Transmission Swap & Overhaul: Opel Olympia Rekord 53

Right from the beginning, something was up with the Transmission. Try going faster than 85 on a hill, and it would jump out of gear. So I sourced another transmission (from 1957 with a synchronized 1st gear) and rebuilt it - discovering it took much more than just taking one transmission out and putting another one back in. Enjoy! 0:00 - Intro 2:29 - Taking apart the '57 Transmission 7:02 - '57 Reassembly 17:18 - Removing the '53 19:46 - Adaptation Work 21:32 - '57 Install #1 25:48 - Issues #1 29:49 - Install #2 30:07 - Issues #2 30:56 - '53 Rebuild? 31:35 - Fixing the '57 35:04 - 3rd time's the Charm
