Glad someone found the original. But you really have to take a look at the new and improved mode: the Retroencabulator [click on the video, bottom right]

I work as an engineer the EEs love this video.

This should be compulsory viewing before any one tries to adjust an auto trans. It explains it so well

Just to make it perfectly clear

Both videos are jokes. The first was made because the author of the skit was making a statement on the amount of technical jargon out there, that you could make up stuff and still sound informed.

re: used transmissions


Im thinking about buying a rebuilt one with 200K very cheap anyone know why it would be a bad idea if the trans has a warranty?
