Talk about down the rabbit hole. The inner workings of vehicle transmissions

Saw where he lost money on the tesla this year, but he has enough cash to keep it afloat.

I imagine just about every car manufacturer lost money this year lol... 2020 has been Thunderdome

My father-in-law was a tranny builder for over 50 years. I was always in awe of watching him build a transmission with just memory. He could diagnose most problems just by hearing the symptoms. Taught both of his sons the same way.
A transmission build was the last thing he did before he passed away.


P.S. if you are in the OKC area, I can recommend two really good builders.

Unbelievable. There is no way I could put something like that back together after pulling and randomly piling-up all those parts.

Oh yeah, ain't no way. In that build video, he stops several times telling you if you do this, this will happen. Here is how you adjust this. Don't get these mixed up or you will shell the third gear. We glue in the seals. Don't use the regular install tool, use a bigger size first.

I took Auto Mech at MWC Vo Tech in high school for 2 years and got certified. We learned a lot about rebuilding engines and transmissions. No way would I ever rebuild an auto trans. Thousands of parts ,etc.

Name? This was in the '70's. I wish I would have taken HVAC or Aviation. MWC/Del City didn't have aviation back then. Not sure if they do now.

Nope. Wasn't him. He just retired about 5 years ago. Randy taught in the 90's and 2000's.
