I appreciate this video man. Started doing BIT inspections and going for a T8 ASE. This has given me a better understanding than other explanations I've heard. Great job!

so this is totally different then a car clutch operation! i had no idea! and i own a ‘96 peterbilt but never had to pull the trans… just wondered exactly “what happens when you adjust one” like “what moves to make it grab more” i thought it worked just like my vehicles 😅👍

So wonder if you got a 1/2 but the 1/8 is way over. What then?
