So... my manual transmission suffers from the first gear jam..Mobil PTX makes the problem go away... for a while. Gee.... I wonder if these Pakistani wizards could take a look?
Amazing how we sweat details such as torque values... getting DIYs from the 'net.... pay big bucks for AllData.... Watch these guys tear apart a transmission... throw the bazzilion bits into trays... and somehow put it all back together. Wizardry I tell ya!!! These guys are great!
Jake!! You need to hire these guys.

First gear jam? I believe mine suffers from that also. Is that a balk going into first, even when fully stopped? If so, my 6 speed just started doing that the last couple times I've driven it. I just turned 21k miles.
It goes to the dealer in a couple weeks to address it while it's still under CPO warranty (2 months left). I wonder how they will handle it, I never got the warm fuzzy feeling from the SA there when it came to warranty repairs.
Edit. Great video, I never knew where PDK's went to get rebuilt. Childs play!

Wow, and with 24 month warranty! Like you say, we take too much for granted and worry too much on BS stuff lol.

Amazing display of group think and mechanical skills. Torque wrenches need not apply and no repair manual. The small hands help!!

I just love this channel.... here is one where the gears are really chewed up..... In the USA, we say the whole thing is toast since metal particulates circulate and we assume everything is ruined. Not here!!!!
Again, Pakistani Wizards at work. BTW, no ratchet wrenches?
Question: Why the drum brake? Is this a crude form of engine braking? A safety item or what you do in absence of a Jake Brake?

Kind of cool, especially when most of the developing world have these vehicles that needs to be working all the time. I imagine that if they didn't do a good job, there may be some consequences...
