Paul Cangialosi came by the shop to help me rebuild the T5 Transmission that’s going into my 1979 Ford Fairmont Project. While we were doing the rebuild, I asked if Paul wouldn’t mind talking about the operation of a manual transmission since we had the gear set out of the case anyway. He agreed, and you get this awesome video talking about how manual transmissions work from the master himself.
You’re welcome.
