Sean, you are my hero. On the 70s I owned 3 Corvairs, 64 Monza 2 drs manua, 66 Corsa 2 drs manual and my last a 65 4 doors auto. On my 15 to 17 year old I did my own repairs dismounting the engines several times with a 10th of your tool and may even less of your astonishing mechanical knowledge. Honestly I don't remember how I did it. I got completely hooked to your videos watching 2 or 3 everyday. My interest is the Corv, but I subscribed impressed by your abilities, honesty and thorough explanation of your work. Looking forward to find out what else you have for us in the rest of the videos. God bless you, again your my hero. 😊

Note that this is for the 6-speed DSG, not 7-speed DSG

Looks like alot of restrictions

Good job mate

thank you soooo much !! the dealership was trying to charge me $800-$900 parts and labor ! said the part itself was $648💀… i just got it off amazon same price . im about to go and install it now🤞🏾!

Sean, the last time I watched this video, I forgot tell you about my experience with my '65 Chevy Super Sport. The engine always ran on the hot side. During one time, I wanted to add drain valves to the lower part of the engine block for better flushing of the cooling system. Well as I removed the plugs from the engine, no coolant drained out, only casting sand started to fall. The lower portion of the black still had sand in it. No wonder the engine ran hot! It was one on many problems I had with this car!

Amazing..

I have always loved Corvairs……never owned one though but would love to

Boy when you are all done w/ her, & decide to sell, I'd have to raid my 401k, to buy it, as you have done EVERYTHING I want to do to one, & the exhaust note & tone is PERFECT!!!!

While in high school, many years ago I was out late at night with a friend in my early model, and my friend was falling asleep. To wake him up, I stabbed the brakes hard very quickly and twisted off the splined end of the input shaft. I didn't push in the clutch. Car coasted to a stop. Just like yours, I had no forward or reverse. My Dad who always helped with my problems, In 40 years he never believed that's how it broke. He was sure I was racing and dumped the clutch. Strange things do happen.

You need to set the level after the transmission is at a certain temperature. Not cold. Yours is now overfilled.

hey Sean thanks for the update on the Ranchero! 😄😉You should should do a video on the 66 Thunderbird that is my favorite car! question, when you replaced the gas tank on the tbird was it necessary to remove the black filler neck cover it the trunk? I plan on replacing the gas tank. Can I remove the filler neck tube without removing anything in the trunk?

Thanks for showing that. I bought a replacement latch but I’m told I should also get the actuator (the handle in the middle of the door under the VW logo button). I don’t know if the part I am sourcing online is right for my 2009 Rabbit.

You can fill it from the top of the filter. No need for the adapter and the mess. My transmission shifts alot better.

@AutoAnatomy can you give the piston and Rod part numbers ?, cant find them. Thanks for the great video,

Your Dad still got the 66 Tbird?

Follow you for the Corvair content (I have a '61 Lakewood wagon) but I have also owned a '61 Ranchero with the rare Dagenham 4 speed and a '64 Falcon. Ironic that you bobbled the car name, "Corva...", Ranchero." I was doing some testing on the Lakewood today and twice bobbled reaching between the seats to select Drive..., and then remembered the shift lever is on the dash. Glad you got to help your dad, it is almost Father's Day.

Great video, awesome that you're getting to spend quality time with your dad! Memphis is a great town too, last time I was there they had a Cars on Beale Street show. Its amazing that someone thought that Brass hardware would live in the valvetrain. Did you use a set of standard crimp nuts or upgrade to Polylocks? I'm currently putting a new engine in my 67 Ranchero that I have owned since 1980. This makes me want to get moving!

Shawn, I had the same problem with the oil drain plug leaking and wouldn't tighten on my 302. The parts store has a slightly larger drain plug that is self taping and no need to weld or pull the pan. I did it to my hot rod several years ago and still today it's perfect.....just info to consider....Good video, Thanks!

I think you found the smoking gun at 11:25 😂

Nice video! Glad to see you helping your dad out, I wish I could do that.

Sweet little ride your dad has. It's nice that you can afford the time to go home and spend time with your dad. One day he will be gone and the opportunity will be gone as well.

Cool Ute , that series wasnt available here so its fascinating to get up and close with one . We had the XM Falcon ute at the same time this was released.

Put some sand bags in the front.

I replaced and now I have P2196 how to fix tih?

nice job! I'm always scared of doing upholstery, but this gave some encouragement! Too bad, they dont do the backseat with the fabric! it would so much better!

Good lord! I'm glad my 63 has less vacuum devices. no rear fresh air vent, no vacuum locks. I think the only vacuum canister is the brake booster.😁

What year is this VW?

Great video. Great editing!

Bro, why didn't you just top up the DSG fluid from where he changed the filter instead of burning all the seals?"

Just got done doing my 2021 Volkswagen Jetta and it was extremely easy and cost me $74

do you have a link to the repair manual? II also was hoping you would post a link or a part # for the Jeep Wrangler struts. thank you very much for the cool 924 series!

a diesel injection is sequential!

That bearing is a standard 30mm self contained water pump bearing, it is available at about any industrial bearing supplier and it fills perfectly the bill.

I realize that this is a 3 year old video, but still will give commenting a shot -- any chance you still have the PDF on hand (or know where to download it) and could send it? By the way, I also recently reupholstered the seats in my '83 944 NA and your video was super helpful, just wanted to say thanks!

I’m replacing the hubs on my 69, how did you get the parking linkage out? It’s being a Bear for me

Great information! Where did you get the ball joint press? I have a homemade one that is worn out and needs replacing.

I own a '65 and I watch your videos with great interest.

You didn't show the complete video

Great video. Sucks about that broken bolt but no surprise. I, too, was surprised you didn't do the backing plates while there. Although I appreciate the fact it's a pain to pull the bearing apart. You can do it when you do the zerk fittings, especially if you do the bearings while there. However, I've heard that's a good way to ruin the brakes, too. You have to be careful not to add too much grease, otherwise it'll come out the seals and get to your shoes. Looking forward to front discs! Since you've already cut a ring up front, go with the HD or custom springs up front. If you cut 2 rings up front, it won't be streetable anymore IMHO.

Awesome! My first car was a 64 Monza. I wanted to buy another corvair, but we moved from sunny warm California to cold rainy PNW. Question, what do you do about heat with the headers. Is there now on the market an electric heater option?

Nice work !

Good save! I have same Wizard motor. Was made in 46 by Kiekaefer Marine aka Mercury. Same as Mercury KD4 if same vintage. The cork should be sealed with a few coats of nail polish or model airplane dope as it could fail to float in the future and leak. Make sure it pumps water okay via the impeller. Should get a good spray of water from the back of the leg.

Where did you get your wheels? I have the stock 13” and would like a bigger wheel

You’re making yourself a nice little autocrosser!!

Thank you for today's fun video. Just today, I was installing a C4 Corvette strut rod on my car using your previous videos as a reference! ! I replaced the arm with a new rubber bushing, but I would also like to try a spherical bushing.
