Let’s take a look at what tools

you’ll need to make this happen.
We’ll start with hardware: You’ll

cables for connecting the com-

the pass-thru device to the vehicle
OBD-II connector. You’ll also
need an internet connection.

THE NEXT
40 YEARS
BUILDING SUCCESS ONE
CUSTOMER AT A TIME
When Transtar opened the doors of its first small warehouse in a
suburb of Cleveland more than 40 years ago, there were a handful
of employees, some parts on the shelves, a master plan, and an
outlandish dream of being the largest distributor of transmission
parts in the country. No one knew if that was even possible and no
one really cared. They just built the business one customer at a time,
which is exactly what Transtar still does today.
“When I think about what has made Transtar successful in the past 40
years, it is the same thing that continues to make Transtar successful
today: People,” states Ed Orzetti, CEO of Transtar Industries, Inc. “One
person on one end of the phone taking an order from a person
on the other end of the line that starts a chain reaction of events
resulting in a satisfied customer.” That chain reaction, however, now
involves hundreds of people behind the scenes in more than 85
locations who work to serve tens of thousands of customers across
the globe.
On the surface it may appear that nothing has changed in 40 years.
Repairs are needed, orders are taken, parts are accurately picked,
packed, and delivered to customers, and happy consumers drive
back onto the road. It sounds simple, doesn’t it? The difference now
is that rather than happening in one location this now takes place
from coast to coast and beyond.
“The secret to our success,” Orzetti continues, “is that at our core we
still consider that one customer to be as important today as they
were 40 years ago.”
EDWARD H. ORZETTI Although an order seems to begin with a phone call, in reality the
Chief Executive Officer process to successfully deliver that order begins many months before
that phone call is made. It involves every person in the company
operating with one goal – getting the right parts to the right place
when customers need them. “Defining our objective is easy,” says

The industry celebrated Transtar’s 40th anniversary this year with a huge
party at the ATRA Powertrain Expo in Las Vegas. The theme of the event
reflected the year 1975 when Transtar was founded: “Take it to the Limit
– 40 Years of Rocking the Industry.” ATRA executives Dennis Madden
and Jimmy Rodd presented CEO Ed Orzetti with an award at the show’s
ribbon cutting ceremony.
"I want to say thank you for all of your advice and help with my transmission. I never expected such a high level
of customer service. In addition, you had everything I needed in stock. I appreciate you telling me which parts
should be inspected and replaced while the valve body was out of the transmission. It was a pleasure learning
from you."

THE WORD ON THE STREET
by Mike Souza
members.atra.com
I
was doing some research at a local shop
one day while they were working on
a late model Toyota Camry equipped
They Said
with a 2.5L, 4-cylinder engine and a U760E
transmission. The transmission was slipping on
takeoff and the fluid was burnt.
They pulled the unit, disassembled it, and
there it was: The C1 forward/C2 direct drum
It Couldn’t
was black. At the time, the molded piston for
the U760E C1 forward clutch wasn’t available;
the only piston available was for a U660E that
fits behind the 3.5L V6 engine.
Why was the U660E piston available but
Be Done
not the U760E? Because the U660E was failing
a lot because the molded C1 forward piston
was failing. That increased the demand for the
piston so it was more popular to produce.
The shop had a U660E core, so we took
it apart to examine the C1 forward/C2 direct
drum assembly. Unfortunately it was nothing
like the U760E. Rats; we thought we’d get
lucky and be able to use it, since they had a
new piston for that unit.
When I showed this

to the rebuilder and shop owner
they looked at me as though
I were from another planet.

This was a typical, end-of-
the-week customer who wants
his car back for the weekend. So,
while the shop was calling around
for a U760E forward drum or a
rebuildable core, I took a closer
look at the two drum assemblies
sitting side by side on the bench. Figure 1
The first thing I noticed
was the corrugated area on the
U760E and the upper windows
and corrugations on the U660E
C2 apply sleeve. These corrugated
areas and the upper window
openings are what the input speed
sensor monitors to develop the
input speed signal to the ECM. So
I counted the slots and windows:
There was the same number of
corrugated slots on the U760E
as there were windows and
corrugated slots on the U660E.
I measured the corrugated
slots and window openings
with a caliper and discovered
they matched. Then I measured
the outside diameters of both
assemblies; they matched too
(figure 1).
Next, I placed the two C2
apply sleeves on top of each other;
as you can see, they matched up
quite well (figure 2). The only
other difference I could find
between the two assemblies was Figure 2
GEARS January/February 2016 25

They Said It Couldn’t Be Done
the U660E C2 apply sleeve was a bit

taller than the U760E apply sleeve
(figure 3).
With so many similarities, I
decided to try to install the U660E
drum assembly in the U760E case
(figure 4). I needed to see if the longer
apply sleeve would hit anything inside
the U760E. Turns out there was plenty
of room for the taller U660E sleeve.
When I showed this to the rebuilder
and shop owner they looked at me as
though I were from another planet.
I convinced them to give it a try;
the only issue that concerned me
was that we might get an input speed
sensor code. But if my measurements
were correct, the swap should work
without any issues. The other benefit
of using the U660E forward/direct
drum assembly is the U660E drum

Position by Dennis Madden

D
uring the recent Powertrain
Expo, we discussed the idea
of reaching out to the next
generation of technicians and finding a
way to bring them into the transmission
industry.
One problem we’ve heard over and
over is that you can’t find technicians
ready to be productive in the shop
right from a trade school or automotive
program. They know a little bit about a
few systems, but they just don’t “have
what we’re looking for.”
Which leads to the question: Are
we setting our expectations too high?
Consider other fields; say plumb-
ing or electrical work. A young person
takes a two-year program in one of
these fields and learns that water runs
downhill and that you shouldn’t touch
the white and black wires together.
They know how not to break things
and that might be about it. The rest
of their training comes on the job,
working as an apprentice.
For some reason in our industry
we don’t see it that way: We want
someone to be productive right out of
school. The reality is that much of the
real training an individual will receive
will be in your shop.
So the question is, how do we
train these individuals? And how do
we safeguard ourselves from going
through several years of training, only
to have them quit and go elsewhere?

THE REVENUE GROWTH HABIT
SELLING TO
EXECUTIVE
BUYERS
by Alex Goldfayn
CEO, Evangelist Marketing Institute
T
here are different kinds of
buyers for transmission shops:
consumers, moms, dads. But,
as I learned while speaking at ATRA’s
Expo last October, some of you sell
business-to-business. In that world
there are also different buyers: logistics
managers, for example.
But one kind of customer can
buy more than any other: executive
buyers. I’m talking about the CEOs,
presidents, and principals. These
folks are different than all the rest,
and selling to them is the focus of
this column.
First, how are they different?
They don’t have a lot of time
because they’re babysitting — er,
managing — large teams. So you have
to make your case and demonstrate
your value quickly, impressively,
and memorably.
Although they’re in high-level
positions, they hate risk. That’s ironic,
but most executives spend their days
trying not to rock the boat. The less
attention they bring to themselves, the
better. As such, you must demonstrate
to them definitively that you’re a
safe option.
They’re being sold to constantly.
And because of their positions, they’re
surrounded by “yes” people who tell
them what they want to hear all day.
Because of this, you must enter the
conversation with them as peers. You
must walk into the room as equals.
With these kinds of problems, why

Renting Trucks
Toward the end of 2007, the economy took a
serious tumble. It wasn’t a good time for auto repair, and
Builder’s Transmission was no exception. It reached a
point where Jeff would do just about anything necessary
to make payroll. “If a person asked me, I’d wash his car;
whatever it took,” he said.
Then one day, about six years ago, something
changed: “A guy came by in a U-Haul truck and asked
me if I’d be interested in renting U-Hauls. And I said,
‘Why not? I have a big lot here; let’s see if it’ll help.’
Today I probably rent $250,000 a year in U-Hauls. And
I sell about $5000 a month in boxes.”
Not bad for something that he started on a whim to
help make payroll.
“It saved us; it really did. It doesn’t cost anything:
They bring the trucks to you; you have to have an
internet connection, but who doesn’t these days? You
rent their trucks for them; they take care of them. You
make 20% of the rental fee and you put the money in
the bank.
“It helped pay the bills when things were tight.
Now I’m used to the extra money. When we’re busy
sometimes it’s a hassle, but I don’t know if I’d want to
do without the additional profit.”
There’s no doubt that the U-Haul program has been
a lifesaver for Jeff and crew, but there’s an additional
benefit that he gets from the program; one that may well
