If you listened to dude you would be driving a 10 year old Toyota. He loves old Toyota’s and Lexus’s

He spoke high of 10R80 in one video. Now he seems to be trashing them.

He’s nothing more than a YTber trying to get “likes” to pad his YT income from “click bait”....

That guy is highly clowned and frowned upon by anyone outside of a shadetree mechanic. Everyone that i talk too laughs at his advice and lack of professional content.

I always tell everyone. Just let the car warm a bit if you're in a cold region. And get your fluid checked for free under warranty. Just check to see if it needs the half quart that I had done. It took care of the little issues. Like not going into gear for the first few weeks.

I love the transmission. It is so fucking smooth. And there is nothing else I would purchase after owning the car for a year.

Scotty also is incredibly clickbait. He does speak from experience. But that is anecdotal. Completely relative to the cars he see's.

Again, I had the half quart of fluid added and not a problem since.

That's awesome! Thank you for sharing this. I think consumer report's annual stats released in April is a much better source for statistical reliability ratings. You are right, Scotty is highly anecdotal and not at all statistical.

I've experienced jerks 'occasionally' from stop that the dealership was never able to replicate. My nearest dealership won't check anything until they are able to replicate an issue. How did you approach the dealership for checking the fluid levels?

I love the 10R80. I had an 07 GTI DSG back in the day and loved the trans. My first thought when I test drove my Stang was 'damn... this feels like the DSG'. Once you get use to it, and it learns your driving patterns, it's a very good transmission.

I had a brand new 50K$ mustang and have built my previous mustangs. I'm also an engineer and have worked in parts for years. I came prepared with exactly what I felt was happening internally. Not enough fluid to complete the friction to catch the clutch. From there I explained that at long rides to work. When going on a slight 5 degree to even 3 degree slope up or down. That the transmission would have this issue when warm. I would also have this issue on stops and gos at stop signs during the cold. Which to my foot PHD. lol. Told me that again, we were not creating enough fluid pressure to complete the necessary gear shift.

I looked the guy in the face and said. I'd like to simply see if it needs the oil checked and to reflash the ECU for the transmission. So I can re teach it from there.

He agreed with me and we went from there. It was real quick and easy. I didn't make any points to say it was happening and all these movements. I just used my knowledge of the internals of the transmission to lay out exactly what I felt was happening mechanically. And my problem was solved. half a quart short.

Good luck. Just keep shopping dealers if they are difficult.

just another you tuber needing to up his viewership, say or intimate anything to get more , whether or not any real info with backup is offered... mostly generalizations ... sure he "knows" cars... but I think his schtick is way overboard and mostly useless.

I experience exactly the same. This is amazing. Thanks again!
