Introduction and Project Overview

what is the purpose of all of this taking it apart the purpose of this shift kit that i should have explained in the beginning of the video and maybe i'll cut this clip into the beginning and you'll just wonder what's going on here it is to help hold more horsepower and shift harder because for those of you who don't understand completely how an automatic transmission works from my horrible understanding of it which is not very much but enough to know that the different clutch packs inside there are held together by fluid pressure from pump which is you know spun off the engine and that's what hydraulic fluid pressure goes through all these things well they say a transmission is blown up or melted it's when the fluid pressure is being applied to a specific clutch pack to do a specific thing and it is not sticking like when you hit the brakes on your car and your brake pads are gone and you don't stop it's like sort of like that if it's not sticking you're not moving and what this does is we're going to end up drilling a couple of holes bigger in some places that lets more fluid through and we'll increase the pressure inside the transmission to have more clamping force on those clutch packs and also we'll have more clamping force and it will get that clamping force faster so the fluid can move quicker and move harder to hit gears harder and hold them stronger that's what the purpose of this is and why you have to go in here and make holes bigger and change springs and that kind of stuff does that make sense it makes a lot more sense i was just confused because i thought that you were just like gonna get this transmission and like put it in uncle rob i didn't know they were like gonna sit here and take it all apart yeah no this is i'm not touching anything on the inside we're just doing the valve body part because if the whole thing is coming apart it's going to someone else and it's getting better clutch packs of billet input shaft all that stuff but i want to put this in together with the basic hd2 shift kit something you can do by watching youtube videos like this one or someone's who's put together better than mine that's done it before in your garage floor throw it in your truck and see what happens that's what we're going to do so if this transmission melts it'll take it apart and tell you why it snaps an input shaft will tell you how much horsepower it happened at because uncle rob is a build for science it's the people's build for science because if…
