TRANMISSION THAT NEEDS TO BE REBUILT, YOUR VIDEO WAS THE BEST OUT OF 20 OTHERS I WATCH (PARTIALY WATCHED) GOT TO YOURS AND VERY INFORMATIVE AND GOOD ATTENTION TO DETAIL. I DO KNOW I HAVE ALL THE TOOLS TO REBUILD MINE, BUT MY BRAIN COULD NEVER KEEP THE PARTS AND PIECES ORGANIZED, SO HERE IN SPOKANE WASHINGTON I HAVE A FEW FOLKS THAT SPECIALIZE IN 350 BUILDS AND I WILL CHOOSE ONE OF THEM. I KNEW THAT AUTOMATICS HAD LOTS OF PARTS, OVER MY HEAD EVEN THOUGH IM A MECHANICLLY INCLINED PERSON. I HAVE A SM465 TORE DOWN BUT IT NEEDS MORE PARTS AND A LOT MORE TIME TO GET IT UP AND GOING TO PUT INTO MY TRUCK THAT IS SET UP FOR AUTOMATIC, SO GOING TO HAVE THE TRANS REBUILD BY A SHOP AND I WILL REBUILD THE 205 T CASE AND THE DIFFS MYSELF. NEED TO GET THE TRUCK ROLLING IN THE SPRING TIME. WHAT WOULD BE THE BEST REBUILD KIT FOR A TRUCK 350 TRANS AND WHAT MANUFACTUER,I HAVE SEEN THIS ONE COMPANY CALLED "MONSTER" DO YOU HAVE A OPINION ON THIS COMPANYS PARTS. THANKS AGAIN ON SUCH A GREAT VIDEO. IF ANYONE IS WORKING ON CHEVY TRUCKS AND REBUILDING SM465'S AND 205 TRNAFER CASES THE PLACE ON CZcams TO GO IS "GEBBUILD" CHANNEL HE HAS LOTS OF VIDEOS HEAVY CHEVY FIXES.
You sir are an artisan ! I don't get to say this often but I'm impressed . Concider teaching you clear , concise and have a lot of patience .
Hiram, I appreciate you sharing your expertise with us. I would subscribe twice if I could.
I learned a lot from the video, thank you for the info on the trans
This is awesome! The front lines of auto repair, fighting against the enemy... breakdowns!
Thanks for such a straight forward and real video! Much appreciated!
Thank you Mr. Gutierrez , you have helped me rebuild 2 transmisions so far.Ican't wait for part three of the 350 rebuild.
Very good production for us newbies!!!!
looks like you are no newbie now
Thank you for teaching in a method that is easy to learn by, very helpful and very understanding and thank you for supporting the car culture
Your memory is amazing. Regardless of what occupation you chose in life, you would have been successful. We are all lucky that we can drive cars with your rebuilt transmissions! Thanks for sharing your videos!
this bacicly has no part of your statment but where is part 3?
tHANKS BEEN WATCHING SOME OF YOUR LESSIONS. Realyl liked the 4L60E it helped. I'm ASE Master but not a trans expert by no means. Thanks again

Hiram- I was curious to know, and was going to ask you if you work at a Shop, or have your "own" Shop- then I heard *"Dad- the pizzas' here!"*. That sounded so sweet, that you're also a loving Father. Hit pause, wash up, go eat. Promise not to burp up pepperoni in the Valve Body, ok? Peace Brother, *thank you*.
That is a great and fair question! 3 years ago?? Dios Mi'o!
I burped up a little. Just choked it back down. lol

I have no idea why people won’t subscribe . I’ve watched this video at least 5 times . I built a TH 350 for my drag car 3 years ago . Works great 9.24 in 1/4 mile very good video . You might think of a 350 with trans brake and the 7004r center support ! People aren’t using them there afraid of them .you know a hell of a lot more than I do !
Man i appreciate your time and experience, expertise, you share with us. It's not very often a man with your talent takes the time to share with people, so Thank you.
HIRAM ERES UN PROFECIONAL TE FELICITO..CUANDO NOS PODRAS DAR UN TUTORIAL DE LA TRANSMISION 4HP16 AQUI EN MEXICO ENTRE OTROS ES PARA CHEVROLET OPTRA 2008 GRACIA
This was great. Watching that table bounce reminded me of a 1" thick steel table I had. Needed a fork truck to move it but did it move when I had several hundred pounds of engine or transmission on it?
No, no it did not.
And nothing hit the floor!

i don't know a lot about rebuilding transmissions ,but i keep watching over and over, so i will get it sooner or later. thanks you are great at this
Hiram is truly an expert. His videos are not only informative, they are extremely entertaining. I've watched several "hammer mechanic's" videos that only waste your time, but put you on the wrong track. Stick with a PRO as is Hiram. Oh, and thank you Hiram. un verdadero placer
Automatic users: I don’t have a clutch.
Me who has a stick: Yeah, you have more than a clutch.
i have never seen a man just make a pile out of an automatic transmission he intends to rebuild with no regret.
Thanks for your knowledge that lip seal ring was giving me hard time but with the right tools got it done
Hey I was commenting on what you said about these guys going threw tech school and posting negative comments. You know text book and real life is different. You are the King of Transmission builders and I would trust what you say over any text book. I'm a certified tech and have been in the automotive field all my life, and you truly inspire me and as long as you have made a video on the transmission I'm building I feel comfortable doing the job. All of us mechanics are blessed to have you sharing your skills and experience. Thank you and please keep on posting your tech videos. I hang on to every word you say.
Hiram, You're The Man...
HIRAM ,WHERE DID YOU GO BUDDY, We miss your videos man
Just finished my 2nd TH350, since watching the video, 3 mos ago. The latter had severe damage, to center support case splines. So glad Hiram showed us the case fix metal tabs. Honestly took a bit of in and out to make them work, but in the end, everything tight as a drum. Thanks again. This one going in a 1949 Studebaker truck Hot Rod.
You remind me of the builder that taught me years ago. Practice & feel like you said. My days were all hydraulic trany's. You refreshed my old rebuilding day of long ago. Apritiated your show.
I have watched other transmission videos on Y-tube and your channel is best in my opinion. If I could subscribe more than once I would. I'm not a trans tech but I general mechanic and have learned things about transmissions that I never knew before. I always look forward to your videos. I have an idea to help with your subs. I won't promise anything but I'll try. You deserve it.
Great video but, I thought you said that you would omit 3 of the 4 ck balls for performance reasons as described on the shift kit. and yet you did install all 4 why??
Omit one closest to modulator. I done several hundred TH350s
Hiram, Thank you for taking all the time to produce these videos. I am NOT a professional mechanic but have been building and repairing cars & motorcycles for several decades. With little experience on an automatic transmission and only your videos and a book, I completely rebuilt my TH350 for my '78 Trans Am (w/'73 455 bored and stroked). Took me about two weeks off/on after work kept going back to your videos as reference. Today, my T/A got a test drive and everything is perfect. My car would not move an inch before I started. It turns out the outer seal on the Low/Reverse piston had deteriorated. There was no way pressure would build behind it to engage the clutches. All seals replaced, all fibers, all metals, band, etc. Thanks again!!!! My car runs perfect thanks to your help!!!!
I am not a mechanic but I like you. Watching you work is great. You are professional!
I fell asleep on my laptop and woke up to being 2:01:46 hours in the video lmfao
Spiche haha same thing happened to me
Hiram, What is the part# on the th350 hp rebuild kit you are using. Thanks
I have to get
i
I’m
As fine and thorough a rebuild I’ve seen... my hat is off to you
Hiram, you are a very intelligent man. Well versed, the way you explain what you are doing is important information without making beginners feel bad.
You are a good man.
drink every time he says "bushing" and "with meaning"
I can’t see man
This was great, amazing how much you know. I have rebuild engines and would never tackle a transmission overhaul but you inspire me to try in the future.
Wow! - thank you for taking the time to do this..I'm inspired to tackle this more now than ever - I tore down a c4 years ago when I was younger in the basement of our house and got freaked out..now it makes way more sense.
Thank you.
I like the way that everything is well explained because all the tricks to the rebuild are exposed to the viewer's eye
Im a retired Chevy Olds Cad. mechanic. this 350 brings back old memories. You do a great job doing the recon and explaining. I enjoy your videos keep up the good work. Ill be seeing you on the next vidoe! Thanks!
You remind me of my friend Steve, he ran the transmission shop rebuild room at Palm Chevrolet in Ocala Florida .. just like him you know your shit an ace wrench and you most definitely know your shit. You make transmission rebuilds look like Child's Play, and of course anybody that has ever turned a wrench nose they are not,and there isn't a more technical job in the world.... Transmissions have a bazillion moving Parts they only fit if positioned correctly,and everything has to be in good working order.. undoubtedly Transmissions is one of the hardest positions at a dealership,or in any shop really..I subscribed, and I plan on watching all the time.. Thank you for the videos God bless you,, and your family my friend....Be well
Great way to spend a snowy afternoon in Nova Scotia. Well made video. Thanks.
Thanks Hiram for your th350 trans I up until the time I watched your video on the rebuild I never been inside a trans myself I’ve been around them but never personally attempted the overhaul I just wanted to say your video helped me go through the th 350 I used hp parts and shift kit your instructions were so precise to my amazement I put it back together and it actually works great, thank you for sharing
Just seeing these videos now, (sept 2021) first time rebuilder for my 1979 Chevy k20. Purchased a rebuild kit, shift kit, assemblee goo, and a manual on th350.What I didnt need, was the Manual. Excellent video and in fact the first time I've ever liked, subscribed, or even commented on a CZcams video. Keep up the great work. Very helpful!
Hiram, being an ol retired trans. mechanic I couldn't agree with you more, schooling in nice but no replacement for experience in the shop. You have great videos, I really enjoy them. Thanks
Hands down best transmission videos I've seen. Straight to the point and real talk. I could tell that you knew what you were doing just by the way you disassembled this transmission. I would love to have you build a transmission for my 4x4 Chevy...
You can only learn certain things by reading a book, and being in a classroom. Reality is a whole different ballgame. Just like with engine mechanics, classroom, and reality are entirely different.
You did a fantastic job of rebuilding that THM 350. I have rebuilt a few back in the day along with a THM 400. I work on small engines now, and I love it.
Thanks for great the videos.
Thanks for cheering your knowledge, Pace&Love from Norway.
I watched this and the 1st so I can talk with a degree of knowledge with an Auto trans guy who is doing my Mitz (Magna) next week. A great video, thanks for sharing. Love the comments you make about Theory vs Reality. Spot on !
Thank you Automatic for sharing!!! You are a genius!!!👍👌❤️
Thanks for teaching this old dog some new tricks. Getting ready to do my first THM350 rebuild. Will be using your training as a tool.
Man. ..you are the man... watched video so when I try to rebuild my t350 on my 66... and I said try..
Hey Hiram, I'm not a mechanic but I really appreciate you taking the time to make these videos. And because you don't swear I can listen with my family around!
Awesome video sir! I bought a book, watched both your videos, and now I'm gonna go build my THM350 till it shifts hard enough to break a output shaft. Brutal hard shifts ramming horsepower into my slicks! YES!
Love the videos I'm subscribed, what I like most is how in depth you go and how thoroughly you show what it is your doing thanks and keep it up!!
