LSXcalade Transmission Ultimate Destruction + Biggest Upgrade!

What happens here

After the initial transmission removal, the damaged unit is sent to Extreme Automatics (also referred to as 'Triple 7' in the video) for analysis and repair. One month later, the speaker receives the actual blown-up components back. He visually inspects the damaged planetary gear set, noting the ripped teeth and the heat-induced blue discoloration, which confirms excessive thrust loading and failure of the stock gears. He explains that new billet, straight-cut planetary gears are needed to withstand the increased power of his setup. These upgraded components are designed to prevent future failures by eliminating thrust loading issues common with helical gears under high stress.

Goal: Identify the specific cause of transmission failure and procure stronger, replacement components.

Tools and materials

  • Damaged Planetary Gear Set — The specific components identified as failed
  • Damaged Transmission Unit — Source of failed components for analysis
  • New Billet Planetary Gear Set — Replacement and upgrade for the failed stock components
  • Transmission Fluid — Assessing condition and presence of metal debris indicating failure

out so I tried to start this thing to have power steering while he was flat telling me and it locked up like it rolls fine and neutral unless the motors running and then it locks up like it broke the strap locked up and park still works so I was really hoping it was a transfer case but it's not because if it was the transfer case we'd be Park wouldn't work anymore so this is not good I've never witnessed debauchery quite like this from a transmission or driveline and failure to the point where like pulling this thing out weird like bust something loose to get it out this is just bad this is a big one let me tell you what we might be down for a bit guys because if I'm breaking planetaries or something major like that they're gonna break in a turbo 400 - because it's the same same stuff so if I need a big shaft the oven that's a big money come on man move your freaking piece of stool transit van well you ready to do some dragon back here at triple7 basically what we got to do here is not get stung by bees first of all but move my truck and trailer out roll the Escalade out and it doesn't move so we're gonna have to flat toe it up the little ramp back there into the building because my trailer is too big to make the sweep to get up the ramp vehicular Tetris yeah see there's the ramp their normal car you could push it up but this is too heavy to push it's terrible it's like more muggy in here than the the spot between your thigh and your ballsack right now well I got the transmission out I didn't film any of that because I'm kind of on a time constraint when it comes to getting back to Pittsburgh to do the transaction on this trailer the other guy buying it wants to use it for a race next weekend it's just they were taking me 20 salong with film everything and I took it out it took about two hours pull it out there it is ready to go and what I'm doing is leaving the Escalade here triple seven and the route from Dallas to Pittsburgh happens taking right through Cincinnati which is more or less where extreme amount of Acts is there in Amelia so I'm gonna drop off there Lana's gonna go through we're gonna figure out what the heck happened we suspect that it may have chunked the planetary which would be best-case scenario because that means that it's just a power game now and I need to get better better client services that believe that's one of the only things in there that's not built yet because planet Billa planetary gear sets are expensive and generally…
