A lot of people here are complaining about how the video doesn’t explain how it works, it’s not supposed to, the show is called “How It’s MADE”

Suddenly all the GM transmission problems make sense; just look at the amount of fucks not given during assembly.

That video didn´t make me any smarter. Now I even have more questions.

I'm in an automatic transmission course right now and, man, once you understand how these things actually function its pretty amazing. Engineers can do some awesome things.

This episode was filmed in the General Motors Transmission Plant in Windsor, Ontario. My dad worked there at the time and remembers them filming haha

Transmissions don't last long, but their blocks sure do last forever. 1979 El Camino, original 305. Still going strong.

This is amazing. Thanks for posting. Amazing how complex these transmissions are. I am sure you will agree that transmissions are some of the most complex things made by humans. The number of components that must be precision-made and interconnected are awe-inspiring.

Damn I had no idea transmissions were so complicated. The level of complexity in a transmission is insane.
