At the Fall 2015 GMCWS rally in Pueblo, Manny Trovao disassembled a GMC transmission in one session and then reassembled it in a second session while explaining what he does when rebuilding one and why he does it.

In order to show the audience an up-close view of what Manny was doing, we used a camera, some light in tight places, and a projector and we recorded what we were showing on the screen along with audio good enough to hear what Manny and even audience members were saying. I have had a couple of fellow GMCers review the 2.5-hour recording and they agree that the quality of the picture and sound are good and it is almost as good as being there with the Manny Tranny master himself. The video is 2 ½ hours long.

The price of the video is $10 including mailing which will be donated to GMCWS (minus the $1 - $2 cost). You can send me a check or a PayPal donation (so no fees).

This video has some excellent information on it and I would encourage anyone who is even mildly interested to pick one up and watch it. I'm also hoping the Western States group will continue to make these types of things available to the GMC community at large. While not a very good substitute for actually being at a rally, this kind of info can be very helpful for those who can't make it for whatever reason.

Armand,

It only make a little difference to be (like between really want it and gotta have it), but is it both days (tear down - too) or just the build day?

You should bring a few to Dothan and Branson and Mansfield (and.....)

Matt

Second day only. The first day's recording had lots of holes in it due to my inexperience with the camera.
