 got an issue. I've got this thing all the way down and low. It does not want to move. So let's try second gear. This is what it does when it's cold. Gotta fix that. We're underneath the truck is the pan, the transmission. First thing we're going to do is we're going to pull this plug out here. That's a drain plug. And we're going to let it all drain out. This thing's hot. I should get a lot of it out. I won't get most of what's in the torque converter out because I have no way to actually flush it because I couldn't find the pump anywhere. Nobody had the damn pump. So first thing we're going to do is we're going to pull that out and what the fluid looks like. Black it is. That should be red. That should look like, you know, red. Almost like blood, like see-through blood. As you can see, that's, um, and it's pretty thick. When you smell it, it'll smell burnt. Just like a burnt oil, you know, it just got a God awful smell to it. Now I'm pulling the pan because I've got a new filter and pan gasket, which I used to do 100% of my shopping for parts at Advance Auto. Now they kind of let me down when I called about parts for this last night. The gasket for this and the filter, which is like a screen, and there's a little gasket for that. Okay, it comes in a kit. It won $31.99. I called it a Riley's and I used to hate them, but this was $15.99 there. Half price. Half the price. And it wasn't on sale or nothing. So, but man, this thing is, I can smell it. It's really bad. So we're going to let this, let this drain for a little while and then I'll show you how to take this pan off of here. And I hope, hope you guys can see okay. I may have to put my light up, but my light's pretty, you know, it won't fit underneath here. I got it jacked up a little bit. I wouldn't have to do that, but I did that so I could get the camera under here. So I may have to rig up a light somehow for you guys to see better once we take these boats off. Now there's 14 boats on here. There's four different kinds of transmissions for this thing. And this one's a 14 bolt and then they've also got 18 or 19 bolt, but this is the small one, 14 bolt. I think it's in what is an AC 30A something. I'll put it right across the screen right now. But those are the four different ones that you can get. But like this, this, this is the same thing for what, 99 to 2004. The way I'm doing this. So if you've got, if you guys have one of these, this is pretty much how you're going to do it. So I'm going to, I'm still going to let that drain a little bit and then we're going to go from there. I'll be back with you guys. Hang on a second. Just like that. You don't want to bend it too much because you don't want to put a lot of bends in this pan that you're going to have to hammer out later. So let's take take these loose some more. They're not very long bolts. I'll show you. That's all the longer they are. Quarter inch maybe, length wise. So let that drain a little bit more. This is a two-piece up here. This is a two-piece dipstick tube. Okay. It'll come apart right there. Now if you have to take the upper part off, there's one bolt here that holds it on up here by the starter. Screws into the bell housing right up there. I don't know if you can see that point out. There's a bolt right up there right there. So let's go ahead and pull this, this bolt the rest of the way out. That's the last one. I don't make too big of a mess. I'm going to put this plug back into the pan and I'm going to try to, and I made a mess anyway. Damn it. So anyway, right here, right here's the screen. Where's it at? Right there. I can't see nothing. I don't, right here's the screen and I'll take that off and I'll show you what all it involves. I got transmission fluid all over the damn concrete and it's got this big old, you know, eight foot tarp. Anyway, so I'm going to get this out of here next. Let me go see what size wrenches I need. I got to get my glasses. All right guys, there's five bolts on this thing. There's one, two, three, four, and five. They're eight millimeters and that's what's holding our screen up in there, which is also known as a filter, but it's just pretty much, it's just a screen. Don't lose these bolts either. They are metric and then we'll get this out of here and I'll show you. I'll probably have to get a wrench on that one there and I'll show you the difference in them. Yeah, sorry guys. I got it. Someone and I'll show you all the crap that gets built up in this. Boy, I wish I could do a complete flush, but like I said, I couldn't find, I'm gonna have to clean all that off that catalytic converter too or it'll stink. It'll go trucks on fire. No, it's not on fire, but I couldn't find the damn 12 volt transfer pump I needed, so I'm just going to have to try to get what I can out of it by doing this. I know there's still got to be some up in the torque converter. Torque converter holds a lot of fluid guys, so remember that when you're just going to say, I'll just change the fluid and filter. Remember there's a lot of that old fluid. Up inside the torque converter, which is up inside here behind the bell housing there. Still hot. Trying to get out of your guzz's way. Like I said, this has got a gasket on it too, so you probably have to, all right, at least that fell in the pan, right? So you have to clean the gasket off. There we go. That fell in the pan and that's where the new filter is going to go. All right, so let me, I'll show you that. Try not to get this fluid all over the camera. All right, so I'm going to let that drain while that's draining. You know, this is the old gasket here. So I got to get all that cleaned off and it's all real hard and stuff. It's been on there for many years. It's been hot many times, so that's going to take me a while. This I'm probably just going to use a razor blade on it, a razor blade type, and just go around that. Maybe if I can find my brass bristle wire brush, because this is aluminum, so you got to be careful using metal on this. You don't want to take any of that aluminum off or you'll have a leak. All right, so let me get that filter out of there and I'll show you the difference between that one and the new one. Okay guys, hope you can hear them. I got the fan running in the background. It's very hot. There's the new one and see it's just like a screen. Like, you know, something like your, like your screen door only. This is really, really fine. Okay, there's what that is. Made in China, 1080. Nice, that number on there. Now, as you can see, hopefully, look at all that. See? That's all that sludge. That screen is totally clogged up. Now, I know what a lot of guys are going to ask. Can I just clean that? Will it be okay? Now, there's going to be a lot of guys say, no, you can't clean it. Don't do it. Get a new one. Well, if it was a paper filter, I would say, yeah, true, but this is not. It's a metal screen filter. Okay, it's a screen now, providing you get that thing looking as good as this and get it totally unclogged. Your short on money. You know, you can't afford the 15 bucks to go get it. All you can afford is the fluid to put back in it. Yes, you can do that and make sure you put some gasket sealer around that pan because it doesn't hold any pressure. It just holds, just keeps anything from leaking. You can put the blue goo. You can put the black RTV sealer around it. You can put the orange RTV sealer around it, whatever. And this, make sure you clean it out. If you've got diesel fuel, if you've got parts cleaner, brake parts cleaner, brake cleaner, anything like that, just make sure that when you hold that up to the light like that. See, can you see my finger behind there? If you're looking down through this square, you got to make sure you can see behind that. I don't know if you guys can see my finger moving. Maybe if I put something white back there. Yeah, see, you got to be able to see clear through it. Make sure and you hold it up to the light and make sure you can see through that screen. Here's a good view, maybe. See, you can see my sign behind that screen. See that? Make sure all that screen is like that. Yes, you can do it. I've done it and I've run the car, you know, 80, 90, thousand miles. I never had a problem. Just make sure it is clean. Make sure you don't hurt that gasket. If you do, you're going to have to put some sealer around it. And don't glob it up because you don't want these holes in here clogging up. Okay, you don't want to clog up anything. Just make sure it's very well cleaned. Now, as you can see, this one is so dirty. You can't see my hand behind there. You know, you cannot see. I'm rubbing all that that shit away. Look at that. See all that stuff coming off of there? So hopefully this will, you know, hopefully it'll buy us a little time is what I'm hoping. I also got some of this stuff. I usually don't leave in it. But in this case, I'm going to try it, you know, because she said the thing from day one, from day she got it, she's never, it's never like kills. So, but there you go. So now I'm going to go out and clean the pan and clean that gasket off that old gasket off there. And let's put it back together. Okay. Okay, guys, now here's the panel. Let me show you what this thing is full of. Look at all that. That sludge, that slime, that's old tranny fluid, maybe some clutch parts, you know, that has all got to come out of there. So, you know, that'll, that'll clog up your, your valve bodies and, you know, your, your valves in there, that'll all get clogged up. So I'm going to get this cleaned off. And as soon as I get, and this still got a lot of gasket on it, so as soon as I get that all cleaned off, I'll come back with you and we'll get it put back together. Okay, guys, we've got everything cleaned up the best we can. I wanted to show you inside of here. This is a little magnet that catches all the, catches any, any metallic stuff. It'll keep it from, you know, going back up into the system, clogging stuff up. I've got a rubber gasket on here so I could start my screws. All right. And it holds the gasket in place. Now, if you're using a quart gasket or something like that, you may want to use some kind of tack on it. A little bit of sealer or something, but this you won't have to. I've already got the, the new filter up in there. So now we're going to get these started. A couple of these started here. And then, then I'm going to tighten them down. Now, there is a torque back. I'm not sure what it is, but it would be an inch pounds. And there's a torque sequence, but this is not holding any pressure like a head or an intake or something like that. So I'm just going to do a cross pattern on them. And then we'll go from there. So I'm going to get these up in here and get these all started. And then I'm going to tighten them with my ratchet because they don't have to be super duper tight. Again, just, you know, just snug them. And that's pretty much it. I'm going to go over them one more time, make sure they're tight. I'm going to tighten this up and we're going to fill it up with fluid. Okay guys, there's marks there. See, there's mark there, there, there and there. And it'll tell you hot. So when it's hot, you know, up to operating temperature, you know, it should be between these two marks right here. And when it's cold, it should be between these two marks. This is when, this is when you have to add. Okay, so when it's cold, it should be there. That's when you're checking it cold. But I always like to check mine idling. I'll start it up, let it run, let it get up to operating temperature. Where'd you go? And then, uh, then I'll check it idling in park and it should be somewhere in between here. I like to see it closer up to here, but you don't want it over for either. So, and there's the type of fluid dextron too. So that's a real tiny, I can't just dump it in. That's a real tiny hole down in there. Let me see if I can get you down in there. So I've got a little trick for that. See, that right down in there, I don't have a funnel that small. So I've got another idea and I'll show you here in just a second. Now, I bought this castrol. I love their oil for small engines and this is for Honda, Toyota, Nissan and other imported vehicles. So it's supposed to work on this. I did cross-reference it and people had said they've used this with no problem. So I'm going to set that up there for right now. Okay, and I'm going to take this in one end. It don't matter which one. And I'm going to stick it down in that tube, the dipstick tube. I'm going to stick that down in there. I'm going to open this up. I'm going to start out with three gallons. This is, or three, three quarts. This is a gallon. So it's four quarts. So I'm going to start out, like I said, with three quarts and we'll see. We'll go from there. We'll start it up, let it run a little bit, check it, and we'll go from there. And I'm going to stick this down in here and I'm going to start squeezing this bulb and it should suck it up out of there. And if it don't, I'm going to be pissed. Of course I could have it the wrong way. I didn't think there was a way or a certain way you put it, but let's try it like this then. Get this down in here and this don't seem to be working at all. All right, let me check this out and I'll be back with you. I've never had one do that before. Okay, I got it going. I just had to get some down in there. See them bubbles? I've got it siphoning into, it's automatically filling into the transmission. So I'm going to put about three quarts in there. We'll start it up, run it through the gears, check it, and if it's pretty close, then we'll go ahead and let it get up to operating temperature. Check it again, we'll go from there. Okay, let's start it up. We're going to run it through the gears. When I say that, I mean go to reverse, neutral, drive, two, and low. And then back up again, just like that. Don't go fast, give it a second, and then we're going to pull it out while it's still running and we're going to check it. Let me get my glasses on. We may be just about right. See, it sucks some down in there. So let's pull it out or let's put it back in there and we'll check it again just to make sure I'm looking at it on the ad. So I'm going to add some more into it and then we'll check it again. All right, it's up to operating temperature. Now let's check. Wipe it off, dip it again, make sure you put your dipstick all the way down in. So on ad, I'm going to need to add about another pint. When these things add, it's not like the oil, you don't add a whole quart. Add it by the pint. So I'm going to put another pint in it and I'm going to call it a day. We'll let monkey take it for a ride. I just took it for a drive, it's shifting good. So I'm going to put another pint in there and we'll go from there. Hard to see, but it's right there, right before that last mark. Now if you look on this side, if you can see it, it goes way up here. Never go by your highest mark, always go by your lowest. So it's right in there. I'm going to let it go like that. I think it's good to go. Uh, it doesn't look bad because I didn't get to flush it all the way. So it does look pretty good. And I'll explain that to you in just a second. Let me get some of this stuff cleaned up and I'll be back with you. Okay, so monkey's coming back from test driving it. Let's see what she thinks. Pretty good sign, huh? Is it normal? Peps again? No slip? I heard it when you took off. It just clicked them right off, didn't it? Yeah, yeah. Second, third, and yeah. Yeah, that's just what it needed to do. All right, so we got lucky guys. I was praying. Like real hard. It's, this is, for this situation, it's not a permanent fix. The truck has, what, 487,000 on it. Got almost half a million miles, but it'll get us through for a little bit. And if it starts slipping again, then it'll be time to change the transmission. So we're getting another truck. I'd like to keep this one, but I'd like to make a little rat rod out of it, guys. Pepp it up a little bit, you know. A little 30 shot of nitrous, dual pipes, dual stacks up the back. Sun visor. Yeah, that's the way you think. Good to go. Yeah, yep. That felt better. A lot better. All right. Yeah. All right, I'll be back with you with my final thoughts. Who the hell am I? Who used to say that? Jerry Springer. It's not my final thoughts. I better not say that. Yeah, because he got a little loose on his program. Yeah, they could play that shit on TV during the daytime. Might as well get demonetized if I say fuck. Damn, the love bugs are horrible. All right. I'll be back with you. Let you know what's going on. All right, guys, to give you an idea of what we're looking at, I know it's a black pan, but you get an idea here. Look at this. See that? That almost looks like motor oil. It's not, but it should be red, and I'll show you what it should look like. I left a corner full here to show you. That's what it should look like. Okay, so what was going on was that got sludge built up. Okay, now she would have a habit, and this has been since we've got together, she would shift. I noticed she would reach down and shift it, and I'm like, is your transmission all right? She's like, yeah, I just accidentally put it in second gear sometimes. Well, it got to be a habit. And this thing was taking off in second gear all the time. So first gear was hardly ever being used, you know, unless like when she would come up to a stoplight and then take off, or then it would start out in low gear. But as soon as she would like go from reverse, instead of going down to drive, she would go down to second. She said, well, I can't see them numbers and only takes a second to look down. So she would skip drive and put it in second. Well, now it's not going to take off in low gear. It's going to take off in second gear. And that'll make them run hot. And when they get hot, the viscosity, I can't get into all this. This is like a whole another episode. But the viscosity of any oil, any hydraulic fluid, anything like that, which that's kind of like a hydraulic fluid, which is an oil. It's all petroleum based, right? So when it gets hot, it'll break down, it gets thin. And then as it cools off gets thicker, and then it gets thin, and then it gets thicker. Then it turns into sludge after so long. Well, when it does that, when it's turning into sludge, it's just laying down there. You're essentially losing fluid, because this truck never had a leak. So essentially what it was doing, it was running low on fluid. So we got lucky there. We saw a cool car chase. We were standing in there taking a break, monkey was talking, we was talking. And there was a little Toyota pickup truck, about like this, a regular pickup truck, though, kind of pulled off like he was going to pull in slow down in all at once. It looked like a Chevy, maybe not a Malibu, but like a Monte Carlo, like from the 90s, maybe early 2000s, went around that truck and right behind him was Sheriff. He was running from him. Then we kept hearing these sirens all around us, and they was going up and past up and down past here, and the sirens was the next street over, and I heard tires squealing and sirens, and they were on him. They were after him. So I don't know if they got him or not, but I got a couple second clip of him going past the house here on my camera system. So I'll show that to you at the end of this video. So that'll just be a few seconds for you. But anyway, guys, thanks for watching. That's how you do it. The hardest part and the longest part of this particular transmission is getting all your gaskets cleaned off, getting your pan clean, get everything out of it. That's what takes the longest. Take your time so you don't have any leaks and you should be all right. Like I said, it's just a matter of taking all them bolts out. Make sure you get the gasket in place and you'll be all right, and it shouldn't leak on you. Don't over tighten them, but make sure they're snug. A couple days, check them. You know, like tomorrow, she's got a long day at work. So when she gets home, I'll go ahead and check the fluid. I'll check the bolts again, make sure they're tight, and everything will be good there, and I'll let you know in an upcoming video how the truck is doing. So like I said, maybe it probably took me over an hour just to get everything clean. The transmission clean, where the pan goes up on, wipe everything down inside, get any of that out, that gunk that you can get out, make sure that magnet's clean, and then you got to clean that pan off too. So if it's been on there like this, as long as it has, you're going to have some trouble getting it off there. Use a brass brush or whatever you got to do, just make sure all that stuff is off there clean and you'll be good to go. So if you've never done one before, but you've got one just like this, it's not that hard. Follow what I did, couple hours, you'll be done. So, alright guys, and you gear heads, I know you're saying I can do it in half an hour. Well, you probably can. I probably could too, but it took me over an hour just to clean the pan and the transmission because I got it really clean. But you know, total working time, yeah, about 30 minutes, and I had to use that hose, you know, to put, to siphon the fluid down in. So anyway, guys, I'm going to say Shea Bearer the myth, the man, the legend, and here come the cops going past chasing somebody. So you guys be cool, have a great week, and we'll see you soon. Bye bye.
