Performing car maintenance can be a pretty drawn out and messy affair. Rebuilding an automatic transmission, however, might be one of the most the most daunting tasks to be found under a hood.
In a video posted to YouTube on Wednesday, the guys at Hagerty took a stab at rebuilding a three-speed automatic transmission from an early 1960s Ford Thunderbird. The job sure looks difficult, as a slew of sludge and worn-out parts must be dealt with. Thankfully, Hagerty condensed the process into a neatly-packed five-minute time lapse.
We’re not sure how, but somehow this absurdly complex puzzle was solved. The work itself clearly is difficult; however, keeping track of the seemingly millions of tiny parts might be the hardest part.
So next time you drop off your vehicle for a transmission repair, make sure you thank your mechanic for completing the ridiculous job you tasked them with.
