Your work is awesome. Your knowledge and experience with such a very wide range of equipment is amazing.

I'll tell you a little secret about myself, I was working with an old truck mechanic and one day he had a 13 speed Fuller transmission about all torn down and he was doing le you were, going thru inspecting gears and bearings deciding what he need for new parts to put it back together. He says to me the only thing he dreds is timing the gears as he puts it back together. He says sometimes you have to turn a shift 13 to 14 turns to get the timing right as you put the transmission together, and if you lose your place of where your at, you start all over again. Ever since then I've been scared of doing truck transmission. I've been watching you do this stuff for a couple years now and am amazed at your knowledge of stuff you do. Thanks for sharing....

Warren, you need to clean that stripped gear up and have it mounted on a plaque. It's amazing he is getting away that easily (not that having to rebuild a transmission is getting off easy). That thing should have scattered like a grenade. It's amazing what heat and no or little oil will do to a transmission. Mind you, I have gone out to calls where guys have tweaked jack shafts and pretzeled drive lines climbing hills (7%~10% and better grades) and managed not to hurt the transmissions or diffs. I would think with no serious damage to the counter shafts and other gears, it would be cost effective to just have you rebuild it (seriously your that far into it any way). I think remans are alright, but it's still a gamble on what "kind" of reman your getting. Thanks for taking us along on this job, looking forward to the next episodes as you get them out there.. Stay Safe & Thanks.. P.S. You airport joke didn't go by unnoticed rotflmao...

Really enjoyed this. I helped a guy rebuild one of these a few years back. He was a truck mechanic and knew all the tricks to working on them. Was a lot of fun, and watching you work on this one jogged my memory. I didn't help take the auxiliary section apart, though, so looking forward to that, as well as the re-assembly. Thank you!

Wow, what a job .looks very complicated.but you make it look easy .that kid that turned down working for you missed out big time .the knowledge you have far surpasses any mechanic I've ever dealt with . Your a walking encyclopedia. Great work .looking forward to the rebuild series thanks Warren .

I have worked on hot rods since the 60's and never really did any big trucks though I did help my uncle a few times with his tractors and such on the farm.. But only maybe 3 or 4 different times.. I find this absolutely fascinating.. I wish I was young enough to come and help you out a bit and learn more about it all.. I like your work ethic too.. get 'er done!

As usual, a superlative instruction of a breakdown, diagnosis, and future repair of the gears. I will never cease to be amazed at your cleverness and knowledge of what you do Warren. It takes a very, very special, skill of superb quality to do what you do. I take my hat off to you and wish that I could do more to show just how much I appreciate what you do. My thanks and kindest regards. 😁🔧👌

Thank you Warren for a lesson in diagnostics I really enjoy your videos. Tom Uk

[powerhouseangling]

I’m floored by how much knowledge you have! Keep up with the videos man! 👌

[csterett]

I like it when you talk us through the repair process and we can really see what you're doing. Very interesting content.

The cold season has arrived, take care of yourself, my friend, because we love you so much.

It is a very long time since I looked into an Eaton( Fuller) gearbox. Your concise video brings back many memories. look after your back with those heavy bits of iron. Thanks for another great video.

[srlstephen]

Excelllent video Warren, one of your best. Looking forward to the next part of the series. Thanks for posting.🇬🇧

The gentleman who stated it would have direct still was saying that because when the #1 sliding clutch is forward it is essentially locking the input shaft to the main shaft by way of the dogs on the inside of that damaged gear. At that point the counter shafts are spinning but no power is going through them. Also if u get the counter shafts mixed up the one with 47 teeth on the pto drive gear goes on the bottom

[richardcowley]

The young who study engineering at uni should watch these videos, very informative also the students should have practical

[bonniedobkin]

Miss seeing your weenier dogs 🐕. In the beginning or each video, , they are precious ❤️👍🏻💯%

[wonjat]

Great tear down Warren, keen to see the rebuild. Hope you’re keeping well.🇦🇺

Always learn something from Warren....A smattering of my childhood was listening to truck-driver talk. My dad traded welding/maintenance help for space in a shop with semis out front. I heard much about late 70s trucking woes, ins and outs. At that time a 350 Cummins expanded to the 400 WERE Mo-Pac had a brake lockup on one drive unit, My dad spent several hours building and grinding that wheel/tire surface so they could transport to maintenance for replacement....Much bread and butter in that small town.

Thanks for sharing buddy god bless you and your family

[robertstdennis]

You mentioned that you had a customer complain about travel time! i liked your answer. i think i would have added that they can bring their equipment to the shop. See how far that would go
