You do right to leave it till owner sees it and is fully aware of it.
Changing transmission oil and filters at regular intervals is a must for long and trouble free driving in an automatic.

If you do fix it a helicoil in that cover will work well. Just done that on a valve cover, luckily the one that stripped was the easy one to get to, not the ones at the back.

New camera? The color and clarity in this video is much better than before.

Chunks of silicone migrated to filter?

What model transmission is that?

Just did services on a 16 and 18 Chevy, fluid didn't look bad but the owners wished they only had that much debris in the pan. They both looked like a well grown Gia pet. Showed the owners and told them to start saving for their new transmission or vehicle.

I wonder how much of that excess silicone found its way into the filter and perhaps restricted the oil flow?? but you are right with all that metal in the pan it now needs a rebuild!!

The trans is probably going BYE-BYE. The metallic crap in the pan may be in the solenoids causing the current problem and could also be contaminating the whole trans. You definitely need to cover your tail. As always, great tip video.

Yea inch thick of silicon on the pan. Yea that's alot of metal.

Re: silicone. "If a little is good, more is better, and too much is just right!"--- sarcasm.

The trick with silicone clean both surfaced with de natured alcohol and an 1/8 bead remember what comes out on the outside comes out on the inside

Good call!

That transmission is toast

I can almost guarantee you that’s the problem but I will not test it to be sure

Communication goes a long way. I always told my employees this constantly. Also if you tell a customer you are going to do something, for crying out loud, follow through.

I don't have or use silicone. It does irreparable damage

What I really don't like is when a shop acts like you are out to sue them and that fear prevents them from wanting to work on your vehicle. I tried to get an oil change once and told them that because my oil pressure gauge goes down at idle, please don't start it and leave it idling. Please just change the oil and park it outside and shut it off and then give me the key. I was keeping my foot on the gas a little bit to raise the reading on the gauge at those long stop lights as a habit, not knowing for sure what is going on, and when I told them that they refused to do an oil change on it.

I asked them if I could sign a waiver of my rights as a customer or something, and they said "No". Can you believe that? What good are rights if you can't even give them away? If you can't give them away, did you really have any to begin with?

Well, it turned out to only be a faulty sender or oil pressure switch and I kept driving it, putting on hundreds of thousands of miles and I still drive it today. I've found it difficult if not impossible to talk with shops, especially the mechanic who works on it. If you get a shop that has someone at the desk who doesn't work on it, and then you don't get to talk to the mechanic at all, what the hell is that? Then the person at the desk talks to the mechanic and they tell you they recommend a new timing chain, and you tell them that you wished you could have first talked to the mechanic to tell him you just replaced the timing chain yourself a few thousand miles ago. No, there was nothing wrong with the new timing chain and gears. The old chain was hitting the inside of the cover and making a lot of noise, so it got replaced.

Turned out the mechanic couldn't count the number of times my engine light flashed as you turn on and off the ignition key a certain number of times, to see what the codes say. After many years of going through the emissions process, as they did nothing to fix anything, most of the shops not even running the motor, but just charging me the $150.00 fee to get the waiver, I decided to look into repairing it myself and suddenly all kinds of smooth power appeared out of nowhere and the gas mileage significantly increased, and it only cost me about $200.00 in parts, having 5 codes that showed up. I learned how to read the codes with the help of an auto parts salesman. The state emissions system failed me. The only one who seemed to be able to fix it was neither emissions qualified, nor was he a mechanic. I have lots of horror stories about auto repair shops.

Got to cover yourself 👍👌

As a former Tech. Always remember CYA (cover your a$$) people only too happy to sue you or the business.

remember when auto trans never needed soloniods or computers to work
