Customer Reviews

A great book to try on your first transmission

Although successful rebuilding engines, I thought transmissions were taboo. Then I broke the reverse band on my sons 1990 Chrysler 404 3-spd tranny and threw in one from the wrecker. I bought and studied this book cover to cover and even though it didn't specifically show a 404, it helped me figure out the basics and theory from all the others shown. The vehicle's repair manual I had gave me the band adjustments. So, I ordered up the new band, seal and gasket kit and thrust washers, and set to work. This book gave me all the advice and warnings necessary, the puppy's back together, back in the vehicle and running perfectly. Which is just as well since my son totalled the tranny from the wrecker - have you ever seen a differential explode?

Excellent choice for beginners

If you want to start repairing automatic transmissions this is your first book!. It will help you introduce and understand the basics and theory of operation of most auto transmissions out there. Once you get thru this book, is just a matter of getting the service manual of the specific transmission you want to repair and the repair kit to be able to succeed, like me, on your first overhaul.

great but ...

this book is good for beginners or people who are just learning the ropes about automatic transmission. lacks the depth and technical concepts that a repair manual should have. still ... very helpful on a whole
